The invisible kitchen has become more than simply a space for cooking and eating. Moving away from traditional standards, the kitchen has become the new social space and arguably the most used room in your home. From cultivating a culinary delight, to family board game night, the kitchen is becoming a multi-purpose function room but with the shift to the invisible kitchen design, it comes with its own questions.
Below, we have noted the most commonly asked questions:
TPB tech induction units can only be used with TPB tech worktops. Our unique layered technology ensures energy efficiency and also offers reinforced durability. When cooking, you are likely to move pans and like in every kitchen, accidents can happen and heavy objects can be dropped onto work surfaces. Our reinforced surface means that the surface will not crack or break, unless extreme pressure is applied.
TPB tech induction worktops are composed of 4 layers, with each serving its own specific purpose.
Unfortunately, no. Our invisible induction system is designed to work with our proprietary worktop material, which is 15mm thick and consists of four crucial layers. These layers ensure the reliability of precision induction cooking and resistance to temperature and impact. Although we cannot accommodate other materials, our worktops are competitively priced, ensuring you receive unparalleled value and performance.
Absolutely. While TPB tech worktops get hot, they are designed with safety and efficiency. Our cutting-edge worktop technology lets the surface cool down twice as quickly as traditional induction hobs. The worktop heats up from the pan’s heat, but thanks to our advanced elevation technology, only 50% of this heat is transferred to the surface, ensuring safety and comfort during use.
The largest single slab we can produce is 315x122cm, in most of our finishes. Some of our finishes are only available in 300x122cm. To find out more about each specific finish and available sizes, please give us a call to speak with an expert.
TPB tech Invisible Integrated Induction is a fully bespoke product. Each worktop, along with induction units, are custom made per order. Within the limitations of your workspace, you can have as many induction units as you would like but we like to personalise it based on your needs. First, consider how many hobs you need on a day to day basis, second, consider how many hobs you need for large events, family gatherings etc. and this will help to narrow down your requirements.
Our standard lead time, from the date of order placement, is 8-10 weeks. Please note that a piece can only be delivered after the base furniture has been installed.
Yes, you can. A waterfall leg, with its mitred join from corner to corner, perfectly preserves your kitchen’s sleek, invisible aesthetic. For those looking for continuity in their kitchen’s design, we offer the option of book-matching your marble design across all surfaces. Please note that this customisation is available for an additional cost, allowing you to achieve the desired look.
Indeed, we do. TPB Tech UK prides itself on offering a comprehensive end-to-end service. To ensure seamless integration and functionality, it’s essential to inform us before your furniture production. This allows us to review your design, ensuring it meets our minimum requirements. Following furniture installation, our team will take precise measurements for your worktop and return for a professional fitting within a few weeks.
No. While invisible induction aligns with modern and minimalist kitchen trends, TPB Tech invisible induction is a certified appliance that has been in continuous development since 2013. Its growing adoption in homes, restaurants, and cooking schools shows it is a long-term solution rather than a passing design trend.
TPB Tech is the only certified invisible induction appliance currently available. Many other products on the market are design concepts rather than fully tested appliances and do not offer the same safety systems, energy efficiency, or long-term reliability.
Yes. Invisible induction is one of the safest cooking technologies available. Heat is generated only when compatible cookware is detected, surfaces cool quickly, and there is no open flame or combustion, making it significantly safer than gas or traditional electric hobs.
Invisible induction is highly energy efficient, transferring most of the energy directly to the pan rather than heating surrounding air. This efficiency can help reduce energy consumption and household running costs, particularly as energy prices rise.
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of an invisible induction worktop is that the entire surface remains usable when not cooking. This makes it ideal for open-plan kitchens, minimalist designs, and multi-functional living spaces.
Absolutely. TPB Tech invisible induction is used in Michelin-star restaurants, prestigious cooking schools, and professional kitchens worldwide, proving its durability, performance, and reliability in demanding environments.
Induction is generally faster, more efficient, and cleaner than gas. It offers precise temperature control without compromising indoor air quality and requires significantly less cleaning, as there are no burners or grates.
Yes. Many TPB Tech installations have been in continuous use for over ten years. Its durability, evolving technology, and timeless design make it a strong long-term investment in both lifestyle and property value.
Yes. Many homeowners choose to pair a statement cooker with invisible induction. This allows them to enjoy the visual impact of a range cooker while benefiting from the speed, efficiency, and easy cleaning of induction cooking directly on the worktop.
