The Work Triangle or The Work Area: One of the most important aspects of any fitted kitchen and also one of the areas of planning that should involve input from the cook or chef. There are three main appliances that will condition this area and these are the kitchen, the fridge and the sink or waste area. You may well wonder why, well when you think about it, these are the three most used places in any kitchen. If any of these areas are too far apart, it can make it difficult to use the kitchen to its full potential. So the work area or work triangle should get the attention it deserves before moving on to the other areas of choosing your kitchen, and that’s your first fitted kitchen tip.
Kitchens available: When you walk into any showroom today, you’ll see a myriad of built-in kitchens displayed under strategically placed bright lights, and you think I must have one of these. A little advice, do not rush into that decision, and that is your second built-in kitchen advice. One of the areas to check is the cooker casing or frame. This is where the doors are attached by hinges that will be used many times every day, and you certainly don’t want to adjust the doors a few weeks after your purchase because some manufacturer decides to cut corners by using scrap wood from the frame, and the hinges, and so on. Accessories, such as guides, become loose because the screws used to hold the accessories do not grip properly.
