Laundry 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.

The total width depends on where the cabinet is placed: built-in, semi-freestanding, or fully freestanding. Below are the minimum widths per situation:

Built-in between two walls: min. 75 cm
(1 × laundry module of 65 cm + 2 × filler panel of 5 cm)

Semi-freestanding (against one wall): min. 71 cm
(1 × laundry module of 65 cm + 1 × filler panel of 5 cm + 1 × side panel of 1.8 cm)

Freestanding (no wall connection): 68.6 cm
(1 × laundry module of 65 cm + 2 × side panels of 1.8 cm)

That depends on how the cabinet is placed: built-in, semi-freestanding, or freestanding. Here are the minimum total widths per configuration:

Built-in between two walls: min. 140 cm
(2 × laundry module of 65 cm + 2 × filler panels of 5 cm)

Semi-freestanding (against one wall): min. 136.8 cm
(2 × laundry module of 65 cm + 1 × filler panel of 5 cm + 1 × side panel of 1.8 cm)

Freestanding (no wall connection): min. 133.6 cm
(2 × laundry module of 65 cm + 2 × side panels of 1.8 cm)

The tall cabinet is cleverly designed to hide pipes and fittings, with 6 cm space behind the laundry module. The removable back panel makes them easily accessible for maintenance or checks.

Panel material

• All panels are 18 mm thick
• Under appliances we use double thickness (2 × 18 mm) for extra strength
• Filler panels on the left and/or right: from 5 cm wide

One laundry basket we personally love (for both its design and color!) is the HAY Laundry Basket. It fits nicely and looks stylish. Available through one of our interior partners, Dhondt. View it here

The laundry module (the part of the cabinet where your washer or dryer goes) is always 65 cm deep.

Your entire laundry cabinet, including optional side storage units, can be up to 80 cm deep.

The laundry module is placed in such a way that the front aligns neatly with the rest of the cabinet, with extra space behind the module.

Always 90 cm high.

Your appliances sit on the floor, and the worktop is placed above — not resting on the machines. From floor to the top of the surface is always exactly 90 cm, regardless of whether you choose an 18 mm or 36 mm thick top. This height is fixed and not adjustable.

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.

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.
Discover our measurement service

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!

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!

Of course! We're here to help.

At Maatkasten Online, you always get high-quality custom work at the best price in the country.
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!

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 laundry

In 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!

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.

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.

Your sturdy washing machine cabinet is made from high-quality melamine panels by the brand Unilin. The panels are 18 mm thick and edged with moisture-resistant tape.

Yes, absolutely! 💪

Our laundry cabinets are specially designed so you can easily assemble them yourself.

All holes are pre-drilled, and we use a smart system (Minifix) that makes assembly smooth and simple.
Even if you have no experience, you’ll do just fine!
You’ll receive a clear step-by-step installation manual.
Still have questions? Our friendly aftersales team is ready to help.

No, that’s not necessary. Your custom laundry cabinet is safely and securely built in between the floor and ceiling, and cannot tip over.

The washing machines are positioned 59 cm above the floor.

This is a comfortable working height, allowing you to load and unload easily without having to bend down. There is storage space underneath the appliance. You can fit this with a standard drawer, a drawer with a pull-out shelf for a laundry basket, or a large, deep drawer for extra storage space. This way, you make smart and practical use of every centimetre.

The total width depends on how the cabinet is installed: built-in, semi-freestanding or fully freestanding. Below are the minimum widths for each configuration:

The laundry unit (the part of the cabinet where your washing machine or tumble dryer goes) is always 65 cm deep.

That’s perfect for a 60 cm deep appliance.

Your entire washing machine cabinet, for example with storage cupboards to the left and/or right of the laundry unit, can easily be up to 80 cm deep.

The laundry module is then positioned so that the front aligns neatly with the rest of the cupboard. There is then more space behind your laundry module.

Always 90 cm high.

Your washing appliances sit on the floor, and the worktop is positioned above them, without resting on the appliances.

The height from the floor to the top of the worktop is always exactly 90 cm. Whether you choose an 18 mm or 36 mm worktop, the total height remains the same.

This measurement is fixed and cannot be adjusted.

No, the height is always 90 cm from the floor to the top of the worktop. Whether you choose an 18 mm or 36 mm worktop, the total height remains the same.

Before you design your custom washing machine cabinet online, you’ll need three measurements: height, width and depth.

Good to know: you don’t need to allow for any extra clearance – we’ll do that automatically for you!

• Height: Measure from floor to ceiling at three different points. Take the smallest measurement.
• Width: Measure from wall to wall, again at three points. Note down the smallest measurement.
• Depth: Add 5 cm to the depth of your appliance. The standard depth is 65 cm (as most washing machines are 60 cm deep). The cabinet can be up to 80 cm deep.

Not sure? Don’t worry!

Our measurement experts will be happy to visit your home. They will measure everything carefully and help you design your perfect cupboard.

Behind the washing machine cabinet, there is a minimum of 6 cm of space between the cabinet and the wall. A flat wall tap and drain pipe will therefore fit easily in there.

Have you opted for a washing module with a drawer at the bottom? Then it has a removable back panel. Super handy if you ever need to check or service anything!

There is no fixed back panel behind your washing appliances, but there is an opening for ventilation and a sturdy slat for extra stability. This keeps everything neat and secure!

In short: an open cabinet for your washing machine isn’t just practical, but also a conscious and well-thought-out design. This way, you can enjoy years of hassle-free use!

Yes, that is possible. We provide the customised cabinet for this purpose, but you will need to supply and install the washbasin itself and the cut-outs for the pipes.

A washing machine cabinet can be perfectly combined with any cabinet from Maatkasten Online. This allows you to create a single attractive, practical unit that fits your space perfectly.

Sometimes you can design everything in one go using the design tool. For example, add storage modules, an ironing board module or a utility cupboard to your tall laundry cupboard. This way, you can put together your ideal cupboard wall entirely yourself.

Do you want something specific, such as a combination with a bench, corner cupboard, U-shaped dressing room or sloping cupboard? In that case, it’s best to design several cupboards separately and let us know that these need to be worked out as a single unit. Our draughtsmen will then create a full technical design in which everything fits together perfectly.
