First of all, the materials of cabinets
The common materials of cabinets are solid wood, multilayer solid wood, particleboard, density board, stainless steel, all-aluminum and so on.
Generally speaking, solid wood cabinets are not recommended. Although the material is environmentally friendly, the stability of wood is not strong, and it is easy to cause problems such as wood cracking and mildew when used in the kitchen. High-density boards are also not recommended. Although it is cheap, its environmental protection performance is really poor. Granular board is not very waterproof, so it can be used as wardrobe but not suitable for cabinet. Multi-layer solid wood will be more suitable for most people to make cabinet materials with stronger stability.
If you don't care about the face value, the stainless steel cabinet is also very good, especially convenient to take care of.
Now there is an all-aluminum cabinet, made of aluminum alloy, but the appearance can show different wood grain colors because of vacuum stretching technology, which looks like solid wood. The advantages are that aluminum alloy is moisture-proof, waterproof and moth-proof, which can be used for decades and can be recycled. However, it is worth mentioning that metal cabinets are often more expensive.
Second, the cupboard door material
There are many kinds of cupboard door materials, such as: double decorative board, acrylic, baking paint, blister, crystal steel plate, solid wood, multi-layer solid wood, particleboard, etc ... each has its own advantages and disadvantages, mainly depending on its own needs.
Remind everyone that it is more practical to choose a bright door panel for cupboard doors than to stick a skin-sensitive film. The texture of the skin-sensitive film is really pleasing, and it looks very high-grade after being installed, but touching a fingerprint is really not resistant to dirt.
In addition, flat doors are much more practical than modeling doors. Dirty is finished, there are not so many places to hide the wicked.
Third, the cabinet countertop
Common cabinets are stainless steel and quartz stone, and in recent years, there are also relatively hot slate countertops. Stainless steel countertops are generally matched with stainless steel cabinets. Although it's clean, it's not very nice.
Quartz stone countertops are common, but don't buy cheap ones. Be sure to choose products with quartz stone composition above 93%. There are a lot of fake quartz stone countertops that are shoddy with granite in the market, and there will be problems such as color bleeding when they are used.
Rock slab is waterproof, fireproof and high temperature resistant, and its face value is better than quartz stone, which is suitable for families with high budget. The whole rock slab is also divided into good and bad. Buying inferior rock slabs is fragile, chopping meat is a bit scary, and it may collapse in daily use.
Fourth, hardware accessories
Whether it is the basic hardware or functional hardware accessories of cabinets, you must not choose products that are too cheap. Hardware fittings, such as inferior hinges and slide rails, may be scrapped after less than 1 year, resulting in problems such as cabinet doors falling off or drawers not being pulled out. Good hardware fittings are the key to ensure the normal function of furniture, which can make the service life of cabinets longer.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) mobile line planning
Many people neglect the route planning when customizing cabinets, so cooking a meal is like a headless fly wandering around the kitchen, looking for things repeatedly and taking things, which is really tiring.
Don't neglect to plan the moving line according to the spatial layout of the kitchen, that is, a series of routes such as taking vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking and loading vegetables are coherent and don't walk around repeatedly, so that cooking efficiency is higher and cooking is more convenient.
Six, the size of the cabinet
Customized cabinets must be selected according to the height of people who often cook, otherwise the uniform height will make people who are too high or too short feel uncomfortable.
Nowadays, many people will do high and low tables to improve their comfort. After determining the overall height of the center console, the height of the sink area increased by about 8- 10cm. This way, it is very practical to wash vegetables and dishes without bending down to cook with your arms.
