Good evening,
I will be building my first single-family home in the middle of the year and would like to install an Ikea kitchen. In the past few days, I have dealt with the IKEA kitchen planner and today I also looked at the Ikea kitchens on site (Oldenburg). So far, so good...
At the moment, I imagine the kitchen as shown in my gallery (everything is not final yet, but pictures say more than words). I now have the following questions:
1.) Corner connections of the countertops? There is a simple 90-degree angle or the countertop connection (if I have read that correctly). If I now order, for example, a PERSÖNLIG countertop or a HAMMARP countertop, will they be cut exactly to size so that I can install the plates? I assume that the plates are then pulled together on the underside and the joint is sealed with silicone. Correct? We have a Makita plunge saw (SP6000), but cutting the 90° angle of a countertop with it - my dear...
2.) Appliances: Wow. This is not so easy at all. I basically need everything: dishwasher (dishwasher), oven, microwave, extractor hood, induction cooktop. If I have read the threads here correctly so far, the biggest complications are with the dishwasher, right? Currently, I have the Siemens SN66P082EU in mind, but also just because of the price/performance ratio. Is there an "overview" of suitable appliances or how do I best proceed?
3.) Measurements: As mentioned, this is a new build and I usually measure with a Bosch line laser at three different points. I would then double-check such a critical measurement with a tape measure. Does IKEA need the measurements to be accurate to the millimeter or should you always add a little extra? That might be difficult with my U-shaped kitchen...
4.) "Dropped" countertop: I have seen a few times now that thick countertops are led down at the carcass (no idea what it’s called). How can I depict that in the IKEA kitchen planner?
5.) Question about the kitchen planner: The program is extremely slow for me on three different computers (Firefox, Chrome, IE). Are there any important settings? The plug-in is installed.
6.) Discount promotions: Are there any somewhat "regular" discount promotions at IKEA for kitchens (e.g., at the end of the year, etc.)? There are always these 10%-voucher promotions. With a kitchen purchase of several thousand euros, that can definitely be worthwhile.
Thank you very much,
Moritz
I believe there will be various other questions in the coming weeks...
