What are kitchen extensions?

Kitchen extensions are a great way to add more space to the kitchen, whether you want a bigger island or just need more storage. Loyalty Kitchen Fitters is here to answer all of your questions about kitchen extensions and help you make the best decision for your home.

Benefits of kitchen extensions

Many benefits come with adding an extension to your kitchen! You can create a large open-plan living area, which will be perfect if you entertain at home often. It’s also easier on the eye when it comes to decorating because there aren’t any harsh boundaries between rooms-everything flows together beautifully no matter what style you opt for. If children regularly use the kitchen as their playroom, then this could be ideal too, because they won’t feel so separate from adults.

When are kitchen extensions not advised?

It’s important to consider the practicalities of having a larger living space and whether it makes sense for your family or would create more problems than benefits. For example, if you have an older home that isn’t easily accessible, then this could cause complications with building work as well as other areas, such as parking, especially if you live in a city. In addition, there is always going to be disruption when making changes like these, so although it might seem worth it now later on down the line, you may rethink what was initially done!

What is involved in kitchen extensions?

Many things need to be considered before starting any type of extension project. They include

Planning

In the planning stage, we provide a free consultation where we discuss with you any possible changes to the kitchen. We will also be able to give advice on what materials are best suited for your extension, depending upon usage and the overall design of the kitchen.

How do I survive a kitchen extension?

Kitchen extensions can be stressful at times, but there are lots of ways to ensure that the entire process is as smooth as possible:

– Keep organised with all documents by using one document box for each area (planning permission, plans etc.).

– Make sure every room has adequate ventilation

– Ensure that you have a clear idea of the final design before work begins.

– Make sure to keep your kitchen appliances covered with dust covers when they are not in use during construction periods.

This will ensure that no damage is caused and prevent any unnecessary stress!
