How do you choose the ideal cabinetry that will enhance the aesthetics of your home, provide the functional characteristics that you are looking for, and make you excited about doing a residential remodel job? Check out these tips for choosing the right cabinetry for your home.

Panel

Panel is the foundation of cabinets, which is the first problem that most people will care about when they go to see cabinets; Nowadays, many well-known brands of plates are granular plates. Although they are granular plates, as long as they meet environmental protection standards, there is no need to worry about environmental protection issues;

If you feel that you can't accept granular boards, you can also choose other boards, and you need to pay attention to the following key points:

1. Environmental protection: The environmental protection of decoration materials is an important principle we choose. It is inevitable that glue will be added in the production process of plates. Now the glues commonly used in the market are basically formaldehyde-containing, so don't believe that the plates have zero formaldehyde.

2. Moisture resistance: everyone can know the moisture resistance of the board, especially the kitchen and bathroom where there is clear water.

3. Stability: Stability is also very important for the plate, which directly determines the service life of the plate. To judge the stability of the plate, there are two main points: nail holding force and static bending strength;

Generally speaking, the nail holding force is whether the nail is easy to be fixed in the plate and whether it is easy to loosen and fall off; The plate with good nail holding power is very strong in fixing nails, which directly affects the service life of furniture;

Static bending strength refers to the compressive strength that a plate can bear when it is bent and broken under stress, that is, "how much force will be used to break the plate". The lower the index, the easier it is to deform after being stressed, and the higher the possibility of being damaged during use.

Design

When it comes to design, it is not only about the finished product effect but also its internal details. At the same time, cabinetry in different spaces must meet different storage needs, which has different requirements for the internal design of the cabinetry.

When designing the wardrobe, we should consider the size of the hanging area and the stacking area, the quilt storage area and the seasonal clothing storage area, and also consider the length of the winter coat and the storage area of pants and underwear socks.

When designing the shoe cabinet, it is necessary to consider leaving the shoes that are replaced daily at the bottom, reserving a shoe stool for the convenience of the elderly and children, and considering the places where keys, bags and coats are placed and the dressing mirror.

The carcass should consider the height design of the table top, the height of the hanging cabinet from the table top, and the supplementary lighting of the vegetable preparation area.

The design of bookcases pays more attention to personal habits and preferences. Some people like glass doors or open bookshelves without doors, which are beautiful but not easy to take care of; Totally enclosed bookcases are easy to clean but boring.

Edge Banding

Now everyone has higher requirements for environmental protection. In addition to paying attention to the panel,  the edge banding of the cabinetry is important. If the edge banding is not handled properly, the formaldehyde inside the plate will be released slowly. Especially, once the cabinet in the kitchen and bathroom has peeling and glue opening, it is not only formaldehyde release but also easy to hide dirt and not easy to clean.

Hardware

The function of hardware is generally used to connect and fix, so its existence also directly affects the experience of customized products; Hardware is recommended to be a well-known brand product, such as Blum, which is reliable. The foundation is that it is strong and easy to use and not easy to rust.
