Island with cooktop
An island cooktop combines a floor-routed utility, heat clearances and either downdraft or overhead extraction in one cabinet plan.
What decides it
Extraction, heat clearances and the utility path all converge in the middle of the room. The hood or downdraft choice must be made early enough to coordinate the ceiling or floor work it requires.
Why this is worth doing properly
A good island gives you prep space, storage and seating without taking away the aisle. We size it from the clearances outward, then plan the drawers, overhang, power and any plumbing inside it.
What you get from us
- 01
Solve the layout before ordering
Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.
- 02
Specify appliances before cabinets
Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.
- 03
One crew throughout
The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.
- 04
Nothing hidden without approval
If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
