System 32 also known as "32mm system" or "32mm cabinet construction system" refers to a standardized system of measurements used in the construction of cabinets and other furniture.
The 32mm system originated in Europe in the 1960s and quickly gained popularity due to its simplicity, versatility, and efficiency. The system is based on a modular design that allows for easy and precise assembly of cabinets using standardized dimensions.
In System 32, cabinet parts are configured in multiples of 32mm in width, depth, and height. This allows for easy compatibility and interchangeability of parts between different manufacturers. It also makes it easy to add or replace components as needed.
The system is highly efficient in terms of material usage and production time. Cabinet components are cut from standard-sized panels and sheets, reducing waste and making it easier to estimate and manage material costs.
In addition to its practical benefits, System 32 also allows for a high degree of customization and design flexibility. Cabinet makers can easily create unique configurations and layouts by combining and arranging standard-sized components in various ways.
