ACADuser Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I have a client that has kitchen cabinets he wants to reuse but the specs call out 34" high counter tops. So to use these cabinets he has to cut 2" from the 4" toe kick. It is a USDA project and I can not find any info on toe kick requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Toe Kicks are not required by any codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 No but a very large number of semi custom makers will reduce heights at no charge. They will charge to reduce toe heights though. So unless you are using an really inexpensive stock only brand you there are choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeganLDent Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If you reduce the total height of the cabinet by cutting off some of the toe kick, be careful as this may impact the appliances and if and how they will fit. Dishwashers have adjustable legs but they can only be adjusted down a certain height. Check all of the appliance specs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks for the heads up. These are in a work area & not a kitchen but those ADA kitchens do have to deal with the lower counter tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepcon Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 You would have the same appliance problem with the stove being too high unless you went with a slide in range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
