You're a great resource for all of us DIYers, Kody. Thanks for all the videos on installing IKEA kitchens. Saved us countless mistakes along the way!
🙏 You are very welcome. The best way to show your appreciation is to share the videos with friends or on other platforms.
Real pro tip @ 11:35... figured that out over time doing house work, but it's worth mentionning for people not used to pre-drilling!
Love the Ikea cabinet videos. Beautiful work. Nice job explaining what you did. Thank You!
You’re welcome
Thanks for the videos man. Installing a 12ft x 12ft kitchen and a 10ft by 10ft kitchen. First time and going well so far thanks to your videos. Cheers
Great video. Showed up at the right time as I'm assembling an island now and was debating on how best to do the cover panels. Thanks.
Glad I could help!
Question for you: we're installing an island on tile floor w. infloor heating (slab on grade). What can we use to secure the island to the floor? We're scared of hitting the in-floor with a screw...
Only thing I'd be worried about is the exposed cuts in particle board touching the floor and sucking any spills like a sponge. But, great job.
I liked the video because I don't like toe kicks on the sides or back on an island. I'm curious, for the back of the island, you could do it with one 36x96 panel. But then one of the bottoms would be unfinished. Did you use two panels? Or do you do something to seal the bottom of an unfinished panel?
I need to slow down on my kitchen, I'm just a week ahead of you. I installed an island last weekend and somehow, someway used the exact same techniques you used here. Also, I placed the drill standing up and my lovely wife kicked it over. Oh well, the floor was going to get a scratch some time.
Haha. Oh man funny how that little drill trick is true for everyone!
Hi, I've tried search for "counter top" cutting and installation on your channel and no results have come up. Do you have any video for this? I planning to install a wood veneer top. I understand it's a more specialised job and I'd like to see what it involves, both techniques and equipment wise. Even if it is beyond my scope, I'll have an idea what the honest way to do it is, when I quiz tradesman before I agree to the job.
Many thanks.
thanks kody
doing a penninsula soon and these tips sure do help a lot man
Ok great! I’m very glad to hear that.
Thanks for such detailed videos. I'm curious....is the back of the island sitting on the floor or do you do a putty knife or something thin between the panel and the floor? I know wood flooring can swell a little with the seasons.
Your videos are great and a huge help. Thank you. The sleek look of the island makes the rest of the kitchen look busy. When are you going to show us how to cut a 40" cabinet down to 36" and use 36" x15" drawer fronts for doors?
Haha. Very good idea. Seems fairly specific though. I could probably explain it to you.
@@uptokode Yeah, that's pretty specific, but seems like a lot of people need uppers taller than 30 but shorter than 40. The real question is how to mount or remount hinges on the doors. Thanks again.
Good stuff Kody. Can you tell me a bit more about the 36 " x 26" dishwasher panel you put on the end? Is that an IKEA product? I'm trying to do something similar with my IKEA island bench but the IKEA end panels are 62 cm which is too narrow and I can't go up to the next size of 91 cm
I would love to know your thoughts on a sink hack to accommodate a farmhouse apron sink in the ikea base. We will reinforce and hide any of that with panels. So you don’t talk about counter top installs. We plan to put a quartz countertop on. Would we set the farmhouse sink top level to the ikea boxes? I don’t want a space between the counter and the sink it sits on.
I could definitely figure it out. And just so I’m clear… you want the quartz to sit on top of the sink?
I say just do it. Cut the sides of the box down. Do what it takes.
It’s hard to help beyond that unless I see the sink.
Is this Island installed on top of the flooring? What type of flooring is it. I'm doing a kitchen remodel with LVP flooring and all the manufacturers instruct not to place cabinets on floating flooring.
Island on the sun-floor, then glue down plank, then the cover panels.
Nice work. Doing something similar in my home, but I think I'd rather use the big 96" panel cut in half and turned sideways for mine. Is the grain even visible in these colored ikea panels?
No grain in the coloured panels so yes your idea is great.
Thank you! Curious if going all the way to the floor with a floating floor is a problem? Do I just let it rest on the floating floor and caulk around the island, or install island first and flooring around. Thank you!
Probably best to do the floating floor after bases are in. Don’t sit the cabinets on top just to be safe.
What is the height of cabinets in the island and next to stove?
Always aim for 36” from finished floor to top of counters.
Hi Kody, Do you have a video on how you anchored these cabinets down? I'm planning on using the 002.984.06 part. However, I've seen videos that show that it doesn't quite reach the bottom of the cabinet so extra wood is needed. I'd like to see your solution.
If you use my plywood base method then just set and screw the base to the floor. Level of course. Then set your cabinets on that and screw those down. Done like dinner. And solid.
@@uptokode Hi, thx for the video. If you have spills later on that seep under the floor construction and stay between the wood and the floor, isn't that an issue with wood? How do you address that issue, please?
Also, we have a similar setup but with an additional cabinet that faces the opposite direction. A quartz countertop will capture all cabinets and leave an overhang on the side next to the single opposite-facing cabinet to create a space to tuck under two bar stools. There is no cover panel that is a fit that we are aware of. Saw where someone else they sggested taking a fridge side panel and cutting it to fit - but that will leave one raw edge exposed... Make sense? Any advice??
Makes sense. I sometimes “chase” my panels so I also have a finished edge. Depending on the cabinet you can edge tape it and paint match. Or edge tape and stain match. Or buy a trim piece for corner but again it’s a matching process.
Chasing is hard to describe. Might not be possible on an island. The backside you can butt 2 cut edges together like I did in this video. Except the back panel would run past the sides so you can cut each side to appropriate depth. And yes fridge panels is the ticket here.
Let me know if this helps.
How did you instal the under cabinet lights? Did you use the wood light bar that can be ordered with the cabinets and which lights did you use? I started to research under cab LED lighting and there is way too many to choose from.
The home owner had that done. I never even looked. Sorry.
Another great Ikea video! Thank you. Generally what size screws are you abusing for ikea cabinets, panels etc. #6, #8, other, or does it matter?
Thank you! I always use #8. I like the type 17 as they are designed for particle board but it’s not a deal breaker.
Where/how did you acquire Sektion cabinets that are brown?
IKEA has that option. I don’t know if it changes by region. But it’s worth asking when you’re at the store.
What about the plumbing? Water and drain exposed in the center cabinet?
Yes you’re right. Comes up through the floor.
Is there no island power outlet. And how where you planning on providing the power and the drain for the dishwasher. Thanks.
Yes there is an outlet. Same side as the DW. The wire comes up through the floor. The DW drain ties into the sink drain.
@@uptokode Thanks, none are visible that’s why I asked.
It’s there. At the beginning is shows the one side and a white receptacle. I had to check myself !! 😜
@@uptokode Yep, you’re right I missed it 🤪 I would like to ask though, as that end is the DW end how much space is needed to allow for the outlet box. Also have you ever made an island using cabinets back to back, and if so how did you fasten them together etc.
Haha. I wasn’t there to see how much space there was the the receptacle. I imagine not much. You would have to keep it to the very back where the DW is rounded. Definitely something important to keep in mind.
You could also build a pillar sort of speak to give more space at the back and side of DW.
As for back to back. If you use the plywood base there’s a good chance you won’t need to fasten them together. Screw down and side to side. Should be pretty strong.
How did u know exactly what was on my mind??? I would hire you in a second if u were located in Chicago!
Haha. Lucky timing I guess! And thank you.
Do you prefer installing the LVT flooring before or after cabinet install?
It’s personal preference. For an island it’s nice to install flooring before hand.
I like to install flooring after for 3 reasons:
1. People change flooring more often than changing cabinets
2. If you have floating laminate or engineered hardwood, it expands and contracts, it’s not good to screw through it and anchor it. Can cause gapping in floor joints down the road
3. Save on flooring material
That said, for LVT, 2 doesn’t apply. 1 still does tho so you gotta make a call if you care about the future or not. I install cab boxes first, then flooring, then kicks and cover panels to hide cuts. It’s not much extra work.
@@conradcoolerfiend thanks for replying! I get the floating floor but doesn’t the fridge, oven, dishwasher, etc have to rest on a floating floor? Plus there is a safety cleat that has to be installed to prevent tipping of an oven, so hard to prevent heavy things from sitting on a floating floor.
@@musclecars4635 sitting on, and screwed down, are 2 different things to a degree. But I get your point
@@conradcoolerfiend good discussion!
Why is the plywood blue?
We found my older plywood that was painted. But it was great quality fir 🌲
👍👍
