Planning kitchen appliances: niches, cut-outs, connections

We do not sell appliances, but every kitchen is planned around the models you already own. You give us brand and model, we set niches, cut-outs, ventilation and connection dimensions in the technical drawing. Fridge, oven, dishwasher and extractor then fit without rework.

Why appliances are planned first

Every appliance has installation dimensions, a connection type and ventilation needs. If the kitchen is drawn first and the appliance chosen later, you end up with filler panels, extra shelves and sometimes a second delivery date. We collect the appliance list before the design so cabinets fit directly.

Fridge and oven

Built-in fridges need a niche with door hinge and ventilation above and below. Ovens need a niche with a defined height and a socket that is not behind the appliance. We plan both in the drawing and mark the connection points for the electrician.

Dishwasher and sink

The dishwasher needs water inlet, drain and a socket in the neighbouring cabinet, not behind the unit. A sink with a drainer changes the cut-out, so we fix the bowl size before ordering the worktop. Sink and hob cut-outs are made in the factory.

Extractor: ducted or recirculating

Ducted or recirculating decides the space in the wall unit and whether a core hole is needed. For ducted we plan the duct route before ordering, for recirculating the filter access. For head-free hoods we check the distance to the hob and the height of the wall units.

Connections and responsibilities

Water, drainage and high-voltage power are installed by a local specialist. We provide dimensions and positions in the drawing so the work is finished before assembly. What you may connect yourself depends on your country and the appliance type; we flag where specialists are required.

Frequently asked questions

Do you sell kitchen appliances?

No. You source the appliances; we plan niches, cut-outs and connections around them.

What do you need from me?

Brand, model and installation dimensions from the data sheet. A photo of the rating plate helps if the name is unclear.

Can I replace appliances later?

Yes, if niche and connections stay. We plan standardised niches so a swap remains possible years later.

Who connects water and power?

A local specialist. We provide positions in the drawing and coordinate the date with assembly.
