MATERIAL TYPE & QUALITY Look and feel matter a lot. So is the quality of the material used. Check if the material used is waterproof. Do not only consider how the kitchen looks from outside. Bright, flashy and decorative finishes can be given by any brand. Open shutters, pull out units and look at the insides. Generally, Pre- Laminated MDF, Pre-Laminated particle board or Boiling water proof ( BWP) plywood with lamination are used. Of these, boiling water proof (BWP) plywood with lamination is the best body material available in the market that stays unaffected even in the worst moisture-ridden conditions. DOOR MATERIAL While designing your kitchen, also consider what door-type to use. Boiling water proof (BWR) plywood with lamination, Pre-Laminated Particle board, MDF with acrylic finish, MDF membrane and Pre-laminated MDF are the best available options in the market. Of these, MDF with acrylic finish is the best door type if a high glossy look is required. For a simple look, however, Boiling water proof ( BWR) plywood with lamination and MDF membranes are the best options.

Kitchen Shapes

KITCHEN SHAPE: The Shape of the kitchen plays a crucial role in space utilization. The most common kitchen shapes are L-shaped kitchen, U-shaped-kitchen, Straight kitchen and Parallel kitchen. Moreover, if your kitchen is very large or you wish to go for an open kitchen, you could also opt for an island design. However, this design has a shortcoming. It includes the hob in the island, which doesn’t go well with Indian homes, as Indian houses generally do not have underground pipelines. If you have underground gas pipelines, this could be the best option to give your kitchen a rich look. KITCHEN PRICE: Price matters a lot to everyone. Check if you’re getting the best price in the market. Try our kitchen price estimator to check prices. Our prices are 30% lower than market price, due to the factory-direct advantage.
