Height of kitchen platform

last year

The height of my kitchen platform is less. I need to increase the height by at least 3 inches. It has black granite top. Without demolishing the platform how can I do it ?

Hi Vineeta,

As per Indian standards, height of the kitchen platform should be 34" as we Indians prefer a cook top (which is about 3" in height) rather than in built cooking hob. But European standards are 36" platform height because they mostly use in built cooking hob. Also, Indians prefer lower heights because we are short in height anthropometrically and Europeans are tall in height.

You will need to create another platform over your existing platform by inserting a kaccha marble slab in the wall and then giving it support from sides and center. Over the kaccha marble, you will need to have quartz or granite supported. Fill the gap between existing platform and new platform by cement foam.

Stand, place your arms *straight* in front of you, as if they were in a sink, so ....a bit like you are ready to dive into a pool. Get someone to measure the height of your finger tips from the floor. This will be the height of the base inside your sink. Once you find the sink you want you'll know how deep your sink is and be able to work out how high to place it.
