Browse Forums Kitchen Corner Re: kitchen - heights of benchtop/overhead cupboards etc 15Jan 22, 2008 8:01 pm dna I know that most kitchen benchtops are 900 mm high, distance between the benchtop and o/h cupboards is somewhere between 500-600 Industry standard as far as I have been told is now 950-1000mm. Most manufacturers such as Laminex have changed their 'carcass' height from 720mm to 770mm and nearly all now use the plastic adjustable legs that easily achieve 1000mm. I did mine 1000mm, I'm 5'10 1/2" and my wife is 5'11" so we appreciate the higher sink especially. Re: kitchen - heights of benchtop/overhead cupboards etc 16Jan 23, 2008 7:00 am I'm 5'11 and my partner is 6'4 so we need to increase the bench height - I was thinking 1000 would be a good height for us both (although it is mostly me in the kitchen) so thanks Luke for the confirmation!

Ummmmm, sorry what's this in metric ???

TIA 0 16849 Bigger the better for storage for me IMO. But I guess it's harder to tell the cost/benefit in your example - mainly the 'cost'? If you go 700mm, what are you doing extra… 2 3096 I am looking at replacing some overhead power cable and I am trying to work out what gauge of cable this is so I can price it.
