Few of us live in the big mansions shown in many local St Louis TV programs; where a whole extended family and their friends troop into the kitchen and take up seats around various Kitchen Countertops In St Louis. Meanwhile, someone is preparing salads at a countertop beside the sink and eggs are being cooked at the countertop that holds the hob. The counters are crafted in beautiful wood with fantastically organized storage spaces inside them and they are topped with beautifully patterned natural stone.
Fantastic, Hideously Expensive And Requiring More Space Than Many People’s Whole House.
Ok; that’s on TV but it does not mean that you cannot have something similar in your own St. Louis home. The key to this has two components: –
* Well thought out ergonomic design
* Modern engineered materials.
All Kitchen Countertops For St Louis have to be supported on something no matter what you intend to do on the top surface. The key to fitting out a small kitchen lies in making maximum use of these spaces below the countertops. Plain cupboards and drawers have been superseded with ingenious space saving storage systems that swing or slide out from beneath the counter – you can now fit more into less space.
But what about the budget; the small kitchen will have fewer units but, if they are to have a fabulous appearance, aren’t they still going to be costly? This is where modern engineered materials can come to your financial rescue.
Stainless steel cabinets and counters may be fine for a restaurant kitchen but many people would prefer wood for their domestic arrangements. Real natural wood comes in the form, shape and size of the tree that it is cut from; this can limit design and (these days) make wooden furnishings expensive. Synthetic based alternatives whereby chips of waste wood are glued together into boards save cost and provide wider sizing options but, let’s face it, they look cheap and can start to fall apart in the moist and steamy atmosphere found in kitchens. Engineered wood follows the same basic concept of laminated particle boards but uses better quality natural wood grains more thoroughly bonded together with epoxy based chemicals to give board that is hard to discern from that cut from one piece of wood.
For our engineered wood bases, we can also utilize engineered real, natural stone for our Kitchen Countertops In St Louis. One such example is a 10% epoxy; 90% natural quartz stone which not only has all the depth of beauty of (say) granite but can be more durable and hygienic than a slab of quarried granite.
