Frequently asked questions about the laundry cabinet

-
How high are the washing machines in the cabinet?
The washing machines are placed 59 cm above the floor.
That’s a comfortable working height, so you can easily load and unload without bending over. Underneath the appliance, there’s space for storage — with options like a regular drawer, a pull-out drawer for a laundry basket, or a deep drawer for extra storage. That way, every centimeter is used smartly and practically.

-
Can I adjust the worktop height in the low cabinet?
No, the height is always 90 cm from the floor to the top of the surface. Whether you choose an 18 mm or 36 mm thick worktop, the total height remains the same.
-
How do I measure my laundry room?
Before you design your custom cabinet online, you need three measurements: height, width, and depth.
Good to know: you don’t need to allow extra space — we do that for you!- Height: Measure from floor to ceiling in three spots. Use the smallest value.
- Width: Measure wall to wall, also in three spots. Use the smallest value.
- Depth: Add 5 cm to your appliance’s depth. Standard is 65 cm (since most appliances are 60 cm deep). The cabinet can be up to 80 cm deep.
Not sure? Don’t worry! Our measurement experts are happy to visit your home, take precise measurements, and help you design your perfect cabinet.

Do my faucet and drain fit behind the laundry cabinet?
Absolutely!
There is at least 6 cm of space behind the cabinet between the wall and the back of the unit.
So a flat wall-mounted faucet and drainpipe will fit easily.If you choose a laundry module with a bottom drawer, it includes a removable back panel. Super convenient for maintenance or inspection!
Behind your appliances there’s no fixed back, but there is an opening for ventilation and a solid support beam for extra stability.
This keeps everything neat and secure!Still have questions? Feel free to contact us — we’re happy to help!
-
At what height should the faucet and drain be installed?
Between 15 and 55 cm from the floor.
At that height, your faucet and drain pipe fit perfectly behind the cabinet.If you choose a raised washing machine setup, the connections will be right behind the removable back panel of the cabinet.
No need to lift the appliance out! Just remove the drawer and back panel, and you’ll have direct access to the plumbing.
Super convenient and well thought out!

You can see that instantly in the design tool!

The total cost depends on your choices. A white cabinet with shelves is the most budget-friendly.

Because you design and assemble it yourself, and we produce in large volumes, you get real carpenter-level quality at a remarkably affordable price.
So custom furniture doesn't have to be expensive! -
Why can’t I add doors in front of my appliances?
That’s a deliberate choice! Washing machines and dryers release heat and moisture when in use.
✓ Leaving the cabinet open ensures proper airflow and ventilation. This helps your appliances perform better and extends the cabinet’s lifespan.
And there are extra benefits:
✓ You have direct access to your appliances, with no doors in the way
✓ It saves space
✓ And it’s super convenient for loading and unloading laundryIn short: an open cabinet is not only practical — it's a conscious and well-considered design choice. That way, you enjoy years of worry-free use!
-
Can I add a sink?
Yes, that’s possible. We’ll create the custom cabinet for it, but you’ll need to supply the sink and perform the cutouts for the plumbing yourself.
-
How do I combine a laundry cabinet with another cabinet type?
You can easily combine a laundry cabinet with any other cabinet from Maatkasten Online.
This way, you create a practical and stylish solution that suits your space perfectly.In some cases, you can design everything in one go using the tool. For example, add storage modules, an ironing board module, or a technical cabinet to your tall laundry cabinet. That way, you fully configure your ideal wall of cabinets.
Want something specific, like a bench, corner unit, U-shaped layout or angled cabinet? Then it's best to design multiple cabinets separately and let us know they should form a single unit. Our designers will create a complete technical layout where everything fits together perfectly.
After your order, you’ll always receive a clear technical drawing for approval that includes all the details. Production only begins once you're fully happy.
