Why is the kitchen plinth always recessed?
I am looking at new kitchens at the moment and have noticed that they
all have a recessed plinth. Is this just a very common design feature? Or is it there for another reason? I did wonder whether it was for the ends of your feet while your standing at the workstop but mine didn't even go under the bench! Regards, Rich |

Why is the kitchen plinth always recessed?
I am looking at new kitchens at the moment and have noticed that
they all have a recessed plinth. If you have integrated appliances, the door is hinged not quite at the bottom. This means that the door attached to the front will actually retract inwards at the bottom. If the plinth is too far forward, the lip of the door will catch on on it. As few kitchen manufacturers want to sell kitchens incompatible with integrated appliances and they want to use standard specification parts, the plinths are recessed. Christian. |

om... I am looking at new kitchens at the moment and have noticed that they all have a recessed plinth. Is this just a very common design feature? Or is it there for another reason? I did wonder whether it was for the ends of your feet while your standing at the workstop but mine didn't even go under the bench! Because if the plinth went outwards you'd have to lean forwards to reach the sink, which would plainly be silly, and if went straight downwards it wouldn't actually be a plinth at all? So, the only remaining option is... Speculatively, Ian |
