What should I pay attention to when customizing cabinets? What are the strategies for saving money and avoiding pits in cabinets?

In the decoration, the kitchen cabinet is definitely the highlight. Good cabinets are not only practical and easy to use, but also a plus item for the whole house decoration quality; On the other hand, if there is something wrong with the cabinet decoration, you may scold your mother every time you enter the kitchen!

This time, I want to sort out my experience of successfully landing cabinets and share all my related homework with you, and talk about what cabinets should do to ensure quality and save money!

First, what does a good cabinet look like? 1. There are thousands of cabinets with reasonable design and difficult use, but good cabinets must have one thing in common: reasonable design and scientific design. So when designing, we must consider the maturity. No matter whether your kitchen is in a straight line layout, L-shaped layout or U-shaped layout, you should follow the basic principle of "taking → washing → cutting → frying", otherwise the kitchen will be too busy when you use it in the future!

2. Size standard humanization As long as the family members are all ordinary sizes, customized cabinets must follow some standard sizes. For example, the depth of the countertop should be at least 60 cm and the width of the range hood should be 90 cm. Do you want to keep it or keep it according to this size? Just below it is a standard cabinet, and the dishes and baskets inside are also directly matched with the standard size. The embedded appliances in the cupboard are all 60 cm wide, just put them according to the standard size.

Second, what materials are used for durable cabinets? 1. Cabinet board: 18 mm thick multilayer board. I believe everyone has seen many raiders. Everyone says that it is good to use multi-layer solid boards for cabinets, but don't think that multi-layer boards are good, but also pay attention to the thickness, otherwise the cabinets will be deformed!

Suggestion: Choose 18 mm thick multilayer board, which is not only water-proof, but also load-bearing, and will not bend no matter how many plates are placed. Of course, the back panel of the cabinet is also very important. In order to ensure the stability of the cabinet, the thickness should be greater than 9 mm.

2. Cabinet door material: In the selection of cabinet doors for plane double-sided door panels, friends often step on pits. Remember never to use glass doors and membrane to press door panels. Glass door panels are not resistant to dirt and will be difficult to take care of after oiling; In less than two years, the laminated door panel is prone to be affected with damp and bulging, showing a concave-convex shape. It's tiring to rub back and forth every day.

Suggestion: the cabinet door should be made of plane double-sided door panels, which are simple, elegant and hygienic without handles.

3. skirting board: metal skirting board is also a place that is often overlooked when customizing cabinets. In order to attract you at a low price at first, most businesses are equipped with plastic skirting boards. The buckle is not firm, and it will break after several times.

Suggestion: Choose the skirting board of metal profile, which is durable, waterproof and moisture-proof to prevent the breeding of flying insects and cockroaches.

3. What are the humanized cabinets? 1. basin: don't choose a double-trough basin that has been vomited by everyone. Both pots are small, and the bigger one can't fit in.

Suggestion: choose a large single-trough basin, which is convenient for washing vegetables, pots and dishes; In addition, the material of the basin must be SUS304 stainless steel; The installation method must be made into a basin under the platform and reinforced with metal buckles. The water and stains on the countertop can be easily cleaned up in the basin, and there will be no trouble of hiding evil and accommodating evil.

2. Waterproof strip: Do not decorate the traditional split right-angle waterproof strip into an arc. This process is made of glass glue, and it will certainly start to be moldy and black in the oily place like the kitchen within half a year, and it is particularly difficult to clean.

Suggestion: Choose the curved waterstop, which is several hundred dollars more expensive than the right-angled one, but it is really comfortable to use in the future.

3. Faucets: Don't think that buying faucets of big brands won't cause problems. You know the traditional hot and cold taps are out of date!

Suggestion: it is really convenient to choose a faucet with pull-out function, especially when cleaning the basin, which can ensure that there is no sanitary corner and save water.

4. Hanging cabinets: installing induction fill light Most hanging cabinets will face a Bug after installation: when cutting vegetables, the light is blocked by themselves. ...

Suggestion: install a light belt at the lower mouth of the hanging cabinet for supplementary lighting, and control it by hand-sweeping induction switch, so that it is convenient to turn on the light even if there is water and oil on your hand.

Fourth, how to deposit the till? 1. countertop stone: the quality of the countertop stone of quartz stone cabinet with high cost performance is too important, which directly determines the service life of the cabinet. At present, the most commonly used table stones in the market are mainly quartz stones and rock slabs. As for acrylic, don't choose it again, it's easy to penetrate, and soon the table will be white and yellow.

Quartz stone can be divided into domestic and imported, so you can boldly choose domestic quartz stone with a thickness of 2.0, and the hardness and wear resistance are all leveraged! Imported quartz stone will have more colors, but your price will almost double!

As for the rock slab, the face value is really good, but the cost performance is too low. Of course, local tyrants are free.

2. Basket pulling: Only the basic basket is installed. Don't underestimate the seemingly simple hardware of pulling a basket. Maybe it can increase the overall cabinet budget 15%! That is to say, 10000 yuan of cabinets plus two dishes and a seasoning basket will increase 1000~ 1500 yuan! If you add corner baskets, hanging cabinets and high cabinets, it will probably increase by 10000 yuan! But you know what? These things are really beautiful but useless, and the accessories of the basket are easy to break. For example, hanging cabinets can't pull ordinary girls, especially when there are old people at home!

If you like to put all kinds of items in the kitchen in categories, it is suggested that you choose all kinds of storage accessories you want on a treasure in the early stage, and reserve the corresponding sizes when customizing the cabinet design in the later stage. A few hundred dollars can save a few W.

3. Hardware Accessories: Let the merchants give it away, but don't be stupid enough to pay for it yourself. One way is to ask the merchants to give gifts and negotiate the price with the boss. Finally, you just need to add the following sentence: "Boss, send me the hardware pendant on the wall!" " If you send it, I can place an order and pay the deposit now. "Generally speaking, most businesses will give people away. Although these hardware fittings don't have much money, we just want to save a little here and there when decorating, which can save thousands of dollars in operation.
