Should I install my kitchen myself?

There are many things to consider when you want to do it yourself. We have gathered a few tips to get your DIY-kitchen started.

Pick up your kitchen

With a complete do-it-yourself kitchen project, the first item on your 'to do list' is to find a practical vehicle or trailer to transport the items to your new kitchen safely home.

You'll pick up your new kitchen at your local Kvik store in flat packs, which are easy to pack in your van or trailer. You should definite enlist a strong friend to can help you carry and load.

You can also choose to have us assemble the kitchen elements in our workshop and pick them up already assembled to make installation easier.

The cornerstone of your kitchen

If you need to install a kitchen island, it's crucial that you have the foundation 100% in order. The plinth is the kitchen's "cornerstone" on which your base cabinets and table top rest. If the plinth is unstable or not level, your kitchen won't be straight. Beyond it being annoying, it's easy to imagine what will happen if you set an egg on a worktop that's not level…not a particularly cool scenario!
