Difference between Modular kitchen & Semi Modular Kitchen :

In India, it is common for people to use time “Modular Kitchen” for all purpose. However technically there is difference in Modular Kitchen & semi modular kitchen. Max to max  Indian Home Owners who are buying Modular kitchen are buying really “Semi Modular Kitchen”

Lets understand the difference: Modular Kitchen allows you to dismantle whole Kitchen, move it to a new apartment & Fix it again. It is that simple. Actual with Semi Modular Kitchen there is minor difference.

lets say you purchase a new House – inside kitchen, builder has given you kitchen platform made out of tiles/marvel with Granite Counter top. This are hard built inside your kitchen by Civil work professionals. On top of this existing platform you can added Trolleys, shutters which Machine pressed with cool Finish. Hence what you have really done is used a platform made using Civil work and added Trolleys shutters, cabinets  all made out as per Modular Kitchen standards. if you were planning to move, you can dismantle trolleys, cabinets, shutters and perhaps try to use it at new place. Platform granite and marble you can dismantle. You either leave it as it is or break it apart. But you cannot re use it. Secondly. lets say you moved and carried your trolleys, cabinets, shutters etc to new place. You can re use these items only if they fit in to new platform. What if this new place had marble or granite platform already built for different size and combination of trolleys?

However with fully Modular Kitchen, there is no Civil work involved  give me a empty Kitchen with all required electrical & plumbing points – I will setup Modular kitchen in 2 – 3 days. You can dismantle it, carry it when you move, and fix it again.

In Indian homes by default – we use “Semi – Modular Kitchen”  – we call Civil professionals to build a Kitchen Platform out of tiles with a Granite Counter top & then we call in Modular Kitchen Specialist to complete the kitchen.
