Moisture, plumbing and poor ventilation are the main factors that could lead to long-term damage in your kitchen. It isn’t just about comfort; it’s about health and property value.
What are the most common kitchen areas at risk for mold? Under sink cabinets, behind appliances, grout lines, HVAC vents and poorly ventilated pantries or cabinets.
Designing low-maintenance and mold resistance kitchen could save your budget in long term, following you’ll find recommendations to succeed during your kitchen remodeling process:
Materials: for countertops you can consider quartz or granite, PVC or stainless steel with moisture-resistant coatings for cabinetry, porcelain tile or luxury plank (LVP) for your flooring solution and for backsplashes make sure you use sealed tile, glass or metal.
Ventilation: consider installing a high-efficiency range hood that vents outdoors, including under-cabinet vent strips, incorporate windows or skylights to allow natural ventilation and finally, add a dehumidifier for moisture control.
Cleaning and Maintenance: start using mold-resistant cleaning products and if possible, schedule regular inspections under sinks, behind appliances and near vents.
