How do I prepare to have new cabinets installed?

• <div><p>As a homeowner, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your cabinet installer. Once the cabinets are ready for your home, you can do the following:</p><ul><li><p>Ensure pets are safely in another room, out of the way of open doors and large moving objects.</p></li><li><p>Clear countertops for removal.</p></li><li><p>Tidy the floor the installers will walk through and around. </p></li><li><p>Prepare to have the installers in your home for the entire day, for multiple days, until the project is done. Expect to have a noisy environment, especially if they will remove old, existing cabinets. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Can you stack upper kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>You can stack upper kitchen cabinets, but they may not fit neatly. Because upper kitchen cabinets are typically available in these standard sizes—12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 inches—you can stack various-sized upper cabinets. But, depending on your ceiling height, these standard sizes may not work together. That’s why smaller stacked cabinets are a much more stylish and economical choice.</p></div>

Q: Do cabinet handles come in standard sizes?

• <div><p>While a three-inch center-to-center handle is common, there&rsquo;s no guarantee that sizing will be the same for every cabinet. Different types of handles have different sized holes to attach them and there are lots of different cabinet handle widths and styles. You should measure to be sure you know the size of a handle and to avoid surprises.</p></div>

Q: How are kitchen wall cabinets attached?

• <div><p>There are three primary ways to attach upper kitchen cabinets to a wall, and installers may use more than one method at a time. The most common method is to drive screws through the back of the cabinets and into studs in the wall behind. Sometimes cabinets are glued to the wall with strong adhesive. Often a combination of screws and adhesive is desirable. The last way is by hanging the cabinets on hardware brackets that attach to the wall before cabinet installation.</p></div>

Q: What is the most durable wood for kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>The Janka Hardness Scale rates wood species according to their hardness levels or density. On the scale, hickory ranks as the most dense hardwood that is common for use in making cabinets. While there are woods that are harder, they're uncommon in cabinetry. Maple, oak, and walnut also rank relatively high on the scale and are excellent for use in cabinetry. </p></div>
