How do Alku Kitchens compare to other kitchen brands?
If you’re looking for a new kitchen, you may well have come across Alku Kitchens. Alku are sold by independent kitchen showrooms.
But how good value are Alku Kitchens, and how do they compare in price and quality to other kitchens you might consider? These include other brands sold by independent kitchen showrooms, as well as the kitchens places like Wren, Magnet, Howdens and Benchmarx sell.
How do Alku Kitchens compare to the high-street chains and trade-only suppliers?
For many people, the search for a new kitchen wouldn’t start with Alku Kitchens. The first port of call is likely to be one of the high-street chains, such as Wren or Magnet. There’s almost certain to be a branch near you, and their advertisements are constantly telling us how great they are.
Alternatively, you might go through a builder, who can access one of the large trade-only suppliers. Examples of these are Howdens, Benchmarx and Magnet Trade.
So how do these options compare in price and quality with Alku Kitchens? As far as quality is concerned, there’s no competition. An Alku kitchen is much higher-quality than anything from the chains or trade-only suppliers, and will last a lot longer. A kitchen from the chains or trade-only suppliers is likely to start looking worse for wear after just a few years. You can expect an Alku kitchen, on the other hand, to still be going strong twenty years on.
When it comes to price, you’d expect to have to pay more for this quality — and you’d be right. On the other hand, your Alku kitchen will pay for itself in the long run. By the time it needs replacing, you’d probably be on your third or fourth lower-quality kitchen from the chains or trade-only suppliers.
How do Alku Kitchens compare with other brands sold by independent suppliers?
