Standard sizes of kitchen cabinets: analysis of the main parameters

Cozy kitchen in bright colors with elegant furniture, light curtains decorated with floral print.

In the kitchen, all family members are looking for coziness and comfort. When else can you relax, if not while eating? Therefore, the selection of furniture for the kitchen is important, and the selection of furniture elements for the kitchen should be given no less attention than the bedroom suite. So, you need to properly organize the space in your kitchen. Before turning to furniture manufacturers with questions, the owners decide for themselves whether standard sizes of cabinets are suitable for their kitchen space, or they will have to work with a designer and order something individual. There are kitchens, both too small and large - full dining rooms. In any case, there is a solution for any room.

Standard sizes of kitchens are used in factories, in order to reduce the time and money needed for furniture production. After you have found a company to order furniture, a specially trained person comes, conducts all the necessary measurements, checks what is needed for the project. However, not only the features of the room and layout are taken into account, the taste preferences of the owners, the growth of family members, the design of the future interior, the presence of one or another built-in appliances also influence the choice of cuisine. Everything is taken into account to the smallest detail, because the kitchen should be convenient to use, an aesthetic appearance should be ensured.

For those who want to save money on kitchen equipment, there is such a popular innovative solution as modular systems. Kitchen sets are assembled in this case from ready-made cabinets that have standard sizes and parameters. When ordering modular kitchens, the moment is very important - each manufacturer has his own step in the production of modules from 5 to 20 cm. For example, one factory produces kitchen modules in widths of 45, 60 and 90 cm, and the other 40, 80, 120, etc. d. This factor is taken into account when buying household appliances and to determine the total length of furniture.

Working triangle rule

The rule of the working triangle in the kitchen, uniting the most important areas in the kitchen

However, the above nuances are far from all that is necessary for the proper organization of the kitchen space. Still need to use the rule of the working triangle.

All components of furniture for the kitchen, from cabinets to the sink, should be arranged based on certain rules of ergonomics, safety and convenience. It is not in vain that there is the science of Feng Shui, whose laws are taken into account by many designers. Its principles can be correlated with the rule of the working triangle, and it is easy to explain the location of things in one place or another.

Functional and ergonomic kitchen interior

The main areas in the working triangle:

• cooking surface in the form of a stove, countertop, microwave,
• the area where products are stored for a long time, its elements - a freezer, a refrigerator,
• “Clean” area, including a kitchen sink and dishwasher.

It may seem attractive to many to install a sink next to the stove, and also a refrigerator next to the sink. But this arrangement of technology is not justified. The refrigerator will be contaminated all the time, and the fat in the cooking process will splatter the washed dishes. Water from the tap will fall into a hot pan. It is inconvenient, impractical and unsafe. No wonder in Feng Shui you can not place elements of the elements of fire and water in close proximity to each other.

Standard designs of kitchen sets built using the triangle rule

The technique that affects the choice of cuisine

An example of built-in appliances for kitchen furniture

To get the most optimal design of kitchen furniture, you must initially decide which built-in appliances will be used now or a little later.

Built-in appliances include:

- hob and oven, or standard stove, etc.

The designer needs to be warned in advance about the dimensions of the built-in appliances that are selected for the kitchen.

Location near stove and refrigerator in a very small kitchen

Not recommended location near the stove and refrigerator. Because of heating, the consumption of electric energy by the refrigerator will increase, which can disable it. The distance from the countertop to the refrigerator should also be thought out, because often it gets spray during cooking, which complicates the care of the kitchen. A distance of at least 15 cm must be provided between the refrigerator and the worktop.

Do not forget about the hood. It has the following placement standards (from it to the hob):

- for electric stoves 70-75 cm,

- for a gas stove 75-80 cm.

As for ovens, to ensure quick, trouble-free opening and closing of the door, it must be installed at a distance of 1 cm from other kitchen cabinets. The oven is installed in a pencil case at eye height. This is necessary to ensure comfortable operation, and so that children can not reach it.

Floor

Floor Standing Cabinets

Such kitchen cabinets are placed on the floor, often called cabinets, cabinets, floor modules, etc. Legs for placement can be decorative or technical. In the latter case, they are covered by a socle. Floor-standing kitchen cabinets are needed in order to store heavy and large items, to build in household appliances. The main difference from the mounted modules is their depth of 60 cm. In the wall - 30-40 cm. In the floor cabinets, the thickness of the countertops is taken into account.

Wall mounted

Wall mounted kitchen cabinets with dimensions

Wall-mounted kitchen cabinets are fixed to the wall. They are also known by such names as hanging, hanging shelves or modules. Wall mounted kitchen cabinets are light and smaller than the floor. The doors can be made of wood and glass, which creates a different visual effect.

Floor and wall cabinets in the interior of a spacious kitchen

Where to begin?

Boxes are divided into lower, upper modules and pencil cases (high columns are most often designed for embedding equipment or organizing storage systems). The lower modules stand on their legs, have a large depth (most often 60 cm), are covered with a countertop. They can be oar or sliding, as well as open (shelves). Top or hinged drawers hang on the wall, can open upwards or sideways.

The project or drawing of the kitchen will include a certain list of cabinets and decorative elements. The latter may be absent - it depends on the style of the kitchen. Depending on the layout of the headset, angular elements of different types may be present in the project.

Before proceeding with the breakdown of furniture into cabinets, you need to make a measurement of the room. Then a kitchen drawing with dimensions and a plan for details will already appear. You can do this in the free online designer program.

Direct (linear) kitchen

Let's start with the standard sizes of elements (and, accordingly, facades) for a linear kitchen.

The minimum width of the facade is 150 mm. Most often these are boxes with pull-out baskets of cargo. There are also 200 mm wide crates, also with cargo baskets. Making them swinging (opening sideways on hinges) is also possible, but such a solution may be less functional and convenient.

The photo below is an example of a direct kitchen. This may look like her project with a list of all the elements. There is a two-door hinged drawer, a drawer for the oven and two cabinets with sliding elements that have different widths and heights of the facades. Please note that the wall mounted cabinets on the right side of the headset are not the same size as the lower ones.

• The minimum width of the lower module, which can be both swinging and sliding (basket or drawers), is 300 mm. Most often, elements come in increments of 100 mm (400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 mm), but sizes with increments of 50 are also found (350, 450 mm are the most common).
• The maximum width of a continuous facade (single) is 600 mm. That is, the cabinet may be 700 mm wide, but in this case there will be two facades.
• The maximum width of the drawers is most often within 1000 mm for the bottom row and 1400 for the top.

If you plan to cut furniture yourself, take into account not only the width and height of each of the elements, but also their ratio to each other. So, the bottom row, as a rule, is several times deeper than the top. This is very important: when a person is cooking, he tilts his head forward. If your upper row is deeper than usual, then you will constantly hit your head on the facade.

When planning and detailing the kitchen, it is important to remember what accessories will be used in the drawer. If this is a conventional swing module with shelves, then its dimensions practically do not matter. But if a drawer or a special tray (separator) is installed, then their parameters should be clarified. So, some manufacturers (for example, Hettich) do not offer trays with a width of 70 cm. In addition, lifting mechanisms also have their own limitations depending on their type. Technical information is provided by the hardware manufacturer.

It is also important to pay attention to the rules of ergonomics and the working triangle. A comfortable distance between the sink and stove is 70-120 cm. This is the most actively used area of ​​the kitchen, and there should be enough space to arrange the necessary utensils. Remember also that it is inconvenient to place the sink or stove very close to the wall, as there will be water splashes all the time on the wall, and the handle of the pan will not allow you to install it on the burner near the wall. It is important that there is also a piece of countertop between the sink and the refrigerator (the minimum is 15 cm, but better than 40-70 cm): it’s convenient to put what you take out of the refrigerator or what you are going to put there.

Very often the question arises about the width of the washing module. Should it be the same width as the sink? Or maybe less / more? A module for washing is necessary so that it is possible to place all the plumbing in it (pipes, possibly a filter for drinking water and / or a boiler) and a sink bowl with emergency drain. The sink wing can be placed above another cabinet! That is, it is possible to install a sink measuring 78 cm in a cabinet measuring 50-60 cm.

Corner kitchen

In corner kitchens, corner cabinets appear. They can be trapezoidal (most often have a size of 900x900) and rectangular with an inaccessible part (here the sizes can be absolutely any).

In the photo below - an example of a corner kitchen with corner two-door cabinets. Here, the size of the cabinet is 885x885, the size of the facades under the sink is 300 mm. Both facades open for easy access. The downside of this cabinet is that it takes up a lot of space.

As for the decorative elements, they are very much determined by the manufacturer. The most common are pilasters.

Their width varies from 50 mm to 150 mm (75 and 100 mm).

There are also decorative arches (or overlays) for open niches - their width is equal to the hood, that is, it is most often 600 and 900 mm (700 and 800 mm can occur).

The photo above shows the basic elements of kitchen furniture. Here is an example of a kitchen in the classical style, in which there are decorative elements: pilasters, braille (balusters), a decorative overlay on the countertop (pay attention to the end of the countertop above the leftmost lower cabinet). Decorative elements vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. In many ways, their choice is due to the machines and mills that the manufacturer has at their disposal.

Varieties of kitchen furniture

In the manufacture of standard furniture for the kitchen, presented in stores, the average height of a person is taken into account - this makes it universal and convenient to use. If the person’s height is above average, then you can adjust the height of the hinged drawers and choose floor stands of the required height.

Furniture parameters depending on height

In the kitchen you can find 4 varieties of furniture.

Table 1. Varieties of furniture

Features of the choice of furniture size: what to consider

When choosing furniture for the kitchen, the area of ​​the room is taken into account - the set should not occupy most of the free space, but at the same time it must be functional and meet safety requirements. This can be ensured by the correct choice of the basic furniture parameters - height, depth and width.

There are several criteria that you need to consider when choosing the size of kitchen furniture.

Table 2. Criteria for choosing the size of kitchen furniture

Anthropometric data of the owner of the kitchen

Conventionally, a kitchen set can be divided into several main zones:

1. The lowest, in which there is a storage area for rarely used and heavy items, equipped with drawers.
2. The lower one, which is used to store cutlery and commonly used kitchen utensils.
3. Average, in the form of a working surface, which is desirable to leave as free as possible.
4. High, which is located at eye level and is used to store dishes, commonly used kitchen utensils and products.
5. The highest, located under the ceiling and used for light, rarely used things.

Given the above, to begin with, it is necessary to determine the need for equipment of those storage areas that are located in difficult reach - the dimensions of the kitchen set will depend on this.

For greater clarity, you can draw a scan of the walls and the perspective of the selected solution.

You should also measure the room and draw it on a scale on a piece of paper, so that you can choose the most optimal variant of the arrangement of furniture. The main modules are cut out of paper and moved on the plan, choosing their successful location.

Lower Row Cabinets

As noted earlier, the bottom row of cabinets is an indispensable element of the kitchen.

Schemes of kitchen modules

The standard sizes of cabinets included in this group of furniture are as follows:

1. The total height of the lower cabinet from the floor to the top of the countertop is 850 mm.
2. The height of the base or lower point of the cabinet is 100 mm from the floor.
3. The optimum depth of the floor cabinet is 560 - 580 mm, minimum value - 460 mm. When equipping a drawer, take into account that 450 mm is the length of the drawer itself and 10 mm provides free space to the rear wall of the structure.
4. The depth of the countertop depends on the depth of the cabinet and protrudes in front of 30-50 mm, and on the back 50-100 mm. The most popular is a depth of 600 mm, since it corresponds to the parameters of typical household appliances.
5. The width of the facades varies from 300 to 400 mm.
6. The shelves inside the cabinet should be at a distance of 200 - 400 mm - This is the optimal value that can be changed at the request of the owner of the furniture.

Ergonomics in the kitchen

Prices for various types of kitchen cabinets

Properly organize the storage of dishes, small kitchen utensils and products will allow a thoughtful approach to choosing the size and height of the mounted modules.

Parameters of the upper cabinets

Of the main parameters of the mounted modules, note the following:

1. The height of the upper cabinet is 790 - 900 mm.
2. Cabinet depth varies from 300 to 350 mm, in other words, is ½ of the depth of the working surface (countertops).
3. The distance from the countertop to the bottom edge of the suspension module is not less than 450 mm. Given the growth of the owner of the kitchen, the indicated value can be increased to 550 - 600 mm.
4. The width of the facades should correspond to the width of the facades of the lower cabinets.
5. Particular attention is paid to the distance between the hood and the equipment below it. So, the distance from the gas stove should be at least 750-800 mm and 700-750 mm - from the electric hob.
6. The distance from the floor to the top of the wall cabinet can be 2100 - 2500 mm.

Corner Cabinets

Often a kitchen unit has an L-shaped arrangement. This is convenient and justified with a small area of ​​the room. Corner modules are also used for peninsular and U-shaped furniture. The purpose of these storage areas does not differ from conventional cabinets, but the dimensions and configuration of the module are an important factor.

Corner floor module

The main parameters of the corner modules are as follows:

1. The height of the modules from floor to ceiling is 1800 - 2500 mm (for column cabinet).
2. The depth of the upper drawer is 300 - 400 mm.
3. The depth of the bottom drawer is 460 - 500 mm.
4. The width of the facade is 300 - 400 mm.

Corner element of the L-shaped kitchen

Working triangle

Properly selected sizes of kitchen modules are inextricably linked with their location in space - the layout of the kitchen. The sequence of arrangement of floor and wall cabinets, as well as equipment, is dictated by the technological process of cooking, which consists of several stages: storage, washing, preparation for preparation and preparation of products. For the convenience of carrying out these steps in a short time and with a minimum expenditure of energy, an optimal arrangement of furniture with a separate functional purpose is provided: cabinets with utensils are located near the sink, cabinets with spices, dishes and auxiliary kitchen utensils near the stove.

The working triangle includes three main areas:

1. A work surface, which includes a countertop, stove, microwave.
2. Storage area consisting of a refrigerator and a freezer.
3. A clean area for washing dishes and products, equipped with a sink and dishwasher.

Working triangle rule

The location of the zones has the following sequence: refrigerator, sink, stove. Moreover, the distance between them should be comfortable, not exceeding two lengths of an outstretched arm.

Process organization

What ergonomics are talking about

Given the requirements of ergonomics, the main elements of furniture in the kitchen must meet the following parameters:

With a height of 165 cm, the height of the countertop should be 850 - 900 mm. If the growth is higher, then leaning toward such a surface will be uncomfortable. The height is chosen so that it is located 15 cm lower than the bend of the elbow.

Ergonomics ensure the safety and comfort of use of kitchen furniture

An important stage: measuring the kitchen

In order to choose the optimal sizes of kitchen furniture and the method of its location in the room, the kitchen must be correctly measured.

Table 3. How to measure the kitchen

You can develop a kitchen drawing on a computer using one of the many designer programs. A special article will tell about the main nuances of the independent production of a drawing of kitchen furniture.

Corner

Corner kitchen cabinet with dimensions

By design, these are the most sophisticated kitchen cabinets. From them begin all the miscalculations and addition of the remaining modules. Even when installed, furniture makers start with corner kitchen cabinets. To at least somehow understand the project being developed, you need to understand the dimensions of the upper and lower kitchen modules. Since sinks are always placed in corner modules, you need to study the standard sizes of sinks in order to properly select it for the parameters of a corner kitchen cabinet.

The width, height, depth of wall modules and floor stands are considered separately, since there are some differences. This is especially true for depth. Now consider the standards of kitchen cabinets.

Additional for convenient and ergonomic arrangement of equipment, sinks and cabinets

Sizes of floor kitchen tables

Optimum sizes of kitchen furniture and kitchen aisles

The most optimal height is 850 mm for housewives of medium height. Moreover, this height is:

• Base 100 mm
• Module frame (base) - 720 mm,
• Countertop thickness - 280 mm.

For tall women, the height of the floor stands can be increased to 900 mm.

About the standard of depth has already been written above:

• the standard depth of the lower kitchen cabinets is 700-900 mm,
• the standard depth of the upper kitchen cupboards is 350-450 mm.

Wall cabinet standards

Standard overhead kitchen cabinets with dimensions

The height of the front facade is 700–900 mm. The length of the mounted elements corresponds to the length of the bottom. It is important to consider the distance between the bottom of the upper modules and the surface of the countertop below should be at least 450 mm in order to ensure cooking comfort and convenience. The most optimal height between the cooking surface and the hood is 750 mm. The height of the drawers in the kitchen is:

• small - 14 cm
• medium - 28 cm
• large - 35 cm.

Dimensions of corner kitchen cabinets, standard

• The side walls in the corner kitchen cabinets are parallel to the walls in the kitchen, and both equal 600 mm.
• The side walls of the corner modules, which are adjacent to adjacent drawers, are 315 mm both.
• The front part is closed by a 380 mm wide door.
• The back is about 165 mm.

Mounted

Hanging cabinets usually include the top of the kitchen. Dishes and products are usually stored in them, as well as the exhaust pipe is masked. The peculiarity of wall cabinets is light weight, compact dimensions.

Varieties of models:

• closed - standard cabinets with doors and shelves inside,
• open - they place various jars and decorative objects in them,
• combined - furniture in which the two previous types are combined.

A separate view of the mounted model is a dryer with a grid for plates and cups and a tray below. It is usually placed above the sink.

Pencil cases

These are combined parts of the upper and lower rows of the kitchen set. Cases differ in height - they occupy all available space in the room, have either one or several doors. You can store food, cutlery, kitchen utensils in these cabinets. If the structure is hollow, a refrigerator can be installed behind its facade.

There are also combined models, in the upper and lower parts of which you can place everything you need for cooking, and in the middle (usually hollow) to build equipment.

Cabinet Dimensions

For the most part, the design of the kitchen is created by various cabinets. In a small room it is quite difficult to place all the necessary items, leaving free space for movement.

The ideal solution is to order a headset with individual dimensions, but such products are expensive, so many choose the standard sizes of kitchen cabinets.

Lower

Floor constructions have the following parameters:

• width - 30, 45, 50, 60, 80 cm,
• depth - 60 cm
• height - 85 cm (standard distance from the tabletop to the floor).

You can save space in the kitchen by choosing models not with shelves and doors, but with capacious drawers.

In width

Items of a kitchen set usually have standard sizes - widths from 30 to 50 cm - for single-door constructions, 60-100 cm - for double-leaf constructions, 90 cm and more - for corner ones. The parameters of the upper products must fully correspond to the lower row. However, models that are hung in a corner should be slightly smaller - approximately 80-85 cm.

Important Nuances

When choosing and arranging headsets around the room, it is worth remembering some subtleties:

• the greater the depth of the upper kitchen cabinets, the more firmly and reliably they need to be fixed,
• the height of the mounted models should correspond to the growth of the owners,
• the dryer for dishes in the cabinet should be selected with a grid,
• models of different heights and with uneven facades look very unusual,
• upper models with a capacious depth darken the workspace underneath,
• the height of the lower floor kitchen cabinets can be adjusted by rotating the legs.

DIY drawings

Standard headsets are convenient if you plan to install them in a medium-sized kitchen. When you need to arrange a small-sized or non-standard room layout, you should think about furniture with individual sizes. It can be ordered by specialists or made independently.

In the second case, you will first need to create a plan project by conducting the following activities:

1. Measure the kitchen (walls, floor, perimeter).
2. Draw a top view of the room on a piece of paper using the resulting dimensions in a scale of 1:10.
3. Mark the location of utilities in the drawing.
4. Place virtually household appliances.
5. Check if there is enough space to open doors, extend drawers, move chairs and move between functional areas.

After completing all the measurements, you can determine which cabinets dimensions will be required for a particular kitchen, and also decide whether pencil cases, floor or wall structures are needed.

Kitchen Tips

Recommendations, the implementation of which creates a comfortable use of the headset:

1. Choose cabinets in which there are not only boxes for storing dishes and products, but also compartments for embedding household appliances. Of course, the acquisition of such models will cost more, but their combination with the design of the kitchen will turn out to be more successful.

The dimensions of the equipment must correspond to the parameters of the width, depth and height of the kitchen cabinets.

Bottom row

When installing cabinets in the kitchen, you should know the parameters of the lower row. It does not matter the style of the kitchen - classic, loft or high-tech.

The standard sizes of the bottom row of the kitchen are usually as follows:

• standard height (total) should be 85 cm,
• the size of the base or the height of the lower kitchen cabinets from the floor - 10 cm,
• the depth of the cabinets should be at least 46 cm. If there are drawers, then the drawer itself usually takes 45 cm and 1 remains for free space to the surface of the rear wall of the modular design. Depth sizes from 56 to 58 cm are considered the most popular.
• the standard depth or width of the countertop can have three sizes - 60 cm, 90 cm and 1 meter and 20 cm,
• tabletop thickness - 28, 30 and 40 mm. This parameter determines the strength and cost of furniture,
• the level of overhang of the countertop is 30-50 mm from the front side and 50-100 mm from the back of the cabinets. Given this margin, it will be possible in the future to normally place electrical wiring and pipes that run along the wall surface,
• the width of the facades is from 30 to 40 cm. Do not install furniture with a facade width greater than 90 cm, because this will cause severe inconvenience during the operation of the furniture,
• height indicators in the spaces of the internal shelves. These parameters are usually from 20 to 40 centimeters. But they are not considered mandatory, each consumer can choose the optimal sizes at will.

The parameters have a close relationship, for this reason it is important to strictly comply with the dimensions, this will help maintain the style and functionality of the kitchen. The height of the lower kitchen cabinets can be adjusted, for example, using twisting legs. If there is a tall cabinet, then you can remove the legs from it, but if it is low, then, on the contrary, to add height, you can supplement it with legs.But do not forget about functionality, it is important that the modular kitchen looks organic. But the size of the cabinets depends on the countertop, on its parameters.

It is worth considering the size of the countertops. Worktops from 60 cm are considered to be in demand. The depth of kitchen cabinets can be from 46 cm. You should not make a worktop smaller than this size, because in the kitchen room a large and convenient work surface is required on which it will be possible to carry out the necessary work on cooking. With this surface size, it will be easy to choose cabinets for washing, a gas stove, and built-in appliances.

Worktops with a size of 90 cm or more are ideal for large kitchens. The depth of the lower cabinets is usually from 76 cm. But the countertops with a size of 120 cm or more are suitable for professional kitchens or for kitchen rooms in the loft style. Using these large surfaces, you can create an island in the room.

Top modules

Considering the dimensions of the hinged kitchen cabinets, it is also worth considering the parameters of the upper modules. This will greatly facilitate the task of choice, as well as determine at what height to hang kitchen cabinets. To ensure the functionality and full storage in the kitchen of dishes, products and other utensils, you should carefully read the rules for calculating the size of the upper modules. This will help to understand at what height kitchen cabinets are hung.

Hinged upper cabinets usually have dimensions:

• the height of the upper cabinets should be from 790 to 900 mm,
• the standard depth of the upper cabinets is from 300 mm. If the kitchen has a wide working surface, then the depth will be equal to its half,
• the distance indicator from the working area (apron area) is not less than 450 mm. But this indicator can be conveniently adjusted for growth parameters, it can reach 55-60 cm,
• the width of the facades with high upper cabinets should match the parameters of the lower row,
• the adjustment of the distance to the equipment depends on its type - to the cooker hood, it usually is about 70-75 cm for an electric stove, and for a gas stove - 75-80 cm,
• the permissible height of wall cabinets from floor to ceiling should be 210 cm. A tall cabinet can be larger, two meters 50 cm.

The kitchens with the dimensions indicated above are the most optimal for the kitchen facilities of typical high-rise buildings. The main parameters that must be taken into account are the dimensions of the distance from the lower row to the upper shelves, they must be at least 450 mm. This will help with maximum convenience to place all the necessary equipment, utensils and kitchen utensils.

How to choose the right size

The standard size of cabinets in the kitchen is usually designed for typical kitchen facilities. When choosing furniture, you must first measure your kitchen, it is important that the headset can be accurately built into the room. But at the same time, products should not interfere, cause inconvenience. If a kitchen column is installed, the pencil case should not clutter up the room and fit into the height dimensions. Of course, if the furniture is selected for the loft kitchen, then there are no special difficulties and restrictions when choosing, but for a small room it is much more difficult to pick up furniture products.

Height

The optimal height from the floor should be average from 180 to 250 cm. The height of the bottom row should be selected depending on the height. On average, it should be about 80-85 cm. When choosing, evaluate the dimensions of the products, they should be suitable for your height. If you hang the wall cabinets above the set level, then some difficulties may arise. It is important that between the top of the bottom row and the upper cabinets there is a gap of 46-50 cm.

The total height of the kitchen cabinets should not exceed 250 cm, otherwise the cabinets simply will not enter the room.

Depth

The depth of the cabinets is an important indicator that ensures the full storage of necessary items in the kitchen. The depth of standard products should be 30-40 cm, deep 50 cm. If desired, you can use a kitchen cabinet with a greater depth, the main thing is that it does not clutter up the room.

Width

Width standards are usually used in the manufacture of kitchen furniture, for this reason there is no particular difficulty in calculating this parameter. But still, it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the detailed details in advance:

• the width of single-leaf structures is from 300 to 500 mm,
• the indicator width of bivalve products varies from 600 to 1000 mm,
• in width angular constructions are usually made from 900 mm. But the width of the facades is calculated according to the geometric formula of isosceles triangles - it is 130 centimeters,
• the width parameters of the upper cabinets depend on the lower row - on average they range from 30 to 100 cm,
• the width of the facades of the upper corner structures is 85 cm.
