What causes water-damaged kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Because of their location, kitchen cabinets are susceptible to water damage from sinks and household appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers. The back wall of kitchen cabinets is often obscured by its contents, making it harder to detect <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-water-seeping-through-our-laminate-wood-floor.htm">water seeping through the floor</a> and into the unit from plumbing, window leaks, and broken appliances. When the water isn’t immediately dried and is left to sit there, it penetrates the cabinets and leaves them damaged.</p></div>

How much space do you need for storage cabinets?

• <div><p>Storage cabinets can be custom or standard, depending on the purpose of the cabinet, size of your space, and available materials. If you’re looking to build something to a standard size, the usual range for cabinet dimensions are as follows:</p><ul><li><p>Height: <b>12 inches–42 inches</b></p></li><li><p>Width: <b>12 inches–36 inches</b></p></li><li><p>Depth:<b> 16 inches–24 inches</b> </p></li></ul><p>Taller cabinets typically have a height of <b>84 inches, 90 inches, and 96 inches</b>.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY inset cabinets?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to purchase RTA inset cabinets that you assemble yourself, DIYing the installation may not be advisable unless you have advanced carpentry skills. That&rsquo;s because the cabinet boxes, drawers, and doors all need to be perfectly level and precisely aligned in order for everything to open and close properly. This becomes even more challenging if your walls aren&rsquo;t plumb or your floors and ceilings aren&rsquo;t perfectly level.</p></div>

Q: Do cabinet repairs include warranties?

• <div><p>Many contractors offer warranties for repair work. Confirm terms before hiring.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a floating vanity take?

• <div><p>Depending on its size and the quality of the installation, a floating vanity can hold up to 220 pounds. The total weight it holds includes the countertop, sink, and anyone resting on the vanity as they wash their face or brush their teeth. Be sure to talk with your contractor and check the manufacturer&rsquo;s specifications to determine how much weight your vanity can take.</p></div>
