ACCESSIBLE KITCHENS
Intelligent appliance lifts, concealed power, pull-out surfaces, mobile storage and foldaway furniture designed to make the kitchen easier to use without adding permanent clutter.
Two standout kitchen upgrades
UNILIFT stores frequently used appliances inside a cabinet and brings them into position electrically. EVOline integrates power and charging into the furniture so it remains convenient without dominating the work surface.
Granberg UNILIFT HA10 Comfort
Store an air fryer, mixer, coffee machine or food processor inside a cabinet, then raise it electrically onto a stable working platform. The appliance can remain on the shelf during movement, reducing repeated lifting and freeing the main worktop.
EVOline
Integrate sockets, USB charging and selected wireless-charging products into worktops, furniture and wall panels. Compact and concealed formats provide convenient appliance power while preserving a clean, considered kitchen design.
Small additions can change the whole room
Accessible design is not only about the height of a worktop or the position of a sink. Everyday usability can also depend on where an appliance is stored, whether a socket can be reached and how easily extra workspace or seating can be created.
The most useful accessories respond to a real task and disappear when that task is complete. A table can extend from a cabinet, an ironing board can fold into a drawer and a seat can return against the wall to restore circulation space.
This makes the range equally relevant to accessible kitchens, smaller homes, multi-user households, utility rooms, workplaces and projects where every part of the room must work efficiently.
A practical selection principle
An appliance, power socket, work surface, storage unit or seat.
The worktop, floor, knee space, cabinet opening or circulation route.
Frequent tasks need particularly simple controls and movement.
Plan the folded, retracted or stored position as carefully as the working position.
Start here
Choose the task you need to improve, then compare the product dimensions, movement, mounting method, capacity and space required when the accessory is open or in use.
An electric platform that raises kitchen appliances from cabinet storage to a convenient working position.
Discreet sockets, USB charging and wireless-charging products for worktops, furniture and wall-mounted installations.
Extend a temporary table or work surface from a base unit, then return it to the cabinet when the task is complete.
Mobile drawer or waste-sorting cabinets that can sit beneath adjustable worktops and move aside when knee space is required.
Wall-mounted and drawer-integrated ironing boards that create an open working position without conventional folding legs.
Fixed-height and manually adjustable wall seats for dry areas where occasional seating is useful but floor space is limited.
Moving and folding products
The open position is only part of the specification. Check what the product passes, clears and supports throughout its entire movement.
Confirm internal width, depth, door clearance and the space required for motors, runners or folding mechanisms.
Check the product against neighbouring doors, handles, appliances, worktops and circulation routes.
Include the appliance, stored objects or user weight when checking the stated capacity.
Position operating buttons, grips and releases where the intended user can reach them comfortably.
Concealed power and charging
Cut-outs, installation depth and cable routes affect the worktop or furniture into which an EVOline product will be installed.
Confirm the exact aperture and furniture thickness required for the selected socket or charging unit.
Ensure drawers, cabinet components and the worktop structure remain clear beneath the unit.
Plan a protected path to the electrical connection without trapping or sharply bending the cable.
Keep the electrical product appropriately separated from sinks, heat sources and moving kitchen mechanisms.
Choose by everyday problem
Begin with the task that currently requires excessive lifting, reaching, bending or permanent use of valuable space.
Bring a stored appliance to a comfortable working position without repeatedly lifting it onto and off the worktop.
Introduce accessible power and charging closer to where small appliances and devices are actually used.
Create temporary preparation or dining space without permanently narrowing the room.
Add drawers or waste sorting beneath an adjustable worktop while retaining the option to move the cabinet away.
Provide a supportive resting point that folds against the wall when circulation space takes priority.
Store the board within a wall or cabinet and avoid the legs of a conventional freestanding board.
Before ordering
Accessories are often compact, but they still affect cabinetry, structure, services, circulation and the way people approach the surrounding kitchen.
Identify who will use the product, from which position and for which recurring kitchen activity.
Check the closed, open and moving dimensions rather than relying only on the cabinet width.
Confirm that the cabinet, wall or worktop construction can support the product and its full intended load.
Plan electrical supplies, plugs and cable routes before the furniture or worktop is manufactured.
Make sure the user can approach and operate the accessory without another cabinet, handle or appliance blocking access.
Confirm that the door, drawer or folded product can close fully after use without trapping cables or stored objects.
Check current product information: capacities, cabinet requirements, cut-outs, installation depths and supplied components vary between models. Confirm the full specification before modifying furniture, drilling a worktop or arranging electrical work.
