Top 5 Installation Tips From Kitchen Cabinet Makers Renovating a dated kitchen can make a huge difference to the look of your house, as well as adding value. However, it can also be a very expensive process! If you’re looking to stay within a strict budget, installing flat pack cabinets yourself can be a great way to save money. If you’re not sure where to start once your flat pack cabinets arrive, don’t worry! We’re here to share our expert installation tips for your kitchen cabinets. 1.Read the instructions Why are we giving this seemingly obvious tip? Because so many people assume that they can assemble their flat pack cabinets without even glancing at the instructions. Although most flat pack kitchens are relatively easy to install, make sure you have a thorough read of the instructions to avoid frustrations and mistakes. 2. Assemble on a table It might be ok spending a bit of time sitting on the floor figuring our your cabinets but this can get very uncomfortable a few hours in. It’s much easier to assemble your cabinets on a table rather than having to sit on the floor. Throw an old blanket on the table and fully assemble your cabinets one at a time. Try to keep
your assembly as close to the kitchen as possible so you only have to carry them a short distance! 3. Prepare the walls Once your old kitchen has been removed, you need take some time to ensure that walls are smooth and level so your new cabinets will be flush. Repair any damage and if the walls are really bad, you might need to get a professional in to help. It’s also a good idea to give the walls a quick coat of paint once they’re prepared. 4. Start with a corner cabinet Once your cabinets are ready to go, it’s best to start with a corner cabinet and work from there. If there are no corner cabinets in your space, start with one of the ends. You can then add the rest of the cabinets in using the first cabinet as a guide. 5. Organise your plumber and electrician Even if you’re installing your own cabinets, remember that there are some things you won’t be able to do yourself. If you’ll be needing the assistance of a plumber and/or electrician to rewire or install new plumbing, make sure you organise this ahead of time so the installation process isn’t delayed.
