Minimum counter length for 2 sinks
Comments (7)You can combine a spa soaking tub with a shower head but you may be a little more difficult getting in and out of the tub for standing than a very shallow tub. My parents did this in their NYC home ages ago and it was a great solution where spaces was obviously at a premium. I have also seen this arrangement in hotels that have been remodeled to be more luxurious but still have to contend with a small bath footprint. You just need the tub to have a tile flange so that you can detail your surround correctly. I know for example that Kohler's Tea for Two tub has a version with an integrated tile flange and I know there are others as well, I just don't know what they are offhand....See MoreKohler Stages 33 Sink in Island Question
Comments (12)I actually find the work side, for me, is the cutting board side. A quick rinse, wash and up it goes to the cutting board. I suppose having more space on both sides is ideal but I didn't want the sink in the middle of the island . Having a long unbroken run of counter on the island was more appealing to me than having lots of counter space on both sides of the sink. The sink is in a 36" cabinet and there is 4" of filler beside the sink. This with the counter overhang gives just over 7" of counter on the short side of the sink. As much as the stages sink is wonderful, I have to say the Karbon faucet is that much better and is so functionaal especially with the sink. Hope the pics help!...See MoreInstallers and Owners- Can the Kohler Stages sink be topmounted?
Comments (23)Will yours be installed in an island or on the perimeter? Our problem had to do with the fittings that screw onto the faucet and faucet controller under the sink. My DH had difficulty with the install as it was so tight. Be sure to give your contractor the specs/instructions for all of the fixtures now so he can design accordingly. This picture shows the reinforced back edge of cabinet and routed edge for sink. I wish we put holes where we originally planned, between top ledge of cabinet and the reinforced area where you see the circles drawn. We were so close to the back of the cabinet it made the install very difficult. I was not able to get shots during the install as my DH was verrry frustrated. He likes it now that it is way behind him. ;) Here is the underside showing the hole for the air switch. We should have moved the holes about an inch toward the sink. Hope this helps! Let me know if you or your contractor have any more questions....See MoreKitchen configuration questions (fridge, counter top clearance)
Comments (31)In terms of overall length, I have from left to right: 48" Freezer(18")/Fridge(30") 3/4 inch side cover panel 120" counter top, therein 36" induction cook top 3/4 inch side cover panel 30" wall ovens 48" pantry (2x24" high cabinets) 2" cover panel to the wall = 249.5" Total I've been going back and forth on the hood. It's probably the most discussed item. Originally we planned to get a custom hood liner built for an insert hood, but now we are leaning towards this very basic BOSCH pull out hood. Minimum mounting clearance over cooktop is 25 3/5". There is no maximum clearance given in the spec sheets. It should come in right around 30-32" clearance (math: 84" tall cab (incl. toe kick) - 36" base cabinets - 15" wall cab to mount the hood to - 2" for the hood hardware = 31"), which is very average as far as I can tell. I was planning to build a custom open cabinet left and right of the hood cabinet which will probably be around 16-17" high to seamlessly integrate the pull-out. See inspiration below....See Morebeachem
