To mark their fortieth birthday, Qasair Rangehoods have released the exquisitely decorative Sapphire Range.
February 11th, 2013
For the past forty years, Qasair Rangehoods, a wholly Australian-owned company, have been manufacturing high quality rangehoods in the quiet Melbourne suburb of Ringwood.
To mark this fortieth milestone, they’ve released an exquisitely decorative new range of kitchen rangehoods. The Sapphire Range was created using chemical etching on the surface of the stainless steel, to create colour and texture to stunning effect.
Qasair’s Sapphire Range: Rangehood in Persian Blu
Sapphire’s Persian Blu conjures visions of the splendour of Moghul palaces, whereas Dama Chequer suggests an English country house.
This new range reworks the idea of the kitchen rangehood as a beautiful feature piece, allowing for the aesthetic preferences of the individual.
This aesthetic achievement is coupled with Qasair’s existing reputation for delivering high-powered rangehoods, and their ability to custom design for architects and designers.
This known manufacturing quality is the reason Qasair is able to compete here and overseas with multi-nationals and their hefty marketing budgets.
Qasair’s John F Keating has owned the brand name with his business partner for over 20 years. He says, “We rely mainly on word of mouth from happy customers, including architects and designers. We have a solid reputation out in the market place.
This is how they’ve grown from a small local entity to a medium-sized company with offices across Australia, exporting to New Zealand and South-East Asia.
They’ve seen a particular spike in sales over most recent years, which Mr Keating attributes to the “Masterchef phenomenon” – more and more homeowners are discovering the joy of creative cooking, and investing in high-powered cooking equipment so that they can replicate restaurant quality food at home.
With classic Qasair quality and a range of beautiful colours and designs, the Sapphire range meets the demand for high-powered cooking equipment, and the need for aesthetic freedom.
