My kitchen is getting on for 15 years old now and looks a bit shite frankly. I don't want to change the layout at all or the units, just the door fronts, worktops etc. Problem i'm having though is they measure 591mm h x 597mm w for unit doors, 138mm h x 597 w drawer fronts and 732mm h x 296mm w for the narrow panels either side of the oven, and off the shelf stuff from B&Q etc is quite a bit smaller. Tried to find out the Ikea sizes but their website deserves an award for being so useless, no measurements anywhere.

Anyone had made to measure ones done or had the originals rewrapped in vinyl? Any recommendations?

If you're looking at getting new doors made up you might as well just look at a whole new kitchen.

Custom fronts could get pretty expensive pretty quick!

If they're standard sizes how come nowhere sells them, including trade direct places?

The units are fine and as I'm sticking with the layout I'd prefer to change the doors if poss, seems a waste otherwise.

Measurements are based on the carcass.

Aye but what's annoying is the measurement from the feet/stand things to the top of the unit is standard, the other stuff not so much! Argh!
