Are you ready for a new kitchen but don’t know where to start looking? It can be daunting when you first decide to look for a new kitchen as there are so many retailers on the market offering a wide range of products. Understanding the difference between a high street kitchen and a German kitchen is the first step in knowing the direction you wish to take in your new kitchen journey. Find out more on the differences below, so you know what to choose when selecting your dream kitchen!
One of the biggest differences between buying a high street kitchen versus a German kitchen, is the quality. Many of the materials used in high street kitchens can be cheaper and lower in quality, meaning that they can often be more fragile and poorly designed. However, when you choose a Prestons German kitchen, you’re guaranteed the highest level of quality on the market.
German manufacturers are known for sourcing durable and sustainable materials, ensuring that your kitchen withstands the test of time. Here at Prestons, our kitchens come from the largest kitchen manufacturer in Germany, and our team is trained by German experts, meaning our kitchens have becomes synonymous with superior performance and luxury. We always provide solutions that enhance our customers’ lifestyles, but at a lower price than you might expect, meaning our solutions are often better value compared to some other high street options, like Wren, Magnet and Howdens.
The level of customisation when designing your new kitchen is very different when buying from high street kitchen retailers and German kitchen retailers. On the high street, retailers offer limited options compared to bespoke, innovative, German kitchen designers.
This means that your ability to personalise the design, materials and layout of your kitchen to your style and requirements will be restricted, so you may not be able to design something tailored to your unique preferences. However, when buying a German kitchen from Prestons Kitchens, your satisfaction is guaranteed! Our design team will work alongside you throughout the process ensuring each specification of your new kitchen is perfect for you and your unique needs – our team can also help point out customisations which you didn’t even know exist!
A German kitchen is built to last. Made with precision engineering and the most durable materials available, Prestons Kitchens promise your new kitchen will stand the test of time. In places like Berlin, in Germany, kitchens are so well made that when a tenant decides to move, they take their kitchen with them – just like another piece of furniture! As the heart of the home, it is important that kitchen retailers understand the value of investing in the manufacturing process of their products. Here at Prestons, all of our kitchens come with a standard 30-year guarantee, without showing any wear and tear before then, as all our kitchens are designed by us and manufactured in Germany. Our team at Prestons always ensure that your kitchen is perfect for you, maintaining a high level of involvement even after your kitchen has been installed, and our dedicated aftercare team is always just a phone call away. When buying from a high street kitchen retailer, you could be compromising the warranty you get on your new kitchen, meaning if anything goes wrong in those first few months after installation, any fixes may not be covered under the warranty and will come out of your own pocket.
High street kitchens are often designed to fit the needs of mainstream demand, meaning they offer less innovative and unique solutions compared to more bespoke brands such as Prestons Kitchens. This can impact the long-term value of your home, and therefore your satisfaction with the investment. As a German kitchen supplier, we prioritise getting your kitchen right for you! Our design team will analyse the current space and look at each intricate detail on how you can optimise the area for your new kitchen. As experienced designers, we’re able to provide you with multiple options for you to choose from, each tailored to your unique needs and how you use your kitchen space, making buying a kitchen a lot less daunting of a process to go through! Head over to our Instagram to see some our excellent customer kitchens.
Whilst many high street kitchen retailers have very short turnaround times, and offer their solutions for a low price, you will be compromising the quality, durability and overall finish of your kitchen, meaning you may not be satisfied with your investment. Here at Prestons Kitchens, we provide German kitchen solutions, which are made with that German design and manufacture that we all know and love, for a lot less than you might think! If you’re looking to invest in the heart of your home, choose a kitchen that is built to look great and stand the test of time.
