MANUFACTURED
We pride ourselves on a sense of local community, traditional values, and long-established relationships that thrive
in our depots and manufacturing facilities.
We have two purpose built state-of-the-art manufacturing sites in Howden, East Yorkshire and Runcorn, Cheshire.
We also have a large distribution centre in Northamptonshire, and collectively these sites cover over 6 million
square feet.
The UK manufacturing link does not stop there. The trees used to make the chipboard are grown and harvested in
the UK, mainly in forests in Northumberland, Scotland and Wales. They are then turned into FSC® certified chipboard
in the UK by EGGER and Kronospan.
All of our appliances come with a minimum of a year manufacturer’s guarantee, and our Lamona appliances are
guaranteed for two years, with five years on oven door glass.

Leonard Cheshire Disability
The partnership between Howdens Joinery and Leonard Cheshire Disability is based on a shared belief in
the value of local relationships and putting local communities first.
Since 2004, Howdens has worked closely with the UK’s leading charity for disabled people to develop a
range of Inclusive kitchens, and to support and empower thousands of individuals across the country –
donating almost £2m in the process.
This is where Howdens’ range of Inclusive kitchens can help. They have
a variety of clever features and adaptations, including height adjustable
worktops and cabinets. The next few pages talk about these features in
more detail, and show the different ways in which you can adapt your
kitchen:
• Fully accessible kitchens designed for people with physical disabilities
• Adapted kitchens offering a mix of clever features ideal for mixed
abilities
• Functional kitchens that ensure easy access for those with limited
mobility
Once you have explored the different adaptations available, choose your
kitchen style from one of our three kitchen collections. Each collection
has a variety of kitchen styles to choose from and a range of colours and
finishes, which are all available as an Inclusive kitchen.

Planning your Inclusive kitchen
1. Kitchen layout
Position your cooking area, refrigeration and sink to form a triangle and create an optimal working space. Include space for a turning circle if you need to accommodate a wheelchair.
2. Accessibility
Worktops, appliances and wall units need to be at the right height for your needs and may need to be adjustable. You can also choose from flexible plinth heights.
3. Usability
Bar handles and lever-action taps are easier to use, while magnetic pressure catches take the effort out of opening doors.
