Hello,

I bought a Faktum kitchen with alder birch fronts. I wanted to cover the wall cabinets on the open sides and bottom with Perfekt side panels. I saw this at IKEA in the furniture store and thought it was good. Now, the Perfekt side panels state how to attach them on the sides, but how do I do it at the bottom? It doesn’t say anywhere, and I don’t really want to screw through the bottom of the wall cabinet from above. You would see that from the inside.

Does anyone have an idea? Is this not intended? But I have seen it often at IKEA in the furniture store.

Best regards

Bigfan

I don't see another option, unless you screw the screws from underneath through the top sides. Preferably not into the bottom, but into the side parts. To make them somewhat invisible, I would pre-drill a small hole and then use countersunk screws (you can get them at any hardware store). If that's still not enough for you, you can check if you can get adhesive foil (also at the hardware store) that matches the color of the top sides best. Glue the holes a bit, put the foil over it. Or at the hardware store, you can also get screw covers, but they are usually noticeable in color and appearance because they are not flat but curved.

Unfortunately, it is done that way. So far, no customer has noticed or complained about it, and that says something :) You can also buy white screws or, as already mentioned, put cover caps on the screws.
