In this video I explain how and why I try to retain the factory edge of kitchen end panels and put them on the floor.

Hi Del, great tip to seal the edges, I have found some of the edges are as sharp as razors so I generally carry a small 50mm fine roller to apply the water proof glue saves getting cut fingers if you happen run along the edge. Great help to all those that don't know as always. Have a great weekend. 😊

I'm fairly new to the kitchen fitting world but picked up and tin of Rustins quick dry sealer and a cheap 1/2" or flux flux brush. It's great, you can really see it soak into the wood. However, I don't work at your pace so sort of plan in dry time...it helps when you are a bit slower!! Keep up the great videos and hope you are feeling better now.

ya can tell its getin into winter... youve retired ya shorts for the year. i almost always go factory edge down for end panels. or i use iron on edging if im concerned about water ingress. suppose pva would be an equally good solution. another one i do and i dunno if others do it.... for howdens kitchens on the wall end panels i screw a couple of kd blocks to the top of the panel to hang it on the wall units. then clamp and screw in place

could you not just put a spacer under the end panel at the bottom so it is off the floor, clamp and thens secure to the cabinet, would be helpful if fitting laminate/vinyl plank flooring after kitchen is installed and could then slide the edge under the end panel for a neater finish. Also would you not cut the end panel back at a right angle to let the plinth sit flush to the wall? Not criticising as love videos just curious if these are options. :-)

Hi Gareth🖐Everything you mention would have been suitable here, the only problem with this job was the builders had a lot of things in the wrong order, plus they wanted the kitchen fitted before the client had chosen the floor. There was lots on this one that I wouldn't have personally done, but you know what they say about the customer always being right😵Cheers Del

As well as putting the factory edge down to the floor, do you ever consider putting a (say) 6 mm spacer under all panels and plinths? If the gap is large enough it can be considered part of the design, avoids any water and will negate the use of that horrible plastic channel that always get filthy.

Hi there🖐Great comment and YES I have talked customers onto having a shadow gap under the end panels as it, almost, guarantees the panel won't suck up and spilled water👍Cheers Del
@whitefields5595
@whitefields5595 6 ай бұрын
It also gives a crisp upper line to the shadow gap and may well reduce any undulations in the floor. I suppose the gap will be some multiple of the floor undulation amplitude. What about backlighting it so you get a lit gap rather than a black gap? At Jaguar we used to obsess about panel gaps on the openings. Body factory final buy-off was a bloke with a stick. (On the Mini in the 1970s they used to stretch the door frame with a jack on the diagonal to fit the door, as the door could not really be tweaked) Can you try it so I don't have to? Also have gap above the plinth to make it easier to pull off, back light that too? .... useful next video on these dark nights 😇@@thetallcarpenter

Hi Rachel🖐Yes, you can cut the front lower, damaged edge of the end panel off, carefully with a multitool👍J can't really advise on the plinth, but you may be able to rob enough from a corner join to shut the gap left where the end panel was🤞Cheers Del

@rachelf6207 Жыл бұрын
@The Tall Carpenter thanks. I will just replace the plinth with a longer length as it has blown on the edge too. The longer length will run across the rough edge of the panel then, hiding it. Will then use a sealant too to avoid water damage again.
