FAQs on German Handleless Kitchens

Handleless Kitchens have become very popular in recent years. Many of the kitchens on display in DIY stores will be handleless kitchens, although these are different from ‘true handleless’ kitchens. Handleless kitchens have a J grip groove at the top of the door, which can be hard to use if you have long fingernails or limited finger mobility. Having this groove at the top of each door doesn’t create the sleek, clean lines of a true handleless kitchen.

A true handleless kitchen is different to the handleless kitchen you will find in your local DIY store. The German Kitchen Store only supplies true handleless kitchens. The channel is attached to the carcase, not the door. The door can be opened from the side or top. This results in a sleek design that allows an uninterrupted flow of your kitchen, which is both practical and pleasing to the eye. A true handleless kitchen is sophisticated and makes a real impact whilst providing an easier grip to open doors, a safer option for families with small children and a more hygenic option to a kitchen with handles.

German kitchens are renowned for exceptional levels of craftsmanship and innovative design techniques. The precision of German design delivers ergonomic kitchens that maximise on space and practicality whilst creating a sleek and sophisticated on-trend look.

Many people think German kitchens are expensive because they are so highly regarded, but this is not the case. At the German Kitchen Store you will find the highest quality German kitchens at amazingly low prices.
