LED undercounter lighting direction with deeper cabinets
Comments (18)@Olivertwist, I recommend rear-facing LEDs to avoid hot spotting and glare. If you have 110-120 degree LEDs, downward facing is just fine. I was not suggesting varying the angles. I think if you have glare-prone backsplash material or glass tile which I imagine would give you all manner of odd reflections and even sharper glare, I would recommend working hard to source wide dispersion LEDs or LEDs in housings with diffusers like GWlolo's. LEDs in either orientation should not affect other under-counter items unless they're in the path of the light. And with pure strip LEDs without housings, you can certainly rout out a 1/2-5/8" x 3/8" groove in the bottom of the cabinet and bury the strip light in it. For a cleaner look, you should put a frosted plexiglass strip over it; that'll look pretty snazzy....See MoreMicrowave solution - deeper upper cabinet?
Comments (20)We did not have custom cabinets, but ordered Kraftmaid from Lowe's. We didn't want our often used microwave and toaster oven in view when not in use, so we had one of the uppers increased in depth to 18", and had an "appliance gargage" type cabinet made to slide in between upper and countertop increased to 18", also. We have lived in our kitchen for about 8 months now and I love this set-up! I worried about the cabinet doors being open when using these appliances, but our house is a quiet one, with just DH and me, so it has not been a problem at all. Also, for us, having the doors open like this reminds us to shut them when we are done using the appliances, so they aren't perpetually open like they were when we had the old style tambour door. It looks like you have a great spot to do this where you have planned. Or, maybe you just want the upper done, but I don't have a picture of how that would look....See MoreNXR range questions - deeper cabinets? Hot door? Ignition coil?
Comments (5)If you've seen other posts, you've probably seen my comments on the subject of hot oven doors and sides. To summarize: the stove will be a lot hotter during the intial burn-in than later. After a wee's worth of using my NXR DRGB3001 model, the hottest spots (and they were just spots) were about 140F-145 --- that's the center of the "toe-kick" right in front of the glow-plug end of the oven baking element. There were a couple of areas of around 130F and most of it (including the oven glass) was only around 95F to 105F. My tehory is that that the burn helps the insulation set. So, no apparent fire hazards on the sides. As for the top center panel, I have to say I have not checked recently. I bought the optional center grate which stands over the center panel, As weissman says, pro-style stoves do stick out a bit further than other stoves. Your photo looks like what I see in my kitchen. Actually, I had not noticed this before....See MoreDeeper than standard upper cabinets...
Comments (22)my custom cabinet guy makes them slightly deeper than standard as his standard... mainly he does it to fit 12 inch plates. it is a nice. regarding custom the sky is the limit, both in possiblities and price. Some things are "cheap" to change, and some are not, and some have unintended consequences. we pulled the base cabinets out from teh wall on our fridge wall to about 28 or 30, I forget. its only 1 cabinet, we didn't make it bigger, we actually just spaced it out. you still have to move the corner cabinet over, making that run shorter. other things that we didn that were "custom" we have the fridge next to a pantry, A) the cover panel for the fridge comes out to the front of the fridge, whcih stock ones don't do. we also had the pantry made to come out to the front of the fridge, so its 30 inches deep. We also made it open from the side, so its 14inches, by 30, opening on the 30. what this did is save us from having a pull out pantry, which costs about $1K for a nice one for the pull out unit, and we see everything in the pantry as the shelves aren't deep, but are wide. Also, go with big crown... go big or go home... it costs more, but in the grand scheme generally not that much "more" than 3 inch on a whole kitchen. the function is definately one reason to go custom and a big reason, but the build up crown, to the ceiling cabinets is the more visable side of "custom"....See Morefriedajune
