Thermofoil Cabinets

Thermofoil;
Is a plastic coating which is thermoformed to a MDF core material.
Thermofoils are nearly "bullet proof" say many Manufacturers and they are VERY tough indeed.  Many thermofoils that I have worked with in the past seem to take a great deal of abuse.  However, when thermofoils are over exposed to heat they tend to peel and melt, this is understandable as they are thermoformed to the the MDF cores in the first place.  Certain precautions must be taken when you have thermofoils in your home; don't have candles, coffee pots, toasters, you get the idea directly against/under your thermo materials. 
Thermofoils are one of the most affordable materials to work with, saying that you will also pay a great deal more for a thermofoil with a horizontal bamboo or metalic pattern then say an ordinary textured white thermofoil.

Kitchen Conveniences & Techno Burst

Kitchen Conveniences
Seen to the left is the
double waste bin with two
smaller organic bins with lids.  This unit
fits a 24” wide cabinet.  Not seen 
in photo is the metal lid that
is mounted inside the cabinet
below the drawer line.  
Today I would say this is a common
feature seen in most renovated 
kitchens.

Photo Measures
Since I have purchased my IPAD2 (with camera) I have been using this app.  I would say it works well for taking quick measures and capturing those images that could be tough to remember.  This app allows us to create various dimensions  and notes on the picture taken.  I find it to be a nifty tool for my industry however I don't think it could replace a pen and paper when working with large scale measures ,ie.large kitchens  Works great for small measures such as a  washroom but it is difficult to get the right shot when space is tight.  This app goes for $4.99 on the app store.  App functions as expected but I will be watching the store for new tools...something a bit more pretty.

Introducing TECHNO BURST

Today I was asked by a colleague "which app I used on my iPad to note pdfs and drawings".  I realized this would be the perfect opportunity and platform to help point my peeps in the right direction and provide useful links and how-to's.  Techno Burst posts will be, in some way, related to the design industry and my specialty, Kitchen Design.  It may include; iPad apps, kitchen technology, software how-to's and what ever else I can think of to share.





 To answer your question Heather, the best app I have found to note pdfs, hold pdfs in an organized manner and to present in a professional manner is iAnnotate PDF.  You will find it in the App Store for a whopping $9.99...but it's worth it.
