HELP: Small L-shaped kitchen with refuse chute on wall!
Q
Comments (10)
Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference.

Stone Amperor Pte Ltd 2. HEAT-RESISTANT (~204 DEGREES CELSIUS) of quartz Just to clarify the following points with quartz any temperature over 80oC will cause microfissuring. Failure usually occurs at between 95oC and 125oC . Like any stone or surface, if you can not touch the heated object with your naked hand... DO NOT PUT IT ON the surface.

Must Know About Integrated Sink
Q
Comments (0)
The integrated sink is getting more popular lately because of its seamless design and irresistible look. Integrated sinks are made from the same material as the countertop. For example, if your countertop is made from quartz, then the sink is within the piece without any slit. This option is only valid for materials flexible enough to be fabricated into the shape of a sink basin, include quartz, marble, and solid surface. People adore the seamless appearance of a smooth transition from sink to surface. What you might not know is, the integrated sink is produced by the countertop manufacturer, not the sink manufacturer. Integrated sinks are fused in place in the countertop factory. There is a wide variety of integrated sinks, as they are available in quartz, copper, marble, concrete, etc. in elegant finishes to complement your kitchen and bathroom designs. Besides the appealing look, the integrated sink also brings many benefits that might surprise you. 1. Low Maintenance One-piece construction means no crevices for capturing dirt, hair, or other food debris. The materials used to make integrated sinks are majority stain resistant. Some are even resilient to scratches and antibacterial even without polishing. These make cleaning easier and save your time on maintaining the quality of the surface. It is the ideal kind of sink for the public washroom in your home that needs a quick refresh after every guest uses the room. 2. Easy to Install As the integrated sink and the countertop are joined, your supplier can complete the installation in a short time at an affordable price. A DIY installation is not recommended though. 3.Safer to Use Unlike integrated sinks, the common sinks are made from different material than the countertop. There might be the uneven thickness of surface materials, finishes, or shape of accessories that can be harmful to you or the kids. Integrated sinks are connected with the countertop without any cut-in between, making it a safer choice for home. 4.Stylish Designs For integrated sinks, there are numerous materials, shapes, and styles to review. For the shape, you can get either round, square, or layered. Bended and straight style integrated sinks are available too. In addition, you can also match your integrated sink design with the backsplash of your kitchen and wall in the bathroom to express sophistication. There are limited materials that are versatile enough to be fabricated into integrated sinks. A primary factor that must be taken into consideration when choosing an integrated sink is that the countertop and the sink are permanently joined and should be treated as a single unit. Therefore, if the sink or countertop is damaged or cracked, the other piece must also be replaced. Below are a few popular types of integrated sink – and the advantages of each material. 1. Quartz Sink Quartz sink is a simple and elegant engineered surface. There is a wide variety of colours to choose from, which are fade-proof due to the product’s inherent characteristics. As this material is non-porous (thus more hygienic), it is not a problem to rinse vegetables and other food in the sink. Moreover, quartz sink is heat resistant, so hot pots can be placed directly into it after cooking. Advantages of Quartz Sink Highly durable Less noise due to its natural sound-proofing quality Smooth surface – easy to maintain Non-absorbent, stain or dirt can be easily removed Hygienic – bacteria and odor resistant Long-lasting color and uniformity Heat resistant Granite Sink One of the hardest known minerals, granite is the first choice of natural rock when a combination of durability and aesthetics is required. The few advantages of a granite sink are: Gorgeous looking Highly durable Resistant to water mark and scratches Cheaper compared to quartz Solid Surface Sink The installation of solid surface countertop has been increasingly popular in home construction and remodeling projects. It is heated and fabricated to form top sheets of countertop and sink together. Dust resistant Antibacterial Contains recycled content Invisible seams Non-porous Resistant to heat Integrated sink is a durable, seamless alternative for homeowners who desire something other than a regular stainless steel sink in the kitchen, or an old tile vanity top in their bathroom. Integrated sinks are made of materials with smooth yet stain resistant surfaces (with many finishes to opt for). The decision to choose one over another may be based on which qualities you are looking for in a sink.
