Blind Corner Unit Combinations
A blind corner unit rarely works in isolation - it is one part of a combination that turns the corner of your kitchen. How it pairs with the units and fillers on either side determines whether doors open freely and whether the run measures up neatly against your walls.
The basic combination
In a typical L-shaped run, the blind corner unit sits in the angle. On one side it butts against the adjoining run of cabinets; on the other side it continues its own run. A corner post or filler sets the unit back slightly so the corner door and the neighbouring door and handle clear each other when opening.
Common layouts
- L-shaped: one blind corner unit turns a single 90-degree corner
- U-shaped: two corners, each usually needing its own corner unit and post
- Galley returns: a corner unit links a main run to a short return wall
Balancing the run
Fillers let you absorb small amounts of extra width so cabinets sit flush to the walls, and the corner post absorbs the clearance the door needs. Planning both together keeps the run tidy and the doors working smoothly.
