End panels for base cabinets provide a neat finish to kitchen runs and stabilize freestanding cabinet elements or islands. Available in various thicknesses and decors, they adapt exactly to your kitchen plan. Ideal for covering visible carcass edges, supporting worktops at the sides, and creating clean lines.

End panels for highboards give mid-height cabinets a defined frame and create a calm vertical axis in the room. They cover the sides, contribute to stability, and visually connect highboards with the worktop or upper cabinet run. Planned in matching front decors, storage elements appear like permanently built-in furniture. Perfect for cozy kitchen and living areas. Choose matching highboard end panels by height and design now.

End panels for tall cabinets elegantly frame tall pantry or appliance cabinets and create a high-quality, furniture-like impression. They conceal carcass edges, provide additional support, and create a clear line all the way to the ceiling. Especially around appliances such as refrigerators or ovens, they ensure neat finishes and visual calm. Choose thickness, decor, and height to match the tall cabinet - for studio-level planning.

End panels for wall cabinets showcase upper cabinet runs clearly and elegantly cover side carcass edges. They provide visual calm, additional support, and a clean transition to the wall, window, or niche area. Especially in open kitchens and transitions to living areas, wall cabinets with side end panels look more premium and fully planned. Choose decor, thickness, and height to match the front - for a continuous line design.

End panels for top cabinets combine base cabinets and top-mounted furniture into a harmonious block. They cover the sides, neatly support the worktop or niche back panel, and ensure a calm front view. Ideal for coffee niches, appliance setups, or compact household centers. Planned in front or carcass decor, top cabinets merge with the base cabinet into a closed unit. Choose end panels by height, depth, and decor now.

End panels for bridging cabinets create a harmonious frame for cabinets above niches or appliances - for example above a refrigerator, oven, or passageway. They provide neat side finishes, connect the bridging cabinet with adjacent tall cabinets, and create a calm overall appearance. At the same time, they contribute to the stability of the construction. Perfect if you want to integrate built-in appliances flush and visually seamlessly. Configure matching end panels for bridging solutions now.

The Nobilia finishing end panel for sideboards is supplied including a floor profile and ensures a clean, stable finish down to the floor. It conceals the plinth at the side, stabilizes the furniture, and emphasizes the elegant design of sideboards and lowboards with clean lines.

With a depth of 37.2 cm and overall heights of 93.4 to 106.4 cm (depending on plinth height), the end panel fits precisely into any kitchen or living space plan. Available in thicknesses of 10 / 16 / 25 / 50 mm and various decor colors, it offers maximum design freedom - for harmonious finishes and a continuous line design.

Nobilia support brackets reliably secure end panels and worktops - especially in plans with dishwashers at the end of a run. Mandatory for 1 cm end panels, recommended for 1.6 cm end panels. Type WSTW measures 5 × 45 × 45 cm and ensures maximum stability and precise alignment. Protect your kitchen end panels from stress and warping over the long term. Add the right support bracket to your plan now.

What is the difference between carcass-height end panels and floor-standing end panels?

Carcass-height end panels end above the plinth and frame the cabinet body precisely. The plinth panel runs continuously in front of the cabinets, creating a calm, linear front appearance - ideal for modern, handleless kitchen plans.
Example: Base cabinet end panel UWK10, height 72 cm, depth 25–58.3 cm.

Floor-standing end panels extend to the floor and finish with a floor profile and panel shoe (in Black 010 or stainless steel look 014). They conceal the plinth at the side, increase stability, and provide a solid, high-quality finish - typical of a prominent finishing end panel.

Planning recommendation for floor-standing end panels

The overall height of floor-standing finishing end panels depends on the plinth height of the surrounding base cabinets.

For the UWA base cabinet end panel, the following standard dimensions apply:

• 79 cm panel height → plinth height 7 cm

• 82 cm panel height → plinth height 10 cm

• 87 cm panel height → plinth height 15 cm

• 92 cm panel height → plinth height 20 cm

This gradation ensures a harmonious overall appearance and guarantees that the floor-standing end panel finishes exactly flush with the plinth height of the adjacent cabinets.

Planning tip:

• Carcass-height end panels
  create a continuous plinth line and a light, “floating” look.

• Floor-standing end panels
  emphasize the side finish, offer additional stability, and protect the plinth area from impacts and mopping water.

Optionally, additional stability can be achieved with the WSTW support bracket - particularly useful for tall or heavily loaded end panels.

End panels primarily serve as a design element in kitchens. However, Nobilia end panels are necessary, for example, in projected plans or to install electrical appliances such as dishwashers, (fully) integrated refrigerators, or wine coolers at the end of a run under the worktop. Finishing end panels therefore prevent a view behind the kitchen run and ensure a neat kitchen finish.

Nobilia offers end panels in thicknesses of 10 mm, 16 mm, 25 mm, and 50 mm. The 16 mm version is particularly popular: stable yet discreet. It emphasizes the kitchen's modern slim-line look.

Nobilia end panels are precisely matched to the in-house range and grid dimensions - ideal for new purchases or extending existing kitchens. As standard, they have a side depth of 58.3 cm. For room plan end panels, the depth can be flexibly selected between 25 cm and 116.6 cm.

For handleless Line N kitchens, Nobilia offers front-flush finishing end panels with a depth of 59.8 cm. These perfectly compensate for the 15 mm projected front and ensure a harmonious, continuous line appearance.

Kitchen end panels are available in 4 different types: finishing end panels, carcass end panels, room plan end panels, and intermediate end panels.

Finishing end panels are planned floor-to-ceiling. Their height is determined by the carcass height and plinth height of the enclosed cabinet. Finishing end panels for base cabinets, sideboards, highboards, and tall cabinets are fitted with a panel shoe as standard. This prevents cleaning water from penetrating and the associated swelling of the panel. The floor profile and cover caps are supplied in 014 stainless steel look or 010 black.

Carcass-height end panels frame the cabinet carcass and leave the plinth area open. This allows for a continuous plinth run and thus a particularly uniform kitchen appearance.

For planning, the measurement is taken from the top edge of the cabinet to the bottom edge of the cabinet. The plinth is then continued along the side.

Carcass-height end panels end above the plinth and make the cabinet body appear to float freely. The side plinth return connects flush with the front plinth panel - creating a continuous, calm line. The result is an elegant, light look that is especially convincing in modern kitchens. At the same time, the open plinth zone makes cleaning easier: even robot vacuums can move under the cabinets without obstruction. In comparison, floor-depth end panels look more substantial and visually close off the plinth.

Room plan end panels are used especially in island and block plans when cabinets are placed back-to-back or combined with different depths. This creates a visible joint edge between the cabinet backs, which is neatly concealed with a room plan end panel - for a uniform, high-quality appearance.

The major advantage: room plan end panels are cut to size at the factory - in both height and width. This allows them to be adapted precisely to any plan, whether carcass-height or floor-standing.

Typical dimensions and areas of application:

• 61.9 cm: For one-sided islands with cabinets in 56.1 cm side depth.

• 80.7 cm: For two-sided islands with LINE N cabinets in 56.1 cm side depth and frame part in 20.2 cm side depth.

• 95.5 cm: For two-sided islands with cabinets in 56.1 cm and 35 cm side depth.

• 106.6 cm: For two-sided islands with cabinets in 56.1 cm and 46.1 cm side depth.

• 116.6 cm: For two-sided islands with cabinets each with 56.1 cm side depth.

Conclusion: Room plan end panels are essential for harmonious island planning, as they elegantly conceal transitions while also enabling individual custom sizing of the kitchen

Intermediate end panels create the appearance of a cabinet framed by end panels without cladding the entire carcass. They are about half as deep as a standard end panel and are therefore more cost-effective in planning. Ideal for anyone who wants the elegant end-panel look without needing the full amount of material.

This preserves the design and line layout - with reduced effort and an optimal price-performance ratio.

Up to and including 2020, Nobilia wall cabinets had a carcass depth of 32 cm.
The corresponding end panels had a side depth of 34.7 cm in order to finish flush with the front and carcass.

From 2021 onward, the side depth of wall cabinets was changed to 35 cm. Since then, all end panels have been produced with a correspondingly adjusted depth.

If you want to clad a wall cabinet from the range up to 2020, you can use a base cabinet end panel (UWKR) and adjust its depth individually.

The reason: the wall cabinet heights correspond to the base cabinet heights in the Nobilia grid system.

• Wall cabinet 72 cm carcass height (-1) → base cabinet 72 cm carcass height

• Wall cabinet 79.2 cm carcass height (-2) → XL base cabinet 79.2 cm carcass height

• Wall cabinet 86.4 cm carcass height (-3) → Maxi base cabinet 86.4 cm carcass height

The UWKR base cabinet end panel is cut to height at the factory and can be adjusted in depth. This means that even older wall cabinets can be fitted precisely and neatly with end panels.

Nobilia end panels are made from high-quality MDF boards (medium-density fiberboard). Under pressure and heat, wood fibers are pressed with resin into a dimensionally stable board. The advantage: MDF can easily be cut on site without the edges fraying.

The end panels are manufactured according to the same strict quality criteria as carcasses and fronts. This gives you a robust, durable material that visually matches your Nobilia kitchen perfectly and will reliably accompany your kitchen routine for many years.

Nobilia end panels are available in 9 material and color groups. This allows you to match side panels exactly to the front range, carcass color, and worktop.

Practical examples: choosing the right end panel for the front

Example 1: Front 516 Lacquer, Alpine White High Gloss (Nova Lux, PG 6)

• Best color and gloss match: End panel 516 Lacquer, Alpine White High Gloss | High gloss lacquer (LAH)

• Budget-friendly alternative with a harmonious overall look: End panel 060 Alpine White Gloss | Matt decor (MA)

This lets you choose between a fully lacquered premium solution and a budget-conscious decor version - in both cases, the front appearance remains calm and harmonious.

Example 2: Front 490 Lacquer, Alpine White Premium matt (Senso, PG 3)

• Maximum match in color and feel: End panel 490 Lacquer, Alpine White Premium matt | Premium matt lacquer

• Budget-conscious alternative: End panel 193 Alpine White | Matt decor

You decide whether the side panels should be finished in the same premium lacquer as the front or in a matching decor.

Example 3: Front 968 Lacquer Laminate, White ultra matt (Easytouch, PG 4)

• Perfect line design in ultra matt: End panel 968 Lacquer Laminate, White ultra matt | Lacquer laminate, Premium matt

• Decor alternative: End panel 106 White | Matt decor

Ideal for handleless, modern kitchens with an especially calm, ultra-matte overall appearance.

Example 4: Country-style front 849 Lacquer, Magnolia matt (Sylt, PG 7)

• Harmonious country-style look: End panel 175 Lacquer, Magnolia matt | Matt lacquer (LAM)

• Decor alternative: End panel 120 Magnolia | Matt decor

Additional available country-style end panel colors in matt lacquer (LAM) include:

• 786 Lacquer, Slate Grey matt

• 851 Lacquer, Black matt (discontinued)

• 175 Lacquer, Magnolia matt

This allows you to plan your country-style kitchen with a visually continuous look from the fronts to the end panels to the island - depending on your desired color mood, from light Magnolia to deep Slate Grey or Black.

A finishing end panel is always required when an appliance is positioned at the end of a run. It forms the side finish and prevents a direct view behind the furniture. This applies in particular to (fully) integrated dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, and wine coolers under the worktop.

For end panels with a thickness of 10 mm, a support bracket (WSTS) must also be planned. Projected base and tall cabinets also require side end panels. They frame the front flush and protect against side visibility.

Filler strips can be used to close larger gaps between the cabinet and the wall flush. We recommend a front filler as soon as the distance to the wall is at least 30 mm. If the distance is smaller, a finishing end panel should be preferred. It is usually easier to install, forms a clear side finish, and ensures a calm, rounded overall impression of the kitchen.

Nobilia end panels are screwed to the cabinet carcass using the supplied wood screws. Pre-drill the screw holes with a suitable wood drill bit - this reduces the risk of the panel surface splitting.

Optionally, you can glue the end panel to the carcass using waterproof D3 glue. Please note: later non-destructive removal is then generally no longer possible.

Floor-standing finishing end panels come with a panel shoe with cover caps included in the scope of delivery. This creates a neat lower finish and protects the panel from swelling caused by mopping water. Floor profile and cover caps can also be purchased separately if required in 014 stainless steel look or 010 black.
