Great workmanship. You have the IKEA system down. Question; do you ever use a crown nailer doing build-outs or fillers ? Done custom and box kitchens before but never and IKEA untill now. Your video is very helpful. Thank You

Great video and amazing job 👍 I heard that this grey-green cabinets are very hard to clean. Do you have any ideas how to protect these fronts from finger marks?

[@maxplus2849]

Sorry, I don't know how to protect them, but good protection is not to touch them with your fingers.

This is very helpful! How did you get the hinge on to the right of the vertical pole for the lazy susan thing in the corner cabinet. Is there a hack?

[@sigma_z]

This is cool! But where did you get that conversion template from 6:54 ? And also the door conversion screws and plugs? I ordered an IKEA kitchen and they gave me door faces instead of drawer faces so I returned all the door faces and changed sizes to something else where they had drawer faces. But you!?!? The magician?!?!?!

[@tomatojuice12]

Looking at the microwave, do you think it is essential to have a cover panel between the cabinet that is above the microwave and the cabinet that is to the left and right of the microwave?

[@maxplus2849]

If your cabinets are 30in high, and you DON'T have the deco strip on the bottom then you don't, BUT if you do have deco strip and your cabinets are 30in or 40in high then yes, you do need cover panels you've listed.

[@tomatojuice12]

Love watching your videos. At 3:25, you do not pre-drill. Is there a reason you did not?

[@maxplus2849]

I don't do the pre-drill because I cover it with the hinge... watch me do it 5 seconds later at 3:30 :)

[@philhalpin4882]

Lovely job and hello from Ireland......are the Ikea units pre assembled or is that why the installation seems quite expensive at $2700?

[@maxplus2849]

Thank you. They come in boxes and you've got to assemble them first. You can watch me do it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXXaqml-or-rgLc so yes, basically this is why the price is $2,700; again, in California.

Were your walls plumb, straight and square? Noticed you didn't need to adjust the rails at all

[@maxplus2849]

I usually don't come across straight walls.... most of the time I use shims to adjust the rails

[@bpatrick1490]

@maxplus Is that the ikea white laminate counter tops or quartz?

[@maxplus2849]

Counter tops were done by another contractor.

[@alba380]

can i ask you a question? what is the height to the bottom of the upper rail? because in the user manual of ikea did not explained well. thanks in advance.

[@mikevandenbosch9081]

Bottom of the rail is 2 3/8 inches below top of cabinet. So, for base cabinets, it would (usually) be 32 1/8" above finished floor. There are exceptions occasionally

[@maxplus2849]

The standard for base cabinet is 34 1/2" - now, you set the top of the rail 1/4" below that measurement (so, your measurement for top of the rail should measure 34 1/4" of the finished floor) Same function for the upper cabinets with the standard calling for 94 1/2 for 40"(!) upper cabinets, and 84 1/2" for 30"(!) upper cabinets.

[@user-hq6on2kw4e]

Hey how did you do the piping behind the sink unit? did you have drawers in it?

[@maxplus2849]

There is enough space for pipes, there are no drawers

[@nadinechavez1515]

We have an Ikea kitchen and are just figuring out the Microwave. How did you install it? the cabinets are too deep for what is required.

Hi How do you find these doors over the time? Do you see fingerprints? Stains? Im considering the same colour.

[@maxplus2849]

I only install kitchens, so can't tell you exactly how it is in everyday use, but I could imagine anything that has at least a little bit of gloss to it, will have some fingerprints.

[@sparkwebdesign]

What kind of saw blade do you recommend for Bodarp cover panels ?

[@maxplus2849]

I use Diablo blades for all my kitchen projects.

[@sq2441]

Concrete subfloor…did you consider buffing and staining the floors?

[@maxplus2849]

I do kitchens, and the floors are usually done by another contractor. Plus, it's always what the customer wants to do.

[@migdi242424]

Smaller fridge and perfection.

[@michaelmcmillon5933]

Definitely a counter Depth fridge would work better

[@patriciaufferman1533]

Can I ask about the decision to put in the flooring after the cabinets? I’ve been doing a lot of research, and a lot of people do the floor before the cabinets. If this just preference?

[@maxplus2849]

Hi, yes absolutely. Either way works, it is just your preference. In Europe they usually do the flooring before the install the cabinets; in the USA most of the people complete the flooring after they install the cabinets.

[@mikevandenbosch9081]

Ceramic or hardwood flooring usually goes in first. However, floating floors (like click vinyl etc) usually go in after because they suggest that the cabinets should not be on the floating floor (feet should go on the subfloor).

[@jennisosa6076]

I’m an interior designer and neither answers are correct. Deciding to put the flooring prior to cabinets is solely based upon whether you wish for the floor to run under the cabinets. Flooring is need under appliances but not cabinets. If you don’t wish for the floor to run under the cabinets, you can conceal the gap with shoe molding or a trim piece if your toe kick is not tall enough.

[@mikevandenbosch9081]

@@jennisosa6076 typical designer.... floating floors need to be able to expand and contract. If you install them first and then place the ( heavy) cabinets or an island on top of them, they can easily buckle when they swell up and cannot move. Leave installing to the experienced installers and stick to drawing your pretty ( but often severely flawed) pictures!

At 7:23, are these two additional non-ikea brackets that you add yourself? Does it make a difference?

These are actually Ikea brackets that come with the trash can assembly packaging. I think that they do make a difference, because they used to be plastic and now they make them metal.

[@ijaen]

To sable counter space and many of those come with an extractor fan which would be a good space saving technique.

[@billvojtech5686]

As someone with a tiny apartment kitchen, it’s the only place I’d have it. In a larger kitchen I’d have it built into the cabinets at about chest height.

[@BM-xt5mf]

Hi Maxplus! It would literally be so helpful if you explain it to me,what's the distance from the floor that you put the Rail in for the base cabinets,it's usually 82cm or...?

[@maxplus2849]

The lower rail is measured 87cm from the top of the rail to the floor.

[@BM-xt5mf]

But Ikea suggests 82cm,if you could explain it to me why you measure 87cm without Countertop Bro?

You lay the tile to it, not under it.

[@bubumic2971]

@@irietropicals4255 And you leave it like that under it ? It does not seem or look right to me...

[@maxplus2849]

So depending on what the flooring is going to be, we set up the rails height pre-calculating the thickness of the flooring (there are different measurement standards for different types of flooring). I live in US, and here we install the kitchen with or without flooring - it is simply a customer preference.

[@notevenalittle8363]

This is an extremely misleading video. Not too many people have the range of tools to cut as you did. You also left out the finished floor and counter-top steps.

[@maxplus2849]

I am a professional installer and I use professional tools. This is why in this video I am showing all the tools I am using to get the ideal result. One probably can install the kitchen using minimal tools, but who can guarantee the quality of the end result? About the floor and the countertop- as I mentioned before, they were done by another contractor, so this is why I did not video tape that.

[@lynoreabbott1010]

One can always rent a lot of these tools. Is this a 16 gauge or 18 gauge Brad nailer?

[@Paul_Halicki]

I'm kind of shocked that someone would want to give up that much corner space (see 8:05 of the video). I had a similar situation, with just over 18" of space available next to my range. I put in a 36" cabinet and added a center post so the door could hinge from the center of the cabinet instead of the end. live.staticflickr.com/65535/52913290379_cc1e95b1bb_c.jpg live.staticflickr.com/65535/52912548192_d164772f94_c.jpg live.staticflickr.com/65535/52913582768_b4034932c1_c.jpg If you wanted drawers on the top, that would still be possible; the center post I added is a 2x4 with a strip of a spare side wall. simply extend the strip to the back of the cabinet to have supports for the drawers.
