Kitchen installation tips

Range hoods, stoves, vegetable washing basins, etc. Even if it is too late to press again, you need to get the size in advance.

When installing cabinets in this way, the reserved holes and the reserved positions should be calculated. If microwave ovens, ovens, refrigerators and other electrical appliances need to be embedded in the cabinet, the switch position and current size must be designed in advance according to the size.

The components of the cabinet, such as cabinet panels, panels, Roman columns, etc. After delivery to the site, if conditions permit, remember to open the box to check whether there is any damage and the size is correct.

It is better to discover before installation than to discover the problem after installation. Everything is the most perfect one to install and survive. Dismantling and repairing may be loose, which is the same as the mobile phone. Second step : Installation The installation sequence is generally: floor cabinet cabinet-wall cabinet cabinet-countertop-door panel-decorative components-partitions-hardware handles.

The installation height of the cabinet wall cabinet should be adjusted according to the site. The height of some kitchens is relatively high, and the proportions on the drawings are okay, but it may not be appropriate to go to the site, and it needs to be determined on site.

The back panel of the installed cabinet should be kept at a distance of cm from the wall. Because the cabinet will be deformed over time, there must be a certain amount of space for deformation.

Waterproof treatment is required under the sink to avoid deformation of the plate when it is soaked in water. The bottom lamp of the wall cabinet should be installed at the same time as the wall cabinet is installed. Whether you want to use the dark wire or the open wire, the master will solve it with his hands.

All openings must be sealed, which is not only beautiful, but also prevents the cabinet from emitting formaldehyde. After the door panel is installed, be sure to check whether the door seam is neat and whether the opening and closing is smooth. A neat door seam is an important criterion for the installation of cabinets. There are loads of modern gadgets and gizmos available these days that can be incorporated into a new kitchen and built in appliances always enhance the appearance too.

The room the kitchen is being installed in may already determine the type of kitchen layout you can have. If there's more space available then there are some examples of the most common types of kitchen layouts below;. Below is the most important thing when kitchen fitting. The bubble needs to be exactly in the middle of those two lines - everything must be perfectly plumb and level.

If not, cabinet doors will be impossible to line up, tiles may not line up right and you'll be in for all sorts of trouble. At some point unless the client is having granite counter tops you will need to cut and fit the formica worktops as well. The kitchen counters are glued and then clamped up together from underneath using special bolts. The design of your kitchen may include end panels that are fixed to the sides of the cabinet.

Generally these are flush with the front of the doors edge, the same height as the cabinet and can go all the way down to the floor. They are a great way to finish the row of units if there is no wall and also help to define a space for a dishwasher or washing machine by having one either side. Can you recommend how we can not use the feet at the front and support the unit and still install the plinth? With regards to the plinth heater, if you have units either side of the larder, then the front legs can be removed.

It would be advisable to attach the larder unit to the units either side with carcase connecting bolts. The larder unit will also need fixing to the wall in the top corners with L-brackets. The plinth can still run along the front and connect to the legs from other units. We have a run of tall units that are set slightly forward from the back wall to allow for some pipework. Do recommend attaching them to the wall as well as being bolted to each other for extra safety?

Hi, yes, usually tall units to get attached to the wall, if you are stepping this off the wall then I would advise using some framework or a baton to attach the units too. Hi, We have just had delivery of our kitchen. Looking at your video, do you not attached the base units to the wall? Hi, you do not need to screw the base units to the wall, unless you want to do it for your own piece of mind.

We would advise using the carcase connector bolts to attach the units together and to keep the units rigid and in place though. Hi, we have just installed the pull out larder with two doors and a normal larder with two doors.

The gap between the two doors across both units are very out! Which is easier to adjust? Happy to send a picture.

If I have two tall single oven units that are next to each other, but separate from all other units,. The tall units are in a nook with a wall behind them and a wall on either end. Should I fix the tall units to one of the walls and if so which wall?

Hi, we would advise to connect the 2 tall units together and then connect them to the wall behind the units. I was thinking of using 40mm worktop mm x mm for the top and another of the same width cut to build the two sides.

I would then have a row of units on the front, with a wine cooler on the front due to depth the cupboards on the front, one of them would need to be reduced depth of mm. There would be a mm overhang, probably around mm in length to sit four bar stools beneath. Any tips how to design and build this would be extremely useful. Hi, When installing base units, is it normal to cut the backs off all the units from the bottom up and leave say mm at the top, leaving the chipboard exposed?

I know that you need to allow for services, pipes, hoses etc. I have recently had an expensive kitchen fitted and am concerned that water ingress will damage the units in the long run? Please advise. Thanks Gareth. Our base units come with a 42mm service void to accommodate pipes etc. This should be sufficient. You would only need to cut holes into the backs of units to feed waste pipes through to the sink etc.

What would you suggest? Thanks in advance. You might need a deeper worktop on that kitchen run also. I am going to have a free standing range cooker.

What space do I need to leave between it and the units either side? Do I need end panels in this situation. As I am having Luca matt white units I am not intending to have end panels anywhere. Hi, with regards to the space that you would need to leave, you would need to speak to the manufacturer of the range as specifications do alter on different brands.

With regards to end panels, it does look neater if there is an end panel at the end of the units either side of the oven. The end panel could be cut in half and half used either side or even some filler material used to give the effect of an end panel this would be the cheaper option. But do I need to allow for fillers either side the run of cabinets as they are plant on doors and not in frame which I know you can get away with more as you have a frame. Hi, a filler between a wall and a unit is not essential.

However, if you have the space, take an panel 18mm, cut it lenghtways in to two pieces and use as a filler it takes the cabinet 18mm from the wall. It allows the door to open fully and the handle on the door will still clash with the wall but by far less. Personally if a filler can be used, I would install one. Should I leave any gap between the wall and the tall unit then? Second question is, is collection available? Just asking if I need anything else to buy, what was forgotten?

Hi, leave space for a filler against the wall, if you order an extra length of plinth it will be sufficient, you can also collect items. Thank you for your recent reply. How about this: If I buy not enough plinth, units, etc. On that screen there is space for your original order ID and email address. Enter those 2 pieces of information and the additional order will go through fine. With regards If you have corner base units in your kitchen then you are going to need a corner post s.
