Standard Kitchen Countertop Height

Описание: http://fixmycabinet.com When installing cabinets, the standard height for the counter in the kitchen is thirty six inches (36"). Granite tops vary in thickness from three quarters of an inch (3/4") thick to an inch and one half (1-1/2").

You must check with your granite company to determine the thickness of the countertop. If it is only three quarters of an inch (3/4") thick, then you may have to raise the kitchen cabinets up. Why? The main reason is that your free standing range height is thirty six inches high. If your top is 3/4" thick, then this will put the top of the top at thirty five and one quarter inches (35-1/4"), not high enough.

The most critical dimension is always the height of the dishwasher opening. You must have a minimum of thirty four and one quarter inches (34-1/4") clear, from the finished floor to the bottom of the kitchen counter top.

Another critical dimension that is determined by the thickness of the kitchen counters is the distance from the bottom of the upper cabinet to the top of the top where an appliance garage is to be installed.

There's more to installing a kitchen that just screwing cabinets to the wall. You always have to think ahead in order to determine the correct height of your kitchen counters. You can't always just use the standard kitchen counter top height and expect things to work.
