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

End panels for highboards give medium-height cabinets a defined frame and create a calm vertical axis in the room. They clad the sides, contribute to stability, and visually connect highboards with the worktop or wall cabinet run. Planned in matching front decors, storage elements look like permanently built-in furniture. Perfect for homely kitchen and living areas. Select suitable highboard 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 clean lines all the way to the ceiling. Especially with appliances such as refrigerators or ovens, they ensure neat finishes and visual calm. Choose thickness, decor, and height to match the tall cabinet – for planning at studio level.

End panels for wall cabinets clearly showcase wall cabinet runs and elegantly cover side carcass edges. They create visual calm, additional support, and a neat transition to the wall, window, or niche area. Especially in open kitchens and transitions to living spaces, wall-mounted cabinets with side panels look more high-quality and fully planned. Choose decor, thickness, and height to match the front – for continuous lines.

End panels for top cabinets combine the base cabinet and top unit into a harmonious block. They clad the sides, neatly support the worktop or niche back panel, and create a calm front view. Ideal for coffee niches, appliance structures, or small household hubs. Planned in front or carcass decor, top cabinets merge with the base cabinet into a closed unit. Choose panels by height, depth, and decor now.

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

The Nobilia end panel for sideboards is supplied including a floor profile and provides 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 total heights of 93.4 to 106.4 cm (depending on the plinth height), the panel fits perfectly 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 continuous lines.

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

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

Panels at carcass height end above the plinth and frame the cabinet body with a perfect fit. 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 panel UWK10, height 72 cm, depth 25–58.3 cm.

Floor-standing 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 distinctive end panel.

Planning recommendation for floor-standing panels

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

For the base cabinet panel UWA, 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 panel finishes exactly in line with the plinth height of the adjacent cabinets.

Planning tip:

• Carcass-height panels
  ensure a continuous plinth line and a light, “floating” appearance.

• Floor-standing panels
  emphasize the side finish, provide additional stability, and protect the plinth area from bumps and mop water.

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

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

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

Nobilia end panels are precisely matched to the company’s own range and grid dimensions – ideal for new purchases or expanding existing kitchens. As standard, they have a side depth of 58.3 cm. For room-planning panels, the depth can be selected flexibly between 25 cm and 116.6 cm.

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

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

End panels are planned floor-standing. Their height is determined by the carcass height and the plinth height of the enclosed cabinet. 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 thus prevents the panel from swelling. The floor profile and cover caps are supplied in 014 stainless steel look or 010 black.

Carcass-height panels frame the cabinet carcass and leave the plinth area free. This allows for continuous plinth lines 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 at the side.

Carcass-height panels end above the plinth and make the cabinet body appear to float visually. The side plinth return aligns flush with the front plinth panel – creating continuous, calm lines. The result is an elegant, light look that is especially effective in modern kitchens. At the same time, the open plinth zone makes cleaning easier: robot vacuum cleaners can also move under the cabinets without obstruction. In comparison, floor-depth panels look more solid and visually close off the plinth.

Room-planning 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 covered with a room-planning panel – for a uniform, high-quality appearance.

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

Typical dimensions and areas of use:

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

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

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

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

Conclusion: Room-planning panels are indispensable for harmonious island planning, as they elegantly conceal transitions while also enabling the kitchen to be individually dimensioned

Intermediate panels create the appearance of a cabinet framed by panels without cladding the entire carcass. They are about half as deep as a standard panel and are therefore more cost-effective in planning. Ideal for anyone who wants the elegant panel look but does not need the full material use.

This preserves the design and lines – 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 panels had a side depth of 34.7 cm in order to finish flush with the front and carcass.

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

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

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

• 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 base cabinet panel UWKR is cut to height at the factory and can be adjusted in depth. This means even older wall cabinets can be clad with panels precisely and cleanly.

Nobilia end panels are made of 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 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 support your kitchen routine for many years.

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

Practical examples: choosing the right panel for the front

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

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

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

This allows you to choose between a fully lacquered premium solution and a budget-conscious decor variant – in both cases the front appearance remains calm and harmonious.

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

• Maximum match in color and feel: Panel 490 Lacquer, Alpine White Premium Matte | Lacquer, Premium Matte

• Budget-conscious alternative: Panel 193 Alpine White | Matte decor

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

Example 3: Front 968 Lacquer laminate, White ultra matte (Easytouch, PG 4)

• Perfect lines in ultra matte: Panel 968 Lacquer laminate, White ultra matte | Lacquer laminate, Premium Matte

• Decor alternative: Panel 106 White | Matte decor

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

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

• Harmonious country-style look: Panel 175 Lacquer, Magnolia matte | Lacquer, matte (LAM)

• Decor alternative: Panel 120 Magnolia | Matte decor

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

• 786 Lacquer, Slate Grey matte

• 851 Lacquer, Black matte (discontinued)

• 175 Lacquer, Magnolia matte

This allows you to plan your country-style kitchen with visual continuity from the front to the panels and all the way to the island – depending on the desired color mood, from light Magnolia to deep Slate Grey or Black.

An end panel is always required when an appliance is located 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 10 mm thick panels, a support bracket (WSTS) must also be included in the plan. Pulled-forward base and tall cabinets also require side panels. They frame the front flush and protect against side visibility.

Filler strips can be used to close larger gaps between cabinet and wall flush. We recommend a front filler strip as soon as the distance to the wall is at least 30 mm. If the distance is smaller, an 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 panel to the carcass with waterproof D3 glue. Please note: later removal without damage is then generally no longer possible.

Floor-standing end panels feature a panel shoe with cover caps included in the scope of delivery. This forms the clean lower finish and protects the panel against swelling material caused by mop water. Floor profile and cover caps can also be purchased separately if needed in 014 stainless steel look or 010 black.
