Anthracite Drawer Side Profile for a Sharp, Dark-Toned Cabinet Interior

This is the right-hand steel drawer side profile for Hettich's AvanTech YOU drawer system, in an Anthracite finish, with a 187mm side height and 400mm nominal length. It is a structural drawer system component — the side wall that carries the runner and defines the drawer interior — not a drawer slide or an add-on accessory.

Key Features

• Anthracite finish brings a dark, contemporary tone to the drawer interior, coordinating with dark-themed hardware programs and handleless kitchen designs.
• 187mm side height delivers a generous interior for deep-storage drawers such as pots, pans, and pantry pull-outs.
• 400mm nominal length suits shallower cabinet runs where a longer drawer would compromise the cabinet's depth-to-opening ratio.
• Right-hand orientation means this profile installs on the right side of the drawer box as viewed from the front; a left-hand profile is required to complete the pair.
• Steel construction provides the structural rigidity the AvanTech YOU platform is built around, replacing wood drawer sides entirely.
• AvanTech YOU system component — designed to work with the other AvanTech YOU runners, front fixings, and back panels; not interchangeable with other Hettich drawer system families.

Where This Profile Fits in Your Build

In a metal drawer system, the side profile does the work that a wood drawer side does in a traditional box — it is the structural wall, and the runner is engineered into it. This 400mm profile suits cabinet boxes in the 400mm nominal length range, which is a common choice for base cabinets with shallower overall depth or for secondary drawers in an island where depth is split. The 187mm height makes it appropriate for drawers holding tall items: spice bottles, stacked containers, pantry goods, or even a full pot with its handle laid flat. For a standard cutlery or flatware drawer, a lower side height would be more efficient; this height is the right call when the contents are tall.

Finish, Material, and Interior Aesthetics

Anthracite is a deep, dark gray that reads as near-black in most interior lighting. On an AvanTech YOU drawer, that color runs the full visible interior wall — when the drawer opens, the side profile is part of the visual experience. This matters most in open-plan kitchens, showroom installations, and high-design residential projects where the drawer interior is as considered as the door front. Steel construction keeps the profile rigid at this height without adding the wall thickness a wood side would require, so the interior floor space the drawer delivers is maximized relative to its nominal width. The Anthracite finish is an AvanTech YOU color and should be paired with front fixings, back panels, and runners from the same system in the same finish where visible coordination matters.

Who Orders This Profile and Why

Cabinet shops building handleless kitchens with dark-palette hardware programs reach for the Anthracite finish when the drawer interior needs to match the overall scheme rather than read as a contrast. Designers specifying AvanTech YOU across a whole kitchen will order this profile for the shallower runs — perhaps a 400mm-depth upper pantry pull-out or a secondary storage drawer beside a refrigerator column — where the full-length versions would overshoot the available cabinet depth. Single-profile orders also come from shops replacing a damaged right-hand member mid-project or adding a drawer run to an existing AvanTech YOU installation.

Built for the Dark-Interior Kitchen

The Anthracite AvanTech YOU side profile at 400mm and 187mm gives you the structural wall, the depth, and the color tone to complete a dark-palette drawer run without compromise — one component ordered right, installed right, and visible every time the drawer opens.
