Going over 160-13O

I would like to go over another layout now in it`s entirety and review all points. This kitchen we actually installed yesterday. The following items are all given written straight out on the layout.
• All the way on top we see that the cabinet style the customer is using is "Classic Round"(thermofoil).
• The color he is using it in is "White Matte".
• The counter Regal Kitchens did not supply.
• The knobs are Cliffside Industries model # 100-SS.
• This kitchen is 123" wide from wall to wall.
We also saw previously that cabinets generally run in 3" increments, obviously we made some custom sizes here. We also supplied the following for the customer:
• LG Microwave model # LMV1314W.
• Kohler sink model # K3325.
Kohler faucet model # K15160PC.
The rest of the appliances and counter was supplied by the customer.
On the right we started off with a filler because there is a window there. Obviously the only drawer in this kitchen is the B20(custom made, not a 3" increment), but if you want a sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, and stove(20" pretty common in NYC apartments), you have to give a little t make it fully operational.


Please don't hesitate to call with any questions,

Summing up the layout

I think from our previous posts(here, here, here, and here)I was able to give you a brief description of whats going on in the layout. Below is the actual proposal and layout(name and price taken out), that we supplied to the company. You will see it`s extremely straight forward with very little(if any) lee way for error.


So to summarize it all. We measured the kitchen for the customer, sent him the above layout and proposal. We installed the kitchen, supplied and installed the customer with the following:
1)Jim Bishop Richmond Deluxe kitchen cabinets.
2)Cliffside Industries model number 100-SS silver satin cabinet knobs.
3)U-Line model # 2175RF “Stainless Steel” 24” under counter refrigerator.
4)Avanti model # DG201BS “Black with Stainless Steel” 20” stove.
5)GE model # JVM1750SS 30” wide ”Stainless Steel” over the range microwave.
6)Kohler model # K15160PC single lever pullout spray “Chrome” faucet.
7)Kohler model # K3330 14” X 15 ¾” single bowl stainless steel under mount sink.
8)Set of Plumbing parts.
9)Set of Gas Parts.
The counter top was done by the owner, the customer ordered his own granite. I am trying to get hold of a picture of this kitchen completed, just to give you, instead of getting it through Regal Kitchens an idea of whats going on, I will post it as soon as I get my hands on it.

Reading A Layout Part 2

Now that we learned from yesterdays post how to see from the layout what cabinets are being supplied. Lets see the rest of the layout. Starting on the wall cabinets first, all the way to the left it says WF 1 1/2", which stands for "Wall Filler" 1 1/2" wide. Now all the way to the right it says "WEP 1"x42", stands for "Wall End Panel" 1" wide, and 42" high. the reason we put a panel, instead of a filler, and we made it 42" high instead of the 24" high which is what the cabinet is, is because the W3024 cabinet has a Microwave underneath it which is about 18" high. So the 24" cabinet plus the 18" Microwave is 42" high, now the reason we did a panel instead of a filler is because otherwise on the right side it would be hollow between the Microwave and the wall. Down to the Base Cabinets. To the left we started with a DWR 1/2" which stands for "Dish Washer Panel 1 1/2" wide", which we out there since the fridge is there we needed some sort of support for the counter top on the left. Now we also put a "Side Splash" on the left side. Tomorrow I would like explain the various fillers, and panels why we actually use them as well the Owner, and installer notes we use on our layouts.

Reading A Layout Part 1

Lately i`ve been posting layouts of the kitchens we installed on our facebook group. I know I started introducing the different kitchen cabinet door styles that we sell, and then I went off about Jim Bishop Cabinets and some other things(going off topic is an old problem of mine). I think it`s very important to go back to basics. On June 22, 2009 I posted a blog post "Ten Steps to Measuring Your Kitchen", I think I should have mentioned how to read the layouts as well.
Let`s start with an easy layout, that we @ Regal Kitchens just did PO # 160-7S. You will see alot of numbers and letters. Here is the break down. The "W" with numbers to the right of it stands for Wall Cabinet, that will represent the cabinets hanging on the wall. Cabinets staring with A "B" represent the Base Cabinets, which are the cabinets sitting on the floor, and supporting the Counter top. On the Wall Cabinets, the last 2 digits are telling you the height of the cabinet, the first digit(s) is telling you the width of the cabinet. As far as the base cabinets go, all Cabinets are the same height 34 1/2"(unless there is a customization). As far as the width goes, in Base , and Wall cabinets they go in 3 inch increments starting with 9 inches.
I think we are now ready to look at our layout to see what is going on. Starting on the left the first cabinet is A "W3342"(33" wide x 42"high). To the right we have A "W3024" (30" wide x 24"high). Now you might ask why did we not make the cabinets the same height it`s because, we have a 30" Microwave hanging from the cabinet. On the bottom starting on the left we have 24" Under counter Refrigerator(that's right a real small one that fits under the counter and is only 24" wide, to the right of that we have a SB18, which stands for "Sink Base 18", which is 18" wide. To the right of that we have a 20" stove(pretty common in NYC apartment buildings). All in all a pretty small kitchen, for someone that is paying a alot of rent. but that's what goes here in the NYC.
