The interior of a modern kitchen is hard to imagine without kitchen cabinets - the main part of the workspace. They are designed to store dishes, various kitchen appliances, products, and in addition, for built-in household appliances - dishwashers, ovens, microwave ovens.
Every housewife will tell you that she simply needs kitchen cabinets. Floor models that combine several functions at once are doubly necessary. Usually they are mounted on adjustable legs, their height is one hundred to one hundred and fifty millimeters. Kitchen cabinets are either metal or plastic. They are covered by a plinth of an appropriate height. Its use is necessary when installing in the cabinets of a washing machine or dishwasher. Metal legs do not need to be covered with a plinth, since they themselves are a decorative element.
Kitchen cabinets (floor samples) should have a height that is primarily determined by the growth of the hostess. For most of the work performed by women of average height (160 cm), the mosta suitable height is 850 mm. If the user is slightly taller, the height of the cabinets is increased with the help of easily adjustable legs. If a woman's height is much higher than average, then it is necessary to increase the height of the cabinets (it is better to make such furniture to order). For example, in Scandinavia, a single height standard for kitchen floor cabinets has been adopted - nine hundred millimeters.
It is worth noting that at present there is a tendency to place work surfaces at different levels (this is especially true for large kitchens). This design decision is explained by the fact that for various operations in the kitchen there is a certain comfortable height. Therefore, the sink is located about fifteen centimeters above the surface on which the food is cut, and the hob is five to fifteen centimeters below it. At this height, the cooking process for the hostess is more convenient, as it provides the optimal height for stirring food.
Floor-mounted kitchen cabinets usually have a depth of 60 to 65 cm. If there are protrusions, pipes, the standard depth can be reduced.
The corner floor standing kitchen cabinet is quite popular these days. Quite often it is equipped with "trolleybus" doors. Its main advantage is that the inside of such a cabinet is easily accessible even without "carousel shelves". It is convenient to use under the sink. The fact is that in our houses most often all communications are located in the corner, so you don’tyou will need to spend time and money moving them to another place.
A floor-standing kitchen cabinet with a drawer can be considered a small pantry - it is so roomy. Such cabinets are of two types - the same drawers from top to bottom, or on top a small drawer for small items and several large drawers.
The right kitchen floor cabinets will help you create the kitchen you've been dreaming of. For their manufacture, a wide variety of materials and colors are used. They are able to refresh the kitchen space - make it more spacious and functional.
