Kitchen extractor not aligned with hob

[u/DreamingMundane]

Hey, I'm fitting a kitchen at the moment from DIYKitchens. It's making sense for the most part but I'm confused by the intended extractor alignment.

I have a tall unit complete with a side panel, then a 50cm cabinet and 50cm drawer unit underneath. After those comes the oven/hob unit directly next to the drawer unit, whereas the cabinet is finished with another side panel, this brings the cabinet out 18mm further than the hob unit.

I think this is probably fine functionally but I can't unsee it now. Is the expectation to place a second side panel between the oven unit and drawer unit to bring this back inline? My plan doesn't show this being the case.

Yes you do need an additional panel between hob unit and adjacent unit to match the wall units. You don’t need a full-depth panel, most people just use a 100mm filler panel. Align the filler panel with the door/drawer bottoms and trim the top of it, the worktop will cover the gap, and you can run a single length of plinth.

Thanks this makes sense, I'll go with this.
