Infill panels

These panels are used to mask gaps between cabinets as well as between cabinets and a wall or ceiling. They allow the kitchen furniture to be perfectly adapted to the dimensions of the room.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I choose made-to-fit panels?

It is best to choose a panel in the standard size suggested by an IKEA consultant so that it can be cut to the required pieces on-site. As a result, you will avoid possible problems with dimensioning.

If you have a specific dimension in mind, you can take advantage of our configurator and select the appropriate dimension range.

If you have any doubts, it is worth asking a designer or an installer for help in determining the dimensions. You can also order panels from us after installing and measuring the kitchen.

How wide should the side panels be?

We offer panels in standard widths of 62 cm and 39 cm, which can be cut as needed. The final panel width may depend on the assembly method, unevenness of the wall, or other elements.

The width of the panel results from the sum of the depth of the cabinets and the thickness of the front.

If you have any doubts, it is worth consulting a designer or installer or ordering panels from us after assembling and measuring the kitchen.

How to choose the panel size for the Hem model?

If you decide on a panel with a frame in the Hem model, remember that cutting will require interfering with the frame. Therefore, it is best to choose a panel in the target size.

Should the standing cabinet panel have a height of 80 cm or 88 cm?

By default, the side panels in our configurator are adjusted to the height that covers the feet with a height of 8 cm. However, you can choose a custom size shorter by 8 cm, which will only cover the body, or a higher panel if the plinths are more than 8 cm high.

Which panels to choose for the side of your home appliances?

If your kitchen furniture ends with household appliances that do not have a cabinet (washing machine or dishwasher), it is best to choose a full-height panel on which the countertop will rest.

What is the largest panel dimension?

The largest panel available is 70 cm wide and 248 cm high.

How to finish the edge of a panel after cutting?

After cutting, the edge of a panel remains unfinished. Usually, such an edge is not visible, so its aesthetics should not be a problem.
