GOD BLESS THE CARCASS!

Poor old kitchen carcasses, they don't get any of the glamour or the glory, but they are truly the keystone for any kitchen. 

Ask yourself this: if you go to the trouble of having your new kitchen designed and installed - perhaps with expensive granite worktops, a gorgeous new sink and lots of super whizzy gadgets - but you've scrimped on cheap and nasty carcasses: what happens when those cheap and nasty carcasses fall apart?  Which they will.  The worktop, sink and gadets have all got to be taken out, so that you can do it properly next time.  Hmmm, sounds fun.

We don't mess about with cheap and nasty.  Even our Rapide+ budget kitchens range has 15mm carcasses as standard, that come with a 5 year warranty, so you will always have peace of mind.  Ordinarily however, IKD only deal with 18mm+ carcasses, simply because we believe your house will fall down before they will - they are seriously that strong and robust.

For those of you interested enough in kitchen carcasses, we thought you might like to have a look at our standard carcass specification.  Bespoke carcasses (i.e.: solid oak etc) are available, but the majority of kitchen refurbishments for family homes enjoy these benefits...
