Synopsis

It is a large industry, and it also is complicated. The function of other rooms in a house are defined by the room's furnishings, and those furnishings can be moved at will. A living room can be changed to a dinning room at any time, or a den to a home office, simply by moving the furnishings. The kitchen differs in that it must be both designed and installed. It is permanent, with permanent plumbing and wiring that must be fitted to it percisely. Remodeling a kitchen, therefore, demands a special level of training for the designer/sales person who must combine many s and several trades to merge the needs and budget of a client with the products and physical limitations of the space available. Topics Covered In This Publication Include: How to sell, plan and design kitchens; Layout techniques; Lighting, venting, plumbing, electrical and consruction basics; Cabinets and countertops, what they're made of, how and where to use them; Appliances, fixtures and fittings, types and design factors; How to control the job and relate to the customer as a true professional.
