How to Install an IKEA Kitchen | Idiot’s Guide | DIY Sprinter Van Conversion UK

The initial idea was to use IKEA’s METODs to structure the kitchen. At around £25 each, it’s a real cost effective and simple way to lay out your kitchen and then build on top of them.
Like most people who walk through the doors of IKEA, I immediately saw a kitchen the exact same colour as I was planning to paint mine and couldn’t stop putting things in my basket. Before I knew it, I’d bought my entire kitchen there.
Despite the price tag, I’m extremely happy how it turned out. After having to adjust the size of some of the cabinets to fit the space in the van, it was just a case of fitting the worktop, drawers and kick board.

Using the track saw to cut out the sink and hob was a game changer. Great video...new sub

Hey mate good vid. I put the same kitchen and worktop, and even the little upstand at the back of the worktop, in my van 2.5 years ago. It’s still in great condition and has even moved from one van to another! About to build a new van and will be sticking another ikea kitchen in! For the record I wouldn’t bother with the feet next time. I found it ms good to use baton and screw the whole thing down to the baton. Utterly solid.

@GreenHornCountryClub Год назад

Hey thanks dude - That's really reassuring to know! Good point, would definitely opt for that method next time too 👍

@willpolr Год назад

@@GreenHornCountryClub it’s funny but ikea seem to INSIST that you buy feet etc. it says feet MUST be bought. Always been a rebel 🤣 Seriously though without the feet you can get those cabinets so solidly installed it’s take an explosion to shift them.

@GreenHornCountryClub Год назад

@@willpolr yeah haha, I remember they wouldn’t let me leave without them. In the end I do have my water pipe running under the cabinets so I guess the space is being used for something.

@helvetecaLLC 9 месяцев назад

Hello! Is there a reason you didn’t paint sealant onto those raw dates of the counter top cuts? It would probably help prevent warping when water finds its way through those cracks. How has it held up so far? Hi from California!

@GreenHornCountryClub 9 месяцев назад

Hello California! It was just something that slipped my mind at the time. I have since added a small bead of sealant around all of the edges. It’s all holding up real well thanks! Almost looking as good as new currently 🙏🏻

@jacobrobinson6001 Год назад

Hey, nice video, we are about to do the same thing! Question: were you able to screw your cabinet feet into the floor? Also, when you adjust the height of the feet, are you able to lock them in position? My concern is if you can't screw them to the floor, or lock them, that over time they could loosen (and shorten) and effectively not provide support and put more pressure and pull onto the fastenings on the walls. Thanks!

@GreenHornCountryClub Год назад

Thanks dude! So I didn’t screw the cabinet or feet into the floor. I screwed the cabinets into the wall at the top and bottom of the cabinets and then twisted the feet until they were flush to the floor. You are right though, I was slightly concerned about them loosening over time. I’ve checked them a few times since and they’re still flush. Another option is not to use the feet at all and screw the cabinets directly into the floor 👍🏼

If they are wall units how do you get them with drawers ???

@GreenHornCountryClub 7 месяцев назад

These are standard kitchen cabinets designed to be mounted on the floor, not wall units 👍🏼

@steved2189 7 месяцев назад

What is the name of them in ikea ?

@GreenHornCountryClub 7 месяцев назад

There should be a link to everything I’ve used in the video description. I believe they’re called METOD cabinets and they come in two sizes

@MultiOutdoorman 11 месяцев назад

You DEFINITELY need to seal those raw chipboard cut-outs mate ! Theyre gonna swell and warp like a beer mat !!!

@MultiOutdoorman 11 месяцев назад

After tooling the sealant with yer finger, remove the masking tape straight away before the fixall dries !

@dannyholden6746 Год назад

Hi mate living the build what are you going to use on the doors and draws to stop them opening while driving ?

@GreenHornCountryClub Год назад

Thanks so much dude! I've got a video in the works at the moment that'll include all the little finishes like that. For the cupboards I bought some of these: amzn.eu/d/fxlQFlV

@willpolr Год назад

Doors shouldn’t be an issue. Mine (same kitchen) never open. As for the god darn mofo drawers! Never again. It’s because the weight in the drawer is directly push the drawer open. In my cupboards I have a little ledge along the front of the shelves so nothing moves and pushes against the drawers.

@rauljaimes6739 Год назад

Did you guys put sealant on the cut ends

@GreenHornCountryClub Год назад

Hey bud! The cut ends of the worktop? If so, then yes. Once the worktop was screwed in place, I applied a thin bead of clear sealant along where the two cut ends meet 👍🏼

@rauljaimes6739 Год назад

@@GreenHornCountryClub thanks for the reply! But i meant after you cut the worktop did you apply any sealant to the face of the cut to prevent damage/deterioration. Asking bc Im installing one for a kitchen

@GreenHornCountryClub Год назад

@@rauljaimes6739 we didn’t but that could definitely be a good idea! With the kitchen being in the van and their being a lot of vibrations, I just left the edges untreated and made sure the clear sealant I applied to the join was flexible
