Kitchen Island Installation
A good island is a work surface, a table and a gathering spot. We size it to your room so aisles stay comfortable, build it with storage and seating that fit, bring power to it and top it with the surface you choose. If there is no room for an island, we say so and suggest a peninsula or a cart.

About kitchen island installation
How big can my island be?
It depends on the aisles around it. A common guide is about three to four feet of clear space on every working side. Our Layout Lab tool checks your numbers.
Can the island have a sink or cooktop?
Yes, with plumbing, gas or electrical planned in advance. Those need to be set before the floor and counter go in.
Do islands need outlets?
Most local codes ask for at least one outlet at an island or peninsula. We plan the outlets so they are safe and tidy.
