    I changed my mind on ikea kitchens after living with one in a house i renovated. (Because my original custom kitchen order from somewhere else during the lockdowns was backordered)...I use my M12 Fuel impact for all the parts and put it on setting 1. Its perfect for not stripping anything but faster then doing it by hand.
    Their design for space savings is unreal. You can have drawers in drawers and basically any Customization you could ever think of.
    Plus the door faces are cheap and easily replaced if they get damaged for so rental properties thats a huge bonus.

    Won’t help for this build, but for those liking to do their own ikea projects
    1. Swap the adjustable feet from ikea for Hafele Axilo feet. They come with an adjustment tool that makes leveling after install a snap
    2. Swap the included 4mm MDF split backer for your own solid sheet of 4mm mdf. Can get it laminate faced from the store.
    3. Those LED instructions to punch through the backer are only for the pax wardrobes as they don’t have the hanging rails. For others you need to go through the top or route the wiring to a corner.

    • @fatlittleseal
      @fatlittleseal Месяц назад +2

      I’m partway through my own IKEA build. Here’s my extra tips to add to these ones:
      1. If you’re using the original plastic feet and find the plate isn’t fitting into the predrilled holes between 2 cabinets. You need to remove the whole plate and insert the side with the shorter…tenons(?) first and really push the other side second. Using the leg as a jack works as well.
      2. If you’re installing powerpoints to the back of the cabinet, you need to reinforce the back piece. Otherwise when you pull a plug out in the future, you’ll rip the whole back out with it.
      I wish I tried the MDF solution, but what I did was use leftover skirting timber as a support between the wall and the cabinet back.
      Some professionals remove the entire back panel, but it leaves a hole at the back of the cabinet for things to fall through so I don’t encourage it.
      3. If you’re using a non-integrated IKEA fridge, install your hanging rail a little higher than needed. The fridge is 188cm, overhead cabinet 40cm (total 228cm). The tall cabinet is 220 with a kick board of 8cm (total 228cm). Unless you’re sitting your overhead cabinet on your fridge, there is literally no room to slide the fridge in.
      This is pretty specific advice, but I hope it helps even 1 person avoid the stress. 😊

    To keep the adjustability of the adjustable boxes when using spray foam. Put a barrier on fiberglass insulation around the boxes. Then mask off the fiberglass insulation and boxes. The spray foam will make contact with the fiberglass insulation, not the box. Leaving a pliable cushion between the spray foam and boxes.

    What i learned doing my sektion install was to put any drawer slides and door hardware while the base cabinets were still in pieces. Youre just lining them up with the correct holes on each side. Easier than crouching down and screwing them together once the cabinet is built. Kudos to the comment about the filler pieces for the holes I'm going to purchase those now.

    For the adjustable boxes:
    Wrap the box during installation with a bit of fiberglass insulation. This prevents the foam from adhering to the box but still gives you insulation value and allows the box to move in the wall. Quick, easy, and the foam holds the fiberglass from moving after curing.
    As a custom cabinet and furniture maker, I absolutely HATE IKEA (and most RTA cabinets), but I get why people use them. Inexpensive, good features, easy to assemble, and somewhat strong enough after they are installed. Maybe it's the maker in me, but I prefer to build my own and get the look and value of a solidly built cabinet that I know is going to last. Even so, you should know that Titebond makes a glue specifically for Melamine that works really well to add a ton of strength to the boxes. (It's even called a melamine adhesive.)

      I usually don't care much about design of a home until it comes to the kitchen. For instance, when cooking, most people need access to their fridge and water in a convenient way. I would have put the stove next to the fridge. See, with an oven, you simply "set it and forget it" so you don't need to be next to anything. An oven can be anywhere. Same as a microwave. Arguably, they really just want a flat surface to set something down on immediately when you pull the items out. I see so many of these half-million and million dollar homes with a terrible kitchen designs. The kitchen should be designed to cook in.

Currently it is essentially a blank slate. I have a stove, a sink and a fridge, and 1 18" drawer pack with counter top, and 1 4' base cabinet. Everything is negotiable because I have access to electric, plumbing, and gas. So I keep playing with designs trying to get the most bang for the buck out of a room that is 11 by 15, but has 2 windows, and 3 doorways. The struggle is real, 😂 keeping it a simple u or l shaped kitchen may be the best layout for it.

    I really appreciate Stud Pack’s commitment to getting the details right, even when that requires making some changes on the fly.
    I’ve deal with some contractors that didn’t listen or take any notes during the pre-project walk through that I always insist on doing. It’s usually “no problem” that I hear from them, but then as with virtually all projects (especially remodel projects) there are surprises that crop up during the actual work that require some changes. It is very frustrating when a contractor doesn’t ask before implementing a change that is something easy for them to do, but adversely affects the look of the finished job. In some cases the contractor has agreed to fix it right after I pointed out my issues; other times I’ve either had to pay them T&M to fix it, used a different contractor to fix it, or fixed it myself once they were done. Now that I’m retired, I’m trying to do more of the work on remodel projects myself. It’s slower, but I get what I want. I will say that when I can find a good contractor I stick with them for future projects.

I'd fly a bunch out as it went down the line for doors, and then guids and drawers (each dept built their parts, drawers, doors, etc...), I would be stacked with a pile of sheet goods and face frames already gone thru build/paint etc... so I would glue the rabbits and then hold up the parts and nail down the back, left/right/bottom, then put in the toe kick and the face frame and send down the line... I could fill the entire line up and have a break waiting for other depts to catch up in about 45 min putting together jobs very quickly.

The plastic wrap should also serve the purpose of keeping foam out of the electrical box.

    I did my IKEA kitchen seven years ago and it has held up perfectly. It still looks awesome and I particularly like how the drawers open out completely/the soft close hinges/and their organizer pieces that customize the space. It was many trips to the store getting it dialed by it happens to be local to me here in Denver. When you go back to the store make sure and get the white plugs that cover the unused holes on the interiors of the cabinets. You will need a freakin' boatload with all of those cabinets. The finished look is much much better but your thumb will hate you for making it push them all it.

    Why I will not shop Ikea -- they do not pay income taxes anywhere in the world... further, they burden cities when they build there by requiring expensive infrastructure while not contributing to income tax and taking a huge discount on property taxes. I vote with my pocketbook. Not a dime of mine into their pocket!

      Yes, IKEA does pay taxes. According to IKEA's tax principles, they are committed to complying with all tax legislation and paying taxes in accordance with the rules and regulations in the jurisdictions where they operate. They have a tax policy in place based on their tax principles that has been approved by the Finance Committee of their Management Board.
      IKEA pays taxes on its sales and profits in the countries where it operates. For example, in the United States, IKEA pays sales tax on its sales and corporate income tax on its profits. In other countries, the specific taxes IKEA pays may vary depending on the local tax laws.
      It's worth noting that IKEA's tax practices have been scrutinized in the past. In 2017, it was reported that IKEA had not paid any corporate income tax in Australia despite making significant sales in the country. However, IKEA stated that it complies with all tax laws and regulations in the countries where it operates.

    Unbelievable the level of anti-IKEA vitriol here. I seriously wonder how many of those complaining about their stuff have ever actually been in let alone lived with an IKEA kitchen.
    IKEA's strategy is to use cheap, low resource materials for the invisible parts of the cabinets, then use high quality material where you can see it or touch it.
    They are not junk and they are definitely not flimsy. I installed IKEA in our family kitchen in 2003 and we lived with it for 15 years. I poured in-place 2" concrete counters over them. After all that time, they barely look used at all (3 kids later), and were still as solid when I stood on them to repaint the ceiling and more. The integration with other elements of IKEA's kitchen products is also a nice plus.
    The average life of a US kitchen is 10 years. Go ahead and waste beautiful solid maple or oak, or even just hardwood plywood, if you really believe yours is going to last longer, but the statistics are against you.

    When doing spray foam at our place, we did a secondary 2x4 inner non bearing wall, and we used wider 2' spacing for our 2x6 outer studs. The foam makes the exterior wall stronger so you don't need 16" OC, and the interior 2x4 wall makes it easy to run plumbing and electrical and to make changes in future. It also means you don't necessity have to scrape foam to put drywall on, you can spray right over the studs, and even to the floor if you want. Just allow for that with a couple inches gap to your interior wall.

Within 2 hrs completely laid out cabinet design, etc. and placed the order. Could have installed it myself but had so much going on. Same company also has installers as well. Fairly large kitchen and 3 guys put everything together and installed all the cabinets and detail work within 9 hrs. Included clean up and removing all the card board, etc. Ran like a military operation and worth every penny.. As far as the spray foam and boxes go, use 1/4 inch plywood, etc. Put plastic on the side of the wood that will contact the foam and use 2 sided tape to attach to the adjustable box. Once cured, just pull the plywood out. Its a little tricky where the box is attached to the stud. I helped a buddy of mine and this is what we ended up doing. Worked great.

    I put up a pretty big Ikea kitchen in a church I converted to a house. It went very well and being flat packed was crucial because I was hauling it from Ikea into a small town in the middle of nowhere. The adjustable legs were great because the slab was not flat, and I really like the upper cabinet hanging rail. When we had a sewage disaster, the lower cabinets were fine because they were sitting up on plastic legs with access underneath, and we were able to get a replacement cabinet to replace the bottom panel in the sink base when the disposal rusted through the bottom and leaked everywhere. When I build them from scratch I make the cabinets out of good 3/4 plywood but for some jobs it is great to have access to the Ikea system, accessories, and replacement parts. They do a good job with helping with planning and parts lists in the store as well.

Most manufacturers have decided to copy IKEA because they work and are inexpensive. You can still buy wood cabinets, but even the big box stores are mostly switching over.

    I installed an Ikea kitchen about 10 years ago and it was totally worth it for a sub-$200k house. I think I paid around $12k total and installed it myself. I did have a snag or two when I forgot to buy some trim or whatever. The other advice that EVERYONE needs to know with Ikea is to immediately go through each and every box ON DELIVERY and make sure all the parts and hardware are there and undamaged. They will not help you if you come back weeks later and tell them you're missing something.

      @@3nertia the average US kitchen is replaced every 10 years, no matter who makes it. Why would you want to waste large amounts of better quality materials when it's all going to end up in a landfill anyway?
      Yes, there are some exceptions, but they are just that ... exceptions.
      Ikea's approach is to use cheaper, lower resource materials for the invisible parts of their cabinets, and then clad the visible/touchable parts in smaller amounts of quality materials. The one I built in 2003 lasted 15 years and was still in excellent condition after that time.
      Maybe it's not to your tastes, but it's also not junk.

      10 years???!!! The average American does not replace their kitchen every ten years.

      @@marksmith4645 I'm quoting you statistics, not guesswork. Alas, right now I can't find a citation for number. Most of what is online these days comes from kitchen remodellers and cabinet makers, and they say you "should" change it up every 10-15 years, which is clearly in their interest, not ours. However, I did get this number from a government statistics site some years back, and I believe it is still approximately correct.

    This is so sad because you can buy american-made cabinets made out of plywood, not particle board and assemble them there yourself. But you chose a worse product. Sorry guys

      If an American made product was provided to them, I’m sure they would’ve used it. But only IKEA offered their stuff.
