Sizes of facades for the kitchen
You can spend an infinitely long time in a good company in the kitchen over a delicious dinner and pleasant conversations. And in order for the atmosphere to be suitable, you should choose the perfect facade for your own kitchen. Moreover, a good set is almost 100% the guarantor of perfect dishes prepared on it. Therefore, it is worth choosing the finish of the cabinets with special trepidation, paying attention to every little detail, because the design and size of the finished kitchen must bring joy to the owners.
Factory headsets are most often made according to common standards.... The typical sizes were determined based on the results of the operation of a considerable number of kitchens of various sizes.
Standard fronts for kitchens will really suit most women, because they are quite aesthetic and meet all ergonomic requirements.
Facade size of standard type
Considering the fact that the kitchens of most apartments have an area of approximately 9 m², basically all factories working in the furniture industry prefer facades with standard dimensions.
Upper cabinets:
- height - from 50 to 90 cm;
- depth - 30 cm;
- width - from 40 to 80 cm.
Bottom cabinets:
- table top:
- depth - 60 cm;
- thickness - from 3 to 5 cm.
- cupboard:
- width - from 240 to 80 cm;
- height - 85 cm;
- depth - from 40 to 80 cm;
- door swing - from 40 to 50 cm.
The gaps remaining between the cabinets indicate the size of the distance between the doors. The manufacturer himself sets the selected range, although there are no gaps in the technological standards.
So, for a box with two doors, the gap is from 3 to 4 mm.This information suggests that subtract the clearance from generally accepted standards.
The top cabinets placed one above the other have a gap of 4 mm. Hence, the front height of each tier will be equal to the height of the cabinet minus 2 mm. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the space between the lower edge of the facade and the floor, equal to 10 cm.
When planning the installation of the cornice, it is worth remembering the height of the upper door, which coincides with the height of the entire body, minus the 6 mm gap located under the cornice. Based on all of the above, there is a chance to personally calculate the dimensions of the facades for the kitchen. However, it is worth remembering about the nuances inherent in modules. Do not forget that for any headset, you should make a personal calculation, which will eliminate the possibility of error.
It's important to know! Each manufacturer creates its own mesh of standard sizes for headsets. Most of the positions coincide, since they are calculated according to generally accepted standards and take into account approximately the same kitchen appliances.
You can see the most popular front dimensions for kitchens in the table.

Radius facade compositions have been very popular over the past few years, which are an excellent design decoration for interiors and a spacious ergonomic element. There are separate parameters for them:
- height - 1316, 956, 716, 573, 536 mm;
- the exact width is the same as the standard dimensions shown in the table.
We measure the parameters
The modern furniture market offers not only to purchase standard facades, but also to order non-standard sets with arbitrary module sizes. It is worth considering that the price for custom-made models will be 20-30% higher.
Cost increases due to the fact that to create one such part requires a complete reconfiguration of the equipment.
Usually the customer pursues certain goals:
- getting a kitchen set that fits into a specific room;
- purchase of furniture at the lowest possible price;
- shortening the time of production processes.
All these tasks can be performed if the initial measurement was performed correctly. Having chosen a model, it is necessary to take tables of standard dimensions for modules from manufacturers, because various companies offer their own unique dimensional grids.
Remember! The completed kitchen drawing plan with the calculated facades must be compared with the table. Try to match the obtained dimensions with the typical ones.
Therefore, both the overall dimensions and the dimensions of the gaps should be selected, due to which the final price will be reduced by 20%. The fitting procedure will not completely rid you of non-standard elements, but will reduce their number.
Custom furniture
Facades for headsets with non-standard dimensions are manufactured according to non-standard dimensions. The original product is considered furniture products of curved or radius type. The former are especially often used in Italian typefaces or in combination. This solution increases the area of use and also improves the appearance of the product. In addition, this kitchen option has a long service life. In addition, the corners in traditional versions are sharp, which is unsafe for families with children.
There are several nuances that must be taken into account when ordering such modules:
- curved cabinet designs are harder to calculate;
- the price will be higher.
Corner cupboard
Self-arrangement of the kitchen space requires knowledge of the calculations of corner cabinets. The most common types are:
- outdoor type with full dimensions;
- classic cabinet;
- suspended unit.
In order to correctly calculate the size of a single-leaf swing product with a straight back wall equal to the body width, with dimensions of 600x580 mm, you must use the following formula: F = √2P², where P = S-L-16 (S - 600 mm, L - 315 mm, 16 - chipboard thickness).
The resulting calculation result will be the facade width.

Facade parameters are not furniture dimensions. When planning your kitchen, do not forget to consider the sash gaps, the thickness of the countertops and other indicators that help make the drawing correct.
remember, that the gap in the cabinet with two doors will double... If a certain value is not found in the provided table, then it is possible to forgive from 2 to 3 mm or increase the dimensions of the gaps by another 3 mm.
Bottom row
When determining the headset parameters of the cabinet located below, you should take into account the height that needs to be measured. There is a chance to find a compromise between the indicators, given the fact that convenience will be considered more important than compliance with standards.
Let's say the height of the countertop that you want to create must be 90 cm. It will include:
- flap gap that separates the table top and the doors - not less than 1 mm, but not more than 3 mm;
- the height of the kitchen worktop is 26 mm, 36 mm, even reaching 5.5–6 cm;
- the flap gap located between the eaves located at the bottom and the flaps is similar to the first parameter;
- the length of the legs varies widely - it all depends on the taste of the customer.
In cases where the width of the row becomes too large, interesting details are installed in the resulting space. An additional 16 cm can be used to mount an element in which it is possible to easily place bottles or small bags and containers with spices.
The door and its dimensions
For correct calculations of the dimensions of the door, it is necessary to use the basic parameters of the boxes, subtracting the size of the gaps from them. Let's say we have a box with a height of 72 cm and a width of 60 cm. Having set the gaps that do not reach 2 mm, we get a value of 596x716 mm.
Thus, it is possible to correctly calculate all the required dimensions, however, it will be advisable to initially familiarize yourself with the assortment and rely on the parameters of the table of furniture products of a particular company that offers exactly those models that you like.
