16 Tips for installation kitchen

1.The first step, the preparation stage

Don’t think that everything will be fine after we choose the cabinet style. The most important work is still behind-on-site installation. Cabinets are highly customized products, and errors not only affect the beauty but also affect the lifespan. So this article will not talk about other things but only about installation.

1. Before installing the cabinets, the wall tiles and floor tiles of the kitchen have been pasted. In order to prevent damage to the walls and floors, site protection is required. The cabinets are made of wood, which will damage the ground slightly, so they can be protected by colored strips.
2. Generally, the kitchen space is relatively small, and operation in the kitchen will cause bumps. Therefore, a slightly larger space can be set aside in advance in the living room for easy operation.
3. A lot of materials will be piled up in the room at the same time during installation, it is very easy to mess things up. The general cabinet installation time varies from 1 to 3 days. Sometimes the cabinet materials and countertops even require some modeling components, which cannot be completed in one day. Therefore, it is recommended to set aside a special area to classify these materials. If they are lost, it will take longer to match.
4. Range hoods, stoves, vegetable washing basins, etc., it is best to arrive in advance and install them simultaneously with the cabinets. Even if it is too late to press again, you need to get the size in advance. When installing cabinets in this way, the reserved holes and the reserved positions should be calculated.
5. If microwave ovens, ovens, refrigerators and other electrical appliances need to be embedded in the cabinet, the switch position and current size must be designed in advance according to the size.
6. The components of the cabinet, such as cabinet panels, panels, Roman columns, etc., are generally protected by paper shells when they leave the factory. After delivery to the site, if conditions permit, remember to open the box to check whether there is any damage and the size is correct. It is better to discover before installation than to discover the problem after installation. Everything is the most perfect one to install and survive. Dismantling and repairing may be loose, which is the same as the mobile phone.

2. Second step : Installation

The installation sequence is generally: floor cabinet cabinet-wall cabinet cabinet-countertop-door panel-decorative components-partitions-hardware handles. For this kind of on-site assembled products, the craftsmanship of the installer is very important. Whether each board can be aligned or not accurately punched requires extreme care and attention. It is said in the industry that the cabinet installation is good or bad, the cabinet itself accounts for half, and the installation accounts for half. Therefore, the installation workers must be meticulous in their work.

7. The installation height of the cabinet wall cabinet should be adjusted according to the site. The height of some kitchens is relatively high, and the proportions on the drawings are okay, but it may not be appropriate to go to the site, and it needs to be determined on site.
8. The back panel of the installed cabinet should be kept at a distance of 2-3cm from the wall. Because the cabinet will be deformed over time, there must be a certain amount of space for deformation.
9. Waterproof treatment is required under the sink to avoid deformation of the plate when it is soaked in water.
10. The bottom lamp of the wall cabinet should be installed at the same time as the wall cabinet is installed. Whether you want to use the dark wire or the open wire, the master will solve it with his hands.
11. All openings must be sealed, which is not only beautiful, but also prevents the cabinet from emitting formaldehyde.
12. After the door panel is installed, be sure to check whether the door seam is neat and whether the opening and closing is smooth. A neat door seam is an important criterion for the installation of cabinets. The general installation master will bring an infrared calibrator.
13. Some details must be ordered on the spot. For example, whether the handle is installed horizontally or vertically, whether it is installed on the panel or on the side, is generally not reflected in these drawings, and can only be confirmed on the spot, because once installed, nail holes are left and cannot be changed.

3. Third step : Installation completed

14. This work is a finishing touch. Generally, cabinets will be installed very late. Workers are anxious to leave, and it is easy to ignore and fool them. Gluing is similar to the borders in a painting. The quality of the hooks directly affects the effect of the picture. Therefore, you must find a glue master to hook a beautiful and straight white border.
15. Inspection work ① Whether the door panel is neat and straight, whether there is a front convex and back warped; ②Is the seamless processing of the countertop really invisible to the seams? ③ Open and close the hardware several times to see if it is slippery and smooth; ④ Whether the handle is loose; ⑤ No leakage of the base layer can be seen from all the boards, especially the boards with holes or cuts. The installation process is all manual, it is inevitable that there will be damage, don’t worry, there is a beautician, basically you can’t see the damage.
16. Cabinets are basically man-made panels, even the best EGGER panels will inevitably release a certain amount of formaldehyde. After installation, remember to open the door to ventilate the smell.

Finally, you can happily enjoy the fun of cooking.
