New technologies with regards to kitchen fittings

For Newmatic, we have seen many advancements in the Kitchen area, especially in as far as fittings and appliances is concerned. There was a time when a new kitchen design was a pretty hit and miss affair. We would look in the local showroom and try to picture how a particular style of cabinet or a flooring color would look in our own home and then make our decision from that standpoint.

However, fortunately kitchen design has moved into the 21st century and there is no longer the need to use our imaginations when it comes to creating our dream kitchen. Technology can now bring a design to life and its influence in helping to design our homes is only going to grow.

As technology advances, the kitchen is developing and adapting to become more and more efficient and intelligent. Wi-Fi connected smart appliances and devices mean that we’re able to spend much less time and effort in the kitchen as technology does all our dirty work for us. We are now able to control our kitchens from anywhere in the world… or just from our couches.

Ovens and Hobs

Ovens are becoming more and more efficient, saving you time and energy and cooking your food faster and better. Additionally, increasing automation takes all of the guess-work and risk out of cooking as ovens and hobs are becoming able to calculate how long, and at what temperature, food should cook for.

Inductions Hobs

While not exactly new to the scene, induction hobs are becoming more and more widespread as people realize how good they really are. Made up of magnets designed to exclusively heat the pot or pan, the actual hob remains completely cool to the touch throughout the process.

Able to change the temperature as quickly as gas, they are extremely responsive, energy efficient, and much safer than electricity or gas hobs – perfect for when you have children in the house. As well as being more efficient, they are also sleek and modern, easy to clean and perfectly suited to a more minimalist kitchen, and Newmatic is happy to provide this to the market.

Refrigerator technology has also developed rapidly to keep food fresher for longer at the exactly ideal temperature and humidity. Some smart fridges are now even able to tell you when your food will expire and what groceries you’re running short on!

We will also mention, of course, the most important equipment in your kitchen, and that’s a range hood to purify the air in the kitchen. These have come because of technological advancement. Equipment such as a dishwasher, microwave, washing machines, fridges and other kitchen appliances are becoming more and more advanced the more reason we have to consider new technology each day. That is the clarion call at Newmatic. We keep advancing every single day with the change of technology.

Africa’s response to the different new technologies

Africa is one of the most adaptive continents when it comes to embracing technological changes. The reason why Newmatic came to Kenya was owing to the amazing responses we found while conducting feasibility on our products’ viability in the African market.

We haven’t been disappointed, because Africa is at the forefront in adapting to changing technology very first, and the consumers are keen on very trendy and stylish products that embody the latest technological developments.

We believe Africa is growing faster than most economies of the world because of its consumption of new technology, and because most of the technology still has great potential for absorption. With the positive approach from different African markets especially where technology is concerned, we are assured that the marketplace in Africa will soon become a beacon of technological success.

Factors to consider when selecting kitchen fittings for a modern house

Buying a kitchen appliance can be a difficult task in today’s world with a large number of options and varieties available in the market. Here is a checklist of some of the important points that one needs to consider before venturing out for any kitchen equipment purchase for a modern house.

Selecting the right size: Selecting the right size for the kitchen equipment in accordance with your kitchen space is one of the most significant factors when it comes to choosing the right product. Having a smaller size product may be as frustrating as having a bigger product. Most kitchen equipments come in various shapes and sizes and it is highly essential to foresee how any particular product would match in the kitchen space. A nuclear family for example must not go in for a large twin door refrigerator even if it is available at a lucrative discount. Knowing your individual needs is quite essential to determine the exact size of any product for the kitchen space.

Functionality: Selecting any equipment having the right functionality is also an important point to consider when shopping for kitchen appliances. There are a lot of useful functions being added to kitchen equipment by various manufacturers. Selecting a product on discounted prices without a useful functionally could be a wrong decision in the long term.

Any functionality that is likely to lessen the work load must be considered as an investment for the future rather than finalizing the product on the price factor alone.

Color Coordination: Any new purchase of kitchen equipment must be made in accordance with the overall theme of the kitchen and its design. Intelligently selected equipment that goes with the theme provides the twin benefits of enhancing the visual appeal while offering its services for the effective use of its respective functionality. Color combination is as essential as the kitchen theme as different colors active different emotions and energies in a house. Kitchen space being one of the most important places in a house is recommended to be alive and happy with positive striking colors rather than dull shades of grey or black. The right color on the kitchen appliances is also bound to increase or decrease the positive energy in the overall kitchen ambiance.

Your budget and affordability: Selecting the kitchen equipment within one’s budget is quite an essential part of any equipment purchase. With many models and diverse functionality of various equipment in the market today, it is very easy for buyers to go overboard. Remember any equipment purchase must be based on the individual need and usefulness and not on added style and functions. Keeping a budgeted approach helps in focusing only on the right range of products that can bring value to one’s kitchen.

Warranty and After Sales: Comparing after sales service and warranties being offered by various shortlisted products is recommended to choose the right product for your respective needs. Any company with a service center closer to your home can offer much swifter service and repair compared to the others. After sales service of the manufacturer and the store must be carefully evaluated before deciding on the final product.
