Another Aisling

Here's an Aisling i'm currently working on, all being well it will be installed late Feb 2018.

Colours haven't be confirmed as yet, as they are taking it primed to be painted on site.

Really nice, love that sage green actually - nice and fresh. and good work with the place settings on the table! I've never used the Aisling graphics on Articad - what are they like to work with?

Thanks, I had to make the table myself in sketchup as I couldn't find anything big enough to use (most of the jobs we do need tables to seat at least 10, sometimes as much as 24) and then had to add everything else afterwards.

The Aisling catalogue is a little basic, it's essentially just the old KitchenCraft cat. with the names changed, so they are just slab doors and you have to add the frames in ArtiCAD, so there's no option to show butt hinges etc, but it does the trick with a little messing around.

That table is often the size of the kitchen I see.
Really nice design though and the work you have done on the table is fantastic.

Just got the deposit for this job, along with a drinks area (also in Aisling) and a utility too.

Won't be installed until April, so plenty of time to go through everything and prepare the (not so easy to configure) order form

Brilliant Meeps! look forward to seeing the project photos once complete

Congratulations Meepster! Nice to go into Christmas with that under your arm.

Great to hear... Merry Christmas...

Well, this kitchen is in finally! It's being painted as we speak, but the customer has sent me these images of the work in progress. Can't wait to see it all done and dusted!

Nice one Michael!

looking good.
still going with the colours as per the renders?


Do you buy in primed or raw from Aisling?

I have no idea about the colours! It changed that often from initial inquiry to it being delivered, I just asked the customer to surprise when when it was all done 

This one was bought in primed, the last one was sanded as they were used to PWS 1909 but when we told the trade client that primed was an option, they went down that route and they were very impressed with it, so I think all future Aislings will be supplied primed.

We've done a couple of painted recently too; the paint quality much better than the ones we did previously and any problems were resolved within a week. 

Personally, I won't use 1909 now if I can help it, will be pushing Aisling a lot more often!!!

Did you know they can do a tinted primer too, so it's a close colour to the paint finish. Then if there is a scratch it doesn't go through to a white primer on a colour kitchen.

Thats a nice touch . . . as long as the customer doesn't change their mind 

when do customers ever do that

Yes, and they did call to ask whether I wanted standard white or for it to be tinted, but I had to stick to white this time.

I know the display we've had put in the showroom; they used a darker primer behind the marine blue as one of the doors was covered in scratches when we un-packaged it and you could see the primer below.

Got a few images of it all finished!

Looks great!!! Like the overmantle alot

love that
