Island Kitchens in San Miguel de Salinas

We have been fitting island kitchens in San Miguel de Salinas for years, so we know the homes in the area. You get a fixed price before we start and the delivery date in writing.

In San Miguel de Salinas, there are two types of houses: the village house, with an independent kitchen, high ceiling, and thick walls, and the urbanization house, which is a single-story with the kitchen attached to the living room. In the former, the most requested change is to remove the wall that separates it from the dining room; in the latter, to redo the fronts and countertop without touching the installation. Being inland, the saltpeter does not press, and the fittings last longer.

An island needs space and requires installations. Before selling you one, we tell you if your kitchen has the necessary space, and what is needed to bring water, drainage, or extraction to the center of the room.

Cocina en isla

When does an island fit and when does it not?

The practical rule: at least 90 cm of free space is needed on each side of the island to allow passage with the oven open, and 120 cm if two people are going to cross each other while cooking. Below that, the island becomes an obstacle.

In practice, this means a kitchen at least 3.5 meters wide. If your kitchen measures less, we will tell you and suggest a peninsula, which gives almost the same result while occupying half the space.

What nobody tells you: the installations

Putting the sink or the cooktop on the island is not just moving a piece of furniture. The water and drainage have to run underneath the floor, which means lifting it or raising the island on a platform. The extraction is the same: it either goes to the ceiling or runs through the floor with recirculation.

All of this is decided before starting and is included in the budget. It is not an extra that appears halfway through the work.

Will an island fit in your kitchen in San Miguel de Salinas?

It comes down to the floor plan, and round here they tend to be small or open to the living room. In large flats in the town centre and some duplexes you usually have to free up space first: what we are asked for most in the area is relocating the services and replacing the units entirely.

If the measurements do not work, we tell you at the visit and put a peninsula on the table instead, which takes half the room.
