How to Use The IKEA Fixa Bracket For Countertop Support

In this video we talk about how to use and install the IKEA fixa brackets for your custom IKEA kitchen! These brackets are designed for quartz and granite support in an IKEA Sektion kitchen. Not only that but Kody uses them for laminate tops, butcher block and more. Sometime you need support behind a stove, dishwasher or fridge panel. The fixa bracket is great for those and also as an L-bracket for island supports.

Thank you so much for this very helpful video. We are putting together our IKEA kitchen now, with quartz countertops, and learned from you that these Fixa brackets were NOT included in the list that the IKEA designers/planners prepared for us. Even the planner who sold us the quartz countertop did not include that! The countertop installers are due tomorrow, so we got the brackets just in the nick of time. Without this helpful video (and your whole series) I would NOT have known about that. I bought on of your Tees to thank you too.

Quick, simple and super efficient information that covered everything one needs to know about what can this bracket be used for - which IKEA has forgotten to expand on … Thank you

[keska]

great video, thank you! The countertop will then just sit on those metal rails and the newly installed fixa brackets and glued to them with silicone ?

Your videos of installing ikea kitchens are great! Very thorough and tons of great tips. In this video you mention you have a video of how you build/installed the custom island. I can’t seem to find it on your site, can you post a link to it in the reply. I am building a very similar island and am wondering how you attached the dishwasher end panel to the floating floor.

Thank you for making this video, i am installing a IKEA kitchen with a granite counter top and I was wondering if I need to put a base of plywood, or do you think using the IKEA brackets will be enough? Thank you for your advice.

Thank you for this video. I’m installing my kitchen and found these brackets and wasn’t sure what to do either them. I though them leveling the cabinet top and along a span of wall. I hadn’t thought of using them as L brackets and I definitely will.

I can’t seem to find the small pieces you mentioned on the corner cabinet on the back side, can you show me a close up of what those small pieces look like? Just installed the supports but not sure I have these anywhere! Thanks and great video!

I guess I'm not understanding the reason for these? Just a little extra support for the MDF with the weight of the quartz on top of it? My Ikea planner didn't include these in my shipment, so I'm wondering if I really need to drive the 2 hours to my nearest Ikea to get these.

Hi Kode, I really appreciate your videos. I find them quite helpful. I'm trying to find the video that you reference in this video that discusses how you build that anchor wall for the dishwasher. I'm doing something similar and need to understand how to anchor the dishwasher at the end. Thank you in advance.

Dude thanks for this. I couldn't figure out what to do with this fixa bracket

[goldringsify]

Thanks for mentioning the corner cabinets, I paused and ran to drill those in. I’m just waiting for granite to be installed in my kitchen

Hi Kody, we're installing a laundry room and need to hack a 21" IKEA Sektion for a drop in sink and quartz countertop, but IKEA only makes the galvanized ventilated top rail for 24", 30", and 36" inch base cabs. Is there a way to hack these or something else we could use? Thanks for your help!

Hello! Thanks for the tips. We are about to install our cabinets but our fixa countertops are not here yet. Can we install the lower cabinets to the wall without having the fixa?

[AndrewIannitelli]

Can we use these and set them high to help with leveling out the cabinets for counters when we've run out of adjustment in the cabinets themselves? Say 1/8" to 1/4"?

I have a dishwasher next to a pantry unit & was unsure how to support the quartz counter top, could these Fixa brackets be attached directly to the pantry for support... or is there a better method ? Love the videos & would like your thoughts. Thanks

[yourpathtothebestemotional]

is there a trick to getting them to come up on the website? I didn't get them in my ikea order

[PhoBoDacBiet]

Do you cut the fixa brackets for the shallower cabinets like 15", when screwing it into the top of the cabinets for quartz/granite countertops?

[dakotakirkwood]

Do you need a bracket for each panel of two cabinets that are touching? So two cabinets would require 4 brackets?

[CyndiLH]

Awesome video...I think I will use these for installing panels above my cupboards maybe too

[lineleury]

Excellent video, thank you. I was wondering what to do with these brackets that were included in our kitchen order.
