Hello everyone
My wife and I are about to purchase an Ikea kitchen. Basically, we have planned the lighting of the work surface with ceiling spotlights. However, under the wall cabinets, under-cabinet lights should be installed, as ceiling spotlights cast a shadow there.
Now I want to install built-in under-cabinet lights and not lay the cables visibly. However, cutting a hole in the cabinet to install the lights is not interesting to me, as I believe this would void the warranty.
So I thought of mounting another board beneath the wall cabinets, which I can drill through and also mill cable channels. However, this board should not be visible from the front view.
And here comes (finally) my question: As soon as I define decorator strips and cover strips on the left in the configurator for the wall cabinets, the wall cabinet has a kind of frame underneath. Is this also the case in reality, or is this just an incorrect representation by the planner? If so, I could ideally attach another board "invisibly" behind it?
