Need help with my GAS COOKTOP
Comments (5)Hi Italian girl, I know you have done a Reno recently. Did u go with the gas cooktop? I have made my benchtop 920 just ordered my kitchen and didn’t think about the extra 50mm gas cooktop on the top. What height did you end up going? And is it around the sizes I have done my at? Thank you Spewing I didn’t go the standard 900mm height....See MoreStove on island & induction cooktops - cost effective to run?
Comments (6)the reason i love my new induction cooktop is the timer!! put a pot on the stove, set the timer then wander away knowing that the timer will save the saucepan from destruction...don't know about the cost of running the induction, only used for minutes every day so no appreciable cost issues..Love the new down draft exhaust fans and would happily pay extra for one in an open plan kitchen area if you expect to use it while cooking and trying to talk at the same time...it can't easily be added later so i suggest you economise elsewhere...good luck with your new home...See MoreInstantaneous gas vs solar hot water
Comments (3)Hi Tanya. I only just came across your post. Another option is to have an electric hot water heat exchange unit (installed outside) and induction cooktop. Do you currently have solar panels on your roof? If you did, then you could utilise the solar power generated to heat your water, during daylight hours of course, for showers, dishwasher and washing machine. I'm uncertain how much electricity it takes to run induction cooktop though. Probably for short periods it wouldn't be too bad. A great feature about induction is that it boils water and heats pans very quickly. If you don't already have solar panels and you aren't considering it, then possibly the solar hot water unit suits your needs better. I would caution you to find out in advance how much it will cost to hire a crane and crane operator and whether it's by the hour, half day or full day. Usually they also charge a transport fee. I think if you were to repost your query in Design Dilemna you would get a whole lot more people offering advice. I hope this helps....See MoreStone Splashbacks and Gas Cooktops
Comments (12)Hi HU-826087018 and dreamer To try and clear up this situation as there is some wrong or unclear advice being offered here. First, as LOL S said correctly Gas Regulations require 200mm clearance away from any combustible material from the outer edge of the Burner. Secondly "Stone" is not the same as "Reconstituted Stone" where natural stone is not combustible so the clearance regulation here does not apply, however Reconstituted Stone (like Caesarstone, etc, etc) are combustible because these materials contain combustible polymer resins to bind the pulped-up stone particles together, hence the name "Reconstituted Stone".Caesarstone and other types of Reconstituted Stone will burn so it needs to be 200mm away from the Gas Burner, irrespective of the type of wall behind it dreamer. So to try and alleviate your stress HU-826087018 and determine if you have a problem, you need to ask if your splashback is Natural Stone or is it Reconstituted Stone and if it is Reconstituted Stone then you have a problem that your Builder needs to rectify immediately. I hope this helps, Malcolm....See MoreJo Wst
