Vancouver Maple melamine kitchen with Karoo Ice granite counters. |
Vancouver Maple is one of the most sold melamine boards on the market. This kitchen remodel was done using that and Karoo Ice granite to compliment the maple. Allot of pot drawer cabinets as well as spice drawer cabinets were added to the floor units for easy access to the items stored. A huge corner pantry with cross shelving was also installed to make the corner more reachable. The auto open bin was installed under the prep bowl for disperse of vegetable peels when peeling them. |
THE MICROWAVE UNIT IS ONE OF THE 'MUST HAVE'S' IN THE KITHCHEN.THE SIDES ARE CUT AT A 45' ANGLE SO AS TO MAKE THE TOP OF THE CABINET MORE SHALLOW AND THE CABINET ABOVE THE MICROWAVE MORE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
THE RONDO RDX 610 C1 FRANKE PREP BOWL HAS A SLEEK LOOK AND AMPLE SPACE TO WORK IN.THE EXQUISITE LOOK OF THE DRAINING PLUG MAKES THIS WELL PRICED PREP BOWL LOOK MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IT REALY IS.
THIS 45L PULL OUT BIN HAS A LID THAT OPENS UP WHEN THE DOOR OF THE CUPBOARD IS OPENED. THIS KEEPS THE SMELL OF THE GARBAGE IN THE BIN AND OUT OF THE KITCHEN.THE BIN ALSO HAS A RING THAT CLIPS OVER THE TOP EDGE OF THE DRUM CLAMPING THE BAG ONTO THE BIN SO IT DOES NOT FALL IN.
THE SPICE DRAWER HAS TWO SHELVES FOR PACKING SPICES AND CONDIMENTS. THE TOP SHELF IS USED FOR SPICES IN SHORT BOTTLES AND THE BOTTOM FOR TALLER BOTTLES LIKE COOKING OIL AND TOMATO SAUCE.IF YOU RUN OUT OF SPACE HERE YOU CAN ALWAYS STORE SOME OF THE SPICES IN THE PANTRY KITCHEN CABINET.
The pantry kitchen cabinet
The pantry kitchen cabinet is used to store grocceries.This kitchen cabinet can be made to a size of 1000mm in width up to 1300mm.The wider the pantry the wider the cabinet doors will be and the easier you will be able to reach inside and acces the grocceries.Notice the cris cross shelves inside the pantry.They overlap one another allowing for more space and more functionality.The pantry kitchen cabinet has shelves which are 250mm in depth allowing for ample storage space.Just remember,if the shelves become to deep the space inside the pantry becomes smaller.I good height to make the pantry kitchen cabinet is 2300mm.This will give you allot of shelving for packing and storage.Remember to fit a 45 degrees hinge on the cabinet carcase to fit the door to otherwise you will have the fitt a upright 90 degrees with the door to fitt the door too.This specific kitchen has a kitchen pantry that is built in the corner of the kitchen.You also get a pantry cabinet that you build against a straight wall.You would normaly make the cabinet anything from 700mm to 1200mm in width for maximum space utility.Remember to make sure that the shelves of the kitchen pantry are at least 300mm away from one another otherwise the condoments wont fit on the shelves.If you have abit of extra money to spend on the kitchen you can build a kitchen pantry and fitt a stainless steel laader unit in it.Just make sure that the cabinet height is at least 1936mm.A good laader unit will set you back about R3000 but makes life very easy in the kitchen.Not to mention the sleak look it leaves.Always use a solid melamine chipboard back for the pantry so as to fitt the shelves against.This will also make the cabinet structure stronger and last longer.When you build the kitchen , make sure you start with the kitchen pantry cabinet first because this is probably the most difficult base unit to fitt and level.After you have made 100% sure that the cabinet is level you can line up and fix the other units to the pantry unit.Remmember that the floor of the kitchen as well as the walls and roof is always skew so dont assume the kitchen pantry cabinet is straight.....know its straight.
