Where it does fail, it fails at the surface and the fixings. Moisture at cut edges and worktop junctions, cabinet bases sitting on floors that occasionally get wet, and wall units carrying more weight than their fixings were rated for account for most problems we are asked about. All are specification decisions made before installation. The report sets out the appliance dimensions, worktop heights, plinth gaps and circulation clearances we plan utility layouts around, and recommends sealing every cut edge, lifting carcases on adjustable feet, keeping weight low and matching fixings to loaded weight. No statistics are invented."}
