There are many kinds of materials for kitchen shelves, but no matter what kind of materials, they all follow a principle, that is, light weight and strong bearing capacity. Common kitchen shelves in the market are made of space aluminium, stainless steel, chrome-plated copper, carbon steel and wood. Mainly fixed on the wall in a vertical or hanging way.
1, space aluminium
Space aluminium rack is very popular with users. It has the advantages of portability, no rust, no watermark and low price. Brand space aluminium products have beautiful appearance, glossy surface, excellent workmanship and high hardness. There are many inferior hangers called "space aluminium", which are essentially ordinary aluminum products. The appearance is clumsy, the production is inferior, the hardness is not high, and it will be deformed when it is gently broken. The wire drawing lamp space aluminium has exquisite wire drawing and pleasant light, leaving no water stains, fingerprints and rust.
Note: space aluminium rack should not be cheap. If they are slightly higher than a few yuan or dozens of yuan, you can buy brushed and bright aluminum products.
2. Stainless steel and carbon steel
Stainless steel and carbon steel kitchen shelves and wall shelves are mainly welded, and shelves of various shapes can be made according to requirements. The mode of production is relatively simple, but the quality depends on the personal skills of the production workers. But the shelf made of this material is easy to be oxidized by water vapor, so it needs to be preserved. Among them, I want to remind everyone that. Stainless steel hangers are made of SUS304 stainless steel varieties and frosted products.
3. Wooden hangers
Wooden shelves are generally processed solid wood plates, and only solid wood plates can have sufficient bearing capacity. The manufacturing method is relatively simple, and the solid wood shelf is environmentally friendly and very beautiful.
4. Chromium plating on copper
The materials and chrome plating process of big brands are quite good, and the appearance is beautiful, but the price is also relatively expensive. When buying ordinary copper chrome-plated products, be sure to ask whether the foot column and base are all copper. It would be better if you could find out how many layers of chrome-plated products there are. The chromium plating layers of big brands are generally more than 6 layers, and inferior products are also plated with two or three layers. 6-8 layers of chrome plating, clear silver surface, not easy to rust and peel off. Two or three layers of chrome-plated products will be dull in appearance in less than a year or two, with water marks difficult to wipe, oxidation spots such as pits and surface holes peeling off. Therefore, if you buy a copper chrome-plated shelf, you must buy all copper, and the chrome-plated layer on the surface must pass.
Second, the kitchen pendant installation principle
1, rationality
A person who can live will make rational use of space. Modern houses are more expensive, the area of each 1 is limited, and the kitchen area is not very wide. Except for the location of some large household appliances, the space for placing other items is relatively limited.
When installing kitchen pendants, you should know how to make rational use of space, and try to install kitchen pendants in kitchen walls, the back of kitchen doors and other places that do not occupy a position.
Step 2: Shelves
Kitchen pendants should be installed not only in a reasonable position, but also on a reasonable shelf, which requires a reasonable and scientific division. According to the role of pendants, shelves for placing seasonings, such as knife racks and vegetable drain racks, should be installed in reasonable positions according to different categories.
3. Adaptability
We choose the kitchen pendant for installation, mainly for convenience. When installing, we should proceed from the principle of convenience and practicality, and choose the best location for the installation of kitchen pendants.
It is necessary to follow the usage habits of housewives, which is an efficient and humanized installation. The pendant used to hang the spatula should be installed close to the cooking position and easy to take when cooking.
Three, the kitchen pendant installation matters needing attention
1, handle
Put small details into the plan from the beginning to create a harmonious kitchen. Don't choose a handle that is too long relative to the cabinet door, otherwise the cabinet door may bump into other cabinets or handles when it is opened.
2, countertops and wall cabinets
The minimum distance between the operating table and the bottom edge or decorative strip of the closet is 50 cm.
3, external pendants
The storage pendants outside the cupboard are also prepared one by one, such as wall-hanging clothes hangers, knife holders, wine glass holders, magnetic knife holders, storage baskets, hooks and clothes hangers, which are not only neat and clean, but also make room.
4. Console
The first operating table should have a space of 60- 120 cm, and the best area for preparing food is the operating table between the stove and the sink. It is advocated that there should be at least 60 cm space between the stove and the sink.
Fourth, the installation method (taking space aluminium pendant as an example)
1, first set the position according to your own needs, and then use an electrician to punch holes and nail barrels on the wall.
2. Fix the hanging belt with screws and fix the whole hanging belt.
3. Fasten the space aluminium kitchen pendant from top to bottom.
4. Try it by hand to ensure that the pendant is firmly fixed.
