Considerations for Kitchen Installation: Part One
Transforming Your Kitchen
Turning your kitchen dreams into reality involves more than just good taste. Creating a beautiful kitchen where the floor pattern complements the curtains, and the vases match the lamp, is just the beginning. You need to consider practical aspects to ensure your kitchen is as functional as it is stylish.
Fresh Air and Ventilation
A kitchen requires fresh air more than any other room, especially if you love cooking. Stagnant cooking smells can quickly permeate your home, turning delightful aromas into unpleasant odors. Proper ventilation is key.
Check Your Ventilation
Testing your extractor fan is simple. Hold a piece of paper up to the air vent; if it sticks, your system is likely functioning well. If not, there might be issues such as blockages or electrical faults to investigate.
Choosing the Right Exhaust Hood
While good ventilation is crucial, an efficient exhaust hood further ensures clean air.
Performance Considerations
Exhaust hoods should refresh kitchen air 10 times per hour. Multiply your kitchen's area by its height and then by ten to determine the required performance. For standard kitchens, 300 m³/h is sufficient, but if you frequently cook or smoke, consider 400-600 m³/h.
Size and Modes
Choose an exhaust hood wider than your cooker. Standard widths are 50, 60, 90, or 120 cm. Hoods come with two modes: recirculation, which filters and returns air, and air vent, which expels air outside. The vent mode reduces odors and noise, but may not always be feasible.
Versatile Options
For flexibility, consider a hood that offers both modes, allowing you to switch between them as needed.
Integrating with Your Interior
Since the exhaust hood is a prominent feature, ensure it complements your kitchen’s design.
Humidity Control
The kitchen can become as humid as a bathroom. Ensuring air renewal with a good ventilation system is crucial to maintain comfort and to prevent your kitchen from becoming a sauna.
Choosing Flooring
The beauty and comfort of your kitchen depend greatly on flooring. Large patterns can make a room feel smaller, while small patterns do the opposite. Glossy finishes enlarge spaces visually, whereas matte finishes make them feel cozier.
Flooring Materials
- Vinyl Flooring: Durable and modern.
- Linoleum: Firm, antistatic, and easy to clean. Natural linoleum is eco-friendly.
- Natural Wooden Floor: Offers a cozy and sophisticated look.
Selecting the right materials enhances both the aesthetics and functionality of your kitchen.
Conclusion
Creating your dream kitchen involves balancing style with practicality. By considering ventilation, exhaust systems, and appropriate materials, you ensure your kitchen is not only beautiful but also a comfortable and enjoyable space to spend time in.
