How To Paint Soffits (Not In Kitchen...)
Comments (5)It may be distortion in the photos but in some areas it looks like the ratio to bottom or soffit to ceiling is pretty high, and the islands of white on the ceiling may emphasize that. Maybe there is a lot more ceiling than appears in some of the photos....See MoreGood and bad - soffits in kitchens
Comments (24)Not all soffits are avoidable because they hide pipes, etc. that need to be hid and thus there is no alternative but to use soffits for many, me included. Every kitchen that needs soffits is a unique problem to be solved and there are good soffit designs and poor ones. Some people's kitchens require pretty complicated soffit designs. I have found that one needs to be explicitly clear, in conveying what you want for the soffit design for your kitchen situation. I think it best to show an exact picture of what you want if you can and if you can a detailed technical drawing. Here is another soffit pic with a very tall ceiling like you mentioned you have. It is a relative's kitchen. I think the soffit looks very nice. However, if it were my kitchen I would probably have preferred the small moulding just above the cabinet tops to match the stain of the cabinets. I think it would blend in better. But this kitchen does look very nice in person. I also like soffit example A the best of the ones you posted....See More19" soffit over kitchen counter tops? Truss company screwed up
Comments (4)Trusses cannot be modified without a written stamped plan from the engineer. Trusses can remade a lot easier than permission to modify can be given. The liability is too great for field modifications from an unknown skill set instead of factory conditions under supervision. Bottom chords are NOT going to be removable. That is a key structural component! They screwed up, they remake it. Simple. You screwed up, you pay to have it rebuilt. Also simple. Remaking on site as a kludge? Invalidates the engineering....See MoreHow to hide soffit in modern kitchen ??
Comments (18)There is a little change in depth of the soffit over the fridge. If that was gone and it was all the same depth, would you be ok with it? That little jog bugs me, but the rest doesn’t. In the photo of the cabinet to the right of the stove I actually like it, it looks like a design feature. I think what they did is get cabinet boxes aligned to exactly the depth of the soffit, but then put on full overlay doors that sit proud of it. It looks purposeful and I like it, except for that jog. That makes it a miss to me. I would probably just built out that one spot. I wonder though, if it is a required appliance clearance?...See More- 2 years agolast modified: 2 years ago
