• Broken Plan Kitchens Boost Light and Space

There’s a lot to be said for separate spaces, so in Britain we are seeing more open plan kitchens become broken plan kitchens. Internal partitions and external windows can help maximise light. 

External steel windows can be amalgamated into kitchen extensions as a replacement for exterior walls, says Perla Windows. This is a good way to bring light into the home and create the illusion of a larger room, blending the indoors with the outside. Steel windows come in a range of sizes allowing for the option of large glass panes spanning across the space of an external wall which will not obstruct the view of the garden.

To convert existing open plan areas to the new trend of broken plan kitchen design, and create separate spaces, the same W20 steel profiles can be used as internal partitions bringing through the external design aesthetics to the internal space.

This can be a small partition to separate an open pantry or utility room from the rest of the kitchen or a large partition can take the place of an interior non-weight bearing wall.

Steel partitions complement various interior schemes from mid-century modern designs to Scandi-styles with black steel windows reflecting a striking contrast to pale kitchen cabinets.

Steel Window Association

Perla, like other members of the Steel Window Association, offer a UK wide service for the repair and replacement of various types of old metal windows, doors and screens, as well as being able to manufacture new fenestration which fully meets building regulations.
