Pay attention to these 5 questions when design kitchen cabinets and spend less money!
1. Sheet material
The material and thickness of the board will directly affect the service life of the cabinet. There are currently three common types of boards on the market: solid wood boards, particle boards, and multi-layer solid wood boards.
Solid wood panels are the best in terms of environmental protection performance, moisture resistance and wear resistance are general, daily use requires maintenance, and the price is relatively expensive, because the kitchen is relatively humid, if you use solid wood panels, the cabinets are easily damaged, so it is not recommended. Use solid wood panels to customize cabinets.
Multi-layer solid wood board is the most cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and has good waterproofness. The price is not particularly expensive. It is a more popular cabinet board. Note that the thickness of the plate must be 18mm, otherwise it will be too thin and not durable.
2. Countertop material
The choice of countertop material is also very important, it will directly affect the future experience, so don’t ignore it! The more common materials on the market now include: marble, quartz stone, stainless steel, slate and so on.
Although there are many kinds of materials for cabinet countertops, the king of cost performance is quartz stone. First of all, the hardness of quartz stone is very high and it is difficult to be scratched. In the kitchen, we must use a knife. Stone can withstand high temperature. This kind of stone has a very high melting point and is difficult to be corroded by high temperature. Quartz stone is also very resistant to pollution. The oil, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. used in the kitchen are difficult to penetrate into the quartz stone, and it is easy to clean and easy to clean.
3. Cabinet edge banding
The back side of the design kitchen cabinets is best to be double-sealed. If it is only a single edge, it is easy to make the cabinet damp and moldy, which will affect the service life of the cabinet. And whether the cabinet door uses silent sealing, don’t underestimate the silent sealing, it can not only relieve the impact of closing the cabinet door, but also reduce noise and prevent mosquitoes such as cockroaches.
4. Cabinet hardware
It is recommended that you understand what brand of hardware the merchant uses before customizing the cabinet. If the quality is poor, buy a little brand of hardware and ask their master to install it.
5. Cabinet size
It is recommended that you communicate with the merchant about the size, because the size of the cabinet is best customized according to your own height, which will be more suitable for your usage habits. If the height is not more than 165cm, the height of the cabinet should be about 80cm. If the height is relatively high, the height of the base cabinet will increase accordingly.
