Anthracite Side Profile for a Refined, Dark-Finish Drawer Build

This is the left-hand drawer side profile from Hettich's AvanTech YOU drawer system, sized at 187mm in height and 500mm in nominal length, finished in Anthracite. It is one component in a matched-system drawer build — the structural left wall of the drawer box that also integrates the running gear of the AvanTech YOU platform.

Key Features

• Anthracite finish delivers a dark, matte-toned interior that suits contemporary and handle-less kitchen designs seeking depth over brightness.
• 187mm side height provides a tall profile suited to deep storage drawers — pot drawers, pantry pull-outs, and utility applications.
• 500mm nominal length fits standard medium-depth cabinet runs and coordinates with all AvanTech YOU 500mm nominal-length components.
• Left-hand orientation means this profile mounts on the left side of the drawer box when facing the open cabinet; the right-hand member is a separate part.
• Steel construction forms the structural wall of the drawer, replacing a wood drawer side and integrating the runner directly into the profile.
• AvanTech YOU system part — designed to work exclusively with AvanTech YOU runners, front fixings, and accessories, not interchangeable with other Hettich platforms.

Where This Profile Fits in a Build

The 187mm height suits drawers that need to hold taller contents — stacked pots, pantry goods, or deep utility storage — without adding a gallery rail above the side. At 500mm nominal length, it targets cabinet carcasses with a depth that accommodates that system length plus the required front-gap clearance and rear bracket space. This profile is the left wall of the box; it carries the load and guides the drawer on the integrated runner. The buyer supplies the front, bottom panel, and back, cut to the AvanTech YOU system specification for this height and nominal length.

Anthracite in a Dark-Interior System Build

Anthracite is a dark charcoal that reads as near-black in most lighting conditions, making it a strong pairing for matte black or dark-stained fronts, and a counterpoint to lighter carcass interiors where visible drawer sides draw the eye. Because AvanTech YOU front fixings, cover caps, and rear components are also available in Anthracite, matching the full interior is achievable within the system. Finish consistency across all components — sides, fixings, caps — matters most when the fronts are handle-less or open-display, where the interior is visible at rest.

Who Orders This Part and Why

Cabinet shops running AvanTech YOU as their production drawer platform order side profiles by nominal length and height to match the carcass depth and storage requirement of each drawer in the job. This profile, at 187mm tall and 500mm long in Anthracite, suits shops building contemporary kitchens or closets where a dark interior finish is part of the design specification. Designers specifying dark-palette interiors reach for Anthracite when the brief calls for a shadow-box effect inside a handle-less kitchen. Contractors replacing or adding a drawer in an existing AvanTech YOU installation need to match the system, height, orientation, and finish exactly — this profile covers the left-hand position at this size.

One Component of a Finished Drawer

The left-hand Anthracite side profile is the starting point for a dark-finish AvanTech YOU drawer — match it with the right-hand profile, the system's front fixings, and the correct rear component to complete the box and keep the build moving.
