Preparing your room

Whether you're replacing an old kitchen or starting

from scratch, it's key to understand that the properties

of the room dictate how complex or smooth your

installation process will be. With this in mind, it's

important that you spend sufficient time assessing

walls and floors before you start the installation.

Now is also the time to prime and paint your walls

and change your flooring. Don't apply the final coating

of paint at this point since you will need to make

markings and drill holes in the walls. If you plan to

have tiles or similar, it's best to install these after the

cabinets and countertop have been installed.

Marking cabinet positions

Draw a layout of your new kitchen directly on the wall.

Check that everything fits with the measurements

from your plan and that your electricity, water, gas and

ventilation connections are where you want them to

be, see page 6.

Make sure that your electricity, gas and water are shut

off. Use a qualified professional to disconnect and

connect your gas, water and electricity.

Find out what type of wall you'll be working with. For

solid core materials like masonry that are hard to

penetrate and can support great loads, you need

special anchors and screws.

What you are looking for is a fixed structure inside the

wall that is strong enough to carry the load of your

cabinets. Keep in mind that this fixed structure needs to

align with the fixation points of your cabinets.

If you have a light wall construction with gypsum

(drywall) wall panels supported by studs, it's not enough

to fix your cabinets onto the thin gypsum board alone

(not even using drywall anchors).

Assess your walls

Since your walls will hold the weight of

your kitchen cabinets and frames, start by

evaluating the quality and construction of your

walls.

Check that your walls are strong enough to hold the

cabinets. Depending on your wall material, your

cabinets and frames must be installed onto a stud or

support beam. Use a stud finder to locate the studs.

Instead, you need to locate the studs inside the wall

using a stud finder. Studs are mostly vertical posts

made of wood, but can also be thin metal profiles, and

run from the floor all the way to the ceiling.
