Answer 1

Modular kitchens are kitchens with expanable cabinets and counters, that you can add to as you can afford....they are not permanently installed. Here is a good website to further explain it.

Answer 2

The modern kitchen cabinets
Technical and design evolution have brought a new, advanced view of the modern kitchens, from a "static" concept of the built-in tiled kitchen cabinetry, to a new interpretation of contemporary house furnishing. Despite appearances, the solid and functional kitchens are the result of a time-tested series of modular elements.

Modular kitchens have the typical kitchen components (base units, wall units, column units and appliances) with a family of tile-ready components designed for application of ceramic modules, creating the possibility of adding true architectural structures to kitchen furnishings.

Modular kitchens enhance the look of a classic masonry + ceramic structure with all the advantages of the most advanced modular furnishings programs: complete modularity, flexible dimensions, exceptional practicality, accessoried cabinets, easy integration with any type of kitchen appliance, quick and simple installation.

Answer 3

A modular kitchen is a kitchen with pre-made cabinet parts that were put together to make a whole, functional kitchen design. It is much cheaper than custom built ones but it doesn't mean that you can't be adventurous with it. You can make different combinations of upper, lower and full units that can be grouped to fit each kitchen's size and style.

Answer 4

Modular Kitchen is a term used for the modern kitchen furniture layout consisting of modules of cabinets made of diversified materials which hold accessories inside, which can facilitate the effective usage of the spaces in a kitchen. Normally the units which are kept on the floor are called “floor units” or “floor cabinets” on which a kitchen worktop made of granite, marble, tile or wood has been laid for creating spaces for varied activities in a kitchen.

Answer 5

My guess, all parts of it, like dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, cupboards etc. are independent and you can make your own combination (as is common here)..

As opposed to just one chunk, with a particular set of things that are not interchangable. Just a guess, because.. that's generally what modular means in case of everything :)
