Renovation Planning for LEICHT Kitchens
A LEICHT kitchen cannot be treated like off-the-shelf cabinetry. Renovation planning must begin before cabinetry is ordered, with close coordination between the homeowner, designer, showroom, and contractor.
Professional design services play a critical role at this stage, helping align the kitchen's architectural intent with the realities of the space.
Key planning considerations include:
Structural wall modifications and load considerations
Exact appliance specifications and venting paths
Electrical layouts aligned with tight cabinet tolerances
Plumbing locations that respect European cabinet depths
Ceiling heights, bulkheads, and lighting integration
Floor thickness allowances affecting cabinet heights
Fixed timelines to coordinate cabinetry manufacturing and delivery
Use of detailed technical drawings and 3D renderings
Early review of permits and local building requirements
Our role is to ensure the space is ready for renovation in accordance with the kitchen design provided by the showroom.

Installation & Coordination Considerations
LEICHT kitchens rely on extremely tight tolerances. Even minor deviations in walls, floors, or ceilings can compromise alignment, reveal gaps, or delay installation.
Grand Renovations manages:
Subfloor levelling and floor flatness
Wall straightening and plumb correction
Ceiling preparation for full-height cabinetry
Precise rough-in sequencing for electrical and plumbing
On-site coordination with cabinet installers
Protection of cabinetry during finishing stages
This level of coordination significantly reduces delays, damage, and costly revisions.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make with High-End Kitchens
Homeowners often encounter problems when the renovation is not aligned with the cabinetry system:
Renovation starts before final kitchen drawings are approved
Electrical and plumbing are roughed in too early
Ceiling heights are not verified against cabinet specifications
Flooring thickness is not factored into cabinet heights
Our process avoids these issues by sequencing the renovation to align with LEICHT’s technical requirements.
Working with LEICHT Showrooms in Vancouver
Grand Renovations does not sell or distribute LEICHT kitchens.
Cabinetry is supplied through an authorized LEICHT showroom in Vancouver, where clients receive design services, product selection, and ordering support. Some clients may also choose to work with a specialized supplier such as an appliance haus, which offers premium appliances, custom cabinetry solutions, and expert guidance throughout the kitchen renovation process. Our role is to:
Coordinate renovation timelines with the showroom
Review technical drawings before construction begins
Prepare the site for seamless installation
Execute the renovation to the showroom specifications
This collaborative approach benefits both the homeowner and the showroom.
