OTR microwaves not compatible with Ikea Sektion depth
Comments (32)Hello, newbie girl here needing some help with the ikea microwave install. Hoping someone can answer some dumb questions... A. I know that I need to use the Nyttig spacer but I’m not clear on how this works with the mounting bracket. Wanted to confirm: I should attach the nyttig spacer to the wall stud (using super long screws). Next, I attach the mounting bracket to the nyttig spacer. Is that correct? B. The instructions say to leave a 1/4” gap, my understanding is that this refers to the comments above where the microwave needs to stick out from the cabinet for venting and door hinge allowance - is that correct? There is no other 1:4” gap required anywhere else, correct? (The instruction pictures almost make it seem like a 1/4” clearance is required between the top of the microwave and bottom of the microwave cabinet. Which doesn’t make sense to me...but I wanted to be sure.) Any info you might have is much appreciated....See MoreIkea Sektion REVEAL!
Comments (63)Love your new kitchen! Those grey cabinets with white make it really light and a farmhouse sink is one of my favorites! I have found that IKEA really isn't that bad for some things and it really can save you some money. As for the costs there is a free Home Renovation Estimator that can help anyone estimate home renovation costs....See More1970's Kitchen Reveal: Modern w/ touch of rustic IKEA Sektion Bodbyn
Comments (24)Thank you everyone for your comments. It has been such a journey, but so glad we did it. @practigal I sure did! we had around 30 cabinets total or so. @Karenseb I actually am not sure what was used for lighting or power exactly. The electrician provided them, but they look pretty standard. Here is a picture. Sorry for the poor quality. I am pretty excited. I just ordered a bunch of reclaimed black walnut to wrap the brick wall in and to add some floating shelves to the right of the exterior kitchen door. It looks like this:...See MoreRecommended trash bins for IKEA Sektion SE BP1D?
Comments (67)I see a few more requests looking for tall bins that fit 15 wide ikea cabinets. Can you believe after all this effort, recycling pick up is no longer offered for my address! 😢 ive been using the 2 bins I bought and installed quite awhile back They are still working out great. i was going to make something similar to what a few others did but ended up finding these. Witt Industries 13R Plastic 13-Gallon Rigid Waste Liner, Square, 11" Width x 11" Depth x 20" Height, Black. got them 1/2 off on AMZ warehouse deal very thick strong commercial use plastic. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QNOFES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TAcHDb3D23QJK AMZ often has them as unavailable in that size, but you can find them elsewhere online mine did not have any dents/defects. Note that these are commercial grade liners to go inside a metal trash can vs a polished plastic meant to be placed out in your room. You can see pics in my Akurum ikea 15 inch base if scroll dowm the posts I have the 1st bin, raised up by about an inch to account for the slight flare at the lip and that makes them fit perfectly using all availble drawer and height space, while still allowing for my shallow drawer. I should note that I did not install the upper rod of my lower drawer that my trash cans sit in. I never got around to it and with both cans in, it actually makes that drawer and door fromt super stable - door front doesnt move and is perfectly vertical. mine are the older line, akurum, with similar but not identical specs. if needed I can measure further up the trash bins height, for the width I dont believe they flare out any, until the very top where there is a slight flare in where the lip area is, but can double check if needed....See Morecdanettesing
