The Importance of Induction Hobs

At The Kitchen Company, we are dedicated to enhancing or augmenting kitchen designs and themes across the board.

However, we also want to make your kitchens fully-functional - with cost and energy-efficient options.

With this in mind, we are proud to feature a fine line of induction hobs for your new or existing kitchen.

These units basically generate heat through induction. While most homes have conduction methods for heating, induction hobs are designed to create electromagnetic fields between underneath glass top coils and pans. This results in:

• Better heat distribution for ferrous metal pots and pans (iron and steel units). •    Better cost and energy-efficient heating than traditional gas and electric cookers. •    Foods quick a lot quicker with induction hobs.
• These units are also easier to cleanup than standard cookers - and safer for the whole family as well.

Why Choose Induction over Electric Hobs?

Induction hobs are similar to electric cookers in that they use electricity to produce high levels of cooking heat. However, induction hobs stay cooler, while standard electric cookers can retain heat and cause bodily injuries if you are not careful. With induction hobs, you can touch the pan - on the surface - without having to worry about burning yourself. Still, we recommend using kitchen gloves for both types of units.
The biggest difference is with cost and energy efficiency. In fact, induction cooking has been proven to save home and business owners a great deal of time and money. This is due to:

• Induction hobs taking less time to heat up than electric hobs.
• You won't burn as much energy with induction cooking as you will with electrical cooking.
• Induction hobs can be 90% energy-efficient - while electric hobs are only around 55%.
• Gas hobs are less than 55% energy-efficient as compared to induction hob cooking.

3 Advantages of 'high' Gloss Kitchen Designs

One of the things that most kitchen design companies from Barnsley will ask you when you hire them is what kind of finish you want in your new kitchen.

There are two that you can choose from - gloss and matte. While matte has its advantages many people choose a high gloss finish because it comes with several advantages.

The first is that a gloss kitchen design  makes small rooms look bigger. Glossy finishes bounce light across rooms making them look bigger than they actually are so if you have a small kitchen you will want to opt for a gloss kitchen design or finish.

Here are additional advantages of a high gloss finish for your Barnsley kitchen design:

• These kitchens designs are much easier to clean. Unlike a matte finish which absorbs stain, a glossy kitchen finish only requires a simple wipe. It enables you to keep your kitchen looking clean, and it will be a long time before you need a new coat of paint or to replace fixtures and fittings.
• A gloss kitchen finish gives you a kitchen that is both modern and trendy. Kitchen designs change over time, and right now gloss is in. You will find many different gloss design options online and in magazines. You will find that most of these kitchen designs are also minimalist, and this is great because it eliminates clutter in your kitchen.
• A gloss finish allows you to play around with colour. Most traditional kitchen designs are either white or ivory, but with gloss you can experiment with different shades of reds, blues, greens and any other colours you may fancy.

Now that you know the benefits of having a gloss finish for your kitchen design you may be wondering which kitchen design service company in Barnsley you should hire to get the job done.

Can I Afford My Next Kitchen Design? What Should I Budget For?

 

The kitchen in your Barnsley home is becoming rundown, and as much as you want to do a remodel you are not sure whether you can afford it.

Many people put off giving their kitchens a new look because it costs quite a bit of money. You can, however, with careful planning give your kitchen an update without spending more than you can afford.

The first thing you should do is de-clutter - it is hard to know what needs fixing if there is clutter everywhere. Go through all cabinets and other storage areas and get rid of everything you don't need. Remove unused items from the counter tops and the floor as well so that you can make a proper assessment of the changes that you need made.

Next, take a pen and paper and make a list of all the repairs and facelifts that you want done to your kitchen's design. Check all areas - cabinets, counter top, floor, sink, taps, walls and so on.

Once you have all the areas you would like fixed you can start shopping around for a kitchen remodeling service and or company that is willing to work with your budget.

Many homeowners choose to do kitchen remodels themselves because they assume that they can save money this way. While it is possible it hardly ever works and here is why - kitchen remodels are not as simple as many websites would like you to believe. They involve precision work and expertise and unless you are extremely handy you will not be successful in your remodel.

In fact, often or many times DIY kitchen remodels end up costing more than professional jobs because things go wrong and have to be fixed more than a few times.

The best thing to do is shop around for a kitchen design and re-modelling company that allows you to work with a payment plan.

They will ask you for an initial amount, and then you can pay the balance in installments every month.

Make sure that you settle for one that is known for excellent kitchen designs and workmanship such as The Kitchen Company.

They are a kitchen design company based in Barnsley that have been servicing the area for more than 40 years and they install nothing but the best kitchens.

You can rely on them for high quality fixtures and fittings, and their installations are known to last a long time.

The Kitchen Company's Top 10 Tips and Ideas to keep your Kitchen Organised

Your kitchen is the place where you spend most of your time when you are at home, which means that it is important to keep it organised - it makes it easier to use and increases efficiency.

Your kitchen design will make or break the most used room in a typical family home and should stay organised whenever possible.

However, many homeowners find that hard to do because there are so many items in there, and most of them are used on an everyday basis. If you feel this way don't get overwhelmed - we have compiled a top 10 of tips to help you get started:

1. Clean out your cabinets - when is the last time you looked through the contents of your kitchen cabinets? It is very likely that there are items there that you haven't used in months and that you are not going to need again. Put like items together - if it takes you long to accomplish simple tasks it may be because you have organised items in the wrong way. You can improve things by grouping like items together so that you can always know where everything is.
2. Store in clear containers - clear containers are a great idea because you can see what's in them right away. This is not just for cereals, pasta and such - consider storing all small kitchen items in clear cabinets and jars.
3. Sort out your containers - start by looking for all containers that don't have lids and get rid of them. Store all the rest with their lids in a clear cabinet, and then do the same for all pots and their lids.
4. Store vertically - you can make much better use of your space if you store vertically using hooks. You can use them for cups, pits, pans and more.
5. Replace all broken kitchenware because all it does is make your kitchen look tacky. Replacing will also allow you to bring the latest technology into your kitchen.
6. Have your kitchen cleaned by a professional cleaning company at least twice a year. While it is true that you clean your kitchen every time you use it you don't get to the hidden places. It helps if you can bring in professional who will do a more thorough job.
   
7. Keep your counter tops clear by installing clever storage solutions.
8. Clean as you cook - it helps reduce the amount of cleaning up after you are done.
9. Remodel - it makes everything look new again.
