4 Kind Of Problems To Avoid When Installing Cabinets

In the process of kitchen decoration, the installation of cabinets is very important, because there are various problems in the installation of cabinets. So, what problems should we pay attention to when installing cabinets? 

Kitchen cabinets include several major parts, generally installed in the order of base cabinets-hardware-countertops-wall cabinets-cooking utensils and electrical appliances.

The installation of base cabinets is divided into three steps: measuring dimensions, finding out reference points and connecting base cabinets

1. Before installing the base cabinet, workers should clean the kitchen floor to accurately measure the floor level.

2. After measuring the ground and wall with a level ruler, the installer can understand the ground level and finally adjust the level of the kitchen cabinet.

3. If the base cabinet is L-shaped or U-shaped, it is necessary to find out the reference point first. The L-shaped base cabinet extends from the right angle to both sides, and if it is installed from both sides to the middle, there may be gaps. For the U-shaped base cabinet, the straight cabinet in the middle is stacked neatly first, and then stacked from two right angles to both sides. After stacking the base cabinets, it is necessary to level the base cabinets, and adjust the levelness of the base cabinets through the adjusting legs of the base cabinets.

Basins, faucets and baskets are also the highlights of cabinets. When installing the hanging cabinet and table top, in order to prevent sawdust from falling into the basket track, cover the basket with a cover so as not to affect its future use.

1. When installing cabinets, the diameter of water outlet holes should be at least 3-4 mm larger than that of pipes, and the opening parts should be sealed with sealing strips after punching.

2. In order to prevent water seepage in basin or sewer, the connection between hose and basin should be sealed with sealing strip or glass glue, and the hose and sewer should also be sealed with glass glue.

One important thing is finding a horizontal line, the other is cabinet connection.

2. After the installation of the wall cabinet, the level of the hanging cabinet must be attention, which directly affects the aesthetics of the kitchen cabinet.

Pay attention to the gluing time required in different seasons when installing countertops of kitchen cabinets.

1. At present, most of artificial stone or natural stone countertops are used. Stone countertops are made by bonding several stones. Bonding time, glue consumption and polishing degree will affect the beauty of countertops.

2. Generally, it takes half an hour to bond the table top in summer and one hour to one and a half hours in winter. Professional glue should be used for bonding. The installer should use a grinder for grinding and polishing.

Pay attention to the layout of power holes, the size of cooking stoves and the safety of air outlets when installing cooking appliances.

1. For the installation of embedded electrical appliances in kitchen cabinets, it is only necessary to open the power hole on site, but the power hole should not be opened too small, so as to avoid inconvenient disassembly during maintenance in the future.

2. The distance between the range hood and the stove is generally 750-800 mm. If the installation height is too high, the smoking effect will be affected.

3. When installing the range hood, it should be aligned with the cooker left and right, and the height can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
