Where to Place Kitchen Plinth Mounting Plates My fitter has scribed the top of the plinths with the inevitable result that there's a gap between the bottom of the plinth and the floor in places, so the info here is really useful. Don't worry about being a couple of mms out as each clip slides a bit, giving you some leeway. Positioning the Clips On the Kitchen Plinth

If you're forced to use a cut edge for cost reasons, then I'd seal it with clear silicone as the last thing you want is a moist plinth.

Other DIY Kitchen Guides After my main kitchen cupboard plinth was in place, it gave me a new starting point for my last bit. This was so I could continue joining kitchen plinths together.And as my drill bits were all a bit long, I drilled through a slim off cut first before making my proper holes. This kitchen fitter does exactly that.I always ask what sort of flooring is going down and always leave the plinth off until the floor has been tiled or vinyl layed or even laminate floored The height of your kitchen plinth will obviously depend on how tall or short the legs have been adjusted. Also, the kitchen fitter has left quite a big gap between the top of the plinth and the bottom of the cabinets all round. I was expecting the top edge to fit tightly up to the cabinets just like it did in the old kitchen.
