Selected Kitchen Materials & Components

ARK’s Materials Library brings together the cabinet materials, finishes, benchtops, handles, functional hardware and sinks that can be developed into a confirmed kitchen specification.

​

It is a practical working library rather than an unlimited product catalogue. Actual selections, inclusions and upgrades are confirmed for each project according to the design, quotation, availability and final specification.

1. Materials Library

2. Suppliers & Brands

Cabinet material sample folders and technical records

Where can I check the technical information behind these materials?

Technical information, supplier documents and supporting product information are kept separately from the selection pages, so specifications can be checked against the relevant material, component or supplier.

4. NZ Source & Manufacturing

Where do ARK’s materials and components come from?

ARK distinguishes between New Zealand-sourced cabinet board materials, cabinetry manufactured in Auckland, and other components that may come through separate local or international supply chains.

Our NZ Source page explains these distinctions, together with the source information available for the materials and components we use.

5. Project Specification

How does a material selection become part of a kitchen project?

The Materials Library is a selection reference, not a fixed inclusion list. The materials and components used in each ARK Kitchen are confirmed through the design, quotation and final project specification.

​

Different material, finish and hardware selections can affect project pricing. Completed ARK projects also show how these selections have been used in real kitchens.
