No Insulation Behind Kitchen Cabinets
Camila Farah
Kitchen fitters are notorious for leaving an untidy shambles out of sight behind the units.
Plinths back and the face test no drafts. Inside they are like mini refrigerators butter doesn t even soften. Put on new drywall prime paint and reinstall the cabinets. The answer to this question is definitely yes.
The kitchen is so much warmer noticeably more toasty this morning take off the plinths and have a little check under your kitchen units if you ve an older kitchen like mine and invest in a roll of rockwool at 18 or thereabouts i only used one roll in the end for a 4 5m run of units. If you have a block or brick surface there is a higher likelihood of it being uneven. If i get the 200mm deep it will just need fractionally compressing to sit in the gap under the cabinets if i put it with just a minor gap at the front there will still be quite a gap at the back anyway assuming i put it 30cm or so deep so there will a decent air reservoir sitting behind the insulation and as i said this will still have some limited access to gaps in a few places so it wont. Is there a way we can insulate around the cabinets.
This of course is only in the cold months of the year but makes the kitchen uncomfortably cold. The question you should ask yourself if you can insulate under and behind your kitchen cabinet. As a result if you install a kitchen cabinet it may not fit properly. If your cabinets get cold from the wall then i would check if the wall is insulated.
