An island is more than a box with a counter on it
A lot of islands get added as an afterthought and end up in the way or underused. In Burlington's older bungalows, floor space is often tighter than in newer builds, so island size and placement matter more.
Clearance planning
We check walkway clearance on all sides before finalizing island dimensions, especially in older, smaller kitchens.
Sink and cooktop conversions
Adding a sink or cooktop to an island means running plumbing and electrical through the subfloor or a raised base, which we plan before the cabinets go in.
Seating and storage balance
We help you decide how much of the island goes to overhang seating versus drawers and cabinet storage based on how your household actually uses it.
Subfloor support
Heavier islands, especially with stone tops, sometimes need extra subfloor support. We check this on older homes with wood subfloors before we build.
An island that looks good in photos but blocks the whole kitchen
Islands are often sized to the room dimensions on paper without checking real-world clearances for appliance doors, walkway traffic, or where people actually gather.
We plan clearances against how you use the space
We walk through how your household actually moves through the kitchen, appliance door swings included, before locking in island dimensions. The goal is an island that gets used every day, not one that gets stepped around.
How an island project runs
From layout to finished install.
- 1
Layout and clearance check
We measure the room and check clearances against appliance doors and walkway paths before finalizing size.
- 2
Plumbing and electrical planning
If you want a sink or cooktop in the island, we plan the rough-in work needed through the subfloor or base.
- 3
Build and install
Island base gets built or installed, then plumbing and electrical get connected before counters go on.
- 4
Counter and finish
Countertop gets templated and installed, then hardware and any seating overhang gets finished off.

Kitchen island questions
Can I add a sink or cooktop to an existing island?
Often yes, depending on subfloor access for plumbing and electrical. We check feasibility during the site visit before quoting.
How much clearance does an island need?
We generally aim for at least a metre of clearance on all working sides, more where appliance doors swing open, and adjust based on your specific kitchen.
Does my island need extra floor support?
Heavier stone countertops on larger islands sometimes need added subfloor support, especially in older homes. We check this before the build starts.
Can you build an island that matches my existing cabinets?
Yes, we match finish and hardware to your existing kitchen, or intentionally contrast it if that's the look you want.
Do you serve areas outside Burlington for island builds?
Yes, we build and install islands across the GTA, not just in Burlington.
