Plykea order process and checklist

Just 3 simple steps to create your bespoke kitchen or wardrobe!

1. Plan your kitchen or wardrobe with IKEA

When planning your Plykea kitchen you can either put together a plan yourself online using the Ikea kitchen planning software or you can make a free appointment with one of Ikea's kitchen planners (either in store or online) Follow this link to book an appointment.

Once that's done the next step is to decide which material(s) you would like us to quote for, which handle style you want, where you're located and if you'd like us to also include a worktop. For inspiration on all of these visit the Gallery here or scroll through our instagram @plykeakitchens.

Can't decide...that's okay! We're used to quoting using different options.

2. Get your FREE quote and visual from Plykea

Once your design is finished you need to send us your plan. You can send us your IKEA Kitchen Planner login details, along with the name of the project if you have more than one in the planner. Or if you'd prefer to send us a PDF you can print PDF your IKEA design in the Ikea Planner (include the list, elevations and plan view) and attach that to your email/ message.

3. Place your order

Before ordering from IKEA you'll need to remove the parts being supplied by us from the IKEA quote.

Please note if you're reading this before ordering from us we prefer you to send us your complete design, with fronts, when requesting a quote. And to help speed up the process if you can tell us which material you'd like, handle style and where you're located that would be great. 👍

The IKEA kitchen planner lets you remove all the worktops and cabinet fronts from your design. If you want, you can ask IKEA to do this for you—they’re happy to help. Just remember to take note of the drawer runners, hinges, and how many of each you need. When you remove the cabinet fronts, the planner automatically removes the hinges and drawer runners too. Make sure to manually add these back into your IKEA order to avoid missing anything.

Some additional points to bear in mind:

Metod Cabinet colour
IKEA's Metod cabinets come in both White, and Black wood effect. For dark coloured fronts you might want to consider the Black wood effect cabinets.

Worktops
If you're ordering your worktops from us simply have any included in your IKEA design removed from the order. If you're not ordering your worktops from us and you plan on using our spacer panels you'll need to make sure your worktop is long enough to accommodate an additional 18-19mm between each unit.

Fronts
When ordering your door and drawer fronts from us you'll need to have all the IKEA fronts removed from your order but ensure all hinges and drawer runners remain included. If your design includes a dishwasher that requires IKEA's BEHJÄLPLIG hinge you'll also need to make sure that remains included in your order. If you plan on ordering a Non-IKEA dishwasher please note the below and read the related help article.

Appliances
If you're going for appliances other than those on your Ikea plan do let us know so we can make sure any front or filler sizes are correct. For NON-Ikea dishwashers you'll need to check that it will fit a H797mm front. See our guide on how to install Non-IKEA integrated dishwashers and check with us if you have any questions.

Cover & Filler Panels
If your order from us includes cover or filler panels simply ensure any IKEA ones are removed from your order. It's worth noting however that the standard IKEA cover panels are 13-15mm thick whereas ours are up to 20mm. If you are fitting the cabinets before the Plykea order arrives make sure your fitter factors in the thicker cover panels.

Plinths
If you're ordering fronts from us your order will also include matching plinths. The standard size is H75mm, but the Metod legs are adjustable up to H105mm allowing for a service void under the cabinets (for Bora ECOtube ducting for exhaust models etc). If you need a taller plinth let us know.

We can route vents in your plinths under fridge/freezers and oven if you prefer this instead of IKEA's metal vents.

Internal drawers

If you have internal drawers in your IKEA design the UTRUSTA drawer fronts will remain on your plan even when you remove the main fronts. Let us know if you want us to quote for these.
