- Then you need to regulate where your island should go. The easiest way to decide the location of the island is to stand at the sink and then take one normal step out into the middle of your room.
- Next, mark where the foot lands and the kitchen island will be betwixt 6 & 12 inches beyond that point. Next, you need to measure the distance from the existing kitchen base cabinets and then write it down. In addition, be sure that all the oven doors will open when your island is installed properly.
- Regulate all the types & locations of your kitchen cabinets to include drawers, specialty cabinets or just door cabinets. Install your drawer cabinets in easily approachable areas.
- Finally, you need to order your cabinets from any supplier. Simply order end cover material for your island. All the cabinet producers make the panels that can be cut to cover the end of your island.
Step 2: Assembling The Island
- First of all, you need to measure out in two places from the extant base cabinets, the measurement will be determined in the above-mentioned step. This measurement is your layout line for your island. Next, snap a chalk line along with these marks.
- Now you need to layout your cabinets for this side and then mark all the corners on your floor with the help of a pencil. Next, you need to remove the cabinets and then you have to install 2 2x4 blocks on each corner marked in L shape. Bed each 2x4 by using the clear silicone caulk and then screw to your floor by using 2.5inch screws(drywall).
- The next thing is to install the cabinets, start the work from the corners. Simply screw all the corner cabinet to the bottom blocks. You need to remember to clamp the frames (face) together and then screw them together with the help of trim screws to make sure that the face frames look seamless now. It may be essential to shim your cabinets to make the tops even.
- You need to repeat the 2-3 step for the other side. You need to shim the space betwixt the backs of your cabinets at the top. Next, drill through with the backs & shims at the top & through bolt at the 2 sides of your island together and twice per cabinet.
- Finally you need to mark & then cut the end cap material and then install the end cap material by using the adhesive.
Caulk your cabinets at the floor line the entire way around. This will avert any spills from getting under your cabinets.
