In modern home life, the kitchen is the place that can best reflect the quality of life. Now more and more home decorations like to look for customization, because “tailor-made” furniture can better meet the individual needs, and adapt to local conditions. Every inch of space is fully utilized, all of which are favored by the public. However, not every custom kitchen cabinets will be satisfactory, because many people encounter unreliable custom companies or because of their “carelessness”, they step on the “pit” in the custom kitchen cabinet.
01
Unreasonable kitchen cabinet planning, buy kitchen cabinets after decoration
Many people have the misunderstanding that it is not too late to buy kitchen cabinets after the kitchen is renovated. The result is that it is a few months after the kitchen cabinet is completely installed. .
Therefore, before the decoration, please ask the professional kitchen cabinet manufacturer to measure the size, determine the style of the kitchen cabinet, reserve the pipeline interface at the installation place of the kitchen cabinet, and also need to accurately expose the pipeline during decoration, so that the installation of the kitchen cabinet is very important.
The proportion of kitchen cabinet design is unreasonable
According to the ergonomic design, the general kitchen cabinet occupies no more than 1/2 of the kitchen floor space. Once the kitchen space is exceeded, it will become crowded.
In addition, the ratio of the hanging cabinet to the base cabinet is the best ratio of no more than 1:1:3, and the distance between the hanging cabinet and the base cabinet is reasonable at about 650mm-700mm.
02
Too much emphasis on appearance
Young consumers will attach great importance to the appearance design in the choice of kitchen cabinets, but ignore its most practical function – storage, and even after the kitchen cabinets are installed, many items are placed unreasonably, and all kinds of sundries are stacked in the kitchen. become a foil.
Small appliances, all kinds of pots and pans, tableware, seasonings, etc. are all essential items in the kitchen. With so many scattered items, what is most needed is a kitchen cabinet with powerful storage functions. Therefore, the storage function and appearance of kitchen cabinets need to be considered at the same time.
03
The importance of hardware
Kitchen cabinets are furniture that requires frequent switching, so the requirements for hardware are extremely high. In order to save money, you must choose cheap and inferior hardware instead. A good hinge can have a high bearing capacity, even if it opens and closes hundreds of thousands, there will be no problem, nor will the cabinet door fall off as mentioned above.
04
Choice of plates
First of all, you must confirm the material, processing technology, and environmental protection level of the board you choose.
Regarding the choice of the board, we need to pay attention to whether the style of the board is suitable for our home, and secondly, whether the material of the board is stable, whether it is wear-resistant and moisture-proof, how is the anti-fouling ability, whether it is easy to clean, whether the price of the board is suitable, and whether the cost performance ratio is suitable, etc.
In addition, the recognized and reasonable thickness of the board on the market is 18mm, 16mm, but the cost of the 18mm board is almost 10% higher than that of the 16mm board ointment, the thickness increases, and the service life is naturally longer.
05
Plate quality
Plate formaldehyde exceeds the standard, especially the formaldehyde of the kitchen cabinet plate exceeds the standard, which is harmful to health. The quality of the kitchen cabinet is largely determined by the quality of the board. You get what you pay for. Don’t blindly pursue benefits when selecting materials. Compared with other spaces, the kitchen is more prone to moisture, especially in the rainy season, so consider the moisture-proof performance when purchasing boards.
06
Whether the cabinet is installed independently
Directly use self-tapping nails to assemble them at one time, so that the “completely assembled” cabinet will seriously affect the stability and firmness of the kitchen cabinet. In addition, using self-tapping screws to splicing the assembled cabinet will reduce the overall cost by 5%. After the stability and firmness are deteriorated, the service life will also decrease. Therefore, it is very important whether the cabinet is installed independently.
07
Whether the kitchen cabinet has been double-sealed
The back panel of the kitchen cabinet is usually a double-cover design, but in order to save costs, some custom companies cut corners and only make a single cover for the back panel of the kitchen cabinet. Many owners only focus on the surface and ignore the internal structure.
What’s wrong with a single-sided back cover? It is easy to get wet and moldy, and it is easier to release formaldehyde.
Therefore, after the kitchen cabinet is customized, everyone remember to open the cabinet to check the structure of the cabinet. Don’t think that the surface looks OK and there are no other problems.
08
Whether the kitchen cabinet is sealed with cockroaches
There are cabinets with anti-cockroach and silent edge sealing, which can be said to be naturally different from those without. There are kitchen cabinets with edge sealing, which can not only eliminate noise, reduce the impact of cabinet doors, but also prevent cockroaches and small insects from entering.
09
Countertop Stone Selection
There are generally four types of countertops: solid wood, marble, stainless steel and artificial quartz stone. In terms of practicality and universality, artificial quartz stone ranks first.
Solid wood is beautiful but not practical. First, the wood is easy to crack under high temperature, and it is difficult to clean up the dirt; second, the solid wood is not moisture-proof, and it has to be wiped off immediately when it is splashed with water, which is too labor-intensive.
Stainless steel, sturdy but too easy to scratch, it is true that it is sturdy and durable, it is easy to scratch, deformed by heat, and the noise of cutting a bone is also a great disadvantage.
Artificial quartz stone, the table itself has high hardness, is not afraid of scratches, and is also resistant to acid and alkali oil stains. It has indeed achieved a balance in performance, appearance and price.
