Ikea cabinet flooring first.

The room is 22 x 11 and is kitchen open to living area. I will be installing a floating floor hand scraped appearance laminate. I measured correctly with the bottom of the cabinet against the wall 4 5 off the ground. Use the first turn on the corner cabinet itself.

Many people like to put in floors first to avoid having to cut the material around cabinets and appliances. Bathroom bedroom kitchen and appliances children s furniture textiles lighting and more. Installing ikea sektion cabinets big flooring grade change so i just put up the first lower cabinet rails and threw one on to do some checks. And do not use the seam between it and the next cabinet as your miter point.

New sharp hacksaw blades will save you a lot of time and aggravation here. Dripping paint on kitchen flooring such as textured or linen look porcelain tile can be disastrous because it s difficult to remove. Put all the base cabinets in place then mark a line on the subfloor corresponding to the front edge of the toekick. I used a mixture of cabinet screws and hollow wall anchors to secure the rail to the wall hitting as many studs as possible.

Cabinet boxes need to be screwed together once they are in place on the wall. It seems that the ikea cabinets are meant to use over finished flooring on feet covered hidden by a toe kick. I mark the depth on the drill bit with a piece of painter s tape or permanent marker so i can stop drilling before the bit shoots out the other side. This is the main draw for those who start with floors.

The construction of an ikea cabinet frame akurum is particle board with a white or beech. While screws can easily be powered through without it pre drilling will prevent the surface edge from chipping out. Though you can more easily remove a paint drip on pre finished wood it will be difficult if it lands in a seam or if the paint pigment stains the wood. But if you have to install the flooring first here s a method that will avoid some of the problems i just described.
