Excellent Advantages Of Having Cabinets And Countertops

By Ina Hunt


The kitchen is perhaps one of the most loved parts of the home. It is where food, from raw ingredients, is boiled, fried, sauteed, steamed, and baked to culinary masterpieces. It is also where most memories are made, like when you made your first batch of chocolate chip cookies that was quite a disaster. This part of the house is where you will learn if you have a talent in cooking, or if your abilities are only limited to its appreciation.

It also should be the cleanest and most sterile part of the house, seeing as all the food that is laid out on the dinner table is prepared and cooked here. Typically, it has more or less the basic components such as a sink that has running water. It also should be equipped with a stove or whatever means of cooking the food. Most kitchens have a working table or counter where all the slicing, dicing, piping, and all related cooking methods are to be implemented. For greater utilization of space and for easier access, most kitchens feature cabinets and countertops nj.

Cabinets are generally box like in shape and is a permanent fixture in kitchens. Some are open, some have doors. Some even feature drawers and shelves. Most premade ones can stand on their own and can be made to move from one place to the other. Some cabinets are built in with the structure of the house. They are fixed to that area forever, or until such time that you decide to have it taken out.

There are four basic cabinet types. The base is mostly for storage of pots, pants, and other heavy kitchen stuff as they rise only a few inches above the ground. Tall cabinets rise higher than base ones. Before, they were originally meant to keep the brooms safely away from view. Today, they are used to hold pantry items for a better utilization of kitchen space.

Specialty units are often custom items that are not at par to any standard measure. It can be made to fit any client specifications. It is often used so that one is able to utilize all available kitchen space wisely and economically. This includes corner cabinets, bottle racks and suspended units.

The wall cabinets are those that are fastened on wall. Most of the time they rise above your head, and can hold light food items such as those stored in box cartons and packaging plastics. Since these foods can be easily opened, they are placed high above as a precaution against rats and other tiny creatures. Tall cabinets can double from pantry storage to broom closet.

The early kitchens from way back often feature a long and large table. This is mainly all the work is made. The table is where all the women of the household sit together and prepare the ingredients to a specific recipe. This is where they dice carrots, peel potatoes, and shred the lettuce. This was assuming, of course, that the kitchens back then were really big. Some could even be as large as a great hall.

Countertops come in varying materials, according to the needs of the one who is to use it. The earliest ones are typically made of wood. This made it quite a hassle to clean out. Nowadays, they can come in granite, plain glass, special glass, concrete, and a whole lot more.

They come in all designs and different types of materials can be used in making them. Most are made of granite, tiles, or designer glass. Some even feature a sink and some base cabinets under for more space.
