What are the highlights of whole-house customization?
1. One door to the top
The most popular one now and everyone’s favorite is the one door to the top. The requirements for the flatness of the top of the wall are very high. If your home has a suspended ceiling , then you can do it boldly. If there is no suspended ceiling, you still need to consider it carefully.
Whether you have layers in the middle or continuous layers, the effect of leaving a closing strip inside is very simple and elegant.
On the contrary, the closing strips are left outside. Due to structural reasons in my home, this cabinet has no choice but to leave the closing strips outside, which can be seen.
2. Kitchen cabinet partitions
The kitchen is the hardest hit area for whole house customization, and it is also the place where big holes are most likely to occur. Let me talk about the cabinets first. If your kitchen cabinets are as long as mine, there will be a lot of partitions in the cabinets to store various small items.
At this time, you need to pay attention to the hinges and The partitions must not be slapped together. If they are hit together, the partitions cannot be installed, and the height of the partitions cannot be adjusted at any time. To a certain extent, the partitions are invalid.
3. The distance between the range hood and the wall cabinet
Generally speaking, the gap between the range hood and the cabinet above the range hood will be very large, which is ugly from the appearance point of view, but from the practical point of view From a perspective, it's a waste of space.
Our solution to avoid this problem at this time is to make an appointment with the installer of the range hood and the installer of the cabinets, and come to the home together to discuss the installation method of the range hood, so as to ensure that the installation The gap that comes out is very small and beautiful.
4. Gypsum board ceiling access opening
If you choose to use gypsum board ceiling in the kitchen and bathroom in order to pursue a high-end feel, you must pay attention to leaving space for the gypsum board ceiling during the carpentry stage. The size of the inspection opening is generally 400-400 or 300-600, and there are many lines in the ceiling. If the inspection opening is too small, it will affect later inspection and maintenance.
If the cabinet blocks the access door, it means that the access door is directly disabled.
This will result in that if there is any problem with the gypsum board ceiling, the entire cabinet will have to be dismantled and repaired.
5. Handle-free cabinets
The most popular cabinets now are handle-free. Visually, the entire kitchen cabinets are very simple and neat.
But a big problem is that the handle-free cabinets sacrifice cabinet space. There is at least a 5 cm gap inside, which reduces the actual space for placing plates, bowls and chopsticks.
So if you want to make the cabinet handle-free, you must try to install the drawers of the cabinet as low as possible.
6. Installation of built-in dishwasher
When renovating now, everyone will basically buy a dishwasher. For built-in dishwashers, there is generally no structure at the top, so remember to ask the merchant to make some support structures for us to facilitate future table splicing. Otherwise, there will be no load-bearing capacity above the dishwasher, which is very dangerous.
In addition, you must pay attention to the opening angle and height of the dishwasher. Our daily baseboard height is 11cm.
If you do not calculate the door opening height in advance, it will get stuck easily and you will not be able to fully open the dishwasher door. In my case, you may have to cut off a piece of skirting line, which is actually very inconvenient. Everyone must consult the customer service of the dishwasher according to the model of the dishwasher you purchased.
7. Choose PUR instead of EVA!
There are three types of edge sealing on the market: PUR, EVA and laser edge sealing. The effect of laser edge sealing is the best, but The price is the highest.
Considering the quality-price ratio, PUR is the most suitable. PUR glue comes from Germany and is cured by moisture, so it is not easily affected by temperature or cracking, and it is very beautiful. Don't choose EVA for cheap. EVA is not moisture-proof and easy to crack. The glue lines will turn black, which is very unfriendly to light-colored boards.
