IKEA FAKTUM fronts: made-to-measure replacements

Fronts for IKEA FAKTUM - a new look for your kitchen

Do you have an IKEA FAKTUM kitchen and want to refresh it without replacing the entire cabinetry? Our fronts fit FAKTUM carcasses, mount on original hinges, and are made exactly to your dimensions, in the material and color of your choice.

What is the FAKTUM system and who are these fronts for?

FAKTUM is an IKEA kitchen cabinet system available until 2014. If your kitchen dates from 2000-2014, you probably have FAKTUM. IKEA replaced it with the METOD system, which has different dimensions and different hinges, so standard METOD fronts do not fit FAKTUM.

These fronts are for you if you have an IKEA kitchen from before 2014, the carcasses are in good condition, but you want to refresh the look, without the cost and stress of a complete cabinetry replacement.

How to tell if you have FAKTUM?

Check the year of purchase of the kitchen, if before 2014, it's FAKTUM. You can also examine the hinges: FAKTUM hinges have a different mounting method than the newer METOD. Not sure? Write to us and send a photo, we will reply immediately.

IKEA FAKTUM fronts: models and our equivalents

IKEA discontinued FAKTUM in 2014. Find your model in the table: we make the replacement front to the old dimensions (nominal size minus 4 mm) with holes for the hinges you already have. RATIONELL is the FAKTUM drawer system, not a front series; we make drawer fronts for it to size as well.

Drilling yourself? The complete drawings with dimensions and hole patterns of all FAKTUM fronts are available as the DIY pack for IKEA FAKTUM (PDF).

Vienna instead of IKEA LIDINGÖ

Vienna has a classic frame with a chamfered panel, the same character as LIDINGÖ. We lacquer it in cream, white or any colour from the RAL, NCS and Farrow & Ball palettes.

Open in the configurator: Wiedeń + FAKTUM 60×70· Vienna

Hampton instead of IKEA STÅT

Hampton has a frame and a panel with vertical grooves, like STÅT. We lacquer it in cream, off-white or any colour from the RAL, NCS and Farrow & Ball palettes.

Open in the configurator: Hampton + FAKTUM 60×70· Hampton

Smooth instead of IKEA ABSTRAKT

Smooth in high gloss (+15% on the price in the table) gives a similar mirror-like surface; all our edges have an R3 radius. Choose the colour from the RAL, NCS, Farrow & Ball and ICA palettes.

Open in the configurator: Gładki + FAKTUM 60×70· Smooth

Shaker instead of IKEA ÄDEL

Shaker has a frame with a recessed flat panel, like ÄDEL. We lacquer the white and cream versions in a matching shade, and instead of the birch version we offer Shaker in lacquer or an oak-veneered frame door (a different wood species, quoted individually). Send a photo of your door and we will match the shade.

Open in the configurator: Shaker + FAKTUM 60×70· Shaker

Smooth (matte) instead of IKEA APPLÅD

Matte Smooth is the direct equivalent. In white, choose NCS S 0300-N (cool) or S 0502-Y (the warm IKEA white).

Open in the configurator: Gładki + FAKTUM 60×70· Smooth

Smooth (different material, not 1:1) instead of IKEA RUBRIK

We do not make fronts in glass, including aluminium-framed glass, stainless steel or copper, so there is no 1:1 equivalent. If a flat front in a colour is enough for you, Smooth in lacquer (closest to glass in high gloss) is an option, but it is a different material and a different look.

Open in the configurator: Gładki + FAKTUM 60×70· Smooth

Smoked Oak (closest, not 1:1) instead of IKEA NEXUS

The closest to brown NEXUS is our Smoked Oak (stained); next to black-brown it looks clearly lighter. We cannot reproduce the birch and ochre versions 1:1, so send a photo of your door and we will advise. Our veneer has vertical grain by default, while NEXUS had horizontal grain.

Open in the configurator: Dąb Przydymiony + FAKTUM 60×70· Smoked Oak

Shaker (lacquer) instead of IKEA RAMSJÖ

Shaker is a frame with a recessed flat panel, without the RAMSJÖ moulding. We lacquer it in the shade of your fronts: black-brown, red-brown or white.

Open in the configurator: Shaker + FAKTUM 60×70· Shaker

Shaker (lacquer) or oak frame door (quoted individually) instead of IKEA TIDAHOLM

Shaker in lacquer reproduces the TIDAHOLM frame with flat panels. If you prefer oak, we make an oak-veneered frame door, quoted individually because it is not in the configurator.

Open in the configurator: Shaker + FAKTUM 60×70· Shaker

Smooth (matte) instead of IKEA HÄRLIG

Smooth in white, lacquered instead of foil-wrapped, so it resists chipping and cleaning better.

Open in the configurator: Gładki + FAKTUM 60×70· Smooth

Smooth (light grey, not 1:1) instead of IKEA SOFIELUND

We do not make wood imitations, so there is no 1:1 equivalent. The closest in tone is Smooth in light grey lacquer, without the wood grain.

Open in the configurator: Gładki + FAKTUM 60×70· Smooth

Smoked Oak (veneer, flat door) instead of IKEA LILJESTAD

Smoked Oak (stained veneer) matches the dark tone of LILJESTAD, but it is a flat door without a frame. Closer in shape is Vienna in dark lacquer, and we quote an oak-veneered frame door individually.

The FAKTUM system at a glance

  • FAKTUM is IKEA's previous kitchen system - made from the early 2000s until 2014, when METOD replaced it.
  • IKEA no longer sells FAKTUM fronts - made-to-measure fronts are the only way to refresh this kitchen.
  • Fronts were mounted on INTEGRAL hinges (a metal base screwed into the front); the drawer system was RATIONELL.
  • FAKTUM front series include LIDINGÖ, STÅT, ABSTRAKT, ÄDEL, APPLÅD, RUBRIK, NEXUS, RAMSJÖ and TIDAHOLM - all discontinued along with the system.
  • How to identify it: a kitchen bought before 2014, typically with 70 cm fronts and a plinth of about 16 cm.
  • FAKTUM and METOD fronts are not interchangeable - different dimensions and different drillings.
  • We make FAKTUM replacement fronts drilled for your current hinges: unscrew the old ones, screw on the new.
  • Thickness: original FAKTUM fronts were usually 16 mm - ours are 18 mm for extra stiffness; cup hinges mount as standard.
  • Our configurator has the real dimensions of typical FAKTUM fronts in its database - you don't need to know them by heart.

Frequently asked questions

How much do FAKTUM fronts cost?

Fronts for FAKTUM start at 243.86 EUR/m² incl. VAT in the Smooth style. In practice a 60x70 cm door, which in actual size is 596x695 mm, has 0.4142 m², billed as 0.45 m² (we count in 0.05 m² steps and round up), so 109.74 EUR per piece. Styles such as Shaker, Linea or Grip cost 312.72 EUR/m² incl. VAT, and oak veneer 416.00 EUR/m² and walnut veneer 456.17 EUR/m² incl. VAT. You enter the size in the configurator and see the price straight away, with no enquiry to send and no waiting for a quote.

Will the fronts fit FAKTUM cabinets for sure?

Yes. Our fronts are designed specifically for IKEA systems. Hinge drillings for 35 mm hinges follow FAKTUM standards - unscrew the old, screw on ours. If in doubt, send a photo of the cabinet and we'll verify together.

How do I measure fronts for FAKTUM?

Easiest way: measure existing fronts with a tape measure. If you have FAKTUM cabinets, our configurator knows the standard dimensions - just pick the model. You can also send photos and we'll help determine the dimensions.

How long does it take for FAKTUM fronts?

9 weeks from payment, delivery included. We make each front to your dimensions - it's not a stock item. Order with a buffer before installation.

I'm afraid to order fronts online. What if they don't fit?

Order a sample - you'll see the material and colour in person, in your own light. Before production we confirm dimensions via email. If a front is defective or doesn't match the order - we repair, replace, or refund.

Can I see the colour in person before ordering?

Yes. We send front samples - you'll check material and colour against your wall, in your light. Screen colours can lie, samples don't. The sample cost is deducted from the production order with code SAMPLE (orders over PLN 1000, ~ €250).

IKEA no longer sells FAKTUM. Can I still order fronts?

Yes, that's our specialty. IKEA discontinued FAKTUM in 2014, but the cabinets still serve. We make fronts exactly to FAKTUM dimensions - you don't have to throw out the whole kitchen.

Do I have to replace hinges when changing FAKTUM fronts?

No. We drill for standard 35 mm cup hinges - the same as IKEA originals. Your hinges should work. If they're worn, we recommend replacing them during the swap.

How do I know if I have FAKTUM or METOD?

FAKTUM was sold until 2014. Easiest way: look inside the cabinet - there should be a sticker with the system name on the side panel. You can also send a photo of the hinge and we'll recognize it right away.

Do you also make side panels, fillers, and trims for FAKTUM?

Yes. We make anything that can be made from a front - side panels, fillers, trims, plinths, dishwasher panels. Any size and purpose. Send dimensions, we'll quote the whole project.

Can I consult with someone before ordering?

Yes. We'll help with system, dimensions, finish, and accessories. Write to kontakt@ogony.pl or call us - we'll advise based on photos of your kitchen.

Where can I buy FAKTUM fronts now that IKEA no longer sells them?

IKEA discontinued FAKTUM in 2014 and no longer makes these fronts, so the only route is a made-to-measure replacement. That is exactly what we do: fronts for old FAKTUM carcasses, in the original size grid and with drillings for your own hinges, so you replace the front alone and the cabinets stay in place. You pick the sizes from the ready FAKTUM presets in the configurator, and prices start at 243.86 EUR/m² incl. VAT. You order as many fronts as you need, you do not have to do the whole kitchen at once.

What sizes did FAKTUM fronts come in?

FAKTUM doors came in widths 15, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50 and 60 cm and heights 35, 57, 70, 92 and 125 cm, and drawer fronts in widths 30, 40, 45, 50, 60 and 80 cm with heights 9, 13, 18, 25, 31, 57 and 70 cm. The actual width is the nominal one minus 4 mm, so 60 cm means 596 mm, while heights have their own sizes: 70 cm means 695 mm and 92 cm means 918 mm. In METOD you subtract 3 mm, not 4, and that is one of the reasons why METOD fronts do not fit FAKTUM carcasses. The heights 70 and 92 cm and the width 50 cm are typical for FAKTUM only, METOD does not have them, and 45 cm appears in METOD only in the extended doors for wall cabinets. Before you order a replacement, check how to measure FAKTUM fronts.

What can replace LIDINGÖ, STÅT, ABSTRAKT or ÄDEL fronts?

LIDINGÖ and STÅT are framed fronts; our equivalents are Vienna and Hampton (both 344.28 EUR/m² incl. VAT). ABSTRAKT is a flat front, without milling, in high gloss, so the Smooth style replaces it (243.86 EUR/m² incl. VAT, high gloss +15%) in the colour and gloss level you choose. ÄDEL is a frame door with a recessed flat panel, so Shaker in lacquer replaces it, and the birch version can also be replaced by an oak-veneered frame door (a different wood species, quoted individually). If you do not know which series you have, send a photo of the front and the hinge and we will identify it. You will find more comparisons in our text on FAKTUM fronts. FAKTUM, LIDINGÖ, STÅT, ABSTRAKT and ÄDEL are trademarks of Inter IKEA Systems B.V. We are not affiliated with IKEA and we make our own replacements.

How much does it cost to replace all the fronts in a FAKTUM kitchen?

Let us take a kitchen with 18 fronts: 8 doors 60x70 cm, 4 wall cabinet doors 60x92 cm and 6 drawer fronts 60x13 cm. Converted to the actual sizes that is 5.95 m². In the cheapest Smooth style (243.86 EUR/m² incl. VAT) such a set costs about 1450 EUR, in the styles at 312.72 EUR/m² incl. VAT (Shaker, Linea, Grip) about 1860 EUR, and in oak veneer at 416.00 EUR/m² incl. VAT about 2480 EUR. The carcasses, hinges and runners stay yours, you pay for the fronts only.

Will an 18 mm front instead of the original 16 mm fit an old FAKTUM cabinet?

Yes. The original IKEA fronts are 16 mm and ours are 18 mm, but the installation is identical, because the thickness changes neither the front size nor the spacing of the hinge drillings. The front projects 2 mm further from the face of the carcass and that is the only visible difference, the gaps between the fronts stay the same. An 18 mm board is stiffer, which matters with tall doors of 92 and 125 cm. If you want to see the material and the colour before ordering a whole kitchen, take a front sample for 23 EUR.

Which FAKTUM series do you replace?

The most common series: LIDINGÖ, STÅT, ABSTRAKT, ÄDEL, APPLÅD, NEXUS, RAMSJÖ, TIDAHOLM, HÄRLIG, SOFIELUND and LILJESTAD; for RUBRIK in glass, steel and copper we have no equivalent. We do not copy IKEA designs; we match our style with a similar character (framed, flat, veneer) in FAKTUM dimensions. The table of equivalents is higher up on this page.

Do you ship FAKTUM fronts abroad?

Yes, to 17 EU countries including Germany, Austria, Czechia and Italy. A euro pallet costs from €115 and an oversized pallet (any front over 120 cm) from €149, depending on the country. All prices on ogony.eu are in euros.
