As for the design of high and low tables, I was once asked, "What is the height of the national standard cabinet countertop?" Although there are certain standards, my answer is more like: "It depends on the users in your home." Depends on height and operating behavior." There are some roads you can't walk in high heels, some air you can't smell with perfume, and some people you'll never meet in an office building. ”
From a height perspective, if the table is too high or too low, it will cause inconvenience to the operator. The correct table height should be calculated based on the user’s height according to the following calculation formula.
Of course, this formula is not static. If the male and female owners of the family often cook, for example, the female owner is 165CM tall and the male owner is 175CM tall, then we can take the middle value of 170CM and calculate it based on this formula. Appropriate cabinet height.
In terms of operating behavior, our operations in the kitchen are generally divided into three steps: washing, cutting, and frying. We have to bend down when washing and cutting. If Bending for a long time is very tiring, and when cooking, we have to hold our arms, which will cause pain over time.
So it is necessary to design high and low cabinets. So what is the height difference?
To answer this question, we must first talk about the development history of my country’s kitchen cabinets. With the improvement of people's living conditions and the widespread use of panel furniture and hardware, it was gradually introduced to Hong Kong from European countries and then emerged in China. As early as the late 1980s, there was no concept of cabinets in my country.
Western countries basically serve Western food. Most of the pots they use are pans, and the depth of the pot is only about five centimeters. But we mainly serve Chinese food, and the depth of the pot is about 12 centimeters. If the height of the cabinet is as follows Making Western kitchens at a uniform height will naturally result in the arm holding the pot handle being seven centimeters too high, which will make you tired over time. Therefore, we adapted to local conditions and lowered the countertop in the stove area by about seven centimeters and made the cabinets staggered. Design.
But there are still relatively few people who design like this in real life? I have summarized the following main reasons:
· Our kitchen area is generally only about 5 square meters. , the cabinets that can be made are relatively small, and the height design of the countertop will affect the preparation, chopping, and placement of some small appliances;
· The staggered-level design requires segmentation when cleaning, which some people It seems that I am more accustomed to a neat surface, and I feel that the height platform is easy to create sanitary blind spots.
In fact, the height platform is more suitable for human body function, but whether to use the height platform ultimately depends on the owner's own preferences and preferences. Demand.
