1. Cabinet customization, the 8 pits that are most likely to be misled.
1. Design. The cabinet is actually more complex, the cabinet, the countertop, the water and water points, embedded appliances: water purifier, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and circuit reservation.
2. Cabinet door. Baking paint, ppt and other glossy surfaces, it looks like a high-end atmosphere, but in the kitchen heavy oil area, to scrub frequently, these two are not only not resistant to dirt, but also easy to scratch, in fact, double finishes are very suitable, cheap and scratch-resistant.
3. Sink. I only saw the 304 material, and the result was that 304 was fake, the material was poor and easy to rust and not wear-resistant, so we should look for 304 or SUS304, and SVS304, DUS304, etc. are all fake.
4. a countertop. Quartz stone on the countertop is used the most, but the quartz stone is not only different in thickness, but also has 369 in quality, and the poor quality oil stain is easy to penetrate and difficult to take care of, so we must pay attention to the stone content of quartz (more than 90%).
5. Hardware. The hardware of the cabinet is more abundant, hinges, tracks, lifting baskets, support rods, etc., it is easy to buy fake ones if you are not careful, and after half a year, abnormal noises and clamps. Hardware must be bought well, it is very important!
6. a partition. The cabinets are full of bottles, cans and all kinds of bags, and the partitions are a waste of space, and it is particularly difficult to find, but the drawers are easier to see through at a glance.
7. Right angles. The countertop is right-angled to save time and effort, but the oil stain is difficult to take care of in the later stage, and the arc design is a reliable design.
2. Whole house custom cabinets: 18 questions to ask clearly!
1. The material used for the cabinet door.
Paint-free doors also refer to PVC veneer doors, the core of the board is a solid wood composite door or a molded door, and the surface is made of vacuum blister processing, the gloss is not very high, and it is easy to appear marks when it encounters hard things.
It is recommended to buy baking paint, which is wear-resistant and durable, and cost-effective.
2. The material of the countertop.
The countertop is made of artificial stone, the best grade is cost-effective, the marble is easy to be corroded, and there are gaps in the splicing, so it is better to choose artificial stone.
To choose: quartz countertop, wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant, high hardness enough, not afraid of scratches, clean and easy to take care of, long service time.
3. The size of the wall cabinet.
The industry standard is 35cm, but some range hoods are at least 33cm, and if you do it by 35cm, you may not be able to close the cabinet door, so you can determine the size of the range hood before you customize the cabinet to avoid the cabinet not being closed.
4. Choose an undercounter basin for the sink.
The sink must be selected under the counter basin to be easy to drain, easy to clean, more practical, the countertop basin is not easy to drain, easy to have sanitary dead corners, not easy to clean looks not very beautiful.
5. The thickness of the material used for the cabinet board.
The thicker the cabinet plate, the more expensive, the general cabinet plate is 15mm, it is recommended to choose 18mm thick plate to make cabinets, although it will be more expensive, but the durability is better, not easy to deform and collapse.
6. The installation is made of anti-mildew glue.
The decoration company generally comes with ordinary silicone glue, which is cheap, and its own porous structure determines that it will inevitably turn yellow and mildew in a long-term humid environment.
There is a new type of sealant, the scientific name is MS modified silane sealant, non-porous structure, no water absorption, and will not appear yellowing and mildew after a few years.
7. The selection of water retaining strips.
The inscribed corners of the retaining strip and the table top must be arc-shaped. The arc angle is not easy to hide dirt and dirt, and it is easy to clean and clean, while the right-angle one is not easy to clean, or it is not fully cleaned, it is easy to have residues, and it is easy to breed bacteria.
8. Aluminum alloy is selected for the baseboard baseboard.
The baseboard of the base cabinet must be made of aluminum alloy, and must not be made of plastic, which is very fragile and easy to fall. The aluminum alloy is not easy to fall, the durability is relatively long, and it is not easy to be damaged, and the cost performance is very high.
9. Hardware accessories.
Hardware must be purchased by yourself. If the hardware is provided by the decoration company, remember to check the model and quantity on the contract to avoid the lack of money.
If you buy it yourself, it is recommended to buy it in a physical store so that you can get a better idea of the size and quality.
10. The faucet can be pulled out.
It is recommended to choose a pull-out faucet, which is very inconvenient to clean things with a non-pull-out faucet!
The pull-out faucet must choose nylon draw-out pipe, which is wear-resistant, soft, and rigid at the same time, and has a longer service life.
11. Choose a large single slot for the cabinet.
Be sure to choose a large single tank, because the pot can also be thrown into it to wash, and it will not splash your own water, and there is no way to put the pot in the double tank to wash, and it is easy to splash out.
12. Drain the front skirt.
When cooking, it is inevitable that water stains will be on the cabinet, and the front skirt drain line can be drained, and it is recommended that the front skirt drain line width is 5mm and the depth is 3mm, which can reduce a lot of trouble.
13. The installation height of the range hood.
When customizing cabinets, you must reserve the height of the range hood, because the height of the range hood installation can determine the practicality of stir-frying.
It is recommended that the height of the top suction range hood is 60-75cm, and the height of the side suction range hood is 35-45cm.
14. Cabinet installation.
There are many places that need to be punched in the process of cabinet installation, and it is recommended to use a plastic plug to close the hole after punching, so as to avoid the emission of formaldehyde, and it is more beautiful.
15. High and low platform design.
Slotted cabinets: the washing area and the food preparation area are used as high tables, while the stove is sunk separately as low tables.
L-shaped cabinet: With the corner as the dividing line, there is a washing area and a preparation area on one side, and a stove on the other, dividing the preparation area and the stove on the same plane.
U-shaped cabinet: the kind is to sink the stove, raise the left and right sides, and arrange the other vegetable washing area in the middle, the stove area sinks, and the vegetable washing area and the vegetable preparation area are raised, so it is still easy to use.
16. The kitchen is laid out according to the moving line.
The order of picking up the food equipment from the refrigerator, washing the vegetable washing area, cutting the vegetables in the cutting area, stir-frying > the stove area, and serving the food in the > serving area can reduce the back and forth and make the whole cooking process smoother.
17. The back panel of the cabinet must be sealed on both sides.
Single-sided sealing: The back panel is only pasted with one side of fireproof leather, also known as a single veneer panel, and only the visible side has been treated.
Double-sided sealing: The front and back sides of the back panel are pasted with fireproof skin. That is to say, if the double veneer is sealed on one side, if the wall falls dust, it is easy to make the cabinet dirty, and it is not moisture-proof and easy to mold.
Note: If the back panel of the cabinet is double-sided, the dust falling from the wall is not easy to enter the cabinet, which is cleaner and not easy to get wet.
Third, the cabinet is easy to ignore the eight points.
1.Try not to stick to the wall of the range hood and stove, otherwise the edge of the pot will easily contradict the wall.
2.Remember to consider the protruding doorway line against the side wall of the cabinet to avoid being affected when opening and closing the door.
3.Leave enough space between the sink and the cooktop, otherwise you should run back and forth while cooking, but not too far, and the circulation design should be reasonable.
4.The accessories of the cabinet are more complicated, if you are decorating the house yourself, you must master the installation method of the accessories, and depreciate your own characteristics.
5.The corners of the cabinet must pay attention to the combination, and there must be a reasonable area range, otherwise it will cause fracture under the influence of the force.
6.The reserved position of the socket in the kitchen must be far away from the sink, and the number of sockets is designed according to the number of appliances in the kitchen, in addition, 2-3 more are reserved.
7.It is best not to lower than 400mm for the water supply pipe, and not more than 100mm for the sewage pipe, or not less than 200mm.
8.The standard size of the cabinet, wall cabinet height 700mm, depth 300mm. The lower cabinet is 800mm high and 55mm deep, and the countertop is not static. According to the height of the owner, the design of the high and low platforms should be reasonable.
