N
ow it’s tim
e to install the cou
ntertop and
sink. This poster details the installation
care and m
aintenance of our solid w
ood
countertops.
When m
easuring and saw
ing the solid
wood tops throughout this step, w
e sug-
gest placing them
on saw
horses for easiest
handling. O
nce you’ve finished Step 5, it’s
a good idea to hire professionals to con
-
nect the w
ater, gas or electricity, and to
install the oven, dishw
asher and lighting.

The base for your new kitchen is now in place.
Now it’s time to turn your attention to the coun-
tertops and sink. In addition to the solid wood
countertops detailed in this step, IKEA also
offers a wide range in laminate countertops.
Solid wood countertops
The Step 5 poster details the installation, care
and maintenance of these durable solid wood
countertops.
• Measuring countertop lengths
• Making a corner seam
• Sawing the countertop
• Cutting a hole for the sink
• Sealing cut edges
• Installing the sink
• Installing the countertop
• Installing the tap
Bringing in the professionals
Your new kitchen is beginning to take shape!
At this point, you’ll probably need to hire a pro-
fessional to connect water, gas or electricity and
to install the dishwasher, oven and lighting.
Step 5. Install the
countertop
