Advantages of granite
Properly balanced proportions of sand to resin (80 to 20 %) complemented by relevant components and subjected to a careful processing, allow to obtain a material with exceptional resistance and visual properties.
This permits to cover granite models by 10-years warranty period*.
(*for details please refer to Warranty Card)There is a reason why products made of granite are popular in sanitary rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Their surface shows numerous resistance characteristics which are of particular importance in the above rooms due to a specificity of activities performed there.
Components for preparation of granite mix are supplied by renowned manufacturers having a long-year experience on international markets, and are formed in accordance with strict guidelines defined by Kuchinox.
The base for granite mix is crystalline quartz of light-grey colour. Other ingredients are as follows, binder ensuring chemical resistance and stability in UV radiation, and organic and inorganicpigments. It is essential to obtain the right consistence of the mix.
Adequate elasticity of granite mix depends on composition and quality of resin. Products manufactured at Kuchinox Poland factory are based on resin developed in the tiniest details by three institutions cooperating with each other. Its viscosity – balanced and harmonized for cast production – provides possibility of production of original sink or washbasin models according to guidelines and ideas of investors.
The factory in Buk, with use of top-quality components, ensures high colour stability, possibility of selection of any colour and finishing method (e.g. metallic).
Own factory is not only a great production privilege, but also a commitment to users of our products. We are constantly looking for new solutions, and a good example of this is a model of sink combined with a worktop which we created for the needs of one of investments where we supplied our products. At the same time we conduct works which will allow to introduce further product range groups to production.
Polish product
Establishment of own production facility is a result not only of our business activities. With the accomplishment on the territory of Poland we have invested our capital in domestic economy and created work places for local communities.
Apart from that – and this was our top priority – we wanted to give our Customers a possibility to buy 100% Polish products. Thus the process of creation of our granite sinks takes place completely in our country. They are designed by Maria Kubiak – Production Process Manager, manufactured and packaged at the factory in Buk, and covered by nation-wide service at customer’s location. For the convenience of our individual customers we also provide for chain of service at customer’s location points, which offer support after the warranty has expired.
Despite dynamic development of the factory and constant investing in innovations we never forget how product safety is important.
Each collection, before marketing, must obtain relevant certificates and meet required standards.
Apart from the warranty, products exiting Kuchinox production lines are given:
Product compliance with standards: EN 13310:2003
Kitchen sinks – Functional requirements and test methods
Attestation:
Certificate of Health Quality of the National Institute of Public Health.
