At what height should the window sill be?

To prevent the height of the window sill from determining the choice of your kitchen, it is necessary to decide it in advance by keeping in mind a few important aspects.

The height of the window sill (Y) is calculated by adding 3 cm from the height of the kitchen base unit (J) to the underside of the window sill, or by adding 25cm if the equipped back section with a dish-drainer is fitted below the window (25cm is considered to be the average space taken up by plates standing in the back section rack).

The height (J) of the kitchen base unit depends on the height of the worktop from the floor and whether it is fitted with a back section or a splashback.

The height of the window sill is determined as follows:

Y=J+3cm or

Y=J+25cm.
