SieMatic kitchen systems are said to offer immense flexibility in design to suit the space and configuration requirements of the modern kitchen.

SieMatic of Germany offers a vast range of kitchens which are designed to suit the tastes of the most discerning customers.

The concept of quality has always had a very special meaning at SieMatic ever since its launch and the founders of the company firmly believed in the strength of innovation in terms of technology and design, something which SieMatic has always proved over decades, says a company spokesman. "These elements are strongly expressed in the new SieMatic kitchen ranges such as the Painter's Collection or the Modular Kitchen."

Another special quality of the SieMatic brand is the extraordinary variety of the design elements and styles. The company, which has built kitchens since 1929, has succeeded on an international level and has set challenging standards in technology, manufacturing and design, he says.

"Kitchens should function perfectly as an everyday workplace and that calls for state-of-the-art technology in planning, designed to suit personal needs. SieMatic can guarantee this with its extraordinary wide range of dimensions and materials, shapes and colours and products and concepts," he says.

Detailing the benefits of SieMatic kitchens, the spokesman says: "Even in an extremely small kitchen, there are virtually unlimited possibilities for individual designs where all of the walls and corners are used in the most efficient ways. In larger kitchens, the main consideration is the economy of distance. Whatever the space and configuration, selecting the right design and cabinetry is essential and SieMatic provides the best solutions."

Turning to the firm's modular range, he says: ''The enormous flexibility of the SieMatic modular kitchen meets the changing needs and concepts of the client. It can be modified entirely at will and without any major effort, extended and taken out if the buyer moves house. It opens up an entirely new perspective for planning, far beyond the simple fitting of a kitchen.''

The basic elements of the modular system are: a ''table'' which is equipped with a work surface required, the electrical appliances, and the variety of cabinets, storage areas and drawers.

In SieMatic kitchens, the functional areas are integrated for maximum efficiency with a mix of contrasting materials such as wood, stainless steel and basalt grey laminate.

The spokesman continues: "Something that is particularly important for a kitchen to be ergonomically right is having the ideal working heights for different people and for the different activities such as preparation, cooking and washing up. SieMatic working surfaces, hobs, and sinks can be fitted at different heights."

SieMatic provides special cabinets and fitted elements in a total of about 300 different dimensional variants for optimum integration of modern kitchen appliances in the planning of the kitchen. It also provides a choice of sophisticated fittings, says the spokesman.

The most important item in a kitchen is the worktop, equipped and laid out in the ideal way, in a right size to avoid moving around, providing a good general view and a rapid access to everything one needs. "Thanks to the versatile SieMatic products, consumers can design their own preparation area to a format that is tailored precisely to suit their needs," he says.

"Practical experience has shown how helpful carefully thought out shapes for the washing up area can be. SieMatic has a wide range to offer: sinks in stainless steel, corian, enamel, granite and porcelain, all with a first class finish. Sinks with different functions, even in extremely small spaces," he says.

"Nowhere else in the house are there as many essential utensils as in the kitchen. That means it is especially a good idea here to make use of every angle and fit the room out systematically. The wall area above the worktop is particularly well-suited for integration into the planning. SieMatic provides not only special cabinets and shelving units, but also the practical niche systems which provide plenty of additional storage space just where it is needed, as well as keeping all those useful items right where one can reach them."

The spokesman continues: "To keep pace with different expectations and requirements over years, SieMatic kitchen systems are also undergoing constant development from the conceptual points of view, adapting to current styles of life. SieMatic offers not only an infinite variety of possible equipment and fitting formats, but also a whole range of design concepts that differ in form, colour and materials."
