Pantry Counter - Construction Details

Counter Nosing Detail

There could be many ways in which a pantry counter nosing is detailed. Below illustrated are 4 good practices.

Double Layer Stone Edge with Finger Groove

The double layer stone serves an aesthetic function & imparts a bold look to the counter. The finger groove eliminates the need for handles, thereby bringing in the concept of minimalism (eliminating handles, an additional visual element in the design). The 2mm edge radius gives a soft feel when touched, yet retains the a crisp look.

Skirting Detail

The primary idea behind a cabinet skirting is to provide space below the shutter so that the user doesn't get their foot hurt as the shutter swings. The skirting height can range between a minimum of 75mm to a maximum of the Architect's choice; mostly matching the skirting height of the walls / partitions in the room. It is good to have at least 12mm overlap of the cabinet shutter overlap over the base box of the carcass to ensure full closure of the cabinet.
