Helpful Tips on Building Custom Kitchen Cabinets For Your Remodel

February 12, 2019 by

When you remodel your kitchen, there are different ways to change the look of your cabinets. You can buy brand new cupboards, repaint the ones you have or refinish the existing wood. All of these will give you a fresh look. One thing to take into consideration when renovating is building custom kitchen cabinets. A professional contracting company can help you with things you would not even think about when designing your cupboards.

Efficient Use of Space

The best designers will look at the space you have and help create kitchen cabinets to fit your home and your needs. A good designer will ensure that doors and drawers do not open into areas that would obstruct other appliances. They will also make sure that your working space allows you to easily maneuver. One consideration in cupboard design is to make sure there is enough toe room by the base. This allows you to move closer to the cabinet when cooking or baking.

Ensure Building Codes Are Met

No matter where your home is, there are building codes required by the state or town where you live. A kitchen design professional can help to make sure that your design is built to the requirements in place. They need to meet codes for locations of electricity and plumbing. It is important to make sure that you meet these standards so you do not get penalized later.

Design for the Future

Another consideration when building custom cupboards is the length of time you plan to use them. Cabinets can be created for more ease depending on the age or needs of a person. A good professional can help make your kitchen more accessible if you are handicapped or aging by using lower spaces more efficiently. They can also create wider spaces between countertops or add aids such as handrails to different locations in the kitchen.

There are a lot of details to consider when creating custom kitchen cabinets. They are a great option for a beautiful, customizable and unique space made just for you. Speak with a professional today.

Why Soapstone Is an Excellent Material for Kitchen Countertops

September 13, 2018 by Carson Richard

kitchen

Although soft to the touch, like a bar of soap, soapstone is incredibly strong and durable. It is a natural stone that is mostly magnesium and talc, and the Native Americans used it for cookware, because it has tremendous heat distribution capability. The stone is also fantastic for inlays, including fireplace mantels and surrounds, sculptures, sinks, and even kitchen countertops.

 

This material can stand up to hot pots, pans, and casserole dishes that you place on your countertop. To protect the stone, you’ll want to use hot pads, but you don’t have to. It’s durable enough to take abuse much like granite does without damage. The only thing that happens to soapstone as it ages is it darkens some, but this natural patina enhances the stone’s beauty.
