INTERIORS AND MODIFICATIONS


Below are pictures of installations, modifications and the guts of the cabinets.  Bear in mind that "modifying" the cabinets will void your warranty with IKEA.

Dishdrawer installed

To install F&P dishdrawers, you need a 24" INSIDE space, so a 30" cabinet was cut down to size, carefully reconstructed and reinforced. Moisture barrier was applied to the inside and to all cuts. Drawer fronts were fashioned from oven panels, and the second drawer was put together using a particleboard drawerbox from another manufacturer.  More details on the FAQ page -- DISHWASHER DRAWER INSTALLATION

Steel Support Bars for Granite Overhang

There is an oak structure under the bars to reinforce the IKEA crossbars. The bars have set screws under them to allow them to be precisely leveled. They are then bedded in epoxy putty and ehld on by 1/4" bolts threaded into the bars.
