Customer Directory Update Service

KBB design addresses all aspects of the installation and design of

Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms.

All too often one hears either party complaining about the other because the installers messed up the design and designers do not take into account the "impracticality" of design and installation

KBB design bridges the gap between these two essential disciplines.  

Profile

Each issue will look at a skeleton outline with dimensions of a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and discuss the best method of;

• Utilisation
• Installation codes of practice
• Fitting the room
• Products
• Best use and application of products

We will look at luxury units medium and small, basement and loft, standard and wild installation. Residential, commercial and industrial kitchens, bathrooms and washrooms will be covered.

Designers and installers will be invited to submit their own ideas.

Our focus will also be on the training of installers (contractors) and we will work closely with the Institute of Plumbing, Kitchen Specialists Association, LP Gas Association and the Networking Association.

Distribution

We will be 3 000 copies sent to established contractors, designers, architects, property owners and local authorities.

Our involvement in Plumbing/ sanitaryware, airconditioning ventilation and LP Gas places us in a close position to the industries.

The influence of specifiers, designers and contractors on customers is often underestimated as customers rely heavily on the opinion of people in the industry for advice. If they know about you, they refer.If they don't know you they can not refer.

KBB design will be published as an A4 magazine and carry a response generating form on both editorial and advertising.
