Handleless kitchen similar to Wickes Intelliga range

Hi all,

Not sure if this the right forum for such a question.

Wicke's Intelliga range looks and feels very premium in the showroom. It's not for sale until September but I'm told its very expensive. Does anyone know of an alternative? We like the raised worktop so that we can have a normal square worktop edge. We also like the push to open drawers. The fact the worktop is raised also means I can add worktop strip lights if I'm clever with the planning. (strip lights need a resess in the worktop which I guess is a custom stonemason job for quartz?)

When trying out J style doors we only think they work with shark nose worktop edges as the sharp edges dig into the tops of your fingers when opening cupboards.

We intend to go with a marble effect quartz. Something like Silestone Eternal Calacatta classic.

Anyway, all thoughts welcome!

Thanks

  • When I got my builder to put in new cupboards , we agreed on howdens. The cupboards and drawers have no handles . They are not push drawers and doors , but look and feel great . Worth a look.
