Hettich AvanTech YOU Side Profile for Dark-Toned Drawer Interiors

The AvanTech YOU Right Hand Drawer Side Profile in Anthracite is a steel side profile for the Hettich AvanTech YOU drawer system, sized at 101mm in height and 500mm in nominal length. It is a right-hand component — one member of a matched pair — designed to build a complete AvanTech YOU drawer in frameless and face-frame cabinet applications.

Key Features

• Anthracite finish brings a dark, architectural tone to the drawer interior that pairs naturally with dark cabinet interiors and matte hardware.
• 101mm profile height suits a mid-depth drawer interior, balancing visible side height with clearance for the drawer above.
• 500mm nominal length fits standard cabinet depths in the AvanTech YOU system lineup.
• Steel construction delivers structural rigidity as both the drawer wall and the runner carrier in one profile.
• Right-hand orientation is a system-specific designation — pair this component with its left-hand counterpart to complete a working drawer.
• AvanTech YOU platform keeps the profile compatible with AvanTech YOU runners, front fixings, and accessories.

Where This Profile Fits Into the Build

In the AvanTech YOU system, the drawer side profile is structural — it replaces a wood drawer side entirely and integrates the runner into the wall. This right-hand profile installs along one side of the drawer box; a matching left-hand profile goes on the opposite side. Together they carry the front fixing, the steel or wood back, and the bottom panel, forming a complete metal drawer box on the system's runners. The 500mm nominal length suits the cabinet depth required by the AvanTech YOU specification for that nominal length — confirm your cabinet depth against the system's published cutting dimensions before ordering. Front fixings, rear brackets, and locking devices are AvanTech YOU-specific and must come from the same system; no component from another Hettich series or another brand will seat correctly.

Anthracite in the Context of the Drawer Interior

Anthracite is a dark charcoal-toned steel finish that reads as a near-neutral in dark cabinet schemes — graphite lacquer kitchens, dark-stained wood interiors, and matte black hardware programs. Where the Silver finish blends into lighter interiors and shows less contrast against white or light-gray lacquer, Anthracite asserts presence: the drawer interior becomes a design element rather than a background. That visual weight works especially well in open-plan kitchens where drawer interiors are visible at eye level, or in furniture-grade cabinetry where every surface is considered. The 101mm side height keeps the profile proportional in a mid-depth drawer without dominating the opening.

Who Orders This Profile and Why

Cabinet shops specifying AvanTech YOU as their production drawer system will order side profiles in quantity, matching length and height to each drawer opening. Design-build firms and custom kitchen studios often select Anthracite specifically to align the drawer system with a dark hardware or interior color palette — it is a deliberate finish choice, not a default. Contractors replacing a damaged member in an existing AvanTech YOU installation need to match not just the nominal length and height but also the hand (left or right) and the finish; ordering the wrong hand produces a set that cannot complete the drawer.

A Profile That Earns Its Finish Choice

Anthracite on the AvanTech YOU side profile means the drawer interior reads as a finished, considered detail — not just functional hardware. Specify it where the interior color matters as much as the load rating, and build the rest of the AvanTech YOU set around it.
