Cook’s Plumbing Supplies proudly supports local manufacturing wherever possible.  With our product supply covering bathrooms, kitchens and laundries, it’s exciting to know that home grown manufacturing is represented in each of these categories across the industry.    There are some great new products on the market, here we look at a few of the latest from three of our trusted local suppliers.

Bathroom
Concrete Nation may have only entered the market in 2013, but what an entry it has made. Manufactured on the gorgeous Gold Coast in Queensland, their meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship pushes boundaries and stays ahead of industry trends.  The handcrafted concrete basins are simply divine and come in a range of stunning shades.  You can view a couple of the basin variations at Cook’s Penrith and Windsor showrooms.

Kitchen
It was 1947 in a small suburban factory in Adelaide where Oliveri was born.  They remain Australia’s only commercial stainless steel pressed-bowl sink manufacturer, whilst also importing quality products like the new Italian produced ‘Santorini’ Glass Top Sink, available now at Cook’s.  The sink is constructed from 80% granite and 20% quartz and resin, ensuring premium quality, durability and reliability.  What’s the pièce de résistance you ask?  Two glass panels that when closed completely conceal the sink bowls, creating an uninterrupted bench top surface with a look to match sleek modern appliances. This rock solid sink comes with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty – it’s a true show stopper.

Laundry
Another Queensland success story is Everhard.  Since 1926 the name Everhard has been a well-recognised and respected family owned brand in the industry.  Their range of ‘Excellence’ laundry tub and drawer units don’t disappoint.  The drawers include two soft close doors, with finger pull functionality and ample storage.  A great look (and practical piece) to integrate into any laundry design. They are available in timeless white as well as modern black finishes.

Contact a Cook’s Showroom Consultant for more information.  Their product knowledge is second to none, providing advice and information not only on these products, but the extensive range of bathroom, kitchen and laundry products available in the Australian market.

The Lola is by far the perfect Wow factor bath that will seamlessly fit into any bathroom from Hamptons to contemporary.

What do you love about this product?
I love the fact that it’s only made from the highest quality sanitary grade acrylic. Not only that but it also has an internal steel frame and has a reinforced base, so with a 10 year warranty to put your mind at ease The Decina Lola really is an easy choice.

Would you put this product in your own home? Why?
I would 100 percent include the Lola in my next bathroom renovation. It truly is a beautiful freestanding bath that has a simple design yet still has a real WOW factor about it. It is the perfect example of less is more.

The Decina Lola freestanding bath has only just been released onto the market. I believe it will be one of the highest selling baths this year as it has the ability to seamlessly fit into the current trending bathroom designs.

Is there a particular style that this product would be most compatible with?
The Lola is a really versatile bath that can fit into many styles from a Hampton or French Provincial Look to a Contemporary even a luxe styled bathroom.

What other products can you suggest that would help complete the above look?
I would suggest pairing the Lola with ADP’s London Wall hung vanity, using Astra Walker’s Icon Tapware and a Caroma Luna Clean flush Back to wall Toilet suite to give you the perfect contemporary bathroom with a subtle hint of Hamptons and a dash of Luxe.

What project budget does this product fit into?
