Breathtaking Distance Between Top And Bottom Cabinets
This is a hard number to play with as its based on the most comfortable working height for the average person.
Distance between top and bottom cabinets. The average countertop height is thirty-six inches- thirty-four and one-half inches for the base cabinet and another inch and a half for the counter. Of course if necessary this height can be customized to fit the needs of any owner. I have 17 12 in my kitchen and I had no idea it wasnt standard.
Calculate the size of doors needed for a ½ overlay. It is plenty of space for one or two people behind it. This figure is achieved by taking into account a 40mm worktop.
3 -Upper cabinet height standard. Although the standard is currently 18 between counter and the bottom of the upper cabinets it really is a personal preference what the space should be. The gap required between the top of the worktop and the base of the wall units is usually around 490mm.
The most common cabinet design has the doors slightly larger than the opening. That leaves us 34 inches between the back and front and 6 feet long from opening to sink. Standard installation height is 5 10 and down.
The new vanity is 36 high. The International Residential Code the building code on which most local building codes are based requires a clearance of 30 inches between the top of a range and any combustible surface but it specifies that over-the-range microwaves which are designed to tolerate less clearance should be mounted according to their manufacturers instructions. This is called the overlay and the most common overlay is ½ inch.
The back counter is 12 and the sink area is 24 I think without running back down to measure again as I forgot. Some worktops are about 30mm in height so you may end up with a gap of 500mm which is perfectly fine. The overhang is 18 inches the bar behind is 18 inches.
