How High Should a Medicine Cabinet Be Installed?
-
Professional Standards
-
According to Corner Hardware, a medicine cabinet, which normally includes a mirror face, should be 40 inches from the floor.
-
Family Height Consideration
-
However, the 40-inch height recommendation might be too low for a tall family and too high for a short family.
Bottom Line
-
According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, when installing a medicine cabinet, you should take into consideration the height of your family so that everyone can see into the mirror without stooping; a shorter person, such as a child, could temporarily use a stool.
