Which front design is my favourite and which working height is best for me in order to perform all kitchen activities in a
relaxed and normal posture? This system comparison shows you all the various front divisions of the different unit systems, as
well as the different activity heights. Choose between carcases in standard height 720 mm, XL height 792 mm and Maxi height
864 mm. The activity heights can be individually fine-tuned by combining with 4 different plinth heights for all systems
(70, 100, 150, 200 mm), and 2 worktop heights in 16 and 38 mm. The right size for every task.
The individual systems are assigned different drawer and pull-out heights depending on their front design. All drawers are based
on the classic 5 stage grid and the modern 4 stage grid. The XL height comes with a combination of 2 pull-out heights. The Maxi

STANDARD CARCASE | XL CARCASE
Nowadays people are growing taller. While at the same time, living spaces are
getting smaller – especially in urban settings. For this reason, many buyers
are very concerned with efficient storage space and ergonomics when planning
their new kitchen. By the way, storage in base units can be organised
particularly efficiently: No other unit category has such an extensive selection
of functional fittings and interior organisation possibilities available as here.
Thus, there are some great functional advantages here.

91 ERGONOMICALLY CORRECT
KITCHEN DESIGNS
When deciding upon the proper working height for the
individual kitchen activities, it is not the height of the body
which is decisive, but rather that of the elbow. With a
modern measuring device such as the AMK Ergonometer
the ergonomically correct working height can be determined
precisely and quickly.
92 SINK
IN MAXI HEIGHT
For a sink, the active surface is actually the base of the sink.
This is why it should be planned at a height above the normal
working height. Optimally, the sink bottom should reach
100 to 150 mm below elbow height. This relieves the pressure
in the spinal discs.

WALL UNIT FITTINGS
The alternative to hinged door units are roll-up front units and wall units
with swivel flap doors, flap doors or folding doors. The advantages are clear:
in a small kitchen, these reduce the opening angle of the doors and thus,
stay out of the way. And headroom is also guaranteed with every unit.
High-quality fittings technology guarantees that the flap doors stay put
where you want them.
Information regarding protruded configurations with dresser units above

STATIC LOAD
There are guidelines for virtually everything. Our entire lives are for the most part regulated by standards. Though at
times this can be confusing, it is however, helpful when you are dealing with the sturdiness, longevity and safety of
kitchen furniture. Exactly what kitchen furniture must withstand is specified in the respective DIN standards.
For maximum safety and in consideration of a long service life, nobilia’s self-imposed standards often far exceed what
is required. In the laboratory we continually test the load bearing capacity of top and bottom shelves and loose
shelves on the load-bearing wall.
We test hinged doors, pull-outs and larder units – in short, all moving
components, in continuous operation for a total life-span of more
than 15 years and – for us indispensable – always with full capacity.
In the process, we put stress and strain on our furniture in the
QC laboratory, at times, up to three times longer than required by
the DIN standards.

The kitchen is at the heart of life. And is thus expected to perform: it has
to hold up to aggressive substances like citric acid or highly staining liquids.
In order to test surfaces for their ability to withstand daily wear we subject
them to chemical testing and abrade them with rough and sharp objects, and
even simulate long-term wear on the handles tens of thousands of times. Only
then does the surface of a nobilia kitchen really show what it can withstand.
