TOOLS & HARDWARE

YOU WILL NEED

2x clamps, a manual or electric screwdriver, tape measure and 

silicone or glue. Our screw heads are Philips head 6mm and 8mm. 

Please make sure your screw bits fits this size.

NOTE 

Fronteriors fillers are produced in standard width/heights and need to be cut 

to size on site. Where necessary, our filler pieces are accompanied by 

a wooden batten which functions as a bracket to easily attach the filler to

 the side of the frame. We recommend that fillers are installed before fixing 

cabinets to one another and/or the wall. This will ensure easy access to 

the side of the frame in tight areas.

INCLUDED

Wooden Batten and 40mm screws.
