The General Contractor

Built Right Renovations, a Long Island siding contractor, was awarded a 2008 Award of Distinction for outstanding use of vinyl siding from the Vinyl Siding Institute, an organization that regulates the vinyl siding industry nationwide.

Built Right Renovations was recognized under the Residential Re-Siding category for their installation of vinyl siding and accessories throughout the Long Island area. Built Right Renovations’ owner, Jeff Geller, admits that all the work and attention to detail for their service was worth it. “I can’t think of a better way for our siding division than to receive this award. I am honored to have been recognized by VSI.”

The panel of judges for the award included many distinguished experts in the home building and remodeling industry such as syndicated home improvement writer and former remodeler, Jim Rooney and Scott Montjoy - a construction manager for Habitat for Humanity International.

All entries were required to use vinyl siding certified through the VSI Vinyl Siding Certification Program, which verifies through an independent inspection process that certified siding meets or exceeds ASTM D3679, the accepted industry standard for quality vinyl siding.

Most kitchen designs are based on a layout that considers the “work triangle”. The theory behind the work triangle is to position the sink, refrigerator and the range or cook top in a triangle because this is the most efficient use of the space in a kitchen. The three fixtures then form the points of a triangle, with the distance between them being between four and nine feet.

Kitchen design experts say that if there is less than four feet between these fixtures, the space is too cramped to work. If the distance is more than nine feet, the result is waste of energy, time due to too much walking. This traditional layout of kitchens still tends to be preferred in kitchen design both in new construction and in kitchen remodeling.

There are many ways to design the layout of a kitchen to provide a work triangle. The sides of the triangle do not, of course, need to be the same size. If, for example, all kitchen counters and appliances are on one wall, the layout would be such that there is no more than nine feet between any two of the main fixtures.

In a larger kitchen or a kitchen with an L-shaped layout of two of the fixtures, adding an island in which the cook top is located will make the triangle smaller. In a large kitchen, you can create work areas for different types of cooking, with additional sinks. In this case, your kitchen design might incorporate two or more work triangles.

It is also possible to design a work triangle in a kitchen in a way that will direct traffic away from the work area. In kitchens open to dining areas, this can be an important consideration.

Islands and peninsulas can often be added to kitchens which are inefficiently designed to reduce the size of the work triangle or to create an efficient work triangle. These spaces can also be used to set off the work area, to provide additional counter space or work space, and to provide additional storage. Islands and peninsulas can also be used to create dining space in the kitchen.

It is increasingly popular in larger kitchens to create functional areas within the kitchen, such as a baking area or a grilling area. These functional areas can each fit into or create a work triangle by adding additional refrigerators, sinks, etc. A baking area, for example might be designed in a way that makes the oven a point in the triangle. However, if this is the case, access to the cook top or range should also be considered.

Thinking creatively and considering the value of the work triangle should help you design a functional kitchen remodel that will be efficient as well as pleasing to the eye.
