What you need to know about AGA plinths
In essence, plinths are used to cover the gap underneath base cabinets to create a streamlined look and disguise cupboard legs from view.
A plinth is only required to bring the top plate of the AGA to the required working height of your worktops. Otherwise, all that is needed is a flat, solid, non- combustible base capable of supporting the weight (approx. ½ ton). Each plinth offers adjustable feet to level up, giving a flat surface to build from and is coated with several layers of primer and top coated with black textured powder.
The dimensions of a hearth or plinth should be the same as the AGA base-plate. For instance:
Depth: 679mm
Width:
- 987mm – 2 & 3 Oven,
- 1600mm – 2 & 3 oven + Module
- 1487mm – 4 oven
- 2100mm – 4 oven + Module
An overlap of 10mm maximum is allowed along the front edge, but there must be no overhang to the rear or on the left or right-hand sides.
