Now that the ceiling is up we can build the overhead cabinets and get them installed.
We started with B&Q 300mm base cabinets, turned on their side, and then templated a curve to match the walls and roof of the van.
The cupboards were then cut to shape, and a section of 3mm aircraft plywood was cut to form the rear curved portion of the cupboards. This was trimmed in Veltrim and glued and pinned into place on the units.
We had already installed additional timber battens behind the ceiling for the cupboards to securely screw into at the top. The back of the cupboard screws into a batten on the wall, and the cupboards are also supported by a section of alloy angle screwed onto the batten. Rock solid!
Auto lifting hinges were installed and the doors ready to fit. The cupboards will have internal automatic lights in them and there will also be lighting on the underside of the units for the kitchen area.
