Can I make a cut-out in the cupboard?

Q: Can I make a cut-out in the cupboard?

Absolutely. You can make a cut-out wherever you need it. If, for example, you want to have the faucet next to the cupboard, you can make a cut-out in the side of the cupboard for the water supply. The base plate ends at the wall. If the water supply extends slightly above the floor, you can easily make a notch in the base plate for connecting the water supply hose.

Yes, you may make cut-outs yourself for pipes and the drain, so the cabinet fits neatly around your water and power connections. Work carefully, measure the position of the pipes accurately and do not make the cut-outs bigger than necessary, so the cabinet stays sturdy.

Handy applications

Water supply: make a cut-out in the side if you want to connect the tap beside the cabinet.
Drain: the base plate runs all the way to the wall. If the drain protrudes slightly towards the floor, simply make a notch in the base plate for the drain hose.

Work accurately and safely

Always measure the exact position of your pipes before you start, so the hoses connect properly and do not kink.
Check the wall with a pipe and cable detector for existing water and electrical lines before you drill or saw.
Mark out the cut-out, use a hole saw for round holes and a jigsaw for larger openings. Measure twice, cut once.

Please note: always leave work on gas or mains water pipes to a qualified professional. Unsure about the best approach or position? Have a look at our assembly information or contact our customer service.
