Hello everyone,
I am about to install my IKEA Metod kitchen plinths and want to attach them as precisely as possible so that they fit neatly and without gaps. My question is: What is the best way to fix the Metod plinths so that they align with millimeter accuracy, run perfectly straight, and allow for easy adjustments later on?
I am especially interested in how to handle uneven floors and how to correctly align the plinths. Are there any special installation tips or tools that make precise fitting easier?
Looking forward to your experiences and suggestions!

Summary for the precise installation of IKEA Metod baseboards:
- Check the floor level with a spirit level and identify height differences.
- Precisely align and secure the base cabinets using the adjustable feet.
- Attach clips according to the manufacturer’s instructions, marking the positions beforehand.
- Snap the baseboards into place and, if necessary, fine-tune using minimal adjustment wedges between the floor and the baseboard.
- Finish the edges with sandpaper or suitable connectors.
Avoid applying excessive force on the mounting clips to prevent damage. This method ensures an accurate result as well as a durable and stable attachment.
