Choosing the Right Built-In Oven Cabinet
Selecting the right cabinet for your built-in oven starts with knowing your appliance dimensions. Most wall ovens come in standard widths of 24", 27", and 30". Cabinets designed for these ovens are typically 3" wider to allow for a proper fit and trim kit. Depth is equally important since most single and double ovens need a cutout of around 23 1/2" to 24", while the full cabinet depth is usually 24". Height varies depending on whether you’re installing a single oven (around 27–29" high) or a double oven (closer to 51").
For a standard 27" oven, the cabinet cutout is about 25 1/4"–25 1/2" wide, while a 30" oven needs around 28 1/2"–28 5/8". Double oven cabinets usually measure around 51" high, while single oven cutouts are closer to 29".
Our built-in oven cabinets are available in common sizes ranging from 84" to 96" in height. These tall cabinets are designed to support the weight of modern appliances while giving you additional storage with drawers or doors above and below the oven opening.
Single vs. Double Oven Cabinets
Single oven cabinets are ideal for smaller kitchens or homeowners who primarily cook with one appliance. They feature a cutout height of about 27–29", leaving extra room for storage above or below. These cabinets are well-suited for compact layouts or for pairing with other built-in appliances.
Double oven cabinets provide room for two full-size ovens in a single tall cabinet. With a cutout height closer to 51", they allow you to cook multiple dishes simultaneously—perfect for larger households or frequent entertainers. Although taller, these cabinets still allow for drawer or door storage at the base or top.
Oven and Microwave Combo Cabinets
Many kitchens now feature an oven and microwave housed in the same tall cabinet. These oven and microwave combo cabinets integrate both appliances for a streamlined, modern look. Designed for 24", 27", or 30" appliance widths, they provide a single vertical solution that maximizes efficiency and keeps countertop space clear.
A typical combo cabinet includes a cutout for the oven below and a second cutout above sized for a microwave. This configuration creates a cohesive design while keeping both appliances at convenient heights.
Installation & Customization Tips
Every oven model has unique specifications, so even standard-size cabinets may require minor on-site adjustments. It’s important to measure your appliance carefully and compare it to the cabinet’s cutout dimensions. While confident DIYers can handle some modifications, professional installation is often recommended—especially for heavy double ovens or combinations with microwaves.
We offer customization options that allow you to pair your oven cabinet with other storage solutions. Many homeowners choose to add drawers beneath the oven for pans, or doors above for baking trays and accessories. With a frameless European design, our cabinets ensure clean lines and a modern look, even when housing large appliances.
