GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:false panel
French translation:faux panneau

English to French translations [PRO]
Furniture / Household Appliances / cabinet making, kitchen appliances
English term or phrase: false panel
A non-moving panel that is used to hide parts of a built-in appliance (e.g. dishwasher or mini freezer). The context is: "Determine the height of the false panel according to your individual kitchen cabinetry requirements (...)".

By the way, is it better to translate "cabinetry" as "armoires (de cuisine)" or as "meuble (de cuisine)" in this case?

Thanks!

As for "cabinetry", it will depends on the furniture. "Armoire" being a specific type of furniture (usually translated as "cabinet" in english), but if you are not sure if the furniture mentioned in your text are "armoires" or not, then "meuble(s) de cuisine" would probably be the safest choice.

fausse porte


Explanation:
Utlisé pour l'éléctroménager encastrable, par exemple :

"C’est donc un lave-vaisselle 12 couverts intégrable sous un plan de travail. Arrivé à la maison, on le déballe. Pas de face avant décorative sur la porte puisqu’il va recevoir une fausse porte assortie aux meubles de la cuisine, livrée par le fabricant."

On parle de "portes" pour les meubles de cuisine, même quand ce sont des tiroirs, par exemple.

Autrement, en France on parle de "meubles" de cuisine quand on parle de ce que les anglophones appellent "kitchen cabinets". Pour moi le mot "armoire" évoque autre chose.
