Can you install a bathroom cabinet yourself?

• <div><p>Not exactly. While this is a fairly straightforward task to handle without professional assistance, it’s not one that you can do completely on your own. You’ll need a strong person to hold the bathroom vanity level and in place while you screw it into the wall. It’s heavy, so you want to ensure you have help installing it.</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: How thick should I make my pantry shelves?

• <div><p>The depth of your pantry shelves should range between 12 and 24 inches, depending on how high it sits on the wall and your pantry size. Higher shelves should fall on the thinner side since it is harder to reach deep shelving areas the higher you go.</p></div>

Q: What are the best practices for caring for newly installed cabinets?

• <div><p>Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and keep cabinets dry to prevent damage.</p></div>
