Plan the kitchen before it is built

Draw the layout, place the sink, the cooktop and the fridge, and check the work triangle, the aisles and the counter beside each one against common planning guidelines. Then ask Dimenzo for a visit, a design and a quote.

How it works

From the tape measure to the request

  1. Measuring a kitchen

    Measure the walls

    In centimetres from the corner, at counter height, with the water, drain and gas points.

  2. Sketching a layout

    Place the sink, cooktop and fridge

    And the dishwasher, oven tower or pantry, each where its left edge starts.

  3. A phone beside samples

    Check and send

    The plan, the work triangle and every point to look at, in one request to Dimenzo in Spanish.
