hi froggy

originally came with standard wooden door

do u have to change the door frame to cater to the glass door?

we had done up a simple L-shaped kitchen

the actual thing looks different from 3D cos we chose another laminate at the very last minute

looks orangy thous IMO

3D drawing

Actual Kitchen

I think the colour of the laminate is fine. You planning to do glass backing like in the 3D?

So where are you putting the fridge?

thanks froggy ...the real thing looks like one big carrot .. LOL

maybe things not up yet and not used to it .. fridge will be opp. the hob .. no place oredi..

talking about hob.. is the trend now low hanging hood? i am kind of short so its ok for me.. fits nicely under the hood but anyone taller than me cant cook cos they will knock their head against the hood.. my contractor said its the standard height.. is this true?

i think different brand has diff spec - usu give recommended distance between hood and stove for best efficiency. Also, some hoods protrude more than others, so if knocking is a concern, then maybe choose something that protrudes less?

But I have recently heard from a friend that there is such a new hood with adjustable heights - so you can adjust it according to the kind of cooking. You heard about that?

do you mind taking a pic of the frame? as well as the part where the hinges join glass door to frame? We are still angry with ourselves for not doing more homework and having to live with the wooden door

Oh i thought to use glass doors, the original wooden door frame cannot be used? We are also installing glass doors for our toilets and we thought need to replace the door frames.. My ID already warn us of the make good cost as to tear down the door frame, it will impact the wall tiles in the toilets and that cost monies.. hmmm..

hey dexufto

are you using E*dmund from dx?

there are guidelines from National Kitchen and Bath Association actually.

But most importantly the height of the hood is determined by recommendations from your manufacturer of your hood. they will specify what is the optimum height from the worktop. Any higher it will not be efficient.

Meanwhile the height of your cabinet worktop is determined by you & your spouse's (or whomever is using the kitchen) elbow's height minus about 10cm. Can be found from Hettich website
