Choosing a New Range
3 Fuel Types and 3 Types of Ranges If you're building or remodeling and thinking about your new range, here are some options to consider. Fuel Types Before we look at the different style types, let's consider the different fuel types of ranges. Electric and gas ranges are the basic choices. Practically speaking, however, you may not have a choice. Some homes are total electric. Even if you have both gas and electric, you may not have a gas stub or 220v electrical service near your range location which will limit you to one or the other unless you choose to pay to have a gas or electric line brought in. An option that is becoming increasingly popular is Dual-fuel. Dual-fuel ranges have gas cooking surfaces and electric ovens. Types of Ranges Freestanding RangeA freestanding range often has controls and/or clock located on a back panel that rises above the surface of the range. It also has finished side panels that allow it to be installed at the end of a cabinet run. The above Maytag freestanding range has two ovens, a configuration that is growing in popularity. Slide-in RangeSlide-in ranges have controls in the front, no back panel, and have a lip on the top which slides over the adjacent cabinet countertop on each side of the range. This gives the unit a built-in look. Slide-in ranges typically have unfinished sides. Drop-in -

BlueStar Adds Textured Finishes - Colors to Ranges
Beyond Stainless Steel BlueStar™, the manufacturer of professional cooking equipment for the home - takes color into another dimension with a new line of 10 textured paints and finishes that add depth and fresh appeal to kitchen appliances. With the addition of the Textures line, BlueStar is now available in over 750 colors and finishes, offering a new level of customization options for its discerning customers. "A big trend we've been seeing in recent years is related to texturing - in flooring, wallpaper, furniture and textiles. People want to be able to see the texture as well as feel it," says Eliza Sheffield, vice president, Marketing, BlueStar. BlueStar has been a leader in color customization for nearly a decade. Now, this appliance innovator offers a new alternative to the typical stainless steel or white finish to help people make a unique statement in their kitchens. The new Textures collection includes three textures - River, Silver Vein, Mini Texture - for each of the existing 190 colors, plus seven unique metal textures, from grey to copper and even gold to expose the sparkle and underlying metallic tones of colored paints. "Texture is a design element which may be overlooked when decorating the kitchen, but it has the ability to add a novel dimension to the room's interior," says Sheffield. "Consumers are looking for new ideas to help make their kitchens more personalized, so having a unique option like Textures is truly exciting."
