Kitchen islands
Kitchen islands in Loveland
A room about 12 feet wide is usually enough to fit one well.
Keep about 42 inches clear on each side, or 48 when two people cook together.
Simple over a basement. On a slab the concrete has to be cut for the lines.
- 01Outlets
Code calls for outlets on an island, so wiring comes up through the floor.
- 02Seats
Allow about 24 inches of counter per stool and a 12 inch overhang for knees.
- 03Check the fit
Drop an island into the 3D room and see if it crowds the range or the fridge.
