Positioning of Kitchen Wall Units

Gogs · 2005-10-25T11:18:46+00:00

Can someone recommend what height wall units should be placed above thework surface.I am not fitting a larder unit but will be fitting a tambour unit ontop 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 tothe top of the ceiling, the remaining gap had been filled with a fillerpanel.The new units are the standard 720mm, they will have a 35mm cornice and35mm pelmet fitted, the current height from the worksurface is 1440mmbut 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 highceilings.What would look best for this kitchen, taking into consideration theheight of the ceiling and the addition of cornice and pelmet,it's notthe biggest kitchen at around 13 x 10Also is it best to get the tiling done before adding the cornice/pelmetor best to fit these and get the tiler to work around themI was also concerned about the height with regards to the units nearthe gas burner, some hob fitting instructions state any units eitherside must be say 430mm for example but some instructions dont stateanything as such, I phone Corgi on the matter and eventually a guy saidin that case Corgi guidlines would be 460mm but to be honest he didntsound that sure of himself and took an age to answer.Any info appreciatedThanks

Well like I said I dont think its that hard to understand what I am trying to ask. You are trying to say what I posted originally warrants an answer like make sure you dont need steps to reach the bottom shelve? Seriously?
