-
What material are your cabinets made from?
This depends on the style of kitchen. We have two different types of materials.
High density Melamine faced chipboard (HD MFC) is the most common material used but it does come in different qualities. Most high street chains make use of low density chipboard as it is cheaper to buy raw, it is loosely compressed and prone to water damage. Our suppliers use high density which is the strongest grade of chipboard available, far less prone to water damage.
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood that is very hard wearing and resilient to warping. This material is generally used for the higher end range of our cabinets.
-
What thickness cabinets and doors do you offer?
We offer 19mm high density Egger MFC carcasses, as comparison most high street competitors offer 18mm low density MFC. Thickness of doors vary between style from 18mm through to 22mm.

Vinyl foil matt and gloss, MFC for a more natural look and feel and painted matt and gloss

How many styles of doors do you have?
We have slab doors which are as the name suggests, a plain solid piece of wood that can be used handled or handleless using a special profile. J handle which is our handleless range that does not require a profile. Slim and traditional shaker, slims offers simple elegance in comparison to the more traditionally known 5 piece and single shaker style.

How are designs and documents delivered?
For your design pack, we have a specially designed cloud platform that effortlessly allows you to login via a username and password that we will generate and email to you. All your quotes, floor plans, elevations, installation plans, 4K resolution renders and VR showcase are delivered on the platform. The platform also allows you to easily share designs to family and friends, compare different styles and provide feedback on amendments. This area is secure and confidential at all times.
-
How does the VR work?
The virtual reality experience is delivered directly to your design pack online. This can be accessed from anywhere in the world using your unique username and password. You can view the VR on a PC or laptop but will not be able to truly immerse yourself in to the experience, for this reason we recommend viewing the VR showcase on a smart phone or tablet with a three-axis gyroscope sensor. The VR offers a full 360° view, designs can be seen from multiple angles and viewpoints to fully understand not only how your design has been planned, but how it looks and feels practically. No additional hardware or software is required but we have created an industry first VR viewer that can be used to enhance your experience.
-
What are the benefits of VR?
The virtual reality experience allows your to fully understand and appreciate your design. The problem with 2D plans and 3D renders alone is that it's literally impossible to visualise your ideas. Our VR brings your kitchen to life right in front of your eyes.

Wren Kitchens offer VR, what's the difference?
The simple answer is flexibility. Wren's VR service is available in limited showrooms across the UK, you physically go to a participating showroom and you have to use expensive hardware. In comparison, our VR can be accessed from anywhere in the world, no need for additional hardware, no limitations, no need to book another design consultation, always available and no limit how many people can benefit from the experience.
