Hello everyone, I am currently planning to install Ikea Metod kitchen base units in my apartment, which has underfloor heating. My question is: How can I fix the Ikea Metod kickboards so that they hold securely, are not damaged by the heat from the underfloor heating, and at the same time do not obstruct the necessary ventilation of the heating system?
I have heard that some adhesives or fixing methods can be problematic due to heat generation and material expansion. I am especially interested in practical tips for mounting the kickboards—possibly solutions with specific clips, adhesives, or screws that have proven to work well.
Perhaps someone has experience or knows official recommendations from Ikea, or professional tips I should consider during installation. Thanks in advance!

Regarding the adhesive: Only special, flexible construction adhesives with a temperature resistance of at least 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit) are suitable.Thanks, that’s very helpful regarding the adhesive. I will still try to use the clips and avoid adhesive.

For underfloor heating, it is advisable not to screw the baseboards to the floor, as the heating mat underneath could be pierced.That’s a very good tip! My kitchen is built on a screed slab with an integrated heating system. So I will only attach the baseboards to the kitchen units. Does anyone else have tips for optimal installation without fixing to the floor?
