At Kohler, we believe great design is form and function in perfect harmony with the environment. This means designing products that don’t just look beautiful and perform exceptionally well, but also use significantly less water. Because lowering your water usage shouldn’t mean lowering your standards.

Kitchens Info Highlight

One of the first decisions you have to make when planning a new kitchen is a layout. At Elames Kitchens our designers are experienced in working with different size spaces to create the most effective layout for any home. As you start the planning process and doing some research you may find there are elements of your kitchen which compromise your overall design ideas; you may not be able to change where the sink in your kitchen or the oven for example, but you can change how your kitchen is organised around these elements and how the rest of the space works in their vicinity.

Here we share our designers top tips to ‘zone’ your kitchen so it works best for the existing space available. This helpful diagram may not look like your kitchen but it illustrates how an existing kitchen space can be organised to maximise storage and efficiency in any home.

9

1 Divide your kitchen into five zones.

Consumables zone: The area used to store most of your food. This may actually be split into two zones: one for your refrigerator (fresh food) and one for your pantry or food cabinets (dry goods, oils, etc.).

Non-consumables zone: The area used to store everyday dishes, including plates, bowls, glasses, and silverware.

Cleaning zone: The area that contains the sink and dishwasher (if you have one).

Preparation zone: The area where most of your kitchen prep happens. This may be a stretch of countertop, or a kitchen island.

Cooking zone: The area that contains the stovetop, oven, or range, and possibly the microwave. Once you’ve worked out your zones, you’re ready for the next step.

2 Store items as close to their related zone as possible.

Use the zones your have created to establish where key items need to be stored. For example, knives, mixing bowls, chopping boards, spices, and other prep utensils should be stored where you do most of your prep work, in the preparation zone. Cooking utensils, pots, pans, and bakeware should be stored as close to or near the stove or oven, in the cooking zone.

3 Store your everyday dishes in the cabinet closest to the sink or dishwasher.

This tip saves time when emptying dishwashers or tiding up after washing up!

4 Create prep space as close to the stove as possible.

The diagram also illustrates how an effective prep area is located as close to a hob or oven as possible. At Panelven Kitchens we always try to establish the most amount of counter space in this location. If you are really tight for space a small island or an over the sink chopping board can be a great way to make your space more flexible.

LIGHTING Technical Info

THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF BOLLARD LIGHT FIXTURE Bollard lighting installation should be performed by a trained electrician but it is best to have a good understanding of the installation process so that you are able to make an educated decision before you start purchasing bollard lights.

The mounting bracket that will connect to the base of the bollard should be cast in concrete. To do this, dig a hole that is deep enough to allow the bollard to be level with 5cm raised concrete to the ground. Insert a sonotube then fill up with concrete.

Run PVC or conduit pipe into the center of the sonotube for the electrical wires.

Make sure that there is enough slack to connect the wire to the ballast or socket at the top of the bollard light.

3.1 Management of polygons In this mode, it is possible to draw the piece to be realized directly on the machine. In the machining stage, the position of the saw blade will be the origin the profile.

3.2 Management of profiles In this mode, it is possible to draw the desired profile directly on the machine by entering both the rough-machining and finishing parameters. In the machining stage, the position of the saw blade will be the origin the profile.

4.

MANY ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE: • • • •

BASIC SOFTWARE OF EASYCUT FE 600 EVOLUTION BRIDGE SAW ENABLES THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS: Manual cutting of rectangular or polygonal pieces The machine operating in manual mode is very simple, rapid, intuitive and easy to ap-proach even for non-experienced operators which have no knowledge in electronics. The operator runs the machine using the simple portable button panel and the cut-tracing laser, while reading the cutting depth displayed on the touch-screen.

Cutting of repetitive rectangular pieces (such as floor tiles) In this mode, the machine performs automatically a series of longitudinal cuts (each cut can be set at the desired distance), the table is manually rotated by 90°, then the machine proceeds with the transversal cuts (each cut can be set at the desired distance).

Management of profiles In this mode, it is possible to draw the desired profile directly on the machine by entering both the rough-machining and finishing parameters. In the machining stage, the position of the saw blade will be the origin the profile.

Management of polygons In this mode, it is possible to draw the piece to be realized directly on the machine. In the machining stage, the position of the saw blade will be the origin the profile. This operation can be performed only if the machine is provided with the accessory “motorized rotation of the work bench”.
