Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances 1 Sep 12, 2021 3:38 pm Hi there, We have bought a new oven and it is shorter than the old one. We couldn't find the same height in the market. Below is the picture that shows how it looks now. I'd like to lift it up and cover the bottom with a panel. Questions: 1- what material should I use to use as a base and lift the oven up? There is an opening in the middle of the cabinet floor for the cabling. should I make a pedestal with pieces of timber? 2- how do I get a 600mmx120mmx18mm panel with white vinyl coating for the bottom? Thanks in advance for your help. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: oven cabinet 2Sep 12, 2021 4:28 pm You need a false floor or 2 pieces of material that run front to back on either side. Some ovens require a vent in the bottom hence the hole in the floor of the existing oven. You can just use melamine particle board for the base. With regards the trim panel. It will be either vinyl wrapped or 2 pack painted so getting the same colour can be a bit of a challenge. If you know what the finish is you could get one made or cut and sprayed. Not many cabinet makers will be interested in supplying one small panel.

Depending on your skills and some basic power tools you can pretty easily make the false floor. If you go to Bunnings and buy a bit of melamine shelving in the 595mm width and then cut it 600mm wide so you have a square it will fit in the space. Just put the edged side to the front. Then you need a couple of strips that will hold the floor at the appropriate height. Probably 120-32mm (floor and base)so 88mm. You may need to cut a hole in the base for ventilation, but again a rough 150x150 hole in the middle of the base is enough.

If it's plain white you can probably get a local small cabinet maker to cut you some 18mm white melamine and edge it to size. It may not match perfectly but it will be cost effective and it's down low so shouldn't stand out. Otherwise you just pay the minimum order fee and get the matching panel.
