When planning your Plykea kitchen we recommend drawing up your design using IKEA's online kitchen planner tool. Once your design is finished and before ordering from IKEA you'll need to remove the parts being supplied by us.
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 👍
The IKEA kitchen planner allows you to remove all worktops and/or fronts from your design by selecting the "Change All" option on the left hand menu. Select either worktops or fronts from the resultant dropdown menu and then scroll to the far right of the available options where you'll find either "No worktop" or "No front" as shown below.
There isn't an option to remove all cover panels or plinths from the kitchen planner. It's also important to note that when removing all the fronts from your design it will also remove all the hinges.
For these reasons we recommend taking the full version of your design, complete with all worktops, fronts, cover panels and plinths to IKEA when placing your order. The member of IKEA staff assisting you with your order will then be able to remove these items from your order but ensure items you'll need such as the hinges remain included, and that you order the correct size drawer runners.
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.
