Why choose a Santos kitchen?

At Santos we develop and manufacture high-quality, resistant, ergonomic and functional kitchen furniture, with careful interior and exterior design. Our main objective is to satisfy the work, storage and organization needs of users, creating solutions that offer maximum performance in the minimum space. Below we invite you to know the main reasons to trust us.

Kitchen designs adapted to new lifestyles

Better use of space

The average surface area of homes is progressively reducing, but the needs for available space in the kitchen increase, whether for storage, cooking, receiving guests, etc. We have found that offering additional use of space is never excessive. Our experience and active approach in this aspect allows us to offer unique solutions, trying to obtain the maximum usable net volume per total available space. We act in the three directions - depth, height and width - and at the same time, in the possibility of stratifying the spaces and segmenting the supports into different heights, levels and separations.

In the height direction, the base drawer—with the capacity of a drawer—allows up to four storage levels in each module. All usable height and depth under the countertop is transformed into highly accessible volume. Even beneath the sink module there is a drawer of sufficient height – starting at twenty-four centimeters – to store pots or packages of food.

The drawers on full extraction guides, with load capacities of up to seventy kilos, are located in the most ergonomic area for the user, and contain the elements that must be used most frequently.

The vertical wall immediately adjacent to the work surface has a range of utilities such as a toilet roll holder, spice rack, container for wooden cutlery, aromatic herbs, knife holder, etc., which allow us to have what we need for preparation and cooking. In sight and within reach.

Using tall cabinets and stackable columns adjustable to the height of the room, we can create true functional walls, which also offer an aesthetic appearance. The tall cabinets integrate storage spaces and appliances, adapting to each case through different heights and multiple interior distribution options: refrigerator modules, oven holders, supply holders, cleaning tool holders, blind modules, etc.

Responses to the needs of each user

A better use of space also implies offering responses to the obvious and latent needs of potential users whose demands are increasingly unique and individual.

The cutlery drawers have a modular base on which various utilities can be integrated: separations for cutlery, knife holder, spice holder, tray for cutting bread, cutting boards, space to place up to three service trays. The list could be completed with a roll holder for aluminum foil, plastic wrap and baking paper, infusions or coffee capsules, tablecloths, cloths and the most varied kitchen utensils.

The drawers on full extraction guides, with load capacities of up to seventy kilos, are located in the most ergonomic area for the user, and contain the elements that must be used most frequently.

In the drawers you can store dishes properly organized, as well as pots, bowls, pans, etc. Wooden boxes are very useful for conveniently segmenting the interior of these large drawers, and keeping bottles of oil, vinegar, drinks, etc. organized. If we like order, they will be our best allies.

Quality, reliability and guarantee

The equipment used in the kitchen is usually subjected to intensive use, unlike other rooms in the home. Therefore, an important decision factor is quality, which as a manufacturer we understand in two ways.

The first, referring to the materials and construction systems, allows the user to enjoy daily benefits such as smooth rolling, cushioning in closing, load capacity, good fit between the different parts of the furniture, etc. The union between surface and edge is one of the points to take into account, since a good seal is essential to achieve resistance to humidity and heat. The imperceptible transition between surface and edge is the best witness of the quality of the furniture's finish. To address the risk of humidity in washing, cold, wet dishes, etc. areas. We use the best possible material for the construction of these cabinets: plywood made with water-resistant adhesives.

The second aspect of quality is reliability over time. All the materials we use exceed requirements and tests that we carry out in our own quality laboratory. Parameters such as the number of opening and closing cycles in all moving parts, corrosion resistance of metal parts, load resistance on shelves, slides, hinges, tensile strength and many other indicators are measured. We carry out continuous monitoring, from the development phase to the production phase, to ensure that the final product meets the strictest quality standards. This allows us to offer a 5-year warranty on our kitchens.
