I am in the process of demolishing a kitchen from the 50s in a condominium where we will be installing a new kitchen. The old kitchen cabinets were nailed directly with long nails into some sort of plaster/cement (about 1.5 cm deep) which in turn is on a brick wall.
When we tore down the kitchen, some plaster came off when pulling out the nails, which was perhaps not surprising considering the age. My questions are about how I should consider the wall before hanging the kitchen frames:
-Where it is loose and I can easily knock it down to create cavities, how should I handle these?
-How can I best attach the new kitchen frames?
-On a protruding corner (see image) a larger part of the plaster came off from the bricks and follows with the wallpaper. Of course, I need to remove this and some so that it will hold, but how do I best rebuild it? It will not be an area where cabinets will be attached, just a regular wall. See the attached image, NOTE it is the corner and not around the electrical outlet. I am thinking that one should perhaps cut away a piece and then replace it with plaster and a piece of drywall on the outermost part to rebuild the corner?
-How do I best handle the area around the electrical outlet (see image) where the plaster has fallen?
2. Dampen the wall with a spray bottle of water before applying the plaster render with a spatula.
3. Once everything has dried, go over the entire wall with a thin layer of the same material to achieve a smooth and nice surface for your cabinet frames/tiling.
4. If they are IKEA frames, attach their hanging rail with, for example, blue plugs and concrete screws, they'll hold like a charm.
Good luck!
