HUSK offers a refined and sustainable way to enhance your kitchen with bespoke, high-quality fronts and worktops. All of our fronts are crafted in our Bristol workshop by a team of experienced makers, utilising innovative finishes including FENIX® laminate, Birch Plywood, Timber Veneer, and more.

Our kitchen fronts are designed to fit IKEA cabinets, but we also offer options for Howdens carcasses, allowing you to elevate these standard units with premium finishes and bespoke details. For clients seeking an entirely unique kitchen, we also offer our HUSK Bespoke service, tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

We recommend starting with a consultation with a kitchen planner from either IKEA or Howdens, as they can help you create a layout that works for your space. Once your layout is finalised, you can then book an appointment with us at the HUSK showroom in Bristol, where we’ll guide you through the available options for fronts, worktops, and finishes. For those who prefer to manage the planning themselves, you can use the IKEA 3D Kitchen Planner to design your kitchen, and once that’s complete, we’ll be happy to review your plans and discuss how our fronts and bespoke elements will work best.

Additionally, if you’d like a more tailored approach, we offer a range of planning and design services to help you at every stage. Find out more about our design services here.

Yes, once you’ve finalised your design, you’ll need to place your order for the cabinets through IKEA or Howdens directly. Remember to exclude the doors, drawer fronts, cover panels, and plinths from your order as these will be supplied by HUSK. If you use the IKEA 3D Kitchen Planner, you can generate an item list to ensure accuracy when placing your HUSK order. We’ll review your list to ensure everything is correct before proceeding with production.

At HUSK, we prioritise sustainable and durable materials for our fronts. Our FENIX® fronts are made from 18mm solid birch plywood, laminated with a 1mm FENIX® layer on both sides, providing a sleek and highly durable finish. We also offer Timber Veneer and HPL fronts, giving you options that reflect your design preferences while ensuring sustainability. For those seeking a painted finish, our Primed MDF fronts offer a smooth surface ready to be painted onsite or customised to your specifications.

We do not supply hinges or drawer runners, as these are typically included with the units you order from IKEA or Howdens. Rest assured, our fronts are designed to be fully compatible with the hardware provided by both brands, ensuring a seamless fit and function.

Our fronts are designed to work specifically with the IKEA Metod range. However, if you have other cabinets or more bespoke requirements, we’d be happy to discuss your needs and explore custom options to ensure your kitchen reflects your vision.

To determine if you have the IKEA METOD or the older FAKTUM range, check the inside of your cabinets. METOD cabinets have two rows of drilled holes, while FAKTUM cabinets have only one row. The FAKTUM range is no longer available from IKEA, but we can craft fronts for METOD units and help you upgrade your existing space.

While we primarily focus on fronts for IKEA METOD and Howdens cabinets, we also offer fully bespoke services through HUSK Bespoke, where we can create custom kitchen fronts and elements based on your specifications. Please contact us to discuss your project further.

Yes, we offer a variety of samples through our website, including finishes like FENIX®, Timber Veneer, and more. For worktop samples, you can contact our sales team to arrange delivery or book an appointment to visit our Bristol showroom to see the range in person.

No, we don’t pre-drill holes for handles. This gives you complete freedom to choose any handle style and mount them in a position that suits your kitchen design. However, if you’ve opted for one of our Design Services and specified your handles, we will pre-drill the holes accordingly.

It’s important to note that all our fronts come with pre-drilled holes for hinges and drawer runners, ensuring they fit seamlessly with your kitchen supplier’s components.

Our FENIX® and HPL fronts are 20mm thick, as are our Timber V-Groove and Another Country Ash fronts. Timber Veneer fronts are slightly thinner at 19mm, while Another Country painted fronts are 10mm thick. This thickness gives just the right balance of weight and durability.

If you’re planning to use a particular brand for your integrated appliances, it’s important to let us know during the planning stage. This allows us to check the compatibility of our fronts with your chosen appliances and ensure everything fits properly.

For clients who have selected our Full Design Service, we will work closely with you to source the right appliances, and we can even help secure special trade rates.

Our fronts are designed to be compatible with the IKEA Metod system, so you can follow the instructions provided with your IKEA cabinets for mounting them. If you’ve opted for Howdens carcasses, the installation process will be specific to those units. If you have a builder or tradesperson involved, they will be familiar with this type of installation.

Should you encounter any difficulties during installation, don’t hesitate to contact us for advice. We’re happy to guide you through the process and ensure your fronts are mounted correctly.

To mount plinths, you’ll need to purchase IKEA METOD legs for the cabinets. These legs come with clips that attach to the plinths. Screw the clips onto the back of the plinths, then simply snap them onto the legs.

If you’re working with corner plinths, we suggest creating a mitre joint for a neat finish. This ensures your plinth fits seamlessly around the corner of your cabinetry, maintaining the clean lines of your kitchen.

Start by aligning the cover panel with the side of the cabinet, ensuring it lines up with your HUSK doors. Use clamps to hold the panel in place, taking care to protect the panel from any marks. If the cover panel needs to be trimmed, we recommend marking and cutting from the top of the panel so that the cut edge is hidden beneath the worktop.

Once the panel is the correct size, drill a small pilot hole through the cabinet carcass into the panel (but not all the way through), then use pan head screws to secure the cover panel to the cabinet. This method ensures a stable and professional finish.

For our FENIX® fronts, we recommend referring to the manufacturer’s instructions, which outline the steps for maintaining their thermal healing properties.

For timber fronts, clean spills immediately with warm soapy water to avoid staining. Although the lacquer provides protection, it’s important to clean regularly to maintain their appearance. For more detailed care information, please refer to our Care Guide.

Please be aware that timber fronts, being a natural material, will fade over time when exposed to direct sunlight. This is part of the natural ageing process of wood.

We recommend considering the placement of your timber kitchen fronts and how much direct sunlight the space receives before placing your order.

Yes, we offer a 2-year warranty covering any production defects in our products. If you experience an issue related to the manufacturing of your kitchen fronts or other HUSK products within this period, we will repair or replace the item as necessary.

However, the warranty does not cover general wear and tear, scratches, dents, or defects caused by heat, water exposure, or improper care. Any alterations made by the customer, such as drilling or cutting, will void the warranty. It’s important to follow our care guidelines and installation instructions to keep the warranty valid.

If you need to make a claim under the warranty, contact us and we will assess the issue. If the defect is covered, we will arrange for repair or replacement. Please note that damage caused by customer modifications will not be covered.

The warranty lasts for 2 years from the date of purchase. During this time, if you encounter any production defects, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

Yes, we have a minimum order of 5 fronts – this is to account for technical and machining space. However, if you’ve placed an order with us and require one more panel later on, we can accommodate that without any issues.

Our lead time is currently 8–10 weeks from the order date as all fronts are custom-made to order. We recommend giving us a call to check lead times for specific periods, especially if your project is time-sensitive. Please bear in mind that we get busier towards the end of the year, so planning ahead is key to ensure your kitchen is ready on time.

If you need to make changes, please do so within 24 hours of placing the order. Send any updates clearly via email to shop@madebyhusk.com. After 24 hours, we cannot guarantee that changes can be accommodated.
