Workhouse to home

Who would have thought the site of an old workhouse would now be a delightful place to live! Well, a new development of one and two bedroom luxury apartments in Hertfordshire has succeeded – helped by gorgeous kitchens produced by Kirolite.

The 11 bespoke, fully-fitted kitchens feature high-lacquer finish on cupboards topped with a seamless, Hi-Macs work surface. Taking the client’s brief and transforming it into stunning modern kitchens, the heart of a home.

The apartments (by developerHerts Builders Ltd) are contemporary, while retaining the individuality and exterior features of the original building.

The site has lots of historic interest, with the original listed building being a workhouse in the 1800s. It subsequently became a hospital before it’s conversion to offices in the 1990s.

Furniture and fittings for retail interiors

Point of sale displays, counters, storage units, reception areas, display units, shop fittings and more – natural wood and solid surface fabrication provides premium-quality products for retail interiors.

We use natural and man-made products, surfaces and veneers that are practical and hard-wearing even for high-volume retail trade. But they are also flexible enough to be made into any shape or design and come in an endless range of colours to match store and company brand values.

As we have our own fabrication facility, we efficiently and effectively handle the whole process, from conception, through design to installation – providing a service as seamless as the ones on our high-tech, solid surfaces.

Top table

We produced this gorgeous table top – among other items of furniture – for the interior refurbishment of a 55m superyacht in the south of France.

Featuring a granite inlay in the centre, book-matched veneer and solid wenge edges with inlaid stainless steel edge, the top will be mounted on a pedestal of stainless steel and leather.

Combining materials has a great effect to overall design, bringing a unique style to the yacht’s interior. Granite and Wenge was used throughout the boat to bring all pieces of furniture together.

Kitchen top with steel

Kirolite manufactured this kitchen top with seamless bend for offices at Elite Fabrication & Welding at Poole; it featured a smart stainless steel insert on the front edge and splashback – both made by Elite itself.

Elite installed the kitchen as part of a refurbishment to its new premises including offices, entrance and stairway.

The two Dorset companies have a long working relationship of producing high-end products for clients in a mix of stainless steel and wood or solid surfaces.

Furniture and fittings for commercial interiors

Furniture and fittings for commercial interiors in solid surface and wood... for offices, reception areas and boardrooms.

Solid surface fabrications really are the shape of things to come in the commercial sector, because they can be moulded into any shape, size and specification that you wish.

It all means that when it comes to bespoke furniture and fittings in the professional workplace – perhaps mixed beautifully with the warm tones of real wood – expediency and excellence can be paired together.

Dauntless deployed

Best wishes to the crew of HMS Dauntless as it sets sail for a five-month counter-piracy operation.

Kirolite last year fitted a new counter and fittings to the ship’s wardroom for officers – in solid surface and oak – through a contract with Oyster Yachts, which designed the improvements.

One of the Royal Navy's most advanced warships, it left its home at Portsmouth on January 1 for a routine deployment to the Gulf. The Type 45 destroyer will maintain a continuous presence in the region deterring piracy and keeping the sea lanes open for free and safe passage of merchant vessels.

During her time away Dauntless will make several stops in the Mediterranean for training as well as visiting ports in a number of Gulf States to strengthen ties in the region.
