Sizes of Cabinets & Number of Cabinets

 

1. Smaller cabinets have less material than larger cabinets, therefore costing you less.
2. Ordering 1x larger cabinet is cheaper than ordering 2x cabinets equalling the same width.
3. The more cabinets that you order the more it will cost, so sometimes you may need to modify your design if it is exceeding your budget, or maybe you will need to order most of it now and the rest at a later date.

 

 
Ordering involves looking at the size of a cabinet and choosing to go for one cabinet or smaller sized cabinets.
 

Ordering 1 cupboard can SAVE you money...: If you have a space of 1100mm, it will be cheaper to order 1x 1100mm cabinet rather than 2x  550mm cabinets or 1x 900mm and 1x  200mm. There are less materials in a 1100mm cabinet, as well as less labour costs in the cutting, machining, scanning, packing and freighting.

Advantages: Gain storage space, Save on material costs, Save on assembly and installation labour (i.e. installers tend to quote by the quantity of cabinets).
Disadvantages: Taller or wider cupboards can be awkward, heavy and typically require 2 people to assist. Aesthetically, 2 cabinets might look better than one and so this is when design v's cost is a consideration.

 

When the cabinet you require exceeds our maximum cabinet width/height... Let's say you need a cabinet 2200mm wide and you have exceeded the maximum cabinet width available in our range. In this case, you would need to order two (or more) cabinets (in any combination you like) to add up to the sum of the cabinet width you need. For example: you could order 2x 1100mm or  2x 733mm and 1x 734mm cabinets. 
 

Advantages: Cupboards are smaller and easier to install, requiring only 1x installer. Aesthetically more cupboards might look better or be more practical than one oversized cupboard: 
Disadvantages: More cupboards cost more money as it costs more in materials, packing and freighting and it Increases the assembly and installation labour.

 

 

Q. What if I want a cabinet 1350mm wide or 2400mm high?
A.  In our cabinet range, you will find there are miniumum and maximum ranges. Our system will not accept a size outside of these ranges. In this instance, you will need to reconsider your options and split the required size into additonal cupboards.
