bulthaup gas hob

By developing its own gas hob, bulthaup is following on from the success of its multi-award-winning water points. The professional hob, with four burners, forms a sensual and functional unit in combination with the water point. Using a unique laser welding method developed specially for bulthaup, the lowered gas hob is integrated seamlessly and flush into the worktop. Functional working at just one level forms the basis for the perfect symbiosis of cooking and water points. The linear arrangement of the burners is also practical from an ergonomic perspective. Moreover, it accentuates the gas hob's sculptural character. The concept, which is identical for both elements, transforms fire and water into a natural unit, making the new bulthaup gas hob a true innovation.

 

More possibilities thanks to new fronts

The attractive design of the laminate and aluminum fronts with wooden edging creates a new dimension of personalized possibilities. In particular, the impressive interplay between "cool” aluminum and "warm” wood, between light and shade, creates a lively ambience. Experiencing these contrasts with all the senses makes the aluminum front with wooden edging a unique haptic experience. It exemplifies beautifully bulthaup's outstanding expertise in edge finishing.

Flawless craftsman-made and technical manufacturing are typical features of the new veneered surfaces made from apple, ash and American walnut. The natural, plank-wood effect lends the new fronts a unique appearance. Thanks to a surface treatment that is specific to bulthaup, the result is a unique, authentic natural wood effect. bulthaup gives the veneers their classical natural look by combining light and dark strips. The timber from ecologically sound stocks is treated with environmentally-friendly, water-based varnishes.

 

Seamless worktops

The design of the laminate worktops makes them look as though they are all from a single mold. The seamless worktops get their homogenous, sculptured appearance from the application of the fully-dyed material to the work surface and the edge. As system products with reliable, comprehensive quality, the seamless worktops are a valuable enhancement to the world of bulthaup.
