Top 5 Installation Tips From Kitchen Cabinet
Makers Renovating a dated kitchen can make a huge
difference to the look of your house, as well as
adding value. However, it can also be a very
expensive process! If youre looking to stay
within a strict budget, installing flat pack
cabinets yourself can be a great way to save
money. If youre not sure where to start once
your flat pack cabinets arrive, dont worry!
Were here to share our expert installation tips
for your kitchen cabinets.

• Read the instructions
• Why are we giving this seemingly obvious tip?
  Because so many people assume
• that they can assemble their flat pack cabinets
  without even glancing at the instructions.
  Although most flat pack kitchens are relatively
  easy to install, make sure you have a thorough
  read of the instructions to avoid frustrations
  and mistakes.
• Assemble on a table
• It might be ok spending a bit of time sitting on
  the floor figuring our your cabinets
• but this can get very uncomfortable a few hours
  in. Its much easier to assemble
• your cabinets on a table rather than having to
  sit on the floor. Throw an old blanket on the
  table and fully assemble your cabinets one at a
  time. Try to keep

• your assembly as close to the kitchen as possible
  so you only have to carry them a short distance!
• Prepare the walls
• Once your old kitchen has been removed, you
  need take some time to ensure
• that walls are smooth and level so your new
  cabinets will be flush. Repair any
• damage and if the walls are really bad, you might
  need to get a professional in to help. Its also
  a good idea to give the walls a quick coat of
  paint once theyre prepared.
• Start with a corner cabinet
• Once your cabinets are ready to go, its best
  to start with a corner cabinet and
• work from there. If there are no corner cabinets
  in your space, start with one of the ends. You
  can then add the rest of the cabinets in using
  the first cabinet as a
• guide.
• Organise your plumber and electrician
• Even if youre installing your own cabinets,
  remember that there are some things
• you wont be able to do yourself. If youll be
  needing the assistance of a plumber and/or
  electrician to rewire or install new plumbing,
  make sure you organise this ahead of time so the
  installation process isnt delayed.
