Difference Between Modular Kitchen and Carpenter-made Kitchen

Kitchens at home feature appliances such as fridges, microwave ovens, stoves, gas connections, chimneys, as well as containers filled with grains and food supplies. The kitchen would end up looking like a mess if all items were kept without countertops and floors. To neatly organize all kitchen items, people often install cupboards and storage cabinets. One may choose between installing modular kitchen layouts through Bhubaneswar modular kitchen dealers or hiring a carpenter to build a customized kitchen. Below are a few points that highlight the important differences between both types of kitchens.

1. Unlike modular kitchens, which are all made by machine and assembled by hand, an unfinished carpenter-built kitchen is entirely at the discretion of the carpenter. If you choose to purchase carpenter-made kitchen cabinets and shelves over a factory-made modular kitchen design, the chance of human error is much higher.

2. In addition to installing the modular kitchen at their client’s location, modular kitchen dealers in Bhubaneshwar are also able to guide their clients on how various cabinets can be disassembled and reassembled for cleaning or moving. Alternatively, carpenter-built kitchen cabinets are usually single units and cannot be disassembled.

3. Modular kitchens are easy to clean due to their disassembly feature. Different drawers can easily be removed to clean in between cabinets and sections to keep the kitchen space fresh and clean. However, the carpenter-made kitchen is ideally not as easy to clean because it is not feasible to remove the cabinets every time, and the wood used to build carpenter-made kitchens may over time become damaged because of constant exposure to heat and moisture. This type of issue is unlikely to happen with modular kitchens since the final product is well laminated to resist moisture damage.

4. It is preferable to have a carpenter create your kitchen, but the cost may vary according to the carpenter’s skills. A modular kitchen layout is generally on the expensive side, however, manufacturers usually offer a minimum warranty period during which, should something go wrong with it during this period, they will do the necessary repairs and maintenance. Before making any purchase, be sure to read the warranty terms and conditions.
