How do Schroder Kitchens compare to other brands?
Schroder Kitchens are a German kitchen brand that mostly sell in the UK through small, independent showrooms. You may well be considering them, if you’re looking for a new kitchen, but just how good value are they?
To know that, you need to understand how Schroder Kitchens compare in price and quality with other options. These include big chains like Wren, Magnet and Howdens, as well as other brands supplied by independent showrooms.
How do Schroder Kitchens compare with the high-street chains and trade-only suppliers?
Before considering Schroder Kitchens, you might start your search for a new kitchen with one of the large high-street chains. Suppliers like Wren, Magnet and Wickes are not only well-known names, but there’s also likely to be a branch nearby.
If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, you could consider one of the big trade-only suppliers like Howdens or Benchmarx. You can’t access these directly, but you could hire a local builder who’d be able to use them.
Unfortunately, none of these outlets supply kitchens anywhere near as high quality as Schroder Kitchens. There are many reasons for this, but one extremely important reason is the standard of the door finish. Schroder Kitchens use laminate, lacquered laminate or lacquered doors that will last many years without peeling. The chains, on the other hand, usually use the wrapped type of doors, which will quickly start peeling.
Similarly, Schroder Kitchens build their kitchens from high-quality, high-density chipboard, unlike the low-quality, low-density materials used by the chains. You’ll notice the difference when they start feeling the weight of the worktops and appliances. The low-density chipboard will quickly start to bow, whereas a Schroder kitchen will hold up solidly for many years.
Of course, you’d expect to pay more for quality, and Schroder Kitchens certainly do cost more than the chains. On the other hand, this is only a short-term issue, since they’ll last two or three times as long.
How do Schroder Kitchens compare with other brands sold by independent kitchen showrooms?
Schroder Kitchens are only one of many kitchen brands sold in the UK by independent suppliers. There are numerous showrooms selling a large number of brands, and they vary substantially in both price and quality.
Many of these brands are similar quality to Schroder Kitchens, while others are lower quality. On the other hand, there are also brands that are even higher in quality.
In the same way, the prices for these brands cover a considerable range. Some are a good deal more expensive and others lower in cost, while many cost about the same as a Schroder Kitchen.
