Milestone: Eco, driven by quality AND price

Ey up my faithful blogworms, just got back from another successful Eco kitchen adventure in deepest, darkest Cambridge.

An Eco Elite kitchen this time in a painted English Ash where you can still see the grain pattern in the paint finish. The cabinets are again our bedrock cabinets from the Eco2 range in 75% recycled timber content 25% FSC.
Painted in Farrow & Ball colour: Pointing 2003. This sits well on the cabinet colour of U104 Alabaster.

We were contracted to supply and fit the furniture content of this kitchen and install it, the client supplying their own appliances and our old friends GlassEco were supplying and fitting the worktops. For Glasseco in the UK,  check them out at: http://urbnrok.co.uk

Now, bearing in mind the quality of our eco ranges and the fact that this kitchen is from our premium range, Eco Elite, the kitchen content came out at just £5623.00 inc.vat.

We feel this represents fantastic value for both genuine eco content and the quality of solid English hardwoods.

So, for those of you who look at the Eco Elite range on our website and think you can't afford it ....THINK AGAIN ! .... Eco kitchens done the Milestone way are very affordable, we can't stress this enough.

Any way, enough of my rambling, here's the pictures of the kitchen so far. We will, of course, keep you posted with further pictures once the wonderful GlassEco have completed the worktops. 

I'll let the pictures do the talking !!

This was as far are we went on this one, so I'm just as excited as you to see the finished pics once the worktops go on and everything is second fixed and connected. 

Probably likely to be about another week or two before we see the finished results but stay tuned for further developments, as they say !!

Milestone: Eco, driven by quality AND price

Jules

When we say it's Eco, we prove it !

Ey up my faithful blogworms, as we're going to be away installing one of our lovely eco kitchens down in deepest, darkest Cambridgeshire next week so I thought I 'd give you all a sneaky peek at the full extent of our Eco stable of kitchens that are currently for your delectation and delight. 

Talks with my web guy are in full swing and hopefully within the next few weeks these will form the content of our new website.

Our range has over doubled in the last few years, hence the reason for a new approach to our web presence.The new site will be much more user friendly for I-pads, phones and desktop viewing and much more interactive for us to add stuff and you to comment on stuff and ask questions. 

The info you see below puts the kitchens pretty much in order of cost, lowest first, going up in price as you get lower down the page.

To prove to you that going Eco isn't as expensive as you think it is, here are a couple of comparator prices: 

As mentioned in my last blog, 

An Eco2 500mm full height base unit complete is just £134.40 

and going up the scale to the 

Eco Elite Hardwood in English Ash, the same unit is only £191.08. 

Both prices include vat.

We feel these prices represent fantastic value for your green pound and will compete well against comparable products in the market at this time. Certification to prove the provenance of your kitchen accompanies every Eco kitchen we supply !!

When we say it's Eco and sustainable, we mean it !!

Looking after your planet. Jules.

Never been a better time to talk Eco !

Ey up my faithful blogworms, not posted for a bit, been away again and on holiday but back now and off we go !

Promised a catch up on this kitchen, it's now looking resplendant in its Eco Cosentino quartz tops in White Diamond. 

This kitchen is in the Fjord Green which is the sister colour to our Denim Blue on display here at Milestone HQ.

While I'm on the subject and to give you an idea, Eco done properly does not need to be expensive, it's a myth put about by "none believers" 

Using our Eco2 range, which these kitchens are from, a full height 500mm base unit complete is an extreme reasonable £134.40 inc.vat.  

( and that's an 18mm rigid built cabinet with top quality Blum soft close hinges )

Put that up against "other companies" and see how we compare !!!

The huge advantage that the Eco Cosentino material gives us is the ability to create full height splashbacks as shown here in the quartz material. Typically with other types of quartz, these would normally be in 20mm thick which makes then seriously heavy but using Cosentino enables us to make splashbacks and upstands in the much slimmer 11mm. A cleaner, slimmer profile and a lot less weight. 

The worktops are just as happy in 20mm or 30mm thick, we used 30mm here (being the more normal thickness ) and all the upstands and window cills are in 11mm. It just looks so much sleeker and less weighty creating a more modern look.

And, as those of you who know us, we don't say it's Eco unless we can prove it ( unlike other companies !! ) so this pic shows the provenance of the Eco Cosentino material.

Every now and then in this industry you get a "look" or a "style" that captures the zeitgeist of the time and this appears to be one just such occasion.

Since we put the Cosentino White Diamond on a display here at HQ, it really has captured peoples imagination.

The Denim Blue / Fjord Green colours combined with the White Diamond tops are rapidly establishing themselves as our best sellers. 

Whether it's the coastal style or the clean, bright lines, we don't know but we have conpleted 4 kitchens with this look and have 3 more booked in so far going forwards. 

Usually kitchens, as we people, tend to be a mix of varieties but trends do develop and long may this one continue as we love it !!

We have the Eco Cosentino in 4 colours, another one is the Riverbed, shown below, this time in a mix of 30mm tops and 20mm upstands / window cill. This range of material really is a winner from our viewpoint.

If you are looking to Eco for your next project, there has honestly never been a better time to explore the fabulous materials that we can offer. 

Come in and talk to us, see what all the fuss is about, 

Committed to doing our bit for the environment !!

Jules.
