Furniture for non -standard cuisine
Currently, buying a ready -made set is not a problem. Hundreds of stores offer ready -made solutions to world manufacturers. However, for a specific room, finding the most optimal option is not too simple. The task is complicated if gas devices are installed in the room, for example, a water heater boiler. It is simply impossible to move them, violating the requirements of their installation. Therefore, boxes and cabinets will have to be selected taking into account the placement of devices. Also, the placement of a standard kitchen set may prevent the location of communications: gas and water pipes, sewage wiring, etc.
One of the exits from this situation is to order furniture on order. In this case, experts will be able to make several sketches of the kitchen set depending on the size and configuration of the room. Thanks to various computer programs, the result of designing the design of the kitchen room can be evaluated immediately and make the necessary adjustments to it. Moreover, on it, design specialists will be able to show almost the entire possible color scheme, thanks to which you can completely see the future headset.
Naturally, in comparison with the purchase of finished furniture, custom -made manufacture has a large number of advantages, however, it is necessary to be prepared for the fact that it will cost it more expensive. As a rule, the cost of work on the manufacture of furniture to order is equal to the cost of all materials. To save some money, you can start making a kitchen set yourself. The seemingly impossible enterprise the wave is realized with the initial skills of assembly work and the presence of a simple tool. About how to make a kitchen set with your own hands - further.
What is it better to make a kitchen set
The correct selection of material is half the success of the entire enterprise. Now there is a wide range of materials for the manufacture of cabinet furniture: from expensive wood to a banal chipboard. Naturally, you should not fall to extremes, buying the cheapest or most expensive material. For example, the chipboard, although it is relatively inexpensive, is very impractical for the kitchen. It quickly deteriorates from moisture and loses its appearance. Therefore, the most optimal option for facades of the kitchen set is MDF. Make a kitchen set with hands from wood, performing this work for the first time, it is unlikely that it will work out.
MDF facades can be ordered by providing manufacturers in size and selecting the texture and color. This material is distinguished by excellent performance. He is not afraid of moisture, so any pollution from its surface can be removed with a conventional damp cloth. The facades of kitchen sets from MDF even withstand cleaning not too active cleaning products. However, the cost of MDF is much higher than a laminated chipboard.
It is better to use a laminated chipboard for cabinets and cabinets. It costs a little cheaper, but has a rather attractive appearance. The material is sold in the plates, but almost every store has a sawmill on which it will be cut over the indicated dimensions and glued the edge. Now the laminated chipboard is produced in a large palette of colors, so it will not be difficult to choose it for a specific project.
The rear walls of cabinets and cabinets can be finished with laminated fiberboard.
- The next main detail in the kitchen set is countertop. They are made from a large number of materials from natural granite and marble to wooden models with a special polymer coating. The former are quite expensive, although they are distinguished by excellent performance. However, along with this, they have a large weight, which requires a strong frame for laying the surface. For a kitchen from chipboard with MDF facades, the most optimal countertop is the second.
- Washing. When planning the appearance of the headset, the sink must be paid to special attention. The right choice of this element of kitchen furniture will be a guarantee of not only a beautiful appearance, but also trouble -free work. Modern sinks can be made from various materials, up to granite. There are mortise and overhead models, round, square, hawsty, with and without dryers. The most popular option is the mortise stainless steel models. When choosing a washing, it is necessary to take into account the length of the working surface of the headset so that after installation it remains part of the surface for other work.
- Furniture. Mechanisms for opening boxes, loops for doors, pens must be chosen high -quality. The fact is that the load on them is much larger than in other furniture. Naturally, it is not worth buying pneumatic closers of German or Italian production for independent manufacturing of the kitchen, the prices for them are very “biting”, but also it is also not worth buying a “Chinese consumer goods”, which will break in a month. The main thing here is to choose a middle ground between price and quality.
Fasteners. Confirmates are used to assemble furniture - special screws with a head for a hexagonal key. It is better to buy fasteners of the same size so that there are no problems with installation.
How to make drawings of a kitchen set with your own hands
In order to create a kitchen set with your own hands, it is necessary to create a project of the future product. To do this, you need to arm yourself with a ruler, a roulette with a pencil and a sheet of paper and create a scheme of room with a touch of the ceiling height, the length of each wall, the location of communications, gas devices.
After that, you can use one of the design and design programs. The most popular of them can be considered the Pro100 application. Almost all designers of cabinet furniture do not use.
To make a project of a kitchen set with its help is quite simple. The program includes those parameters of the room that were measured earlier, including the size and location of the window and doorways. The application has a large set of convenient tools, including ready -made sketches of kitchen furniture, which can simply be dragged into the working area and install as planned. A wide set of libraries will create exactly the headset that will be the most optimal solution for a particular kitchen, including the color of the facades.
A great feature of the program is that by choosing a certain element, you can see its drawing, indicating the size. It will be very useful for ordering cutting material.
When drawing up the plan of the headset, it is necessary to remember several rules for arranging objects. So, the refrigerator, for obvious reasons, cannot be located near the kitchen slab, and if a boiler or gas column is installed in the apartment, an hood should not be installed near it. Otherwise, it will create an antifot.
By compiling the project, you can go to the purchase of materials.
Assembly of a kitchen set
After the weight of the material purchased was cut, the edge was glued to it, you can start assembling the headset. If all the parts were correctly made, and the quality is better to check before taking them, then the assembly will not be difficult.
Making cabinets and cabinets does not take much time. For this work, a drill with a set of drills, screwdriver and fasteners are required. When connecting the parts in them, the hole is pre -drilled, and then the confirmation is twisted. This must be done carefully so as not to replace the chipboard. In some cases, the connecting parts are enhanced by a furniture steel corner. The shelves are installed on special stops, and drawers on the guides. Installation of the latter can deliver a lot of trouble, so this is necessary to do this before assembling the cabinet.
After assembling the cabinets and cabinets, facades and accessories are installed on them.
The next step collected elements of the headset are installed on the workplace. All cabinets should be installed in one level with the stove (if built -in technique is not used). They are aligned with screw legs.
Cabinets are also suspended to the same height. Before installing above the stove, the hood crashes into it, if it is built -in. When hanging cabinets, you need to pay attention to the reliability of the fastening, because they will have to withstand a fairly large weight.
When floor cabinets are installed, a countertop is mounted on top of them. It is fixed using a furniture corner and screws. When the countertop is installed, you can start installing the sink.
To install a cut sink, it is necessary to make a neckline in the contour of the product in the countertop. Smeal models, as a rule, have a special side, which they fit on the surface of the countertop. To repeat its contours, the sink is laid out on the countertop in the necessary position and circled with a permanent marker. Then the side width is measured and inside the circulated circuit they repeat it with an indent to the measured width, receiving the main line. In order to get an electrolobian file inside, a through hole is drilled inside the main line with a diameter of a little more than the width of the file. Next, a hole for the sink is cut along the contour of the main line. When installing the last edge of the hole, a silicone sealant is smeared to eliminate water from entering the cabinet under the sink.
The sink itself is installed on the sealant and pressed with special brackets.
