Miele Aura Island Rangehood

An extraordinary showpiece with the illusion of floating in defiance of gravity, the DA 7000 D Aura Island Rangehood combines sleek, stylish elliptical design with the ultimate in recirculation technology.

Simple to install, this style of rangehood is ideal for low energy houses and apartments where ducting is difficult due to layout and ventilation.

Without the need for a chimney, the DA 7000 D is suspended by four virtually invisible steel wires and appears to hover above the hob for an unobstructed view and communication across the cooking island.

To ensure the effective absorption of unpleasant odours, the DA 7000 D features highly efficient NoSmell active charcoal filters, a powerful fan and a 10 layer stainless steel filtration system. Also with easy-to-use electronic sensor controls, and an active charcoal filter change indicator, the DA 7000 D guarantees optimum performance and convenience.

Stormtech Linear shower drains

As the pioneers in linear drainage for bathrooms and showers, the original Stormtech grate was the architectural wedge-wire. Two other type of stainless steel grates have been introduced since then: the circular hole punched version (PH series) and the slot perforated version (PS series). New to the market are 3 additional lengths for the PH and PS grates. In addition to the standard 1200mm length, they are now also available in 900mm, 1000mm and 1500mm lengths. These additional sizes will suit most common size requirements for installations and therefore reduce the number of grates used by avoiding grate cut downs.
