I have been lurking on this site now for 2+ months... I wish I had started posting my questions earlier :) We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation and addition. Just to give you some background info--we bumped out the existing kitchen about 15 feet to make room for an eat-in kitchen area (which will now be open to our existing familyroom), added some windows, and a few skylights (which are situated kind of between the eat-in area and where the actual kitchen starts). We plan on using stainless steel appliances, either chrome or nickel hardware, and a light colored granite (perhaps something that has flecks of golds, grays, etc...)... maybe some sort of light grey on the wall in the eat-in area (not a ton of wall space in the kitchen area)....not sure about backsplash yet, and our floors are a white oak stained in Ipswich pine (not super light, but not super dark either). Even with all of the windows and skylights, our kitchen doesn't get a ton of sunlight. Our design includes a peninsula (which separates the kitchen from the eat-in area at the very rear of the house). Our home is colonial style and we are going with inset cabinets from Shiloh. We are supposed to be finalizing the cabinet order tomorrow...yes, I know... nothing like waiting until the last possible minute to make key decisions. :)
I LOVE our layout but I am torn between the polar white (which is a brighter white) and the soft white. Ive been able to find some pics online of soft white (and fewer of polar). In some pics the soft white looks a bit beige (which isn't the look Im going for; in other pics, the polar looks incredibly bright white (again, which isn't exactly the look Im going for).
Has anyone here used (or seen firsthand) Shiloh cabinets in either the polar or soft white? What were/are your initial reactions to these colors (especially in light of my inspiration pics and what Ive described about our design above?) 'd love your thoughts one way or another... Im just so torn and I dont want to regret my decision.. though Im sure either would be fine (I hope). I'm just horrible when it comes to color choices (and lucky me.. I have about 6 more rooms in need of paint after I finish this kitchen project. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated! -Angela
Polar White marble combines a cool white base with a striking crystalline appearance. Quarried from marble mines in Vietnam, this marble is considered the whitest in the world.
This gorgeous stone is available in tile, mosaic, and trims in both Honed and Polished. Polar White marble is inspiring the most elegant designs because of its cost-efficient price and long-lasting durability.

Our white papers offer you a thorough description of the scientific background of our technologies and the proprietary features in Polar products. They were written to give you a deeper understanding of how our products and solutions work. Each white paper comes with a short abstract and a full-length downloadable PDF.
Polar Elixir white paper is about Polar optical heart rate (OHR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurements. For both measurements the technical as well as physiological background for development are presented. White paper also includes methods and results on validation studies made against accepted reference methods. User benefits of SpO2 rewiev the meaning of results and gives indications on how to to use and interpret the measurement values.
Polar Wrist-ECG white paper is documentation on physiological as well as technical background on electrogardiogram (ECG) measurement and tells about Polar development for wrist-ECG test. Measurement principle and technical solution are presented. White paper also includes methods and results on ECG signal quality and R-R-interval accuracy studies made against Holter monitoring. Discussion part of white paper review the performance of Polar wrist-ECG test and meaning of results.
Body temperature is a key indicator of health because changes in body temperature often signal disturbances in body homeostasis. This white paper provides an overview of body temperature regulation and highlights the employment of Polar technology for measuring skin temperature from wrist. It also describes how nightly skin temperature is visualized on Polar devices.
Polar Work-rest guide feature is based on heart rate measurement during training. The algorithm behind automatically detects the highest heart rate reached during the execution of an exercise set, and performs subsequent calculations to determine a suitable recovery heart rate. Using the Work-rest guide feature enhances both the overall effectiveness and the average cardiovascular work rate of a training session.
Physical activity has many benefits to health and wellbeing.Tracking physical activity is an effective way to find out how active one really is throughout the day. Without tracking, people tend to overestimate time spent in vigorous intensities and underestimate sitting and light intensity activities.
Running Index is a simple and convenient way to determine running performance. Running Index takes speed and heart rate information and squeezes it into one validated and comprehensible number that reflects running performance. It is a powerful tool to follow changes in endurance fitness and to predict future performance.
This white paper on Polar Energy sources and FuelWise explains the scientific physiological background of key energy sources that the body uses during exercise. These sources are carbohydrates, fats and protein. Additionally, the optimal fueling guidance given by FuelWise is reviewed.
The Cycling performance test white paper describes a test that allows a user to determine cycling performance. This test uses functional threshold power (FTP) as a main parameter and requires power sensors connected to a Polar product.
Endurance running is a fundamental human skill that everyone can train regardless of age, gender or fitness level. To obtain individual training guidance, as opposed to general training guidance that is the same for everybody, some performance parameters should be known.
Athletes use vertical jumps to assess their explosive leg power. Other benefits of the jump test are automatic assessment of the recovery status of the neuromuscular functioning of the lower body, as well as training readiness guidance.
Occasional mental stress is a part of training, competitions, and everyday life. Relaxation strategies involving deep breathing, typically close to the rate of six breaths per minute, can be used to increase concentration, promote relaxation, and reduce stress.
Polar Training Load Pro consists of Cardio load, Muscle load and Perceived load. These all are based on training measurements or subjective evaluation given by user. All loads are interpreted in numerical values as well as verbally. This white paper describes the scientific background of Polar Training Load Pro, its functions, and validity.
Sleep is vital to overall health and well-being, playing an essential role in many physical and mental functions. In athletes, inadequate sleep may slow down recovery and training adaptation, impair performance and increase the risk of injury and illness.
Fitness has an important role in sports and exercise training. Exercise training targets to maintain or improve fitness. Most of the training prescription parameters (frequency, duration, intensity) depend on the fitness level of a person.
This white paper gives the physiological and technical background of calorie estimation in wrist-worn wearables. It also gives the Polar approach to energy expenditure estimation, called Polar Smart Calories, and the scientific validity of the Polar Smart Calories feature.
In order to meet demands for speed and location data, Polar has integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) into its wearable devices since 2009. Currently, location data can be determined with nearly every Polar sport and fitness device.
Training at different intensities has different benefits. Low intensity training increases fat oxidation and has several health benefits. However, research has shown that there can be large individual variation in the ability to oxidize fat during exercise and thus more individual, tailor-made determination methods are needed.
