Suspended Kitchens

A – A wall-hung kitchen makes cleaning under the furniture really easy. A kitchen with a plinth is less easy to clean so that perfect hygiene is not possible. Even if you can’t see it, the dirt accumulates behind the plinth which, although it has a gasket, cannot ensure a perfect seal.
B – The wall-hung kitchen is ideal for floor-heating because it removes all obstacles for perfect heat diffusion.

FIXING A WALL-HUNG KITCHEN
C – Steel L-shaped supporting brackets are supplied to fix a kitchen to a load-bearing wall. To avoid accidentally drilling the pipes inside the wall it is important to use an instrument that detects their exact position.
D – If the base units are fixed to an interior partition wall, add feet to support part of the weight. It is advisable to fit a quantity of feet that guarantees a distance between them of 120cm.The feet supplied by Valcucine are so slim that they do not detract from the beauty of the kitchen.

Can household appliances be installed in a wall-hung kitchen?

THE DISHWASHER
E – Nowadays it is even possible to install a dishwasher in a wall-hung base unit. An example of this is the new Smeg 60×90 or 60×60 dishwasher. We recommend the addition of supporting feet.
It is necessary to accurately define the position of the wall pipe outlet.
F – A 76×60 dishwasher can be installed in a tall unit, in a higher position compared to a traditional one which makes it more ergonomic. Its ideal position is at the right of the sink (making it easier to load).
NB: Make sure it is provided with the Acquastop device before purchasing it.

THE OVEN
G – The oven can also be fitted inside a wall-hung base unit fixed to the wall.
H – The oven is more comfortable to use and more ergonomic if it is installed inside an element that can be hung in any position on the wall. It can have a flap door that disappears below the unit when open.
