450mm Pot and Pan Drawer System Built for Dark Kitchen Interiors

This AvanTech YOU double-walled drawer set from Hettich is a complete pot and pan drawer system in Anthracite, sized at 187mm side height and 450mm nominal length. It brings the structural steel sides, integrated runners, and front fixing components together as one engineered package for cabinetmakers outfitting deep-storage kitchen drawers in dark or matte-finish interiors.

Key Features

• Double-walled steel sides conceal fasteners on both faces and present a clean edge inside the cabinet.
• 187mm side height gives deep clearance suited to stacking pots, pans, and lids in a single drawer.
• 450mm nominal length matches standard mid-depth cabinet configurations and coordinates all components in the set.
• Anthracite finish pairs naturally with dark laminate, painted, or matte-black kitchen interiors.
• AvanTech YOU system engineering integrates the runner into the side profile so the drawer box and slide arrive as one unit rather than separate purchases.
• Steel construction throughout supports the load demands of cookware storage without flexing under weight.

Where This Drawer System Fits

The 187mm height is the defining spec for cookware applications. It provides enough interior clearance to stand a large skillet on edge, stack two or three nested pots, or store sheet pans flat without crowding the drawer above. At 450mm nominal length, the system is well suited to base cabinets in the 18-inch-depth range — a common configuration in kitchen islands, peninsula runs, and galley layouts where cabinet depth is tighter than a full 600mm run. The Anthracite finish makes this variant the natural choice when the kitchen design calls for dark hardware or when the drawer interior will be visible from an open-front or handleless configuration where finish consistency matters.

Construction and Finish

The side profiles are double-walled steel, which means both the interior and exterior faces are smooth and fastener-free — a detail that matters when the inside of the drawer is as visible as the outside in a modern open-concept kitchen. Anthracite is a dark matte metallic tone, not a glossy black, so it reads as a design element rather than a utility color and coordinates well with graphite-toned hardware programs. The steel construction provides the rigidity cookware storage demands; a deep pot drawer loaded with cast iron puts real lateral stress on drawer sides, and steel profiles handle that where thinner materials flex. The set is built to AvanTech YOU specifications, which means the runner geometry, locking device interface, and front fixing points are all engineered together rather than sourced separately.

Who Orders This System

Cabinet shops building dark-finish kitchen programs reach for this variant when they need the structural depth for cookware drawers and want the drawer interior to carry through the same Anthracite tone as the rest of the hardware package. Kitchen designers specifying handleless or push-to-open configurations often choose Anthracite because the interior finish stays coherent when the drawer is open. Contractors doing production installs in multi-unit residential projects appreciate the system set format — sides, runners, and front fixings sourced as one package reduce the number of line items to track and eliminate the mismatch risk that comes from assembling a drawer from components across different brands or series.

A Cookware Drawer That Earns Its Finish

Anthracite is not a background color — in a dark kitchen program it is a deliberate design statement, and the AvanTech YOU double-walled system delivers it without trading away the structural depth that a real pot and pan drawer demands.
