Ergonomics in synthetic kitchen sinks

Ergonomics is probably a concept that we associate with the correct postures we should adopt during our working day. However, and although it may seem surprising, adopting an ergonomic kitchen design for cabinets and even synthetic kitchen sinkssynthetic kitchen sinks

is beginning to become quite common.

And the ergonomic design of a kitchen is just as important for health as the postures we adopt at our usual workplaces. Perhaps we do not consider the kitchen to be a workplace, but in reality it is (and especially for those who work professionally in cooking).

Kitchen cabinets at the right height

Many current kitchen designers try to determine the ideal height for placing the worktop and the kitchen sink, as well as for placing appliances. What will we achieve with this? Forgetting about dreaded back pain.

As a general rule, the height of the workspace is calculated based on the person who will usually work in the kitchen. For a person who measures, for example, 170 cm, the recommended working height is 95 cm.

Consequently, the base cabinets and the worktop should be placed at this height (95 cm). These are cabinets with extra storage space to which drawers and pull-out modules can be added.

As for wall cabinets, the reference point should be the lower edge, and therefore we should have no problem at all when filling these cabinets. It is important to bear in mind that it is recommended not to store heavy objects above shoulder height in wall cabinets or tall cabinets.

However, many tall cabinets are already being designed today with the users' proper ergonomics in mind: with rotating trays or pull-out wicker baskets and drawers.
