Forget about the lack of color in the picture above of this perfectly streamlined and efficient kitchen. Just examine it. We want to focus on efficient work space in your kitchen. Action Plumbing Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical, your favorite Madison plumber invites you to go back to school for a moment. As plumbers, HVAC guys, and electricians our job is to focus on the basic elements of every home we serve. From tip to stern if you will, making sure if you decide to renovate, remodel, or start from scratch; that you haven't left something you need to have out. Pot fillers on the stove area, multiple sinks, spray faucets, efficient garbage disposers, enough electrical outles in the right places, and keeping the changes organized are what we do best. Going back to math in school is just the beginning.
We need to ask first if you were good at math in school? If you were like me, then you may not be good in math at all, and geometry in particular was troublesome. Today's kitchens can present challenges if Geometry isn't used. Geometry equals efficiency in most cases, and these practical principals are used just as they have been in the picture above to make working in that kitchen a dream. Who knew right! As it turns our, a triangle design may improve your ability to have great workflow, on day to day chores, and more importantly when preparing everyday recipes and entertaining when others want to help.
Regardless of the shape of your current kitchen; U shaped, L shaped, galley shaped, or mostly straight lines; the work triangle is the central focus on placement of cabinets, counters, islands, and appliances. Where they are with respect to workflow depends on shape, design, styles, and appliance sizes.
What makes a kitchen great for you in your home is the main focus Action Plumbing Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical is discussing in this article. The kitchen is most often a 3 item work area. The refrigerator, the sink, and the stove. Working with ease in the style kitchen you have, or are remodeling is all about the shape, the appliances you want, and then working out where each piece goes in relation to cabinets, countertops, and location. Meal preparation must include cleanup, number of persons who work with you, and entertaining if you have a lot of activities in the kitchen with friends and family. It has to be easy to use in any situation.
Will you be starting from scratch with a total remodel, building a new home, or renovation of your existing style, finishes, and appliances? Here are some questions you may want to ask before you begin this project, then contact us here at Action Plumbing Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical to discuss the details like sinks, faucets, islands, electrical outlets and counter top work space. Here are some questions that may help you.
It is totally smart to plan at the beginning of any new project, and hopefully not waiting till after everything is installed. Colliding with people, pets, islands, and opening cabinets and appliance doors is critical to it's success in becoming a joy to cook in. We all need life's little pleasures and cooking for family and friends should always be about that love. Take a look at the picture below.
Successful work triangles for your new kitchen means you will be able to move quickly and without incident within the three key areas of concern. You won’t need to navigate around garbage cans or chairs while carrying a heavy pot of boiling water. This work triangle also gives you enough room to avoid bumping elbows with your cooking partner. In a perfect work area this work triangle will likely measure between 4 and 9 feet in length. The total length of all three legs should be between 12 and 26 feet.
Now comes the style of the new kitchen floorplan; and the discovery process on where it needs to be placed for maximum efficiency. A clear picture about this location of your kitchen’s work triangle definitel assures you will not have blocked paths and have a free workflow from one area to the next.
Back to math for a second, considering all the above, can you say math is really for everyone and can be used in the most simple ways. And this applies to the style of kitchen in any setting. Keeping the work triange intact means you are free to focus on the style and design. Streamlined kitchens that are modern, contempory, farmhouse or minimalist modern, make it so easy to begin your project.
