Omega National Maple Plate Rack For Cabinet Displays

Omega National Maple plate rack provides a dedicated rack system for displaying plates in kitchen and bath cabinet runs. This plate display rack is a plate display rack from Omega National Products, so it is tailored to cabinet and millwork applications where consistent spacing matters visually across a run.

The Omega National Maple plate rack in this NPD-36-MA configuration uses solid unfinished wood maple, giving fabricators a species that can be finished to match surrounding cabinet components. Each rack in this maple plate rack pair is 13-1/16 inches tall and 36 inches long, creating a defined opening sized for standard cabinet widths or custom sections of longer runs.

With dowels set 2 inches on center and 3/8 inch in diameter, the rack establishes repeatable plate slots along its length. That fixed spacing supports clean visual alignment when laying out multiple plate positions in a single cabinet section.

Key Maple Plate Rack Details For Shop Planning

• Each Omega National Maple plate rack is 13-1/16 inches tall, so it sets a consistent vertical profile that can be planned into face frame openings or frameless cabinet clearances without guesswork during layout.
• The 36 inch length on this NPD-36-MA plate rack gives a predictable run that can span common wall cabinet sections, helping installers plan plate groupings and centerlines before cutting surrounding parts.
• Racks use 3/8 inch diameter dowels that are 2 inches on center, creating uniform plate slots that keep spacing consistent along the full length, which supports a balanced appearance across the cabinet interior.
• National Omega plate racks are available in pre-assembled pairs with 14 dowels per rack, so the front and back members arrive with fixed alignment that stays consistent from one installation to the next.
• RTA kits to make a front and back pair provide 36 inch long top and bottom pre-drilled rails with 28 twelve inch dowels in round or fluted styles, giving shops a way to assemble matching front and back racks while still choosing dowel style.
• Both assembled and RTA versions use solid unfinished wood in the noted species, allowing finishing to be integrated with the rest of the cabinet finishing schedule for a uniform final appearance.

Maple Plate Rack Dimensions And Assembly Options

This Omega National Maple plate rack is defined by its 3/4 inch width, 13-1/16 inch height, and 36 inch length, so casework dimensions can be set around a known rack footprint. The solid unfinished maple construction supports on-site or shop finishing schedules that align with other maple cabinet components. For workflow flexibility, the line offers pre-assembled pairs as well as ready-to-assemble kits built from 36 inch pre-drilled rails and 12 inch dowels in round or fluted profiles, letting shops align assembly steps with their existing cabinet production process.

Using The NPD-36-MA Maple Plate Rack In Cabinets

Maple Plate Rack Placement In Cabinet Runs

The Omega National Maple plate rack in part number NPD-36-MA fits naturally into cabinet interiors where a 36 inch span is available, because each rack measures 36 inches long. With a 13-1/16 inch overall height, the rack can be planned into wall cabinets or similar spaces where this vertical dimension suits the interior opening. The 3/4 inch width works with standard cabinet construction practices, allowing the rack structure to align with adjacent maple elements without adding unusual bulk.

For installations that favor factory-built components, the pre-assembled Omega National Maple plate rack option provides front and back members, each with 14 dowels already set at 2 inches on center. That arrangement defines a series of parallel plate positions that extend across the full 36 inch run, so designers can map out how many plates can be displayed in a given cabinet. Where in-house assembly fits better, the RTA kit version supplies 36 inch top and bottom rails that are pre-drilled, with 28 twelve inch dowels to build a matching front and back rack pair.

Details That Support Consistent Plate Display Results

The dowel layout on this maple plate rack is based on a 3/8 inch diameter and 2 inch on-center spacing, which creates evenly repeated gaps between dowels along the rack. That consistent spacing supports regular alignment of plates, so each item rests within a predictable bay rather than shifting irregularly. In the pre-assembled configuration, 14 dowels per rack define the full set of positions, giving a known count of usable plate slots across the 36 inch length.

With the RTA kit, the 36 inch pre-drilled rails guide dowel placement for both front and back racks, and the twelve inch dowels in round or fluted styles maintain matching geometry between the two rows. The ability to choose either round or fluted dowels lets shops align the visual detail of the plate rack with other turned or profiled elements in the kitchen or bath project. Because both assembled and RTA versions use solid unfinished maple in the species noted, finishing teams can stain, clear coat, or otherwise finish the racks in the same cycle as adjoining maple cabinetry, supporting a unified final look across the installation.
