I hadnt seen the pic till now, doesnt show up on my phone. this is a safe idea so long as those bits are glued in place so they dont fall out from vibration. simply to keep it above the floor line in case of a flood. IN the bathroom, most guys just slap broken bits of fibrecement sheet under the vanity before mounting it to the wall. The floor is the strongest substrate right, gravity works WITH it, not against it. Sure its great for wall cabinets, but not floor cabinets. Maybe for stick and plasterboard houses its required. I just screw it to the wall with ram plugs or if the boss inst around to inspect my work, nail plugs. The ikea hanging rack thing is far too complicated for what it does. not talking about wall hung vanities at all. No no, we are saying wall hung is stupid for something that is meant to look like its on the floor nto to mention supposed to sit on the floor. Only usefull if the bottom face covered in something from factory.Įlse, it just has to sit proud of the findshed floor. It may be usefull for u but not on the actual bottom face of the side panels, as the weight would just scratch it off. We also put that stuff all around any cut hole for pipes and along the cuts around any item going in a benchtop. so we just run a roller around the base about 5mm wide and let that dry before sticking it in place. the theory is the cabinet sits on its vinyl layer, but the join is just above the ground and needs to be sealed. We just have a litre of it in the van ready to go after cabinrts are assembled.
GOT BIT WATERROOF INSTALL
When we do a wet area install (laundry or kitchen with tiled floor butting up to cabinet) with kaboodle or ikea stuff (chipboard or mdf with vinyl covers) we cover the vinyl joins with a quick coat of zinssers white waterproof paint. I too think that wall hanging floor vanities or base cabinets is stupid. In ops defense, a concrete slab house with tiles may just drain water to the drain in the even of a flooded machine.Īnd in that case the only problem is cabinetry or anything whixh sits on the floor in the vicinity.
