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 smooth or complex 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 benchtop have been installed.

Check that your walls are strong enough to hold the

cabinets. Depending on your wall material, it's best

to install your cabinet onto a stud or support beam.

Use a stud finder to locate the studs.

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.

In order to provide proper support for the cabinets,

you need to add horizontal structural support

between the studs. As this requires the proper skills,

be sure to contact a trades professional for help.

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.

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 electricity, water, gas and

ventilation connections are where you want them

to be.

What you are looking for is a fixed structure inside

the wall that is strong enough to carry the load of

your cabinets. This fixed structure needs to align

with the fixation points of your cabinets.

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.

Note that even if your new cabinets will be located at

the same position as the cabinets of the old kitchen,

it is important to secure that the walls have been

properly reinforced.

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.

The wall studs, normally located 30, 45 or even

60cm apart, can carry the load of your wall cabinets.

However, as the cabinets come in different widths it

is highly likely that the fixation points of the cabinets

and position of the studs won't align.

It's important that you use the proper type and

size of fixing devices to attach your cabinets. The

minimum screw thickness is 4.6mm and the screw

needs to penetrate at least 38mm into the wall stud

or solid core material. For advice, contact your local

specialised dealer.
