Tell us about your company.
We began with a product called Permaglaze, which is a proprietary glaze that we have exclusive rights to in the Middle East. This product can reglaze a wide variety of items quickly and cost- effectively in a wide range of colours and finishes, including baths, tiles, kitchen cupboards, interior doors and skirting boards, and window frames.
As we grew, our customers asked us to undertake more and more work because they told us they wanted to get everything they needed to improve their property under one roof – hence the name and the concept was born!
We provide a comprehensive service in that we have access to a group of professionals, business partners and exclusive suppliers who can address all property requirements, all from our showroom near Times Square.
From internal and external painting work, structural renovations, bathroom makeovers, tiling or designing and installing your dream kitchen, Under One Roof offers excellent standards of advice and service, and a single point of contact for our customers.
Recent developments?
We are increasingly working with interior designers on their projects as we make their life easier. And as the exclusive Metris dealer in the UAE, we are also delighted that the Metris Wave Curve has won the prestigious 2010 Grand Designs best kitchen award.
Latest trends?
Curves, islands and high-gloss finishes. Curved worktop profiles and curved ends to the unit create an organic look that’s more child-friendly. The trend to open-plan living is raising the profile of the island unit, and it’s becoming the hub of the kitchen, both socially and functionally. Gloss is a leading theme and is now the most popular finish in the contemporary scene.

Tell us about your company.
Mac Al Gurg is a part of the Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group. From our inception in 1974, we have been a leader in the construction industry. With a head office in Dubai and branches in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Muscat, Mac Al Gurg boasts a diversified product range encompassing Yorkshire copper tubes and fittings, sanitaryware from Armitage Shanks, kitchens, Ductile iron manhole covers and frames, drainage solutions from Blucher and Frost, and pipe joint systems from Viking Johnson. The kitchens division of Mac Al Gurg represents the best kitchen brands from the UK and Italy, and is aggressively involved in project and retail business.
What are your best-selling kitchens?
Our best-selling kitchen models are Softec Cherry, Shaker Walnut and Character Oak. Other than the brands we represent, we also have our own brand, Mac Kitchens, which caters to budget kitchen options.
Recent developments?
We recently formed an association with Aran kitchens, a leader in Italian exports. Keeping up with the MAC fervour, we are also planning to venture into the retail business exclusively for kitchens and sanitaryware, with a new showroom planned for Dubai.
Latest trends?
Traditional designs will continue, with contemporary following closely behind, while the shaker style is witnessing a surprisingly strong resurgence. An open floorplan design concept is in demand and the social urge has made kitchen islands larger.
Cherry remains the most popular colour for kitchen cabinetry, followed closely by maple and white alder. Colours and textures which do not match but blend very well are getting a closer look. Environmental awareness has had an impact on kitchen design as well.
