Oven dilemma - WWYD?
Comments (3)I do like my KA oven. I, like you, do not do a lot of baking. I use it for broiling, roasting meals etc. I really like the bread proofing for when I make my pizza dough. I never had an oven with that feature and it does a great job helping the dough rise....See MoreMakeup air dilemma - WWYD?
Comments (4)If you require heated MUA you need a custom( read expensive) system. If not Residential Makeup Air System (RMAS) from CCB Innovations might do the trick. "By creating a makeup air infiltration point localized to your kitchen ventilation system, the air is replenished at a slower and more controlled rate during the operation of the kitchen vent hood. To do this effectively, the operation of the kitchen ventilation system needs to synchronize with the operation of the motorized fresh air damper. The damper needs to open only while air is being exhausted from your kitchen and remained tightly closed when not in use. Synchronization of the fresh air damper with the kitchen vent hood can be achieved using the Residential Makeup Air System (RMAS) from CCB Innovations (patent pending). This allows the operation of any kitchen exhaust system to connect to a fresh air damper 3-5ft away from the exhaust hood to bring in fresh, clean, healthy air to balance the pressure change in your home. By maintaining an equivalent air exchange rate, the potential for negative air pressure during operation of your kitchen vent hood is significantly reduced. This will provide a healthier and cleaner air supply inside your home. Even if not required in your area for residential homes, installing a fresh air intake with a high CFM kitchen ventilation system is always a good idea. And because the Residential Makeup Air System (RMAS) by CCB Innovations is universal to high CFM vent hoods, it can be installed in any new home, or even retro-installed, in an existing home to provide a cleaner and more balanced air supply for you and your family," Here is a link that might be useful: LINK...See MoreBacksplash dilemma - WWYD?
Comments (13)A good tiler can still hide many counter not-being-flush sins, up to about 3/4" if not a bit more. They can backbutter the tiles, that is, build up the mortar behind the tiles to compensate. Don't sweat about finding thicker tile! But as others say, it's not a crime to have the short countertop-material backsplash, either. :-) Why don't you have them deliver it but not install it, until such time as you've decided whether you want it or not? It's really just a matter of using an epoxy glue and sticking the thing on, as long it's already measured etc....See MoreKitchen exhaust hood requirements to avoid a make-up air damper
Comments (1)I'd suggest reposting in the Appliances forum. That's where lots of ventilation discussions take place--and also where downdraft vents are widely viewed as not very effective, so beware. :)...See Morekksmama
