Diy-kitchens vs Virtu kitchens

Camster

I'm planning to get a new kitchen installed and have found a couple of local companies that can supply either diy-kitchens or Virtu kitchens.

I've read a lot of positive comments on the quality / price of diy-kitchens ranges, but very little on Virtu kitchens.

Does anyone have any knowledge on the Virtu kitchen range and how they compare to diy-kitchens?

No experience of Virtu, but I used DIY kitchens ~18 months ago, and have no complaints.
Good quality gear at a reasonable price.

Put in my DIY-Kitchen 10 years ago and still as good as new but I have solid wood doors. Web site says cabinets have 25 year guarantee but I don't think I will need it! I can find the guarantee for Virtul - 5 years.

I was also going to go for units with solid timber doors. I can only find one local installer that does diy-kitchens, and a couple that do Virtu kitchens.

I'm swayed towards diy-kitchens, but it would be good to know as a backup if Virtu kitchens are of a similar quality.

I've had two kitchens from DIY Kitchens and I'd buy another one if I moved again. Really good. The fitters seemed to like them as well.

I can only find doors with wood frames and veneer centre at DIY-Kitchens but you could give them a ring. When I ordered they supplied Second Nature door but I had to drill them with a jig hired from DIY-Kitchens. I believe DIY-Kitchen now supply the doors attached to the assembled units so this could be a great time saver.
If you want solid wood doors you could buy the doors separately at suppliers like Lark and Larks.

I'm fine with wood frames and veneered centre panels.
