Who figured out your kitchen ventilation needs and when?
Comments (4)You kinda have to be on point on this. A lot depends on what type of cooking you do and with what type of range. That sets the baseline for the needs. Your range or cooktop manufacturer will have recommendations that should be followed in order to comply with code as well. And, when you need to move enough air, that involves figuring out make-up air as well. Once you figure up how much air needs to move, then you need to figure out what route that air needs to take. That could be as simple as straight through the roof, or as complicated as straight up, 90 degree through the top shelf of some cabinets to another 90 to go through the back corner of the master closet on the second floor and then through the attic and roof. If it's not simple, that's when you involve the HVAC people for the route and the ducting needed. And you hire the best, because make-up air is still not that understood by many in the trade and you get lots of folks who just scratch their head and grunt at you when you mention it. After the how much, and where's are figured out, then you get down to the specific models and the look of the whole thing. Your own personal aesthetic and budget will be the main limiting factors there, so again, it's best if you are in the drivers seat on this, even if you have a GC or KD. Just be sure that you are in communication with all about the different aspects. That's the ideal situation. But for people who don't want to be as involved, they usually just pay the GC extra to be sure that it's part of their supervisory responsibilities. Then it's up to the GC and KD to coordinate the nitty gritty....See MoreModifying A Poster's Layout
Comments (11)Update.... Instead of percentages, I now use actual measurements. The scale I use is 4 boxes or 0.8" on my layouts = 24" in real life. So, a standard 24" deep x 24" wide cabinet would be: height = 0.8" and width = 0.8" A 36" wide cabinet would be: height = 0.8" and width = 1.2" (still 24" deep) Note that the toolbar shown above is for Microsoft 2003, not 2007....See MoreQuartz Table Top
Comments (15)While the counter does not additional support to avoid breakage, the cantilever created by extended it that far needs support to avoid it being a tipping hazard. Traditionally steel supports are designed into the cabinet design so that there is no impact to the knees of the people seated. At this stage, it is best to consult your Kitchen Designer about how to integrate support into your design. Remember that most corbels are decorative instead of functional....See MoreClueless guy asks: What shape/size table for this EIK space?
Comments (34)@Cheryl - thanks. The light was a total impulse buy. Got it home and realized I had no idea what to do with it. If I had it to do over maybe I’d pass on it. Doesn’t really fit in with the overall vibe, but it’s workable in the kitchen....See Morethreers
