ᐅ Perfect decking side _under_ wall cabinet

Hello,

I bought a Faktum kitchen with alder birch fronts. I wanted to cover the open sides and bottom of the wall cabinets with Perfect side panels. I saw this at the IKEA store and thought it was a good idea. The instructions on the Perfect side panels explain how to attach them from the side, but how do you fix them at the bottom? There is no information about this anywhere, and I’d prefer not to screw through the bottom panel of the wall cabinet from above, as that would be visible inside.

Does anyone have an idea? Is this not intended? However, I have seen this done frequently at the IKEA store.

Best regards

I don’t see another option, unless you screw the screws in from underneath the side panels. It’s best not to screw into the floor, but into the side parts. To keep them as invisible as possible, I would pre-drill a small hole and then use countersunk screws (available at any hardware store). If that’s still not enough for you, you can check if you can get adhesive film (also at hardware stores) that matches the color of the side panels. You can glue the holes slightly and cover them with the film. Alternatively, hardware stores also sell screw caps, but these are usually noticeable in color and appearance because they are not flat but domed.

Unfortunately, this is how it is done. So far, no customer has noticed or complained about it, and that says a lot 🙂 You can also buy white screws or, as already mentioned, use cover caps on the screws.
