An excellent video indeed. My kitchen project is in two parts - I have already completed the hob/oven and high cabinetry attached to the wall (and I used Rannes’ videos for that). I am now preparing to install a 6 cabinet Metod peninsula (3.6 metres long attached to the wall at one end) with a return 2.4 metres. I have done what many others have done and that is to research widely and replayed this video many times before I started. Rannes provides those 1% items that make a difference to the final outcome and that’s so important. One point that I would like to add is when installing the cover panels, I nip the points off the screws, using side cutters - it’s only a millimetre or so. It does not affect the screw penetrating the MDF, but does ensure that the screw does not hit the outside laminate on the panel. Great job Rannes.

@kitchensbyrannes 5 месяцев назад

Thanks. I'm glad that you find the videos helpful. If you use the screws that comes with the cabinets, you'll be good as long as you don't go much further than flush. Nipping off a bit can be a good idea for sure. Going too far isn't fun.😩

Hi there, thank you so much for posting your detailed videos. They are a tremendous help. I just had one question though. If you were to put granite on your island, would those Ikea 2x4's with brackets and legs be enough to support it? Thanks Gil

@kitchensbyrannes 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. I'm happy to hear that you find the videos helpful. Short answer: yes, no problem. The legs alone can carry the load. Use a box of legs (4 pcs) per cabinet. The purpose of the support brackets is to prevent the cabinets sliding sideways.

@michaelmcallister8501 8 месяцев назад

I came across your RU-vid channel and really enjoyed your detailed videos, great work! An idea for a new video would be an island install on a floating floor with the dishwasher at the end and how you deal with the floating floor and attaching the end panel. I have not come across a video dealing with this situation. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers, Mike

@kitchensbyrannes 8 месяцев назад

Thanks, Mike, for the video suggestion. Since it'll be a good while before I get to do the desired video, I'll give you a few hints Whether the floor is floating or not, doesn't change much in regards to the "how." Only to the "when." If your floor is floating, build and secure the island. If you want all the panels to run to the floor, which you do since you have a dishwasher, those goes in after the floor. I hope your island is one row only because having a dishwasher at the end in a double row island isn't desirable. If it's one row, cut a 26x36" panel in height and create a 24" open space between the cabinet next to where the dishwasher will go and the endp panel, by using an island kit where you cut the MDF strips to 24". Mount the strips into the adjacent cabinet and the end panel. That leaves a 24" opening for the dishwasher. The big 36x96" panel must be cut to fit the back, also covering the dw opening. Got it?

@michaelmcallister8501 8 месяцев назад

@@kitchensbyrannes Given you shouldn’t screw through a floating floor I have put a 2x4 base frame in place that the cabinets of the island will sit on, this then takes the weight of the island so it’s not sitting on the floating floor and also ensures the flooring will not be able to expand beyond the 1/4” space up to the base frame. My questions/issues then are how to support the counter top at the end of the dishwasher and secure it to the floor. Is using an ikea panel sufficient support for the counter top or should there be additional “structure” along with the ikea panel (say a piece of 1/2” plywood) as well as something along the top between the last cabinet and the end “panel” (say a 24” cabinet rail). Then the question of how to secure the end “panel” to the floor, you don’t want to screw it through the flooring given it needs to be able to float. I’ve thought able adding a piece of 1/2” plywood at the end, cutting out the flooring around the plywood and securing the plywood to the subfloor and then attaching the ikea panel to the plywood which would then cover the 1/4” gap between the flooring and the plywood. In this scenario I would have to find a way to cover up the front edge of the plywood next to the ikea panel. Hopefully this is clearly described. Thoughts?

@kitchensbyrannes 8 месяцев назад

@@michaelmcallister8501 Hi Michael. It all sounds complicated. 🙂I am unsure if I understand the whole frame situation correctly, but since you have done that already, there is no need to dwell on that part. The end panel. In that situation, I connect the 26x36" (cut to height) to the back panel (36x96" cut to length and height) by use of the Ikea Island Kit. I let the panel stand on top of the floor (floating or not), but I don't secure it to the floor (even though it could be possible with very short screws). Modern dishwashers are secured into the adjacent cabinet/panel, so that is enough. The panel will be attached to the countertop with silicone or whatever the countertop folks are using. The importance of a free-floating floor can be more relaxed nowadays than earlier, where mdf was the most used material. Modern materials do not expand as much, and I don't think the "Luxury Vinyl Stuff" expands at all. It is plastic. I do not add any extra support at the top, as this will prevent the dishwasher from being installed correctly, i.e. all the way up under the dishwasher.

@ImOnlyHereToWatch 7 месяцев назад

EXCELLENT VIDEO. Exactly what I needed to gain confidence for my island install. One question: When attaching the cabinets to the wood brackets, the screws will pull the wood bracket up to the cabinet? And then the additional screws in the bracket will hold it in place? Should the two screws holding the metal bracket, installed first, also be tightened at this step?

@kitchensbyrannes 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Tim. Yes, you're on to something. Sorry for not being clear about the order of tightening the screws. The two thick screws shouldn't be tightened to begin with. Just enough to hold the brackets in place. Then you secure the cabinets to the brackets, and finally tighten the thick ones completely and add a few of the shorter screws to secure the brackets into the 2x4" further.

@kitchensbyrannes 5 месяцев назад

It depends on the thickness of your floor. If it's ½" or ¾" hardwood you can use short screws for the brackets but if you have a thin floor, youl need some screws for concrete. You can get those at your local hardware store.

are screws used for attaching the side panels to the island provided by IKEA? they are shorter than the ones used for attaching the back panel? because the back panel has the metal bracket with the lip as an added thickness to pass through.

@kitchensbyrannes 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for your question. You can use the pan-headed screws, which comes with most of the panels, when attaching the side panels too. I use those at the back of the side. At the front I prefer to hide the screws behind a hine or shelf (especially for wall cabinets) so here I use the assembly screws which are included with the cabinet box. In general, I only use screws provided with the Ikea parts, except for the screws for hanging the suspension rails.

@kitchensbyrannes 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. I am glad you like it. Yes, I let the end panels (26x36" cut at the top) extend at the back, whatever is left from letting them protrude the cabinet by 5/8" at the front. I do not make them flush with the doors because something the doors have to be adjusted outwards on one of the hinges, and then "flush" doesn't exist.

Doors being proud of panels is what you want actually. Here is why. If your doors are flush with the panel and you have to adjust one of corners where the door is hinged, outwards, it will not be flush anymore.

That's a question for the counter top company. 99% of my clients choose Quartz counters so I'm steering clear of that. From my experience, 15" will require support. Also, if you need overhang for sitting area, 10-12" of overhang should be sufficient. Make a test with cardboard or whatever you have, bring over a chair and test for yourself.

I will probably use aluminum or steel profiles, or maybe corbels. We'll see what I get today :)

I'm good with the 8ft length panel to cover 4x 24x30 base cabinet. It's short of 1/8 of an inch though. Cutting the 8ft length, I had to use an 8ft saw guide which makes the job easier but carrying it on the roof of the car is something else. I'm getting this done soon.

but ikea's countertops are 25.6" wide and thise side panel 26" wide. what do you do about that 0.4 inches?

@kitchensbyrannes 4 месяца назад

Thank you for your question. Since I've never installed a "counter deep" counter top on an island as you describe it, I've never faced the problem. 99% of my clients get quartz counters or use the 42" deep countertop from Ikea for their island.

@naninan2890 11 месяцев назад

i'm confused, can I ask you, what kind of panel do you use for the back finish panels ? on Ikea it's written that the panels are only for the sides... can you use them for both ? thank you

@kitchensbyrannes 11 месяцев назад

Yes ask away. For the back of islands and peninsulas you'll use the big 36x96"

@@kitchensbyrannes what would you use for the back of an island that is 10ft long?

@kitchensbyrannes 11 месяцев назад

@heatherwardrop6101. I would use a 36x96" and a 26x36" and I will have two uncut edges meet where two cabinet meets. This means that if you don't have a 24" and one end, you'll need two 36x96" panels.

@peterregouc102 6 месяцев назад

Questiom, why did you leave approximately 1 inch at the back of the 2 side panels, what is the purpose of those panels not to be cut where the edge of the back panel is?

@kitchensbyrannes 6 месяцев назад

I do that not to have an open visible cut at the end.

@peterregouc102 6 месяцев назад

@@kitchensbyrannes hm, ok. And what about if floors are uneven? DO you use filler to fill the gap at the bottom or sylicone?

@kitchensbyrannes 6 месяцев назад

@@peterregouc102 Nope. Do not do that either. I use zero silicone during the installation, except when I install a sink.

@@illustratedquotes I don't. I never cut the panel at the floor either. If floor is uneven or not horizontal, I leave it as-is.

When you say you use the big panels... 3 * 8 feet etc I have a LERHYTTAN Black method style kitchen and I can not see these size panels on the ikea online store ?... Does anyone know why this is ?

@kitchensbyrannes 25 дней назад

Are you in Europe? I know that the big panels aren't available on all markets, which I find weird. In Denmark, the biggest panel is 62 x 240 cm.

@thomasward8894 25 дней назад

@@kitchensbyrannes Yes in Europe ... Greetings from Ireland, Yes its very weird... been scratching my head as to how I am supposed to get it to look nice but I guess I have to chop the big panels and have multiple panels instead of one big one, its the only option for me unfortunately... Thanks for the reply and your videos they are very helpful although you make it look too easy :)

10:12 what drill bit and screws do you use when working with porcelain tile? I’m very nervous about chipping or cracking the new tile I just had installed.

@kitchensbyrannes 5 месяцев назад

I'm using this drill bit. Will not crack the tile. Start the hole by tilting the drill 45 degrees. Don't press too hard . amzn.to/48RHHnz (Affiliate link). For screws I'll use anything that goes into the hole with sufficient length.
