Anthracite Drawer Side Profile for a Dark-Toned AvanTech YOU Interior

This is the right-hand side profile for Hettich's AvanTech YOU drawer system, finished in Anthracite, at 187mm in height and 550mm in nominal length. It is a steel structural component — the drawer wall itself — that integrates the running gear and delivers the deep, dark interior look that defines a handle-less, contemporary kitchen or closet build.

Key Features

• Anthracite finish brings a dark, matte-toned interior to AvanTech YOU drawers, coordinating with dark fronts, cabinet interiors, and hardware in the same finish family.
• 187mm side height suits deep storage drawers — pots, pantry pull-outs, or deep utility drawers — where a taller wall retains more and supports larger fronts.
• 550mm nominal length fits standard cabinet depths in the 550mm nominal range; all AvanTech YOU components for this nominal length work together as one system.
• Right-hand orientation — pair this profile with the left-hand version to complete one drawer's side set.
• Steel construction provides the structural rigidity the AvanTech YOU platform is built on, with the running gear engineered into the profile.
• AvanTech YOU system components — front fixings, cover caps, locking devices, and runners — are matched to this platform and are not interchangeable with other Hettich series.

Where This Profile Fits in a Build

The AvanTech YOU side profile is the drawer box wall. Unlike a slide-and-box approach, the running gear in a metal drawer system is integrated into the side profile itself, so the profile does the structural and mechanical work in one part. A 550mm nominal length suits cabinet bodies built to accommodate that depth; all side profiles, runners, and back panels for one drawer must share the same nominal length. The 187mm height is well suited to deep-drawer applications: pot drawers, tall pantry pull-outs, or deep utility storage where a lower side height would leave contents exposed or a tall front unsupported. This profile is a single member — the right-hand side — and must be paired with the matching left-hand profile to form a complete drawer side set. Front fixings, locking devices, and any motion accessories are ordered separately and must come from the AvanTech YOU system.

Anthracite as a Finish Choice

Anthracite is a dark, near-charcoal tone that reads as a strong design statement in an open drawer interior. It works well behind dark fronts — graphite laminates, painted slab doors, or wood veneer panels with deep stain — where a silver or white interior would create jarring contrast. It also pairs naturally with matte black hardware throughout the cabinet, keeping the full interior palette consistent. The steel profile carries the finish on both the inner and outer faces, so the drawer interior and the visible side edge present the same color. For builds where the interior is intended to disappear visually behind dark fronts, Anthracite removes the mismatch a lighter interior would create.

Who Orders This Profile

Cabinet shops specifying AvanTech YOU for contemporary or transitional projects with dark cabinetry reach for the Anthracite profile to match the design intent across every drawer in the run. Kitchen and bath designers who have committed to a dark-interior drawer system use this profile as the structural foundation for that look. Contractors completing an AvanTech YOU installation who need a replacement or additional right-hand member for a 550mm, 187mm-height drawer order this SKU to match what is already in the cabinet. It is a component part, not a complete drawer kit — shops building new drawers will need the left-hand profile, front fixings, back panel, and motion accessories to finish the box.

The Right Foundation for a Dark-Interior Drawer Build

Specifying Anthracite across the drawer run locks in a cohesive interior that holds up visually every time a drawer opens — no contrast mismatch, no finish inconsistency, just a clean dark wall from front to back. Order the right-hand profile here and pair it with the left-hand member and the rest of your AvanTech YOU components to put the full system together.
