Worktop Width
Oct 11^th, 2011, 5:08pm

Are worktops exactly 600mm?

I am looking at fitting a counter top with a double base unit and sink with washing machine and tumble drier adjacent under the counter.

The tumble drier needs venting, and the ven has to run behind the tumble drier. Even using flat ducting will push the drier out by about 40-45mm I reckon. Is 600mm worktop oversized to account for scribing, or is there a slightly deeper one available without jumping upto 900mm double edged?

Magnets have a double bullnose range for peninsula units that is laminated on both long edges which works out at 665mm wide.
