How to find the best value kitchen manufacturers
To find the best deal on a new kitchen, you first need to identify who are the best value kitchen manufacturers.
However, unfortunately, that’s easier said than done, though, since the best value isn’t always what it seems to be. Here are a few tips.
The best value kitchen manufacturers aren’t always the cheapest
You may have heard the old saying “Buy cheap, buy twice” and it certainly applies to kitchens. Generally speaking, the cheapest kitchen manufacturers aren’t usually the best value. A cheap kitchen will usually wear out quickly and need replacing within a short time. The best value kitchen is the least-expensive kitchen that’s built to last.
This means steering clear of the large chains and trade only suppliers. The quality you’ll find there is very low, and the kitchens aren’t even that cheap. Oh, & that 50%-off sale the chains use, That’s just the old trick of doubling the prices, and then offering the units at half price. This is done to mislead people into thinking they’re getting a bargain.
You’ll find the best kitchen manufacturers at independent showrooms
Independent kitchen showrooms are the places to find great-value kitchen manufacturers. Some independent kitchen showrooms sell kitchens that cost similar to the chains and trade only suppliers, but are higher quality. This means their kitchens will last a lot longer.
The difference is in the details. These units will be constructed from high-quality, high density chipboard. High density chipboard will support the weight of the heaviest worktops & will never bow. In contrast, the chains and trade only suppliers tend to use cheaper, low density chipboard. The problem with low density chipboard is it will soon start to bow under the weight of the worktops. The first signs of bowing is usually seen on the backs of the units. Once the backs start to bow, it isn’t usually long before they come away completely, exposing the wall & any pipework behind.
Also, the doors will be the high quality lacquered or acrylic type that will never peel. In contrast, most of the doors the chains and trade only suppliers sell are the low quality wrapped type. The problem with wrapped doors is they peel.

How to find the best quotes for kitchen manufacturers
In theory, it should be easy to find good value independent kitchen showrooms. However, this is easier said than done. Their are lots of independent kitchen showrooms and the brands they offer all vary in terms of price and quality. Plus, even if you are able to identify which brands are the best value, the prices showrooms quote for each specific brand will vary.
Therefore, it’s an almost impossible task to identify which brands are the best value and which showrooms are the cheapest for that particular brand.
