More than 10 years of working experience in building materials, home decoration.
Whole-house customization is a consumption that needs to be carefully chosen, because it not only involves the aesthetics of the home, but also affects the practicality and comfort of the home.
Before choosing a whole house customization, consumers need to understand some key issues to avoid being pitted.
Today we will talk about how to buy a reliable home customization!
1. Choose the plate brand, don't look at the customized brand
What we need to understand is that the current whole house custom brand is not made by ourselves, so when buying, we must first understand what kind of board and brand are used.
The quality of the board material is directly related to the environmental protection and durability of the product.
Friends in the south, suitable for multi-layer boards, good moisture resistance and stability, easy to process. Friends in the north can use granular plates, and there are a variety of options for color finishes, which are cost-effective and have good comprehensive performance.
However, it is important to note that there are many types of particle boards on the market, and it is important to choose a brand of board to ensure quality.
For example: Daya, Dew River, Millennium Boat, Bunny, Penghong, etc., if the budget is sufficient, you can also choose imported products such as Egger, Kronoseb, Klive, etc.!
2. Custom hardware for the whole house
The core component of the wardrobe determines its lifespan. The wardrobe can be used for three or five years, or even more than ten years, and it will not be damaged, and the damaged ones are generally metal parts.
Either the handle is off, or the cabinet is not locked, or the drawer is broken.
Therefore, the hardware of the wardrobe must be well chosen. The quality of the hardware determines the quality of the product, and there is a world of difference between the two.
Especially when opening the door, be sure to find the right brand.
If you have enough budget, you can choose Blum and Heidi; If you have a normal budget, you should choose the domestic Hiphi and Dongtai DTC.
3. What is the level of environmental protection?
Let's not talk about the price, if the cabinet is not environmentally friendly, even if you give it to you, you can't buy it, because the environment is related to the health of the family.
The man-made panels produced in China are in accordance with the requirements of GB18580-2017, that is, the E1 grade is 0124 mg m3 or less.
Note: "E0" is an internal standard, not a national standard.
If you want to be more environmentally friendly, you can also consider the European standard E1, the Japanese standard F4, and the American standard NAF, but be sure to ask the manufacturer to provide a formal test certificate to ensure that the quality of the product is up to standard.
4. Figure out the pricing method
There are usually two pricing methods for residential customization, one based on the floor plan of the project, and the other is extended.
The projection area is calculated by multiplying the length of the cabinet by the height, which is relatively simple.
Usually, the amount of board used is unlimited, and it is suitable for using larger wardrobes, such as tatami mats, bookcases, shoe racks, etc.
The open area represents all the panels in the wardrobe, that is, each board you use is counted separately, so that it will be more transparent.
It is suitable for cabinets, open cabinets, etc., and cabinets with low requirements for plates. No matter what it is, make sure to make sure you don't fall for it.
5. What is the thickness of the backing plate
The back is the most vulnerable part of the wardrobe, it is like a person's spine, if the back collapses, then its useful life will come to an end.
Therefore, the thickness and size of the backplate are the key to determining the life of the cabinet.
The most popular whole-house custom cabinets on the market today are made of high-density 5 mm thick boards and 9 mm thick grain thick boards.
There are two ways to install it: one is slotted and the other is gun-nailed.
Of course, the structure of the 9 mm particle board on the back plus the card slot is the most stable, and the card slot structure is installed in such a way that the back plate is not attached to the wall, so as to prevent the cabinet from being wet and deformed due to the damp wall.
6. Select the cabinet door material
The paint surface of the cabinet door is related to whether the appearance of the wardrobe is beautiful and beautiful, and the first thing to see is whether it is beautiful.
At present, the market is divided into double-layer finishes, PET, baking paint, acrylic, polyvinyl chloride, solid wood boards, etc. High-end furniture is mainly lacquered and solid wood, but the paint surface on the furniture will also have scratches, usually pay attention to maintenance, can not be scratched, once damaged, it is difficult to repair, so it must be replaced.
At present, the main products on the market are PET and **sensitive films, which are anti-light and beautiful. However, it's also not cheap because it's not too durable and can easily leave handprints on it.
It can be used in public places such as living rooms and kitchens to improve the aesthetics of decoration.
Now the most used is the double-layer finish, which is economical, wear-resistant, and non-slip, such as eco-boards, paint-free boards are such materials.
7. Find out the cost of the addition
It is said that there are many pitfalls of whole-house customization, and many times, customers rush to pay a deposit without understanding these additional costs, and when it is time to place an order, they only know that they have to pay the full price, which is too far from their original budget.
Cabinet accessories include gas pipe pillars, drawers, baskets and other functional hardware, baseboards, adjustment belts, side sealing plates and other accessories, plus fees.
The wardrobe includes, hinges, clothes rails, sliders, handles and other hardware accessories, such as glazing boards, curling edges, etc., at an additional cost.
If you don't have a lot of budget, you can buy a full set of home hardware yourself, which can be halved.
8. Three points of finished products, seven points of assembly
It is very important whether the whole house customizer you choose has its own team construction, and now the best suppliers of the whole house custom brand are outsourced.
Due to the lack of strict construction specifications, the production and production process of new products are not well understood, and the design is not communicated with during installation, resulting in a high error rate.
The results after installation are unsatisfactory and frustrating. If the construction period drags on for too long, the rework takes too long, and in the end you will have to pay for it.
Please note that before choosing a custom product, you must ask the supplier to provide more than two installation sites for field testing before making a decision.
9. What is the qualification and reputation of the customized company?
When choosing a whole house customization company, you must first understand the company's qualifications and reputation.
Check the company's business license and related qualification certificates, learn about the company's history and reputation, as well as customer testimonials, etc.
Choosing a company with a good reputation and reputation can guarantee customized quality and service.
Before signing a contract, it is necessary to understand the customized construction period and schedule, including the timeline and responsible party of material procurement, processing and production, on-site installation and other links.
This avoids unnecessary disputes and delays in the customization process.
At the same time, it is necessary to understand the company's after-sales service policy, including the warranty period, maintenance scope, service response time, etc., so that problems can be solved in a timely manner.
Conclusion:
Whole house customization accounts for a large part of home décor and costs the most.
It usually affects the aesthetics of the entire décor and the quality of living after moving in, so be sure to do your homework before buying.
In addition, the function and appearance of the whole house custom cabinet are determined by the designer, so it is especially important to choose a qualified designer.
