Cupboards

What does ‘pre-assembled kitchen units’ actually mean?
It means that the kitchen units arrive at your door fully assembled, painted, and ready to be put into place.

Do the cupboards have adjustable legs?
Yes, our cupboards have adjustable legs.

Why do your cupboards have the width dimensions 344 mm, 444 mm, 544 mm and so on?
Our cupboards frames are 22 mm thick. We have chosen to use these dimensions as the inner dimension of, for example, the dishwasher cabinet B61D is 600 mm (the outer dimension is a total of 644 mm). A dishwasher can then be placed inside the cabinet.

Are the cupboards suitable for use in bathrooms?
Yes, however they should not be installed where they will be in frequent contact with water, such as right next to a shower. 

Is it possible to order cupboards with hinges in a different finish?
Yes, you can. Our cupboards comes with brass hinges as standard. If you prefer chrome hinges please leave us a message when sending us your order request.

I want a base cupboard for a small fridge, which do I choose?
Then you should choose the base cupboard for integrated dishwasher B61D. Please let us know so that we can send you extra hinges for the door.

I want lighting in my cupboards!
For lighting please order an extra shelf for your wall cupboard to place at the bottom of the cupboard, to cover the lighting you have chosen. You or your carpenter will have to adjust the cupboard for it. We recommend to order it from Beslagdesign.

What’s the height of the optional cornice?
The height of the cornice is 65 mm.

Is it possible to choose the height of the shelves inside the cupboards?
No, you install the shelf carrier in pre-drilled holes and then put the shelf in place.

If I want cupboards from “wall to wall”, how much space do I need for “air” so the cupboards will fit my space?
Always leave at least 20-40 mm if you’re building a kitchen from a wall to another. If the measurement is the exact measurement of the space, the cupboards won’t fit when you install them.

I need to order a single side, can I?
Yes of course we can get you extra sides if you need them due to your room’s measurements. We use the same material as in the rest of our cupboards.

There are electrical outlets or other things in the way behind the cabinet, can you adjust the cupboard for me?
No, we do not adjust your cupboards at the carpentry shop, as the safest way is for you or your carpenter to do it directly on site.

Worktops

Why can’t I order a stone worktop directly on your website?
Making cuts in stone requires special equipment and is a delicate process. Each kitchen layout is unique and consequently, your worktop will be the same. We want to guarantee that your stone worktop fits perfectly. Therefore, if you would like a quote, please send us your measurements. Be careful when making those measurements to get a quote that’s as accurate as possible. The quote may be adjusted when the stone masons have taken the accurate measurements. It will be done when the cupboards are installed. The stonemason will also come to your home to measure before production can start.

How much overhang would be required for a stone worktop?
For an attractive look, allow 10mm to 20mm of overhang.

What’s the best height for an upstand?
We like an upstand to be 60 mm high.

Is it possible to measure and create a template for a stone worktop ahead of the kitchen base cupboards being installed?
No. The base cupboards must be installed and any appliances to be built into the worktop, along with taps and sinks, must be available in order to enable the stonemasons to create an accurate template.

I want a undermount sink!
Please make sure that you deliver your sink to the stone mason in good time before the production starts. The sink must be clearly marked with your name and order number.

How long will it be before I receive my worktop?
A typical lead time is approximately fourteen to twenty working days after the templates have been made. Please note that the delivery time may be longer during the summer holiday period and the Christmas and New Year weekend. Please plan well in advance.

Where will the joint in a stone countertop go?
There will be a joint in pieces that exceed the length of 2500 mm (marble, limestone and granite). The stone worktop splits in the appropriate place. Feel free to ask your stone mason when measuring where the joint will go.

What are the wooden worktops oiled with?
We use hard wax oil. Use it once every 6 months the first couple of years and once a year after that.

Where should I place a possible joint in my wooden worktop?
Place it where you think it fits best and disturbs the least, but not right next to the sink as moisture risks getting into the worktop.

Is natural stone sensitive to stains?
Yes! Marble, limestone and granite are sensitive to stains. Stains mainly occur in contact with acid. Always wipe your stone countertop clean in case of spills. Impregnate your stone with stone soap from time to time. The soap gives the stone a natural protection. Our opinion is  that stone ages nicely and gains character from use and becomes more beautiful over the years.

Can I make “ROT-avdrag” for modeling and assembly? (this information applies to Swedish customers)
No. We provide the worktop in stone and do not assemble it ourselves (that is done by the stonemason), which means that ROT-avdrag cannot be made for assembly. The worktop is invoiced from us in its entirety, including assembly, to you.

Installing

Do you install the cupboards as well?
No, we do not. If you do not wish to install the cupboards yourself, we recommend contacting a professional builder or kitchen fitter.

How difficult is it to install a kitchen from Cupboards & Goods?
It all depends on how practically minded you are. Only basic tools such as a hammer, spanners and screwdrivers are needed, along with measuring tools, patience and precision. If you feel uncertain always contact a professional builder.

Do I get material for installation from you?
No we don’t provide material for installation.

What screws to use to attach the cupboards to each other?
Use ordinary wooden screw 4 x 40 mm. To avoid a visible screw inside the cupboard please remove drawers and doors form the cupboard, then put the screw in one of the drawer rails hole or just in front of the doors mounting plates.

What is the ideal skirting board height if I would like to create a built-in look for my base cupboards?
A 120 mm skirting board is ideal, but anything between 100mm and 144mm will work aesthetically and will not obstruct the cupboard doors.

Can I fill the joins between the cupboards for a smooth finish?
Yes, you can, but it will require you to sand and paint the surface yourself after installation.

How far should it be between the kitchen cabinets and the kitchen island?
Optimal measurement is 1200 mm, but anything from 900 mm to 1200 mm works. Before you decide which model of kitchen island to choose, it is a good idea to mark the dimensions of the kitchen island on the floor with tape or cardboard. In this way, you get an idea of how you move in the room and what place the kitchen island takes.

My Butler sink need to be adjusted in height, how do I install it?
Our Butler sinks are handmade in England, therefore the size can vary +/-3%. To install it above the worktop (if desired) you  need plastic spacers to put under the sink until its reached the desired height. Use glue (to get the right one please consult your hardware store) to fixate the sink. If you need to order extra material to cover the gap, please contact us.

Which side of the door should face outwards on my cupboard for fridge, freezer and dishwasher?
Look carefully, the outside of the door has the same shaker frame (for carpentry with a shaker profile) and appearance as the other cabinets! T610FF and T610F comes with internal hinges, that are used if necessary, if the installation of the appliance requires it. B61D for dishwasher comes without hinges. Be careful when fitting the doors so you don’t screw through. Carefully read the cupboard’s description and measurements under each product in our web shop.

How do I adjust the cupboard doors?
For the dimensions of the hatches, it is calculated on a gap of 2mm all around and a gap of 2mm between hatches, it may differ slightly from time to time during the year depending on humidity/temperature etc. This is standard as our doors and fronts must have a range of movement so that they do not seize during humid summers when the doors and fronts can swell slightly. You or your carpenter adjust the position of the door via the hinges. The rear screw adjusts the door forward/backward and the front screw adjusts the position of the door as seen from the front.

How do I place the inserts in the drawers?
To place the insert in the drawer, the drawer may need to be lifted out of the cupboard. Depending on the fitting and its screw, a countersunk screw may also be needed for the insert to fit. Then drill with a larger drill from the inside of the drawer so that the head of the fitting screw fits into the drawer front, NOTE do not drill all the way through the drawer front, then mount the fitting as usual.

Which screw do I need for knobs or handles?
If you buy knobs or handles from us, the screws are included. Otherwise, use a mounting screw that is at least 28 mm long. Screws for knobs or handles are available at your hardware store. For the best result, detach the drawer fronts on cupboards with drawers, fit the knob or handle and then put the drawer fronts back on. For inspiration and pictures of how we like to mount knobs and handles, look under the references heading in the main menu.

I have questions regarding the installation, who do I contact?

What refrigerators and freezers can be built into your cupboards?

Where can I find a “dishwasher cutoff” for my Roma faucet?
In our webshop!  We and our supplier of faucets are always available for questions regarding our faucets and their installation. You can also use an electric cutoff instead of a dishwasher cutoff on top of the counter. These are provided by your plumber. Read about the requirements for installing a dishwasher in your home insurance.

Is it possible to undermount a Butler sink?
No, If you’re looking for a porcelain sink to undermount please choose the Classic inset sink. Please note that it is heavy and needs extra support. Discuss this with your carpenter if you’re not  the one doing the installation.

How many knobs do you recommend to use on your wide base cabinets with drawers?
It is a matter of taste, but be aware that in the long term the drawers run the risk of becoming crooked if you choose to use two knobs on a drawer front, as you tend to only use one when pulling out drawers.

Care advice

Do not use too strong cleaning agents.
Feel free to use a microfiber cloth or a cotton cloth when cleaning doors.
Wipe up spills, water and dirt as soon as you can.
Wipe the oak drawers clean with a slightly damp cloth.
Be careful when cleaning the floor in front of the cupboards, don’t use too much water.
Do not use caustic cleaners on your countertop. Wipe up spills of lemon, ketchup, tomato and other acids immediately.
Steam from, for example, kettles and dishwashers can cause damage to kitchen cupboards in the long term. Therefore, do not place machines that emit steam directly under a cupboard. Wipe off steam from the dishwasher after opening it. It is especially important if you have a wooden worktop.
Adjust doors and drawers if necessary after a period of use.
Stone worktops come with separate care instructions from the stonemason.
Clean the fan, dishwasher and oven regularly and it will last longer.
