Ikea Sektion Installation questions
Comments (0)Hello - I am partially there with my ikea kitchen install but had a couple of questions: - should the side cover panels just be used for the end of a cabinet run - or am I supposed to use them between cabinets if the cabinets are different sizes (I have a 30' long cab adjacent to a 40' long one so the last 10" of the 40" shows - is there supposed to be a cover panel between these two?) I'm sure its somewhat subjective but just wondering what the "normal" way to install these is. Also, if I do put a cover panel between those two top cabinets, then I assume I also have to slide one between the two base cabinets underneath to keep the spacing the same - but I don't know if it would be weird to have a side panel between two base cabinets of the same size - and maybe that is a reason to skip it on top? - the top cabinets are about 1 inch from the ceiling. the guy doing the install told me that when the doors go on they can be slightly dropped so there is a thin edge of the top frame available to attach a thin crown molding to that would cover the gap between cabinets and ceiling. he said this will be better than using the ikea deco strips because my ceiling is uneven. does this sound right? - for lighting that is going under the top cabinets -- where do the transformers go - behind the top cabinets? there seems to be enough space there, but not sure if there is somewhere else they are supposed to go.

Comments (7)I am not any further on the counter :) But I am still planning on using the ply as an underlay. Unless I don't, lol. The soapstone that I have on hold has a small ding in the surface. I can repair it by using epoxy and ground soapstone "crumbs". Then when dry it sands nicely and you really don't see it. I haven't actually bought the stone I have on hold, but its not going anywhere. They might have other remnants soon. I think I will drive there tomorrow and reassess the "ding" and maybe just go with it instead of waiting for something else to turn up. Just got the under cabinet LED lights installed today. I am still working on the crown at the top. I have one length in and have to cut a piece to finish it up. The space is to tight for me to fasten the crown as instructed. I am using extra strong velcro, that will hold 1lb/sqin. It has been working well for the top crown. I used velcro to attach the filler strips to the 2x4 backing at the ends of the cabinets too. It was great. The instructions for my style of crown have you attach the crown at the bottom of the uppers in a way that is not a good method. They have you directly screw through the bottom of the crown and up into the cabinet box. There is a narrow foam strip that gets applied between the crown and box which looks like it is used to block the gap between, so under cabinet lights don't show through. The foam works, but the screws don't finish flush. The screw heads are so obvious. I am going to back each screw out, one at a time, and counter sink the hole so the screw head will be recessed. Then I can cover the holes with a plug or wood filler. I would post a picture of my under cabinet lights but I haven't been able to post pictures for several days now. I don't know what gives....See MoreIkea Sektion Fridge Panel Question
Comments (0)Hi All, I've used Ikea Akurum for my kitchen and 3 of my bathrooms. Love them all. Finally doing my last bathroom and now it's Sektion. I have successfully hacked the cabinets to make them floating but am wanting to use the Sektion Ekestad 36x96 cover panel as a counter top. The top would be 50x22. It's the guest bathroom and it won't get much use. I will probably spray some clear enamel on it for protection and I also have a good exhaust fan in there. However, I have family who visit for weeks at a time. Do you think it will stand up to the moisture?...See Morem_gabriel
