• Freestanding radiant hobs: Standalone units that offer flexibility and easy placement. They are perfect for kitchens that require adaptability or for renters who need a versatile cooking solution without permanent installation. Freestanding hobs combine the benefits of a radiant hob with mobility and easy setup.
