E RGONOMIC T IPS
Counter Height:
At least two counter
heights should be offered
in the kitchen (28" - 36" and
36" - 45" above the floor) to
make the kitchen more
convenient for cooks of
different heights.Wellborn
offers cabinets in many
different sizes, as well as
options such as void toe
kick,to make this possible.
Wastebasket Height:
The top edge of a waste
receptacle should be no
higher than 36" to place it
within the universal reach
range of 15" - 48". Wellborn
has a variety of wastebasket
and recycle bin options that
comply with these standards
and increase accessibility and
functionality in your kitchen.
Heavier Objects:
Using tambour units as
appliance garages are a
good way to bring heavy
objects to countertop
height.
Universal Reach Range:
The shallow shelf depth of the
easy reach corner cabinet allows
items to be stored within the
universal reach range of 15" - 48".
Sink & Range Options:
It is important to take into
consideration all of the
possible individuals who will
use the kitchen because
their needs will determine
knee space height and counter
depth. Wellborn offers sink
and range base cabinets in a
wide range of heights and
depths as well as accessibility
options.
Storage and Organization:
To improve the function and
accessibility of the kitchen,
include at least five different
storage or organizing items
located between 15" - 48" above
the floor. Storage bins, spice racks,
cutlery dividers, tall cabinets and
sliding shelves are among the
options that Wellborn offers to
accommodate these needs.
Convenient Height:
Heavy objects should be stored
at the safest and most convenient
height. Placing dishes in wall
cabinets on the floor with an
added toe kick makes access
easy and convenient for everyone.
Universal Reach Range:
To reduce strain reaching for
objects in lower cabinets
consider adding rotary shelves,
a lazy susan or a 3-bin recycle
center to base cabinets.
