Bauformat kitchens are known for their exceptional craftsmanship and their lifelong quality. What sets Bauformat kitchens apart from other brands is their relentless commitment to innovation and sustainability. Eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies reflect a forward-thinking approach to kitchen design. With the rising demand for modern kitchens Sacramento now has EKB to guide you through this purchase.

Kitchen Design features

Bauformat Kitchens are known for their advanced customization options and cutting-edge technology, making them a top choice for modern homeowners. 

One of their standout features is the lift-and-hinge systems, offering effortless opening and closing mechanisms for overhead cabinets. These systems provide easy access to storage areas without the need for excessive reaching or bending. Box systems look like classic kitchen drawers, but are much more. Instead of buying additional storage organizers to maximize typical drawer space, Bauformat offers built-in, customizable storage solutions. Whether you want adjustable shelves or dividers inside, the box systems offer flexibility in arrangement.  A less-traditional kitchen design can be seen with their cabinetry. Bauformat utilizes organization systems and space towers to make optimal use of corners and vertical space. Custom pull-out trays and shelves allow you to access items inside immediately, reducing clutter and keeping the kitchen highly organized.

Although we mention modern kitchens a lot, this is not an accurate depiction of the range of styles our customers know us for. Minimalistic kitchens, like Paris, Sydney, and Strassburg, are characterized by clean lines, open spaces, and a focus on simplicity. The minimalistic approach creates a calm and airy atmosphere that embodies effortless living. In contrast, a more industrial kitchen can be seen with Bilbao and Glasgow. These units celebrate bold elements like exposed materials, dark hues, and metallic accents.

For those who lean towards more traditional kitchens, take a look at Girona and Torino, where classic, charming elements meet contemporary conveniences. The framed cabinetry and softer color palettes evoke a sense of timelessness and comfort. If you’re interested in custom kitchens Sacramento now has European Kitchens and Beyond, a local expert.

Kitchen handles

KITCHENS WITH HANDLES + KNOBS

Our kitchen handle selection spans from country-style handles to sleek, angular designs, catering to both traditional and modern aesthetics. The collection is enriched by a variety of materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, wood, and leather, allowing for a truly customized finish. The flexibility to position the handles anywhere ensures your Bauformat kitchen will carry a distinct personal flair. Grip ledges are available in finishes such as stainless steel or brass, along with numerous high-gloss and matte lacquer color options.

HANDLELESS KITCHENS

If you choose a no handle look, you are opting in for a kitchen design that emphasizes clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. By eliminating protruding handles, these modern kitchens create a smooth and continuous surface that makes the room appear more spacious and cohesive. Practical benefits include easier cleaning as there is no grime on handles over time.

These handleless kitchens use a push-to-open mechanism or a recessed channel system. The push-to-open system allows cabinet doors and drawers to be opened with a simple push, using a built-in spring mechanism that releases the latch. The recessed channel system involves a discreet groove along the edge of the cabinetry, providing a convenient grip for opening doors and drawers without the need for external handles.

Kitchen materials

With so many different kitchen styles and cabinet handle options, it makes sense that Bauformat has an equally diverse range of front finishes and materials. 

Form vs function is a personal preference and so is choosing a low or high maintenance kitchen front. Kitchens with Genuine Lacquer or Glass Laminate surfaces give off a luxurious finish, but require fairly regular cleaning to maintain their glossy appearance. In contrast, Melamine, Laminate and Thick Veneered fronts are more forgiving and flexible. Melamine is known for its strong resistance to elements and stains. Laminate is relatively easy to maintain. Thick-Veneer combines the beauty of wood with the durability of a robust veneer.  

Each Bauformat finish offers a different balance of aesthetics and maintenance, letting homeowners choose what best fits their kitchen design preferences and lifestyle needs.

Kitchen worktops + Countertops

Bauformat worktops are designed with a focus on durability, versatility, and style.

The traditional worktop is crafted to withstand the colorful demands of modern kitchens. Homeowners can choose from 3 standard thicknesses: 16mm, 25mm, and 39mm. These options cater to individual kitchen preferences, whether you’re looking for a thin, minimalist look or a more robust, substantial design that makes a statement. Bauformat caters to smaller spaces, as well, by offering a compact worktop: an ultra-thin alternative that is 12mm thick. Although incredibly slim, this surface is highly durable and ideal for modern kitchens with a space-saving priority. 

As for the bar or breakfast counter, Bauformat offers bar countertops with a substantial thickness of 90mm, delivering a bold and striking visual impact. Whether used as an island in open-concept spaces or as countertops for high-traffic areas, the 90mm options add a degree of refinement to any kitchen. Together, the variety of thicknesses across working surfaces ensures that Bauformat kitchens can be tailored to meet both design preferences and practical demands.

WORKTOP EDGING

The modern design, featuring a sharply defined edge radius, is the result of decades of innovation in perfecting the classic rounded worktop. With a seamless, hard-wearing laminate finish that extends from the surface and front edge radius to the underside, these worktops offer both durability and style. A thin, front edge provides exceptional impact resistance while maintaining a clean, smooth appearance. At the core of this design is a Eurospan raw chipboard, chosen for its strength and stability, ensuring a refined and long-lasting work surface.

Your kitchen’s design is as unique as the demands you place on it. To accommodate any layout, Bauformat worktops feature waterproof-bonded decorative edges with a PP edge (Polypropylene). Polypropylene is known for its ecological, heat, and chemical resistant properties. Edge finishes come in stainless steel or brass, complementing other design elements your modern kitchen has.

Design is all about the fine details. The edges of your worktop play a key role in the overall look of your modern kitchen. If you prefer clean lines and sharp angles, straight edges are an excellent choice for creating that aesthetic. If you lean toward a softer design, opt for rounded corners that provide smooth transitions between surfaces and create a more relaxed, welcoming feel. Your edge style cleverly impacts the details and character of your kitchen.

Kitchen lighting

“ALEXA, TURN THE LIGHT ON.”

Lighting can make or break even the BEST kitchens on the market. Placement of lights is one thing, but it’s the contemporary LED lighting system that sets Bauformat kitchens apart from all others. This technology adjusts the intensity and color of the light. With a simple adjustment, you can switch from bright, task-oriented lighting to a more inviting, relaxed atmosphere. Energy efficiency is equally a priority with kitchens offering long-lasting illumination while using minimal energy. This combination of smart design, flexibility, and modern technology makes Bauformat’s lighting systems a key feature in creating dynamic and functional cooking spaces.

Contemporary LED systems tailor lighting to any mood, activity, or situation. For a pleasant and soothing environment, warm white light (2,700-3,300 kelvins) creates a welcoming ambiance. For meal prep and everyday activities, neutral white light (3,300-5,300 kelvins) strikes the perfect cord. For high-focus activities, opt for cool white light (+ 5,300 kelvins).

Melamine Front

The melamine front has a scratch-proof and highly durable surface, recommended, say, for heavy duty family kitchens. And as durable as it can get, there are no hard feelings. Fingerprints are hard to find. Highly resistant to abrasion, a melamine front is liquid-repellent too. Even after years of exposure to sunlight, the frontage color finishes keep their radiance. Extremely versatile, you’ll find a wide choice of melamine fronts even at entry-level prices.

Bauformat Baku 235 Quartz grey

Aesthetic appeal: The melamine front is available in a huge range of colors and decor finishes. Coming with a finely textured surface, it leaves no margin of doubt as a timber reproduction with extremely authentic character. Shining melamine surfaces captivate with a particularly high level of gloss and depth of brilliance. Even metallic effects can be produced with melamine.

UV-LACQUERED FRONT

The lacquered surface of UV-lacquered fronts is extremely tough and hard-wearing. This can be a key benefit in family homes with kitchens that are in use every day of the week. The front’s resiliance is the result of a meticulous manufacturing process: the front of a wood-based material receives several coats of UV lacquer and, after each lacquer coating, cured in a matter of seconds with special, high-energy UV light. This radiation curing process produces particularly hard, easy-to-clean surfaces. Thick laminate edging on all sides is guaranteed to protect even the narrow edges from damage. UV lacquered fronts provide a surprising number of benefits even at entry-level price level.

Aesthetic appeal: Whether high-gloss or silky matt – UV lacquered fronts impress with aesthetic versatility. You can choose whatever you like: our line-up features an attractive selection of UV-lacquered fronts in classic and on-trend color finishes. The all-round thick laminate edging can be selected in front color or in any accent tone.

UV-Lacquered Front

LAMINATE FRONT

At first sight, the laminate front looks like the melamine front. An untrained eye will hardly tell the difference. Compared to the directly faced melamine front, however, the surface of the laminate front is multi-layered in structure. This comes with a raft of advantages: laminate, for instance, is harder and extremely durable. This also makes it a popular choice for heavily used worktops. Laminate fronts are very hygienic, easy to clean, not affected by moisture and can withstand even heavy everyday wear and tear for years on end.

Aesthetic appeal: Laminate fronts come in a wide range of colors and decor finishes. This material is highly recommended for anyone wanting a seamless look or preferring rounded edges. Because the options that are available open up unmatched creative scope, particularly in combination with laminate.

Laminate Front

GENUINE LACQUERED FRONT

Lacquered front surfaces provide a seal that’s completely impervious, comparable with automotive paint finishes in terms of surface hardness and scratch resistance. In the course of the intricate work process, the substrate material is coated with a special 2-component lacquer and then sanded and polished to obtain the chosen surface finish. As one of the very few kitchen furniture manufacturers, we also seal the back of our lacquered fronts with a lacquer which makes them even more durable and hard-wearing. The easy-to-clean, classy-looking fronts justify the higher purchase price.

bauformat-Strassburg-530FG304

Aesthetic appeal: Whether in restrained matt lacquer or glamorous high-gloss lacquer – genuine lacquered fronts captivate with expression, aesthetic appeal and a wide variety of colours. Exquisite in visual impact, they reflect the exacting demands and homely nature of outstanding interior design.

Featured in the following Bauformat collections:
Porto, Rhodos, Torino, Girona, Saint Tropez, Potsdam, Salzburg, Strassburg

GENUINE-LACQUER-FRONT

GLASS LAMINATE FRONT

Our matt glass laminate fronts are almost identical to frosted real glass. The smart, innovative material has many advantages in terms of stability and functionality. It is ten times more resistant to breaking than real glass and 50 percent lighter. The surfaces appeal for their high resistance to scratching in everyday life. They are easy to clean, so they comply with the highest hygiene standards – not least thanks to the special antibacterial coating.

bauformat Glasgow 574

Aesthetic appeal: Glass effects have long been established in contemporary interior design because of their elegant looks and excellent properties. They create exciting effects in a clever interplay with light, for instance linear LED bands in handless designs. The velvety-soft feel of this front is typical. An anti-fingerprint effect ensures that less care is required.

Glass Laminate Front

LACQUERED GENUINE TIMBER FRONT

When the classy, natural look and finely textured wood feel is combined with your personal choice of colour and extreme ease of care, that’s when a lacquered, genuine wood front enters the scene. The frame around every door is made of solid wood, making the whole construction particularly sturdy. The infill is veneered in real wood. This has the advantage of making the doors lighter in weight and more durable. Kitchens designed in this way are also less expensive than kitchens made entirely of solid wood. In a final step, the real wood fronts are coated with a protective lacquer that makes the surfaces hard-wearing. As lacquered fronts don’t have any bonded edges, there’s no need to clean glued joints as is necessary with laminated kitchen fronts. Completely sealed coats of lacquer are relatively easy to look after and keep clean. The high-quality lacquered finish make the hard-wearing material resistant to scratches and abrasion.

Bauformat Cambridge 550FG256

Aesthetic appeal: Kitchens and adjoining areas for dining, living and relaxing in can be planned with lacquered real wood fronts to create a look that couldn’t be more consistent. This design option is particularly popular for the newly interpreted, modern country style. A wide choice of lacquer colors opens up tremendous scope for creative ideas.

Lacquered Genuine Timber Front

THICK VENEERED FRONT

Nature at its best – no two TreeTime fronts are alike. This gives them a truly individual look. The contemporary real wood fronts are defined by a particularly thick veneer. All superbly crafted, there’s a choice of various front finishes in colour nuances ranging from Beechwood to Smoke. A special surface finish, such as a sandblasted one, gives some of them unique expression and a particularly distinctive feel. Each of the real wood options captivates with authentic character and a unique profile. An unobtrusive lacquer seal protects the natural beauty of the wood surface from moisture, dirt and wear. Because they are resilient, durable and hard-wearing, the initial cost of these fronts pays for itself in just a few years.

bauformat Kalmar 642FG314

Aesthetic appeal: When kitchen and living space melt into one, TreeTime thick veneer fronts makes the perfect choice. Whether with or without graining, all but smooth or with a clearly perceptible texture from brushing or sandblasting for example – the naturally grown timber is and remains a classic among the materials used in kitchen and furniture construction.

Thick Veneered Front

STONE VENEER FRONT

Stone is a material that has always fascinated people. It is only in recent years that this piece of good, honest nature has been used in making exclusive kitchens. The use of this relatively heavy material is made possible by clever process of adeptly combining a panel made of certified engineered wood with a layer of real stone. No two fronts are exactly the same – each of them unique from the depths of our planet. The surface is finished with an unobtrusive coat of protective lacquer. In everyday kitchen use, genuine stone is extremely hard-wearing and very easy to maintain. Anyone looking for something truly special can use genuine stone fronts to create a prestigious-looking furnishing solution that’s full of character.

bauformat Bilbao 556FG272

Aesthetic appeal: This look & feel is unique: the layer of real stone on this furniture front enriches every ambience with its exceptional look. The material’s fine, relief-like texture and natural power of expression conjure delightful aesthetic appeal. The prestigious-looking front is particularly effective in high-profile interior design concepts with open floor plans – such as in handleless island solutions or built-in tall units and sideboards.
