“In Solid Wood Kitchens, How Much Space Do End Panels Take Up?” Question Of The Week 31.07.16
“In Solid Wood Kitchens, How Much Space Do End Panels Take Up?”
This week we received a question from Bruno in Builth Wells, who would like to know how much space to leave for end panels in solid wood kitchens.
QUESTION:
“I’m currently planning my kitchen design and I would really like to add in an end panel as a feature at the end of the row of oak cabinets. I haven’t got a lot of space available, so I need to be precise in my measurements. How much space does an end panel take up?”
ANSWER:
Hello Bruno,
Thank you for your interest in our solid oak cabinetry and end panels. End panels make an attractive finishing touch for any kitchen and can be sanded, lacquered or painted to complement your cabinet frontals. They are also available in two styles: smooth and flat (standard), or tongue and groove.
Our standard end panels can be purchased in a standard width of 620mm, in a choice of two heights: 995mm or 3000mm. This means a standard end panel can be added to either a base cabinet or full height cabinet. Standard end panels are 27mm thick, which should be factored into your kitchen plan if you choose this style of panel.
Our tongue and groove end panels are available in a wider range of sizes. These can be purchased as 325mm wide panels with a height of 570mm, 720mm or 900mm (suitable for finishing a run of wall cabinets), or as a 600mm wide option with a height of either 995mm or 3000mm. Tongue and groove panels are 18mm thick, which should be accounted for in your kitchen design if you opt for this particular style.
Walls are often not perfectly vertical, particularly in older properties; as such – when taking measurements – be sure to verify what the distance will be between cabinets and kitchen walls at both the top and the bottom of the units.
End panels can be installed to create an attractive overall finish to your kitchen, or to disguise an appliance fitted at the end of a run of cabinets. If you would like to do the latter, we recommend purchasing a moisture barrier to deflect any heat and moisture emitted by the appliance.
