I am about to hang some kitchen wall units and I have a slight problem.....
The wall where the units are going to go is not straight, out by approximately 5mm at either end (taking the datum as the centre of the wall as the wall slightly convex). The wall layout is:
800mm unit, 300mm unit, 100mm gap, 600mm extractor, 100mm gap, 300mm unit, 635mm corner unit.
Having only ever fitted units once before on a straight wall I need some advice. Although there is not a continual run of units, I do plan on having the pelmit (erm, the bit of wood which runs across the top of the units) as a continual run with the space around the top of the extractor enclosed by a spare end panel.
The units are from the Magnet Metro range and can be adjusted forwards/backward, up and down.
What is the best way of ensuring that the front of the units are level?
Should I fit a slim (3-5mm) battern close to the bottom of the units and pack it out with Gripfill? Or is there any other advice as all the sites I can find talk as if walls are level - or is this normal and should be considered level?
Any help most apprecuiated
