Kitchen set - the main component of the kitchen . Furniture is selected based on the area of the room. An important criterion when choosing furniture is the height of the kitchen headset. The height of both the lower and the upper tier is the convenience of using all components of the module. What kind of height can be kitchen furniture and how to choose, will come conversation in this article.
The optimal height of the table top
Kitchen furniture should be convenient to use. Properly selected furniture for physical data and the growth of the hostess when cooking can save her a few hours a week.
The furniture is chosen based on the area of the room. It also applies to choosing a kitchen headset. However, when choosing kitchen furniture, it is necessary to take into account the average growth of all family members. From this, the optimal height of furniture is calculated.
The kitchen set consists of the upper and lower tiers. The lower module is more functional. Floor cabinets are used for storing kitchen utensils, dishes and placement of built-in home appliances. In addition, floor cabinets are the basis for the main work surface.
The standard level of tabletop height is 85 cm from the floor. This indicator is optimal for the average growth.
Of course, the parameters of the size of floor cabinets can vary, but the value of the parameter should not be above 90 cm. Otherwise, the working surface will be simply uncomfortable for cooking.
In relation to growth
The magnitude of the floor modules with the tabletop should be such that when cooking or washing the dishes did not have to bend. Height can be slightly overestimated if necessary.
In order to choose the optimal height of growth, the following recommendations can be applied:
- With the growth of a person, no more than 150 cm choose a tabletop from 75 to 81 cm;
- When increasing in the range of 160-180 cm use a working surface at height from 86 to 92 cm;
- A human growth exceeding 180 cm assumes the presence of a working surface with a height of about 1 m.
The specified parameters are exemplary. When buying a kitchen headset, a person himself must be present, who spends more time for cooking. In this case, you can more accurately select the optimal value of the lower tier.
Tabletop height ratio with stove
The value of the floor countertops should have a certain ratio with the size of the hob. The plate height rate must be lower than the table top. Then it will be more convenient to move heavy and cumbersome dishes from the work surface on the stove, and also safely remove the hot food from the stove.
Height of the upper row
The height of the top tier of the kitchen headset is determined based on the convenience and technological features. The top cabinets have certain quantities: 72, 92, 96, 36, 46 cm. There are some models that have 1 m height to the ceiling. All furniture dimensions depend on the design and size of the room.
The upper tier contains not only cabinets, but also hood, various shelves embedded by household appliances. Therefore, when selecting the height of the upper tier device, you should follow some rules.
- Hooding height ratio over stove Must complies with fire safety rules. In the presence of an electrical cooking surface, the hood is placed at an altitude of 65 cm. If a gas stove, then the height standard is at least 75 cm.
- Determining the average height from the working surface to the bottom level of the upper modules. When choosing, you should calculate the optimal distance so that the upper tier headset does not hang over the working surface. This indicator has an average value that is 45 cm.
- The magnitude of the floor and to the top of the headset is determined by the growth of man. The optimal parameter is considered to be the indicator 130-190 cm. As a rule, the tabletop parameters are first selecting. The size of the upper tier is easier to adjust, based on this indicator. In addition, any kitchen assumes the ability to secure wall modules in a convenient position as it is necessary.
When determining the magnitude of the upper tier, pay attention to how the door of the modules opens. Some models are equipped with special retractable systems, which is also taken into account when choosing a comfortable height.
Non-standard furniture
In addition to standard kitchen furniture parameters, there are atypical model for the kitchen model. Many people may seem unusual or inconvenient to use. Nepical kitchen headsets are the basis of a well-thought-out planner, which in fact may turn out to be much more convenient.
The project of multi-level furniture focuses on facilitating the load on the back. Consider several levels for comfortable work on the table top.
- Standard Surface Surface and Sink Can be a bit raised to a level of 1 m. When the process of cutting vegetables and cooking, the spine will be more relaxed. In addition, the figure of 1 meter allows you to learn on the worktop. It also gives unloading feet and spine.
- If the work in the kitchen requires greater costs of physical forces , such as the test of the test, then the countertop can still be raised to achieve a comfortable level.
- Plate height below countertops . The ideal parameter is a value of 80 cm. Thanks to such an height, the massive pan or heavy pan is safer and conveniently removed from the plate.
You can select the tabletop height below the standard parameter. Such furniture will be an excellent option for families with children. Joint cooking will be much more convenient for the child and an adult with a tabletop of 50-60 cm. Of course, when choosing a multi-level furniture, it is worth considering the age and growth of the child.
Non-standard furniture is rarely found in the finished form. Such headsets are usually produced under the order in providing individual measurements.
How to choose the appropriate option?
The kitchen headset is chosen based on individual preferences. One of the important criteria for choosing is kitchen design. It is worth considering when choosing the height of the lower and upper tiers. Some stylistic directions require massive furniture and high top cabinets. Other styles, on the contrary, prefer shutter speed in standard parameters.
The appropriate option will be furnished with standard sizes. The basis for determining parameters has become The combination of middle human growth and requirements for placing cabinets, household appliances and other kitchen equipment.
Optimal parameters of the lower tier.
- The height of the floor of the floor: at least 85 cm, maximum - 90 cm. The value includes the thickness of the table top.
- The depth of cabinets is 45-55 cm.
- The magnitude of the width of the facade is 30-80 cm.
Standard parameters for upper tier:
- The height from the surface of the countertop is 45 cm, the height from the floor is 130 cm;
- The height of the facade varies within 30-90 cm;
- Depth - 30-45 cm.
This option with standard sizes will be the most comfortable and convenient when working in the kitchen.
The choice of kitchen headset depends not only on the stylistic direction of the kitchen and parameters. It is necessary to take into account convenience in use when cooking. It is also important, in addition, the location of cabinets and Tumb.
It is necessary to think through whether it will be convenient to open the doors of the cabinets and push the boxes, will not interfere with any items. At the same time, it is important to determine the comfort of work with a single-level lower tier. Perhaps much more convenient to use different heights for each zone. These nuances should be remembered when buying a headset.
The placement of boxes and cabinets should also be thought out. Proper ergonomics involves the placement of unnecessary and too overall items in the cabinets at an altitude of 40 cm. At an height of 75 cm, there are built-in household appliances and drawers for massive dishes.
In the upper cabinets at an altitude of 190 cm all what should be at hand are: spices, tableware and appliances.
Plate is best placed in the center of the lower part of the headset. Accommodation near the window or pass will be unsafe. The optimal option will be a place at a short distance from washing (40 cm). The intermediate distance between the cooking surface and the sink is used under the worktop.
The choice of the optimal height of the kitchen headset is based exclusively on human growth. Furniture stores have a wide range of standardized size headlists. The parameters of such headcards are suitable for a person with a rise from 150 to 170 cm. When growing less or more data, the furniture is selected individually.
It is worth the choice of kitchen furniture with the greatest responsibility. After all, it depends not only the comfortable process of cooking, but also health. So, special attention should be paid to the countertop. It is the height of the working surface that one or another load on the spine gives one or another. With incorrect leg parameters and the back quickly get tired.
The optimal height of the table top allows not only to keep strength and health, but also properly organize the workspace. Stripping precisely on the height of the working surface, select the size of the upper tier of the module.
In this case, the growth of hosts is also taken into account, the usability and functionality of the upper cabinets.
