Upper Cabinet Mounting

10 years ago

How were the cabinets mounted flush to the soffit? The Ikea installation instructions mention there will be a gap (~5/8") from the top of the uppers to the ceiling - which we don't want in our kitchen. Our setup is very similar to this kitchen. Thank you!

This is more of a question for a general contractor. Our doors can be mounted flush to a soffit or ceiling as long as the cabinet boxes have been mounted in the proper position to allow for it.

Do you use cover panels for the cabinet sides or attach veneer to the ikea boxes?

Hello. We typically use panels of the same material as the door fronts to create a complete and unifying look from the front and sides.
