Kitchen wall cabinets are the units that mount on the wall above your worktop, giving you accessible, eye-level storage for everyday items like plates, glasses and dry goods. They keep frequently used things within easy reach and free up your base units for heavier pots and appliances.

Standard sizes

Wall cabinets come in three common heights so you can mix full-height and shorter units around extractors, windows and shelves:

  • 575mm high — the shortest, ideal above hobs and sinks
  • 720mm high — the most popular all-round height
  • 900mm high — maximum storage where ceilings allow

Widths run from 300mm up to 1000mm, and as a rule you should leave 450–550mm of clear space between the worktop and the underside of your wall units so there is comfortable room to work.

What you get

Each cabinet is a rigid box built from 18mm MFC with an 8mm solid back, assembled using cam-and-dowel fixings. Our complete units are FIRA Gold certified and carry a 6-year warranty, and include the cabinet, doors, hinges and soft-close hardware. Handles and worktops are not supplied.

Kitchen Wall Cabinets

We have a huge variety of kitchen wall units available to buy in our range of kitchen cabinet colours. There are a few things to consider when you are buying your kitchen cabinets, so read on below for more details.

Kitchen Wall Cabinet Height

There are now two heights typically used when choosing your kitchen cabinets. They are typically referred to as medium (or standard) wall cabinets, and tall wall cabinets. Medium wall cabinets are 720mm high. Tall kitchen wall units are 900mm high wall units. 

There did used to also be small kitchen wall cabinets, at 475mm high wall units, but these are now largely out of fashion, and we therefore don't stock this size.

Kitchen Wall Cabinet Depth

One thing to bear in mind when buying out kitchen wall cabinets is that our cabinets are 300mm deep, as opposed to the traditional 300mm deep units. When fitting this on their own it's not an issue. The problems may arise when you are trying to match up with wall units that are already in place. Please make sure you measure the depth of the cabinet (without door) and compare it to our specification. Once again, ours are 330mm deep (without doors).

Kitchen Top Boxes 

For those wanting a different approach there is the kitchen top boxes. These are half the height of a medium units, at 360mm high. They are a versatile cabinet. They can be used at a top box, sitting parallel with the top of a normal 720mm medium wall units. They can also be doubled up to be used on top of each other, with top hinges. 

Of course, if you want to, you can mix and match with display units and top boxes. 

Please note: These units are deliberately not pre-drilled. This makes them perfect for using as display cabinets, but also means they are suitable for fitting either top hinged or side hinges. 

Kitchen Cabinet Material and Assembly

Our cabinets are made of 18mm MFC with an 8mm solid back. They are easily assembled using pre-fitted cam and dowel joints.
