After an exceptional year with Siemens, Richard has been invited to become a Siemens IQ Specialist. At present there will be no more than 50 in the UK as Siemens wants to give exclusivity to the chosen few. In fact we will probably be one of only 3 in the South.

The extra benefits to us as a 'Siemens Specialist' is great for the business, with extra marketing potential, exclusive showroom 'point of sale', extra support and of course extra discounts which will certainly ensure we remain one of the most competitve fitted kitchen companies in Kent.
The launch of the Siemens IQ range of appliances last year was an real leap forwards in design & technology introducing their brand new range of fully co-ordinated appliances. Good looking on their own and fabulous together...

The 'Smart Living' collection includes a steam oven, combination steam oven, pyroKlean multi-function oven and a pyroKlean oven with microwave, activeKlean oven with microwave and a coffee centre. To complement the range, Siemens also offer built-in microwaves and warming drawers.
One of the major driving forces behind the creation of Siemens brand new IQ range was to offer the customer the ability to achieve seamless design co-ordination between appliances. So the range comes in two distinct variants: IQ500 and IQ700 that covers almost every kitchen appliance that we make. With all the pieces designed to combine effortlessly with each other.

For over 100 years, Siemens has been the leading innovator in creating reliable, cleverly designed and quietly efficient washing machines and washer dryers. A combination of aesthetically pleasing design with groundbreaking innovation, they truly take the humble chore of washing clothes into a whole new dimension.
Everything about a Siemens laundry appliance is designed to help you manage the range and complexity of modern textiles, with even the smallest details examined and tweaked to give you the ultimate in performance.

Siemens always looking for ways to improve our dishwashers. And now, thanks to a Zeolith-based technological breakthrough, our new machines return an astonishingly energy efficient 0.97 kWh.
All of their dishwashers offer excellent time and energy savings alongside complete flexibility and versatility.
They also come fully equipped with an assortment of inventive, stylish and easy to use functions.

Saving energy is paramount to Siemens. As is clean design, first-class quality and smart thinking.
Together, they're the backbone of their approach to everything they create. It's an attitude that runs right through the entire range of cooling products; from the smallest under the counter model to our stunning American style fridge freezers and right through to aCool, their latest top of the range models.

Richard Simon Interiors are now members of FairTrades; one of the UK's largest, multi trade associations; along with an Insurance Backed Guarantee Scheme run by Home Pro. As members we reap the benefits of increased marketing, business support, sales leads and special offers, whilst the homeowner benefits from finding a top quality trade professional who upholds the values of the Homeowner's Charter and has the project secured financially.

Although a home improvement is one of the safest forms of financial investment, there is one pitfall that is often overlooked: A WORTHLESS GUARANTEE - a contractor's own guarantee can cover faulty workmanship and materials - BUT ONLY IF THE COMPANY IS STILL TRADING. At Richard Simon Interiors the IBG (Insurance Backed Guarantee) can protect your project from deposit to completion and beyond and it can cover stage payments made to your contractor and the work in progress*.
