Hello everyone,

I am currently planning to install the Ikea Metod plinths in my new kitchen and am looking for a fastening method that is both simple and sturdy. It is important to me that the plinths not only fit well but also hold securely over time without coming loose or requiring much maintenance.

I have read that some users work with clips, others recommend screws or special adhesive methods. Maybe there are also tips or practical experiences to consider during installation, especially regarding different types of flooring or wall surfaces.

Does anyone have advice or proven methods for fixing the Metod plinths that are easy to implement but still remain very stable?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Snap the clips into place and check that they are all properly secured. If the floor is slightly uneven, align the baseboard using shims. I only use screws for particularly long sections.

A final tip: before installation, lightly sand the baseboard to improve adhesion if using adhesive anchors.

If the clips are not sufficient, combining screws and construction adhesive can provide long-term stability. The alignment of the baseboards is also crucial to avoid installing them under tension, which can damage the material over time.
