Integrated dishwasher at end of a run of units
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.02 PM
Hi, hoping you can help. I want to fit an integrated dishwasher at the end of a run of units. I've worked out that the machine stands on the floor etc, what I'm unsure of is how best to attach an end panel. Without having bought the unit I'm unsure wheter or noy there will be clearance to attach the end panel to the worktop and floor with some sort of bracket. Thanks in advance.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Tim77
Whatever the measurements of the dishwasher, the end panel won't be fixed to it, the end panel needs to be set back from the work top, and fixed at the top and bottom with appropriate brackets. This is incase your appliance needs to be changed or serviced.

You will need an end panel in place but before fitting it you have to know what dishwasher will be, a slim or full size. If you will have a slim one, that will be a 450mm wide, be sure that your kitchen unit supplier will have a door to fit that. Some of the suppliers will have it, some not. I have a 450 dishwasher and the door attached to it is a 500mm, B&Q didn't had a 450 base unit door to fit so I had to extend the gap at 500mm.
So, before your fitter will have that end panel in place you have to tell him what dishwasher you will need and supply the appropriate door.
