Design/Install of a Raised Height (elevated) Dishwasher

Usuario de Houzz-503887418

We’re very keen to have a raised height Dishwasher so that we needn’t lean over as much to load/unload the bottom shelf.


Almost none of the bog-standard Kitchen suppliers (Wren, Howdens, Ikea...) seem to do this as standard, but it’s surely pretty easy to modify their plans and units so that it does? Does anyone have experience of doing this and can offer any advice?


Thanks, Ezio

    I too would like this placement of dishwasher.


    Awaiting a design from our kitchen planner to include this. It only needs to be a big drawer amount off the ground to be helpful I think.

    The lines of Wren, Howdens etc offer the most bog standard ideas and designs. If it’s not straight forward they won’t include it. Look at alternative independent suppliers who think outside the box. I can’t see a problem as long as it’s supported.

    I can see a few ways to do this,

    Probably the easiest way is to have an extra deep larder tower made thats about 700 or 800 wide, fit a shelf at the height you want and strengthen it to take the weight of the dishwasher when loaded, fit another shelf above the dishwasher to stop it from accidently tipping and then just slide in a freestanding dishwasher, make sure there's ventilation in the unit and its done.

    Another way would be to use the drawer type dishwashers that Fisher and Paykel (599mm wide) make, these can have integrated made to measure fronts fitted and then stand this on a low single drawer cabinet made to the height you want the dishwasher to stand, clad this with tower decor panels so you can then fix a top cupboard above the dishwasher and it will look like a larder with drawers at the bottom.

    The difficulty would be trying to use a standard integrated dishwasher as these don't fit in a unit either as they're about 597mm wide and the door is fitted to the front. When you open the door it swings down and the bottom of the door arcs inwards, sometimes even the plinth needs to be cut to allow for this, if you stood this on a cabinet you wouldn't have any plinth, but a dummy panel which is flush with the door fronts and as the machine door swings down the bottom of the integrated facia would catch on the dummy frontal and so wouldn't open. But there are a few integrated washing machines that can overcome this as they're used when you have an inframe kitchen and skirting plinth (ie the plinth is flush with the bottom of doors and not stepped behind) and the swing action of the door as you open it the door lifts up as it swings forward so the bottom of the door doesn't catch on anything.

    So as Daisy has said there's no point going into the sheds, all you'll get is a blank look from the sales person as the computer says 'no' you really need to go to a decent independant and get something bespoke which doesn't have to be overly expensive and you'll need a decent fitter as well.

    Hi Ezio, excellent idea we have just finished a project with two raised dishwashers, see the photo attached. This kitchen is also on our projects page, feel free to take a look.
