With the development of society, small-sized houses have become the choice of more young people, and the custom home furnishing industry has also continued to rise. So do you know the strategy of cabinet customization and the precautions for cabinet customization? Let's take a look at these practical custom cabinet shopping guides!
Cabinet customization strategy
One: Material issues. First of all, you have to understand what kind of material you want. The more popular cabinet materials on the market nowadays are painted, stainless steel, solid wood, marble, quartz, etc. These materials have advantages and disadvantages. Get a general idea and choose What material do you want. This material includes plates, door panels, and countertops.
Two: Choose a business. Everyone knows that when choosing a business, you must choose a reputable business. How can you choose a good business? It's best to choose a business recommended by a friend or search for a few more on the Internet for comparison. If you find it yourself, you may be in danger of high prices. If you are not satisfied, it is still unclear.
Three: Process issues. Of course, this is also the most important thing. First of all, make an appointment for the size of the merchant, and then see the design drawing within three days (generally the more formal the place, the more standardized the drawing), and the third is to sign the contract (to indicate your own requirements) Details, especially materials and costs), the cabinet can also be installed with other kitchen equipment, so that the connectivity is good and easy to use. Finally, you still need to check it out during the installation process.
Four: Problems after installation. Before installing, remember to ask for a credit card from the merchant and try it out first. Another thing is to ask if there are any irregular after-sales service, such as regular return visits, etc. This is also a more secure guarantee.
Precautions for cabinet customization
1. The thickness of the cabinet board: At present, there are 16mm, 18mm and other thickness plates on the market, and the cost of different thicknesses will vary. For this alone, the cost of 18mm thick is 7% higher than that of 16mm thick plates , The service life of cabinets made of 18 mm thick plates can be more than doubled, ensuring that the door panels are not deformed and protecting the countertop from cracking. Everyone should carefully understand the composition of the materials when looking at the samples, so as to be confident.
2. Whether the cabinet is independent: the whole set of connected cabinets will affect the fastness, so everyone should ask clearly when choosing the whole cabinet, the difference in service life and stability between the two is 2 to 3 times, and the cost difference is 5%. It can be identified by the packaging and the installed cabinet. If the independent cabinet is assembled with a single cabinet, each cabinet should have an independent packaging; it can also be observed in front of the cabinet installation table. The use of anti-cockroach-proof and silent-edge-sealed cabinets can relieve the impact when the cabinet door is closed, eliminate noise and prevent the entry of cockroaches and other insects. The cost of whether or not the anti-cockroach edge seals is 3%. Also check whether the countertop, door panel, box body, sealing strip, and anti-collision strip are processed by machine film pressing, and whether the front and back sides are pressed together. The sealing strip is not tightly closed, which will cause oily smoke, dust, and insects to enter.
3. Composition of artificial stone: Suitable materials for kitchen countertops, including fireproof board, artificial stone, natural marble, quartz stone, stainless steel, etc. Among them, quartz stone and artificial stone countertops have the best price-performance ratio. The cheap countertop calcium carbonate has a high content and is easy to crack. At present, composite acrylic and pure acrylic are more commonly used in the market. The best ratio of acrylic component in composite acrylic is generally about 20%.
4. The quality of the cabinet door hinge is also critical: its quality is related to the opening life of the cabinet door; it is also necessary to check whether the leveling device and screws of the foot are moisture-proof. The hardware accessories connecting each part of the overall kitchen directly affect the quality and service life of the cabinets. Therefore, when ordering an integrated kitchen, you should pay attention to the performance of hardware accessories. Especially for the whole kitchen of foreign brands, most of the accessories it uses are imported or customized with reference to foreign standards, so the convenience of its replacement must be considered. It is best to buy more matching hardware accessories when ordering the overall kitchen, so that they can be replaced when damaged.
5. Can a test report be provided: The cabinet is a furniture product, and the country has a clear stipulation to issue a finished product test report and clearly indicate the formaldehyde content. Some manufacturers can only provide raw material inspection reports, but the environmental protection of raw materials does not mean that the finished products are environmentally friendly. Only the qualified products can prove their products are qualified. It is necessary for you to ask the merchant when you make a purchase, or you can record the number of the quality inspection report presented by the merchant and call the quality inspection department to verify the authenticity.
6. Assembling method: generally small factories or hand-made on-site can only be connected with screws, rivets or glue. Adopting the latest third-generation box bar and tenon structure plus fixing parts and quick assembly parts, it is more effective to ensure the firmness and endurance of the box, and less glue is used, which is more environmentally friendly.
7. Carefully check the workmanship: mainly check whether the countertop, door panel, box body and sealing strip, anti-collision strip are processed by machine molding, and whether the front and back sides are pressed at once. Good products will not open the glue, foam and deform after long-term use. Insufficient sealing of the sealing strip can cause oily smoke, dust, and insects to enter.
8. Kitchen corner design: A practical overall kitchen not only requires the reasonable configuration of large parts, but also makes full use of dead corners in a limited space. Dead corners in the kitchen refer to corners in the kitchen that are like corners. In the past, traditional cabinets often left these corners vacant. However, if they are fully utilized through humanized design, the effect of making full use of resources can also be achieved. Some modern whole kitchens will use connecting racks or built-in pull-tabs so that the corners can also be loaded with items. If the kitchen space at home is not large, the corner details cannot be ignored.
9. Style and overall adaptation: Specifically, the cabinet color, material, shape, etc. should be integrated and echoed with the dining room and living room. For example, in terms of color, if the whole family is designed with warm colors, the color of the overall cabinet should also be warm. In terms of shape, if the overall style is relaxed and lively, the style of the kitchen can also be relatively flexible, with more lines and surfaces. Some changes. However, when buying an overall kitchen, it is best to go with the designer. On the one hand, the designer can grasp the overall style; on the other hand, the designer will combine the dimensions and appearance with the space of the kitchen to ensure the kitchen It is convenient and practical to use.
10. Environmental protection must be considered: the kitchen is closely related to people's lives and is related to people's health. Therefore, the environmental protection and health of the overall cabinet are very important. Some experts pointed out that because my country does not yet have strict environmental quality standards for furniture, only the testing standards for wood-based panels (particle board and MDF) are available. Therefore, I remind everyone that when choosing a whole cabinet, it is best to smell whether there is a strong irritating atmosphere. In order to save materials, many manufacturers only do partial edge banding. When purchasing, you must see if all edge banding is done; try to minimize on-site edge banding, because it is difficult to seal on site, but the factory uses high temperature and high pressure edge banding. The back is firm and tidy; it is best not to install a back panel behind the cabinet, which saves money, is environmentally friendly, and is easy to clean. The moisture-proof particle board contains green moisture-proof agent, and all the holes on the box body are equipped with covers to prevent moisture from entering and reduce the release of formaldehyde.
