The peak season for decoration is coming, and the decoration of every house and every household cannot avoid the link of cabinets.
The quality of the cabinets directly affects the use of the kitchen. Problems such as cabinet door deformation, panel protrusions, and hardware failures continue to plague consumers. Is it the quality of the product? Or is it the year of use, these are hard to avoid dead points of the cabinet? In fact, unqualified installations have largely caused these problems.
In order to visit the cabinet installation on the spot and help consumers understand the importance of cabinet installation, we came to the home of consumer Ms. Chen. The decoration of Ms. Chen's house is nearing completion. The kitchen is customized with a set of whole cabinets with kitchen appliances. It includes two sets of hanging cabinets, a set of floor cabinets, a cooker hood, a set of stoves and a water basin. The cabinet is about 3 linear meters. Ms. Chen introduced that the set of cabinets cost about 20,000 yuan in total. The installation workers entered the site around 9:30 am, including the installation of the countertops, and completed all the installation and cleaning work at approximately 3:30 pm.
â— Tip one â—
The hidden parts are difficult to "inspect" after installation, the three major load-bearing links are the most likely to be cut corners
The unqualified installation "HOLD" can't hold the service life of the cabinet in theory for ten years or more, some of the hidden work in the details is the culprit that causes the service life of the cabinet to decrease sharply. "Deformation" is the most common big problem in the use of cabinets, which affects the various uses of cabinets. The better support and load-bearing system protects the cabinet body to the greatest extent, so that it will not be deformed during long-term use. Although these supports are purely "extra" compared to conventional supports, they are essential.
Back panel stretch bar: In order to prevent the deformation of the cabinet body, there is a stretch bar in the center of the back panel behind the cabinet as additional support. The backboard is the thinnest part of the cabinet body, and its load bearing and stretching ability are relatively weak, but once a problem occurs, it will affect the entire cabinet, causing deformation of various parts. The material of the stretch bar is the same as the material of the cabinet body. For the cabinet of Ms. Chen's house, the material of the stretch bar is solid wood composite board. The installation part of the stretch bar is relatively concealed, unless the attention is paid in the assembly process, otherwise the owner will hardly see its "real body". The cabinet with the extension bar greatly reduces the deformation of the cabinet body, especially the problems such as the depression of the bottom plate and the deformation of the cabinet door.
Countertop bearing: It is not uncommon for cabinet countertops to be spliced. More people are focusing their attention on the seamless and polished parts of countertops. In fact, it is not important to make the table top look like a whole. How to protect this seam from cracking and misalignment in the future is the key. You cannot rely solely on the power of glue, additional support is very important.
The joint of the cabinet panel of Ms. Chen's house is above the drawer cabinet, and there is no extra support directly below. So after the process of butting and pasting the panel, the worker cut two pieces of stone the size of the palm again, and pasted from the lower part to the two ends of the joint. This detail is mainly to ensure the load-bearing at the seam, and play a role in assisting bonding, preventing deformation, and bearing. Ensure that the tabletop will not bulge and deform in the future, affecting the service life.
Water tank load-bearing: The length of the water tank is slightly longer than that of other bottom cabinets. Therefore, under the water cabinet, the worker added a load-bearing cabinet leg to make the water cabinet into a "five-legged cabinet" to ensure that the bottom plate will not be excessive Deformed under load.
In addition, a small accident at the beginning of the installation also showed another function of the cabinet legs: adjustable height. Since the original use of the kitchen of Ms. Chen's house was a balcony, an air-conditioning drain line passed through the entire kitchen, but the height did not "wire" according to the drawings given by the cabinet designer. Therefore, after the workers measured and communicated with Ms. Chen, Temporarily decided to increase the height of the 3 cm cabinet to avoid the pipeline. In addition, the height of the cabinet itself is fixed. Some housewives consider that their height should be proportional to the countertop, and the height of the cabinet should be different from person to person. It can also be solved by adjusting the height of the cabinet legs.
â— Tip 2:
The accuracy of the drawer installation affects the use of hinges, which will cause the door to loosen
The hardest part of cabinet installation is the assembly and installation of drawers and baskets. People who use cabinets have such feelings: if the drawers and cabinet doors are not easy to use, they will feel that the cabinets are not easy to use and raise their hands like "stumbled". We are used to thinking that hardware is the only key that affects the flexibility of the cabinet joints. In fact, the installation of the cabinet itself also plays an important role.
On the one hand, when the drawer is assembled, it must be tightly closed. Small deviations may cause the drawer to slide against the cabinet during sliding, which affects the use. On the other hand, since the drawer and the panel are installed separately, the normal link should be to assemble and install the drawer first, confirm that there is no problem with the fitting of the hardware, and install the outer panel after sliding normally. The panel and cabinet door must be tightly jointed on the surface, but they cannot be squeezed against each other, which requires workers to install and debug them very accurately.
The commissioning of cabinet doors and drawers is very time-consuming. There are some organs reserved inside the cabinet and the hardware itself, which can be fine-tuned moderately, for example, the height of the screws can be adjusted through the tightening of some parts.
Common cabinets have been used for one year. The cabinet door began to have high and low deviations, loose baskets, drawer slide rails become astringent and other problems, which are caused by the gradual loosening of hinges, hinges and other parts in use. Self-adjustment can solve these problems. The astringency of the slide rail may be caused by rice grains, salt grains, etc. entering the slide rail, and the slide rail needs to be cleaned regularly during use.
â— Tip 3:
On-site glue application may bring pollution and cutting dust is almost inevitable
The installation sequence of cabinets should start with the wall cabinets, and the workers explain that the installation sequence is to ensure hygiene. Dust will be generated due to perforation during the installation of the hanging cabinet, so the cleaning of the hanging cabinet will be cleaned after installation. A clean environment is very important for the subsequent glue work. Dust will affect the adhesive ability of the glue, causing accidental cracking of the joints and affecting the service life of the cabinet.
During the installation process, the dust and smell-prone links include on-site slotting, perforation, and adhesion of countertops and cabinets. When the countertop and the cabinet are glued together, the glue will emit a great taste, but as the glue solidifies, the taste will quickly evaporate. If the cabinet continues to smell, it is mainly from the plate of the cabinet itself, and consumers should conduct timely inspection and identification.
In order to ensure the environmental protection performance of the cabinets, the brand cabinets will perform six-sided edge treatment on the panels. Some temporary cutting on site will destroy the edge sealing of the surface of the plate, and the workers will also apply aluminum foil to the bare edges after cutting.
Due to the uncertainty of the on-site situation, on-site cutting is inevitable. When cutting, dust and sawdust will be generated, as well as a lot of noise and even odor. The worker master said that, for example, the location of the gas pipeline and the location of the water pipeline, etc. In the early stage, the cabinet designer will measure and have a position requirement, but when it comes to the installation process, it also depends on the site environment. For errors and unexpected pipelines, The interface is adjusted, for example, the reserved port of the gas pipeline is likely to be cut on site, so absolute noise-free and dust-free installation is still not possible.
â— Suggestion â—
The raised surface can be corrected
It's not that after the countertop is raised or the cabinet door is deformed, the entire cabinet can only be discarded. Technicians tell us that due to the different materials of the countertops, the expansion coefficients are different, and the convexity generally occurs on more artificial stone countertops. For example, artificial quartz stone countertops are less prone to bulging because of their small expansion coefficient. If the table top is raised due to improper installation, the table top can be flattened by correction. Physical methods such as weights can play this role. But it needs to be completed by the identification and guidance of professional and technical personnel. Similarly, if the cabinet door is deformed, the professional can also correct it to restore its original appearance, but the effect will not be as good as before.
Move the cabinet
Although there is a fixed treatment, you can still remove the cabinet when you move. For example, you do n’t want to replace the cabinets during the decoration, but the operation of the cabinets, such as tiling, is a hindrance. You can remove the cabinets and reinstall them later. Technically speaking, this is feasible, but it also requires the quality of the plates and countertops of the cabinet itself to be good, and the situation is good in all aspects. It can not be scattered after being moved, or disassembled because of its own expansion, deformation, etc Cannot install again.

Cabinet installation should attract more attention
The cabinet pays attention to the "three-point product and seven-point installation". On the one hand, the quality must be guaranteed by qualified products; on the other hand, the rigorous and leak-proof installation better protects the service life of the cabinet. Some common problems in use do not come from defects in product quality, but are caused by cut corners in installation.
Because the cabinets are often installed for a long time and are completed during the renovation, the owner rarely can focus on the installation. On the one hand, some important links are little known, on the other hand, they are mostly hidden under the cabinet, inside, and back. After the cabinet is fixed, it is difficult to check or impossible to check. This also resulted in blatant installation of some cabinets and cutting corners, but it was impossible to verify.
