How to Choose Base Cabinets Depth

Base cabinets, also known as floating cabinets or cabinet platform shelves, may be the best way to build an attractive interior and achieve maximum storage capacity in your kitchen or bathroom. There are several options available, but knowing the proper base cabinets depth is essential. Having the right depth can mean the difference between a storage space that look cluttered and one that look beautiful.

The first thing you need to know about storage capacity is the height of the cabinets. Height is the most important factor for properly designed interior spaces. The height of your cabinets will be determined by the floor space available. A higher cabinet gives you more storage capacity at a lower cost.

Installation of the cabinet can be simple or complicated depending on the options you choose. If you opt for the simpler installation option, consider a manual installation that involves attaching the rods to the upper corner of the cabinets. You will probably want to install this manually for various reasons. If you plan to have the cabinets flush with the wall, then make sure that the walls are level.

You will need to measure the length of the cabinet by measuring the space between the top of the cabinet and the top of the ceiling. This is the size of the side panel to be installed. The dimension of the sides is the depth you should measure for the depth of the mounting brackets.

Measure the depth of the cabinets by using upholstery tape on a piece of cardboard. Lay the measuring tape on the top of the cabinet and along the bottom edge of the cabinet. Draw a straight line down the height of the cabinet and find the distance between the top of the cabinet and the measurement of the backside of the cabinet.

Using measuring tape, measure from the bottom of the cabinet to the center of the opening of the cabinet. This is the depth of the mounting bracket to be installed.

To make the brackets easier to attach, use a short rod to attach the brackets to the board. Simply attach the rod to the threaded rod of the cabinets. To ensure a perfect fit, it's also recommended to install the brackets on the inside of the cabinet.

To avoid a gap in the middle of the cabinet, make sure that the cabinet is level and the base is parallel to the ground. Make sure that the cabinet is flush with the wall. To achieve this, try placing the cabinet at the edge of the frame and remove the door from the frame.

To achieve the same effect as the manual installation, choose a manual mounting panel mount. You can now mount the shelf on the panel, ensure that the drawer is closed and then drill a pilot hole on the cabinet for the rod to be installed through.

Installation can be done by the same method for either a sliding wall mounted or upholstered cabinet. It's also possible to put the shelving into cabinets or cupboards. Many choices are available for both types of cabinets.

Regardless of what type of shelves you choose, they are most likely to be installed only for a specific model. You may be able to order base cabinets on-line to help you locate the correct model. Many vendors will provide these specific information and even offer tips for determining the right ones for your home.

Knowing the storage capacity of your cabinets is an important aspect of kitchen design. Not having enough cabinets can result in a cluttered look. Knowing the proper depth of base cabinets can help you achieve a beautiful look in the kitchen or bathroom.
