Great Ikea Countertop Installation

The overall installation process goes like this.

Ikea countertop installation. Make sure to set the pocket hole drill bit for the size screw you are using. That bumps up the cost of course. The corner is the most intimidating part of the whole installation.

My IKEA kitchen designer recommended I used the FIXA countertop support brackets 70274628 to cover the tops of the side panels. The brackets are designed to increase the height of the cabinet for some of the laminate countertops but it can be installed flush on the side panels to provide added. Drilling two pocket holes on each side of the cut about 8-12 inches apart.

It makes sense because IKEA has a variety of countertop options ranging. Mum chose one of the prefabricated laminate countertops from Ikea that has a concrete look. No seams over the dishwasher or cooktop due to support issues.

Some wood tops will also require sealing and post-installation care as per product instructions. Heres our kitchen ready for countertops. When I shared an Instagram story sneak peek of the IKEA KARLBY walnut counters Hubby and I were installing in the turquoise and copper powder room makeover I received a TON of messages asking about cuttinginstallingquality.

We are super happy with them and am glad we purchased them through IKEA. The cost of installation is included in the price of IKEA countertops. But confident DIYers have tackled the job successfully.

Our ready-made and custom-made kitchen countertops are tested against everyday kitchen challenges like liquids oil food and scratches so you know they will last. We had the old countertops demoed so the installation was pretty seamless. The countertops were not DIY thank goodness IKEA sent a crew over to measure and install the countertops.
