Description
The NKBA Kitchen and Bathroom Planning Guidelines with Access Standards is the industry standard reference for kitchen and bath design professionals. Written by the National Kitchen and Bath Association, this second edition has been updated to reflect the latest codes and standards, including the 2015 International Residential Code and ICC A117.1-2009. With thirty-one kitchen guidelines and twenty-seven bathroom guidelines, this book provides full planning recommendations, code references, and access standards for creating safe and efficient designs. The revised guidelines cover essential areas such as cooking surface clearance, electrical receptacles, ventilation, ceiling height, shower size, and more. Expertly redrawn illustrations using 2020 Design and Chief Architect Software provide clearer visual reference for real-world application. This comprehensive guide is based on a composite of historical review, current industry environment, practices, emerging trends, consumer lifestyles, research, and building codes. It offers valuable insights into designing kitchens and bathrooms that are beautiful, functional, accessible, and safe.
