A question that we are commonly asked is ‘what do we mean by dry assembled’?
Dry assembled means that the unit will be delivered to you, fully built with any necessary shelves and holes required to adjust them, already in place.
The only difference to a dry assembled unit is that there is no glue in the dowel holes for the gable ends of the unit. This makes it possible for your kitchen fitter to deconstruct the unit and make modifications to work around obstacles such as boilers & pillars with in the kitchen.
The internal components (base, top and fixed shelves) will have the dowels glued into them. You only need to apply glue to the sides/gables, once amendments have been made.
If we supply replacements for just the base, top or fixed shelves for dry assembled units, the parts will be sent with dowels pre-glued into them, so you just needs to glue them into the sides/gables of the unit.
Identifying dry assembled units upon delivery
Dry assembled units are easily identified within your delivery, as they are wrapped in dry assembled tape. With regards to dry assembled units, we can supply a maximum of 3 dry assembled units per order.
How to request a dry assembled unit
To request that a unit be delivered dry assembled, add a note to the unit inside your website shopping cart.
If using our online kitchen planner, click on the unit and select the ‘Dry Assembly” option from the left.
You may also wish to request that some of our bulkier units, such as an l-shaped corner base unit be delivered dry assembled, so that the unit can be taken apart, and brought into your property, if there are no openings big enough to get the unit into your home in 1 piece.
