Kitchen

Kitchen island with granite top

A round kitchen island with a granite top. The bottom section was made using MDF which was veneered after the curved doors were fashioned. There are 5 doors to compartments housing, amongst other things, a stainless steel rubbish bin. The plinth is also MDF and sprayed with a hard wearing black paint.

Standard sprayed kitchen cupboards

This is another part of the same kitchen where all the cupboards are made from MDF and sprayed with a 2 pack paint for durability.

Tall kitchen cupboards

Two larder cupboards either side of a large fridge freezer. The painted finish is the same as the cupboards above.

Kitchen doors

These cupboard doors were made when this kitchen was refurbished and additional carcasses installed. As doors for the new units could not be matched with the old, it was decided that new doors were required throughout. The new doors were made to extend above the cupboard carcasses to provide additional covered storage space to the ceiling.

Making new doors to totally match an existing installation is an almost impossible task. Shape and size can usually be accommodated but colour difference becomes a serious problem. As timber ages, the colour changes so even if the new doors looked the same at the time of delivery, the colour will change over the years.
