Repairable by professionals only. Use a cutting board. Resealing needed once a year. Dark surfaces need frequent wipe-downs to avoid fingerprints.
Very stylish. Provides a smooth, cool surface for handling things like dough. Absorbs some oils and stains. Heat-impervious. Sold by the slab. Popular colors more cost effective for waste concerns.
Limestone
Medium ($50-$80)

Providing a professional with rough measurements and sketches of your kitchen or bath will help them develop a design with specific ideas and determine the project’s scope and estimated cost. Here is a guide to properly measuring your kitchen or bath to help you begin planning your dream project. Before you begin, be sure to note your trim thickness, the location of any pocket doors and floor vents and whether the top of your cabinets will be visible in any place of the room.
Measuring Guide
Measuring Guide
Walls • Measure the overall length of each wall at countertop level. • Measure each section of wall separately, measuring from corner to window, window to door, etc. Make sure these measurements add up to the total wall measurement. • Measure from outside trim to outside trim. • Record which walls are exterior walls, and how thick those walls are, for plumbing and insulation purposes. • Note if asbestos or lead paint may be present.
Floors & Ceilings • Measure the ceiling height from the finished floor to the existing ceiling at a couple of different areas. • Measure from finished floor to the bottom of existing soffits. • Are there any can lights that will interfere with the crown molding or the valance? • Note what type of existing floor you have as well as the structure below the floor (slab, framed floor system over another level of the home, type of ceiling in the room below).
Windows • Measure window heights, widths and distances to the sidewall end, to the ceiling and to the floor. • Measure from outside trim to outside trim. • Include distances between windows
Doors • Measure any door heights, widths and distances to the sidewall end, to cabinetry and to the ceiling. • Measure from outside trim to outside trim. • Record the placement of hinges, which way the door swings (in or out) and which side the door opens.
Appliances (Kitchen) • Locate the centerline for your sink, cooktop and oven by measuring from the nearest sidewall to the center of the cabinetry. • Indicate the type of cooktop. • Note locations of any future appliances. • Note the placement of the icemaker. • Measure the height and width of all existing appliances.
Plumbing and HVAC • Record the centerlines of plumbing, measuring from the nearest sidewall to the center of the sink. • Record the general location of all heat and air supplies and any returns. • Note the hood venting—is it in the wall, from the ceiling or from the floor? • Note where all gas lines are as well as exterior sprinkler heads.
Bathroom Fixtures • Record the center location of the water closet and the vanity sink. • Measure the width, height and depth of the tub, shower and vanity. • Locate the wall and area that has the showerhead and valve. • Note where access to Jacuzzi controls will be (for maintenance and repair). www.atlantahomeimprovement.com

Layout
Kitchen Layouts According to the NKBA’s guidelines, there are four basic kitchen layouts: galley, L-shape, U-shape and G-shape. How each layout functions is based on the concept of the work triangle, or the distance between the three main work areas: sink, cooktop and refrigerator. For maximum efficiency, the work triangle should follow these guidelines: • Each triangle leg should be 4-9 feet long, and the sum of the three should not exceed 26 feet. • Cabinetry should not intersect any triangle leg. • General traffic patterns should not interfere with the work triangle. • Islands should have at least 3-4 feet of aisle on each side. Avoid placing the island between two points of the triangle; it will get in the way.
Editorial Resources
Galley (Two Wall)
The galley consists of two facing walls and usually is found in condos and apartments. The work triangle is efficient, but the aisle between the two countertops is narrow. This option is a good plan for one cook.
U-shape
The U-shape kitchen uses three walls, or two walls with an attached peninsula. This layout is very efficient because it allows the cook to pivot among the stations, provides excellent storage and can accommodate two cooks. A center island often is included in the larger versions of this plan. www.atlantahomeimprovement.com
1213_001_032_KBPlanner.indd 29
L-shape
In this kitchen design, two perpendicular walls contain the three main elements— sink, cooktop and refrigerator—to create a natural triangle. The L-shape kitchen generally will have ample counter space and lends itself to the inclusion of an island.
G-shape
This option is basically a U-shaped kitchen with a fourth wall, which is usually opposite the sink and contains additional appliances, a pantry or a desk. Generally one of the largest layouts, the G-shape allows for more amenities than any other layout.
