Whatever kitchen you have, large or tiny, to achieve the most comfortable arrangement, you will have to carefully measure the entire room, and then, taking into account the results obtained, draw up a project. There should be no unaccounted moments in the plan. Otherwise, then it turns out that your stove is lower (higher) than the working surface, and the hanging cabinets do not allow you to place a slow cooker or food processor.
There are different standards
Of course, we are used to relying on generally accepted standards. We usually follow them, picking up a ready-made
kitchen set. The dimensions of the cabinets, however, may vary. Probably few noticed that the furniture made in Asian countries (the same China) is slightly lower, but the Scandinavians, on the contrary, take a higher bar. Russian manufacturers adhere to average parameters.
These figures did not come from the air, they take into account the average population growth, ergonomics, safety requirements, as well as features of the national layout of kitchen facilities. Therefore, do not be lazy to ask the consultant for the exact size of the kitchen cabinet for sale.
Floor constructions
Floor modules are the most important component of the headset; in addition to shelves for storing food and utensils, they also include a hob, sink, and dishwasher. In addition, it is also a work surface. Therefore, an important indicator in this category of products is height.
The size of the kitchen cabinet of Russian or Italian origin is 85 centimeters. It has already taken into account the height of the base, and the thickness of the countertop, and the parameters of the box itself. If it is necessary to “catch up” this value to 90 centimeters, then it is necessary to increase the thickness of the countertops or, for example, to equip the design with adjustable legs. Or search for models made by Scandinavian standards.
The width of the structures varies, but the depth is usually held at around 55 centimeters. Such constancy is understandable. If you reduce the depth to the same 45 centimeters, you will have to look for special narrow models of household appliances (washing machine, dishwasher).
The size of the kitchen cabinet-columns is determined by the overall design of the kitchen set. He should not protrude beyond the boundaries of a single line. As for standards, here we see the following numbers: 210 or 240 centimeters is the height, and 60 centimeters is the width.
And we will hang it on the wall
The complete set of the headset necessarily includes
kitchen wall cabinets. Their sizes are determined by the upper and lower boundaries. Difficult? Not at all. We measure 55 or 60 centimeters from the countertop - here we have the lower limit. The top line is approximately 210 or 240 centimeters from the floor. The depth of these structures is less than that of similar flooring. It is approximately equal to 32 centimeters.
Of course, the above dimensions are only recommended. In life, everything is much more complicated. There are too non-standard rooms. There are people of non-standard growth. There are people with disabilities. Therefore, ultimately, the size of the kitchen cabinet is determined not only by generally accepted parameters. The main thing is convenience, comfort and safety.
