How-To Install an End Panel

Install your DIY kitchen like a professional today!

End panels are used to provide a nice looking finish at the ends of your cabinets, as opposed to seeing plain whiteboard melamine.

You can order end panels in a matching finish to your doors for a great look, choosing either end-to-floor or standard ends. Below are two examples, with end panels shown in red.

Installing end panels comes towards the end of your kitchen installation and is quite simple.

Key Tips

  • End panels are installed after cabinets are joined and fixed to the wall.
  • The end panel should sit flush with the front of the doors, and are installed the same way for both base and upper cabinets.
  • Double check before you install that you have selected 28mm screws. With the overall width of your end panel and your cabinet, a 28mm screw will ensure that the exterior surface is not broken. A larger screw will pierce the visible side of the panel.
