Hello,

the total width of the base cabinets including the dishwasher is 320 cm.

I also ordered my countertop, which I will pick up today, at 320 cm, because the 60 cm tall cabinet is supposed to go next to it.

I am now worried that I might have about 0.5-1.0 cm of space on the far left by the wall if I can't fit the dishwasher into a 60 cm niche.

Do you have any ideas how to cleverly and neatly cover a small gap between the wall and the countertop?

Regards,
Chris

hello Chris,

there are different possibilities...
I installed a niche cladding made of glass, looks good, splash guard, covers the old tiles and also any small gaps on the left, right, and back are covered with it.

Hello Robi,

I have already ordered something like that for the back. It could also be done on the left and right.

Only from the front, the thickness of the worktop (end-grain side) is then provided with a gap at the edge.

From the front (the 38mm thick board) it still does not lie completely against it.

I sealed/filled the edges with silicone. You can also get that in many colors.

When everything is being installed, the dishwasher fits into a 60 cm wide gap. Don’t worry too much about problems that don’t exist.

1 cm is missing on the left.

I will caulk that with silicone and then put the side glass panel on it, then seal the joint with silicone. It might then possibly no longer be visible.
