Hi, If installing corner base units I take it that no corner post will be required?
Thanks
Hi, if using an L-shaped corner base unit then no corner post is required.
Is there any tolerance between the back panel and the wall on a 900 x 900 corner unit?
Regards
Tony
Hi Tony, there is a 42mm service void at the back. Here is a picture of one that has just been installed in my kitchen.
Many thanks for the reply, I am fitting 2 corner units with a 300 in the middle and it was a bit tight but this resolves my problem
Cheers

By dry assembled do you mean you have to take each unit apart on delivery and glue them or are they serviceable to install dry?
Hi, dry assembled means that each unit is assembled but without glue. This allows you to take the unit apart, to fit into your house if there are access restrictions or you can adapt it on site and then glue it together once complete.
I notice that you now pre drill and attach all doors and hinges as standard. If I was to ask for a dry fit of L corner unit, would doors and hinges still bee put on by you?
Hi,
Yes, we still fit doors and hinges with a dry assembled unit. All dry assembled refers to is that there is no glue holding the unit together, just screws and the dowels so that you can easily take it apart and reassemble again. With regards to the doors, they clip on and off in a matter of seconds.
