Cabinet

|
(furniture) A cabinet is a usually oblong piece of furniture, often
attached to a wall and made of wood, used throughout the world for
the storage of clothes or other miscellaneous items. Cabinets
usually have one or a pair of doors on the front, occasionally with
a lock; they may also contain drawers.
Cabinets may include their own top surface or be topped by an
external countertop, especially in kitchens.
Countertop (also counter top, counter topping) usually refers to a
horizontal work surface in kitchens, other food preparation areas,
and workrooms in general. It is frequently installed above and
supported by cabinets. |
Countertops can be made from a very wide range of materials and the
cost of the completed countertop can vary very widely depending on
the material chosen. The durability and ease of use of the material
often rises with the increasing cost of the material but this is not
necessarily so; some very expensive materials are neither
particularly durable nor easy to use, just stylish. Some common
materials are as follows:
Natural stones:
Granite
Limestone
Marble
Soapstone
Wood and butcher block
Stainless steel
Synthetic materials:
Pre- and postformed plastic (melamine) laminate such as Formica and
Arborite
Solid-surface acrylic plastic materials such as Corian
Synthetic stone (quartz crystals contained in a plastic substrate)
such as Silestone
Concrete
Terrazzo
Tile
Richlite
When installed in a kitchen, countertops are usually about 635 mm
(25 inches) from front to back and are designed to slightly-overhang
standard kitchen base cabinets. This allows a convenient reach to
objects at the back of the countertop. They often contain some sort
of integrated backsplash to prevent spilled liquids from falling
behind the cabinets and the face of the countertop may be decorated
in ways ranging from plain to very elaborate. They may be cut away
to accommodate the installation of sinks, cook tops, complete
ranges, or other accessories such as integrated drain boards and
cutting boards.
