Keller Unveils Affordable, Bio-Based Contract Kitchen Range - A First In The Industry

Keller Kitchens, long recognised as an industry leader in kitchen sustainability, is taking a bold leap forward. In early 2026, the Dutch kitchen specialist is set to launch an entirely new range that combines carbon-neutral manufacturing with biobased materials and affordability; a first in the industry.

enduura® elba is a truly sustainable kitchen solution. This innovative range will debut in four on-trend colours, carefully curated to meet the evolving demands of today’s design-conscious market. All wood materials are sourced from sustainably managed European forests, fully compliant with the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), ensuring responsible harvesting practices that support biodiversity and ecological balance. enduura® elba is not only sustainable; it’s circular. Designed with the future in mind, every element is suitable for repurposing. One standout feature is Keller’s exclusive biobased binder, derived from natural by-products, which enables the production of kitchens with zero material waste.

The outer surfaces not only look stunning; they are crafted using cutting-edge technology, new to the industry, that delivers a highly durable, long-lasting finish. Tim Spann, National Sales Manager at Keller Kitchens, explains, “I’ve always been proud to work with a company leading the way in sustainability within our industry. This development marks a truly game-changing moment, especially for the contract market and retailers, focused on sustainability. We’re entering a new era where carbon-neutral manufacturing meets bio-based products, all at an accessible price point. What’s not to love?” 

Keller Kitchens turns 90 – shaping tomorrow’s kitchen living 

Not only does Keller continue to push boundaries with innovations such as the enduura® elba, but it does so with a legacy of craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. Founded 90 years ago in the south west of Holland, Keller has grown into a leading kitchen brand across the Netherlands, UK and beyond. With over 200 dealers, Keller delivers stylish, smart, and planet-conscious kitchens designed for real life. The company has been carbon neutral since 2017, is powered by 8,000 solar panels, and uses nearshore, renewable materials, water-based treatments, and robotic warehousing to minimise waste.

Siderise Updates Its Masonry Cavity Barrier And Firestop Range With Pioneering Open State Solutions

Siderise has launched three new Masonry open state cavity barrier products for 25 and 50mm air-gaps. The fire resistance performance of the three new additions is IFC certified (IFCC), alongside the existing Siderise EWI Open State Cavity Barrier and Firestops, offering peace of mind that they are suitably tested and independently audited.

 The three new products that have been introduced are:

• EW25-FS60 with a 1-hour fire resistance (E 60 I 60) for air gaps up to 25mm. 

• EW50-CB30 with a 30-minute fire resistance (E 30 I 30) for air gaps up to 50mm. 

• EW50-FS60 with a 1-hour fire resistance (E 60 I 60) for air gaps up to 50mm. 

  
  

The complete range is available with 30-, 60- and 120-minute fire resistance performance ratings for voids up to 400mm and all products have been tested in accordance with the principles of the ASFP Technical Guidance Document TGD 19— the widely accepted standard for testing intumescent cavity barriers. Siderise are proud to have helped pioneer these types of open state cavity barriers as an effective compartmentation measure.

 Siderise open state cavity barrier products feature an integral heat activated intumescent strip that rapidly expands in the event of a fire to seal the cavity, which is particularly beneficial for overcoming the compartmentation challenges presented by inconsistent cavity widths that result from uneven, decorative or stepped brickwork.

 Another distinctive feature of Siderise EWI Open State Cavity Barrier and Firestops is that they are mechanically retained using full penetration brackets with bent tails for secure ‘positive’ retention. This fixing method helps prevent them from shifting forward and slipping off, which could otherwise obstruct ventilation and drainage in the cavity increasing the risk of moisture build-up, and could also result in the formation of unprotected gaps between the substrate and barrier exacerbating fire risk. Furthermore, in recognition of market demand, EWI products can potentially reduce the volume of cavity trays needed.

The Siderise EWI Open State Cavity Barrier and Firestop range is part of a complete suite of engineered Masonry passive fire protection and moisture management solutions for masonry external wall applications. www.siderise.com

Three Stelrad CPDs Upgraded And Approved By CIBSE

Leading radiator manufacturer Stelrad Radiators has long lead the way in the provision of training and sharing knowledge via continuing professional development courses about every aspect of the use and specification of radiators on heating systems.
