How do I measure correctly?
Milestone Units are not designed to fit perfectly together in one continuous line. Units are designed to be free-standing with gaps in-between them. However, some clients like to ‘cheat’ and like to make their Milestone Kitchen look like it is fitted. It is possible to order our units so that they fit flush next to each other without gaps between them and to fit one continuous top over the whole lot. If you should choose to do this please make sure you measure correctly. Here are some guidelines.
The cornice of the tall units protrude on either side of the unit. Each range has its own different cornice measurements. So two tall units standing side by side will have a gap between them, created by the cornice overhangs. If the unit is against a wall there will be a gap between the unit and the wall.
The width of a floor unit is measured along the length of the top. The top overlaps on each side by 25mm. If you order a unit without a top, it will be 50mm less along the width of the unit. We do this so that if you put your own top on you will still have an overlap on each side. This is prettier than having the unit flush at each end. So, remember to add 50mm to the width of the unit so that your top overlaps the way it is intended to.
If you order a flush end unit, the 25mm overlap on either side falls away. Tell us which side you would like the flush end to be. It can be flush on both sides.
- The width is the measurement of the top from left to right.
- The depth is the measurement of the top from front to back.
- The top is 40mm thick.
- The top overlaps the unit in the front by 45mm.
- The top overlaps the unit at the back by 15mm.
- The splash back is 100mm high.
