Ikea cover panel installation question (Akurum line)
Comments (10)For support around the fridge, it'll be attached in part to the appliance garage as in the diagram, and I can add a bracket for support if needed (I am adding a shelf, as I mentioned in my first post, which will help support). I feel like the concerns about whether appliances, cabinets will be able to open should be quashed: Fridge doors are absolutely fine to clear all walls, all appliances are completely fine, my counter fabricator will not build a counter that will get in the way of the cabinets, my contractor will not install a cabinet I cannot open, etc. etc. And the kitchen is mostly installed except for filler pieces and countertops (which haven't been ordered yet). To your comment about the pieces: Filler pieces are only *supposed* to be aesthetic, aren't they? So to try to find examples a little more that might illustrate: If I look very closely at my dream/inspiration kitchen here on Houzz, I see an example of my cabinet situation. It looks like half fillers, though ending *above* the counters. This also shows the cabinet door alignment I was afraid of losing with a full filler piece.On the other question about the refrigerator, you might be right that that should have a full panel, for the visual separation. This might be a good example, don't you think? Also shows I could go with a filler on only one side and still maintain the built-in look, perhaps?...See MoreIkea 24" Base Kitchen Cabinet Undermount Sink Questions
Comments (5)I hope it's ok to ask a related question here. I have seen Joseph's replies to other posts recommending the HUSH solution, but I don't know enough to be able to explain to my contractor why this can work. I, too, have a 24" IKEA Sektion cabinet and want to install the longest undermount sink possible. Based on what I've read about HUSH, I thought I could select a Kohler undermount with basin length = 22.25". But my contractor said that the flange is still 24" and asked if the flange sits on top of the cabinet and, if so, how that impacts the countertop. I'd be grateful if you can point me in the right direction Joseph! FYI, here is the sink: https://www.build.com/kohler-k-5286-kitchen-sink/s867441?uid=2217519#specifications...See MoreAdditional fee for contractor to install IKEA kitchen cabinets?
Comments (16)@millworkman, actually, it was the late 1960s, when the whole conversion thing was attempted. I was in high school at the time. I have distinct memories of sitting in science class, when for weeks the teacher attempted to get us to understand and convert Fahrenheit into Centigrade, to no avail. The US population in general, revolted against abandoning imperial measurements. As to the OP’s posturing, the contract for installing the IKEA cabs is just that…for hanging them, not putting them together. As I stated in my first post, putting the cabs together while not difficult, is quite time consuming. Any contractor is going to charge extra for that. And to the contractor who said ”European” measurements make hanging the IKEA cabs difficult, poppycock. The same contractor who gutted and renovated my kitchen (with US semi-custom cabs), installed the IKEA cabs in my son’s apartment. Hanging the IKEA cabs, which my son put together by himself (over a weekend), took less time than it would’ve, had he been installing US made cabs. In fact, he remarked how easy it was....See MoreInstaller for Ikea kitchen
