DIY Q-Con Kitchen Questions.

[JeffersLos]

We want to build a small kitchenette in an old unit we have.

 

The size would be 150cm x 180 cm. 

 

The 150cm is strict, as it is between 2 walls, with a back wall too.

 

It would be something like this.

 

 

With sink, but no stove.

 

We should have many questions, if each one can be answered, it would be very helpful.

 

1) Can the shops (Global House etc) cut the Q-Con to your exact size? Including the sink hole? There are a few nooks and crannies, that we want it fitted into.

 

2) The floor is glossy tiled, two walls are plastered brick, one wall it plasterboard. How do you attach it to the glossy tiles and walls, is it a simple case of using cement on its edges and base? 

 

Once it is finished, we don't want it bare like this.

 

 

How easy is it to fit, connect, and put on cabinet doors etc, so that it looks more like this

 

 

Or

 

 

TIA.

A proper counter top on the Qcon would be a good idea.

Granite? 

 

Attached to the Qcon with cement?

The granite is so heavy that you probably use silicone or epoxy.

You would cut it on site, it’s a soft material.

The standard straps using plugs into the walls and nailed to the AAC

Not difficult as long as you use the correct “shark grip” plugs, you will have to get a face frame custom built so it’s not going to be inexpensive.
