Integrated Kitchen lighting is a big trend in kitchens. Although most of the applications kitchen manufacturers offer are strictly aesthetic (and we think the right kitchen lighting can make a great kitchen look even better), few kitchen manufacturers actually stop and think how they can make cabinets look better while at the same time, make cabinets light up so you can find things easier and quicker. At QTK we still see some competitors putting Xenon and Halogen bulbs in the their kitchens. With the wide availability of LED lights now (both in pucks and in strips) combined with the benefits of LED (better for the environment, never have to change bulbs), we find it surprising that ALL consumers aren’t DEMANDING LED lighting. Sure there is an added charge to going LED, but QTK can even calculate how long it will take to pay for the price difference in choosing LED’s (in energy savings). In most cases it’s between 8-12 months. Considering our kitchens last between 15 - 30 years you stand to save a lot of money in the long run. With that being said some kitchen manufacturers can’t be bothered to spend the time adding, changing or customizing lights your kitchen. QTK offers a variety of LED ONLY lighting options including Puck Lights, Strip Lights and a new integrated cabinet lighting system available ONLY at QTK. For almost 2 years QTK has been developing a completely revolutionary LED cabinet lighting system that you won’t find at any other kitchen manufacturer in NORTH AMERICA OR EUROPE (we know because no one at KBIS 2012 or Eurocucina 2012 has anything close to this level of lighting sophistication). By listening to customer comments and questions, combined with QTK’s in-house design expertise, precision engineering and flexible & custom manufacturing facility we are able to offer a completely unique and revolutionary system to completely light up each and every cabinet - it’s far beyond anything a simple puck light or strip light can offer - and it’s unlike ANYTHING you’ve ever seen or heard about until now. I can’t display any pictures because we want this to remain a QTK exclusive but if your in the market for a kitchen with integrated lighting come by our showroom and have a look at the FUTURE of integrated kitchen lighting. It’s environmental friendly (very low energy consumption), it’s looks FANTASTIC and it will last as long as your QTK Kitchen will.
While most kitchen companies offer 1, 2 or 3 interior cabinet colours for your kitchen, QTK doesn’t constrict your choices. At the end of the project it’s YOUR KITCHEN, why then do so many cabinet manufacturers tell YOU what your CABINETS should be made of. There are people who still enjoy a natural maple wood grain interior for their cabinets- which we can do - but that’s not all we offer. When customers are looking for something unique QTK has the answer. Last year (2011) alone QTK used over 90 colours for their cabinets. One customer asked for bright green cabinet interiors, and while other kitchen manufacturers tried to force their one standard option upon the customer, QTK built custom GREEN cabinets just like the customer requested (with Natural Rift Cut White Oak cabinet doors). Since QTK is always using the best & newest products, we’re expanding our already outrageous and limitless cabinet interiors and are now offering a CANADIAN PLYWOOD cabinet interior in 40 different colours - gone are the days when you had to have Natural Maple or Natural Birch (both are very yellow in colour) to get plywood interior. Imagine your off-white or deep brown kitchen doors and now when you open the door you can have colour matched interior cabinets. YOUR KITCHEN, YOUR TASTE. Inside & Out.
A customer recently asked us to make a hockey stick - but not just a regular hockey stick - this is a special stick for a team trying to win a hockey championship. The front features the Toronto Junior Canadiens Logo along with the writing ‘2011-2012 The Road to the Championship’. Also on the front there are cutouts for 12 pucks (the number of wins required to win the championship). The back features the team’s slogan ‘Forever Strong’ and the numbers of each player. The owner picked up the stick on Monday and was amazed at the detail and the final product. QTK completed all aspects of the stick’s work in house, from engineering, machining and painting. Let us know what you think.
At QTK we can make your kitchen look like it’s from 50 years in the past - or 50 years in the future - it’s your kitchen, your taste - your only limited by your imagination - everything is done in house - from high gloss to distressing & antiquing and everything in between
Servo Drive on Blum’s HF Aventos Double Flip up Door - now on display at the QTK Showroom. How cool is that? Automatic opening and closing of the cabinet doors by touching the cabinet OR remote control. Stop by our showroom to see it in person - it is sure to blow you away.
Check out the landscape construction progress outside the QTK studio - just in time for spring QTK is giving a new look to the outside of our building. The soon to be complete limestone and black granite walkway will surround planted areas and match the same modern feel as the building’s interior - let us know your thoughts. It was designed by Toronto architect Michael Amantea and the contractor is Coivic Contracting. I will post more shots as progress advances. Come by and see it - temporarily the front door is blocked so you’ll need to use the side entrance if your coming to visit.
Check out this use of space - keep your condo clutter free and looking stylish with custom cabinets & built ins from QTK. This customer came to QTK looking for a way to maximize storage space in their condo without sacrificing aesthetics. This is the result; let us know what you think.
