Stunning Distance Between Benchtop And Overhead Cupboards

Cabinets can be deeper if they contain under-bench appliances like dishwashers or large under-mount sinks - or shallower if space is limited.

Distance between benchtop and overhead cupboards. For those with large kitchens consider having 2 or 3 separate zones. Read the manual of the cooktop and rangehood manufacturers and follow their instructions. This is the distance between the finished floor and the top of the benchtop.

The minimum required height between your benchtop and overhead cabinets is 600mm and the depth of overheads should be 320mm. A nominal ventilation gap at the front of the safety barrier is recommended and a 150mm minimum ventilationaccess gap between the rear of the safety barrier and back cabinetry are also required. The ideal length of the work triangle lies between 4000 mm 13 and 6000 mm 19.

The microwave shelf is 500mm above the benchtops to keep the microwave at a useful level. Benchtops are generally 900mm from the ground. These measurements are a guide only.

Range hood height does not depend on fan size. As for the cupboards height from the benchtop you can dictate how much clearance they should go if you want 500 or 500 mm so be it. The area under the microwave is where we have the coffee machine and chargers for phones and iPad etc.

For example the Standard states that the clearance between the top of the bench top and the underside of a wall cabinet must be at least 450 mm. The height of kickboards beneath the bottom of the cabinets should ideally be between 100mm and 200mm. However if you wish to install a gas cooktop you need to allow for at least 650mm.

STANDARD KITCHEN BENCHTOP HEIGHT The recommended standard kitchen benchtop height is 900mm - 20mm. Standard wall cabinets are 720mm high. Between a gas cooking appliance and a combustible surface shall be.
