How has this change impacted your manufacturing process?

It’s revolutionised our operations. Typically, we would rely on outsourced fabricators to manufacture the benchtops and splashbacks, however with Acralux I am able to use my existing joinery equipment and fabricate in our factory.

This gives me about a 2-week production time advantage and often further time savings as we can template on site at the same time the kitchen is installed, this saves further time and allows us to meet tighter deadlines and have a happy client sooner.

Could you talk about the cost benefits you have experienced?

Acralux has been a bit of a game changer financially. The large format sheet sizes of 3200mm x 1600mm x 20mm means there is minimal wastage and full optimisation of the slab which is great when offering the typical new home Kitchen Island &  Hobb benchtop configurations and other commercial applications where size matters. Often with other slab sizes we would need to cut into a second sheet but now we can achieve the same outcome by fully utilising the large format sizes.

And of course the fact we can now manufacture the entire kitchen including the benchtop and splashbacks, means there are obvious time and cost savings which can be passed on directly to the client without compromising the quality which is paramount.

Any final thoughts?

I’d like to emphasize that we are more than just a traditional joinery company and whether you have a large-scale development or a small kitchen fit-out just give us a call and we will be glad to further discuss the benefits of using Acralux surfaces for your next project. All the best.
