Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are a favorite for our clients seeking modern and stylish kitchens. They use magnetism to warm the pans instead of heating plates or burning gas beneath.

This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient as well. The glass-ceramic surfaces remain cool to the touch and is also easy to wipe down.

Like other types of modern hobs, induction ones are designed to be simpler to clean than their gas counterparts. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking good as new.
