Compact Compactor

Extend your kitchen's workspace with the Broan Elite XE trash compactor. Configure this slim, 15" compactor as a stand-alone appliance, or integrate it into your lower cabinets with a wood, stainless steel, white steel, or tile front-panel option.

Find Space Anywhere

Utilize every inch of your lower cabinet space with the Armstrong Chef Center base side pullout. Cabinetmakers often use spacers to fit standard-width drawers in a kitchen layout. A kitchen pullout, providing tiered shelves or organizers with hooks, replaces the spacer with practical storage space.

Get it: Armstrong Base Side Pullout, available in 3" and 6" widths

Singular Style

A single-handle kitchen faucet lets you place optional accessories in small, two-hole sinks. The pullout wand on the Brizo Belo faucet eliminates the need for a separate sprayer and includes fingertip volume control. Optional accessories include a soap dispenser and sculpted bud vase.
