If you're looking to add a touch of luxury to your kitchen, fitting a pelmet is a great way to do it. Pelmets are traditionally used to cover up unsightly gaps between the top of cabinets and the ceiling, but they can also be used for decorative purposes. B&Q's range of kitchen pelmets come in different styles and sizes to suit all kitchens, so finding one to fit your space shouldn't be a problem.
Once you've found the perfect pelmet for your kitchen, here's what you need to do to fit it:
1. Measure the width of your cabinet tops and cut the pelmet accordingly. It's important that the pelmet is slightly wider than the cabinets so that it can be easily fitted over them.
2. Cut any mitre joints required using a mitre saw - this will ensure that the corners of your pelmet are nice and sharp.
3. Attach strips of double-sided tape around the top edge of each cabinet (or use small nails if you prefer). Make sure that the tape or nails are evenly spaced so that the pelmet will sit level when attached.
4. Carefully lift the pelmet into place and press down firmly around all edges to secure it in place. If using nails, make sure they're not too long or they'll poke through the other side of the pelmet!
