Function & ErgonomicsSpectrum Cabinet Gallery
At this stage of planning, your new kitchen or bathroom plans are becoming clear. But have you thought about function and ergonomics? This is one more reason to hire the seasoned designers at Spectrum Cabinets Gallery. Some homeowners face mobility challenges that need to be worked into their renovation plans. Whatever your circumstances, your cabinets should be custom built to reduce the strain of movement. Over time, lifting, bending, and reaching for heavy items can precipitate chronic pain conditions in your shoulders, arms and back if your kitchen is not designed for ergonomic efficiency. Customized counter height for food preparation and focus on ease-of-reach for cabinetry is one of our goals, and if you are a leftie, we design cabinets specifically for you.
