Plumbing: Have your plumber prepare the water and drainage pipes like this (applicable for both wall and floor run): This preparation will result in a nicer cut-out inside the sink cabinet comparing to not-preparing it.

No, you don't have to. However, we need your presence during the first hour of the installation to go through all the measurements, confirm that the plan we received is the correct and final plan, and pinpoint solutions should any issues arise before the work starts.

Yes, we do. We carry flooring protective blankets.

A filler is a piece of finished wood used to "fill" openings or gaps between cabinets, or a cabinet and any obstruction. There are two types of filler: flush cabinet and flush doors. Our default filler is “flush cabinet”. “Flush door” fillers give a custom look and requires more materials to make.

We use a top-of-the-line Festool HEPA dust extractor that can trap 99.5% of tiny dust particles from recirculating back into the air. All our saws are hooked up with this extractor, leaving the job site (your living space) dust-free. All of our saws are hooked up with the dust extractor when cutting inside. This helps keeping our work area clean. The dust from sawing operations is trapped inside the HEPA filtering system resulting in a clean returned air.

No, we don’t dispose of the packaging boxes. We will place them at a designated location on your property or sidewalk at your approval.

There are currently 4 IKEA door styles that feature Crown Moulding (decor strips with crown details): BODBYN STENSUND ENKÖPING VEDHAMN There are many ways to install them. This is how we install them The mouldings are installed with 1/8” to 1/4” reveal from the side panels and flush with the doors creating consistent shadow lines all around. The outer joint is lined up with the outer edge of the panel creating a continuous edge line. The 22.5º corner joints are matched with the door gaps. If your corner cabinet ends with an end panel. We finish Crown Moulding by following the thickness of the end panel, then return it to the wall. To finish the crown to the ceiling, we install the crown moulding first, then scribe the fillers to the ceiling. All joints are sealed with the same colour pigment.

No, we don’t make the cut-outs for electrical outlets on the exterior of the cabinets. We only make it in the interior. Your electrician will determine where and how to place the outlet on the exterior.

The backer board is the significant difference between IKEA cabinets and normal ones. IKEA uses 1/8” hardboard as backing, while other cabinets have solid backing 1/2” to 3/4” thick. Because of that difference, you can’t mount IKEA cabinets by screwing them to the studs. You must use the suspension rail.

Yes, as long as the new bases maintain the proper height for the cabinets. Ensure the dishwasher has enough clearance.

IKEA hinges allow for fine adjustments. Use the screws to tweak the height, depth, and side-to-side alignment of the doors.

Use shims behind the suspension rail to level it before installing the cabinets. Proper rail alignment is key to ensuring level cabinets.

You can go as close as 1/4” to the wall. The recommended 2” gap ensures door handles have clearance to open fully, but the door itself won’t scrape even if the cabinet is flush with the wall.

Mixing them isn’t recommended. Knoxhult uses different drilling patterns for doors and drawers. Integrating the systems would require custom drilling and could increase installation costs.

You can customize the cabinets to any size by cutting a larger cabinet down to the desired dimensions. Ensure the final size is compatible with IKEA doors and drawer fronts.

You can modify a 47” IKEA corner cabinet to accept an 18” or 15” door. However, the lazy Susan/carousel feature can only work with a 21” or wider door. With a smaller door; you’d need to opt for shelves instead.

The biggest mistakes are: Miscalculation of the room dimensions leads to wrong cabinet choices. Keeping all the electrical plugs, hood vent and plumbing as is from the previous kitchen, thinking that they would accommodate the new layout. Not consulting with an installer before the installation to see if an idea is feasible or not.

Minimum clearance between the top of the wall cabinets or high cabinets and the ceiling is 3/4”. If the space is less than 3/4”, the doors might hit a lower point of the ceiling or hit the spotlight’s casing.

You can install FIXA brackets onto the studs on the perpendicular walls at the corner to support the countertop. Make sure that each bracket is fixed onto at least one stud.

You don’t have to, but it doesn’t hurt to do so. It won’t do anything to the frame’s integrity anyway. Furniture makers use glue in dowels because they will clamp the pieces together during curing time. The pieces won’t separate when the glue dries, regardless of the wood movement. With IKEA furniture, the cam locks replace the clamping element using glue. Also, particle boards move much less than real wood. Adding glue to the dowels makes the joints permanent, but that’s all.

Here’s one option for confined space corner sink: Use the 26x30” corner wall cabinet. Install the legs to make it a base cabinet. Add the cleats in the back to support the countertop. Dig a hole for the sink. Better option if there’s enough space to fit a full cabinet.
