Can someone recommend what height wall units should be placed above the work surface.
I am not fitting a larder unit but will be fitting a tambour unit on top of a base but that is likely to go right to the ceiling.
The kitchen I have removed had 900mm wall units which nearly went to the top of the ceiling, the remaining gap had been filled with a filler panel.
The new units are the standard 720mm, they will have a 35mm cornice and
35mm pelmet fitted, the current height from the worksurface is 1440mm but this is 30mm worktop to be replace by 40mm.I have seen some people on the site give figures of 430 upwards to 600, the latter is a total no go in a house that does not have high ceilings.
What would look best for this kitchen, taking into consideration the height of the ceiling and the addition of cornice and pelmet,it's not the biggest kitchen at around 13 x 10
Also is it best to get the tiling done before adding the cornice/pelmet or best to fit these and get the tiler to work around them
I was also concerned about the height with regards to the units near the gas burner, some hob fitting instructions state any units either side must be say 430mm for example but some instructions dont state anything as such, I phone Corgi on the matter and eventually a guy said in that case Corgi guidlines would be 460mm but to be honest he didnt sound that sure of himself and took an age to answer.
Any info appreciated
Thanks
