Kitchen Cabinetry Clearances

Kitchen cabinetry must maintain clearances between counters and cabinets to simultaneously accommodate the human body and the use of cabinets and drawers. A total clearance of 60”-66” | 152-168 cm can comfortably provide adequate space for both a circulation zone and workzone for using cabinetry, while 48” | 122 cm is recommended for a minimum clearance without a full circulation zone. Separately, cabinetry workzones require a minimum of 36” | 91 cm and circulation zones require between 24”-30” | 61-76 cm. Kitchen countertops and cabinets are typically sized at 24” | 61 cm wide.

How deep are kitchen cabinets?

A standard base cabinet has a depth of 24 inches (61 cm). Cabinets located on the upper wall usually have a depth range of 12 to 24 inches (30.5-61 cm). Although these are the standard sizes, cabinets at a depth of up to 36 inches (91.4 cm) are also available.

How do you install kitchen cabinets?

To install kitchen cabinets, attach a support board to marked studs located on the wall. The doors and hardware of the cabinets do not need to be on at this point (their absence makes installation easier). Secure the cabinets together, make sure they are flush via clamps, and then screw them together at the stile. Lift the cabinets onto the support board. The last step of installation is to drill the cabinet frame into the wall studs and attach the cabinet into the appropriate position with screws.

How do you remove kitchen cabinets?

To remove kitchen cabinets, detach any molding and unscrew the cabinet from the soffit or ledger board. Take away all the cabinets and drawers and break the seal or caulking between the counter backsplash and wall. The countertop should be able to lift up from the cabinet.

Which kitchen fixtures require ventilation?

Kitchen fixtures that require ventilation are ranges. They need ventilation through a range hood as they are designed to remove odors and contaminants that may be released while cooking. The range hood is typically only turned on when something is burning. It is important to vent a range to the outside as health damaging particles are released when cooking.
