Because of the different kitchen structures, most people will choose custom cabinets in kitchen decoration. So what issues do we need to understand in the process of custom cabinets so as not to be cheated?
1. Ask about the thickness of the cabinet board
Currently, there are 16mm, 18mm and other thickness specifications on the market. The cost of different thicknesses varies greatly. For this item alone, the cost of 18mm thick is 7% higher than that of 16mm thick boards. The service life of cabinets made of 18mm thick boards can be extended by more than double, ensuring that the door panels are not deformed and the countertops are not cracked. When consumers look at samples, they must carefully understand the composition of the materials and know what they are doing.
2. Ask whether it is an independent cabinet
You can identify it by the packaging and the installed cabinet. If the independent cabinet is assembled by a single cabinet, each cabinet should have an independent packaging, and consumers can also observe it before the cabinet is installed on the countertop.
3. Ask about the assembly method
Generally, small factories can only use screws or adhesives to connect. Good cabinets use the latest third-generation cabinet rod-tenon structure plus fixings and quick-install parts to more effectively ensure the firmness and bearing capacity of the cabinet, and use less adhesive, which is more environmentally friendly.
4. Ask whether the back panel is single-sided or double-sided
The single-sided back panel is prone to moisture and mold, and it is also easy to release formaldehyde, causing pollution, so it must be double-sided.
5. Ask whether it is anti-cockroach and silent edge sealing
The cabinet with anti-cockroach and silent edge sealing can relieve the impact force when the cabinet door is closed, eliminate noise, and prevent cockroaches and other insects from entering. The cost difference between anti-cockroach edge sealing and non-cockroach edge sealing is 3%.
6. Ask the installation method of aluminum foil for sink cabinet
Ask whether the installation method is one-time pressing or glue sticking. The sealing performance of one-time pressing is more intact, which can more effectively protect the cabinet and extend the service life of the cabinet.
7. Ask the composition of artificial stone
The materials suitable for kitchen countertops include fireproof board, artificial stone, natural marble, granite, stainless steel, etc. Among them, artificial stone countertops have the best performance-price ratio.
Cheap countertops have high calcium carbonate content and are prone to cracking. Currently, composite acrylic and pure acrylic are more commonly used in the market. The acrylic content in composite acrylic is generally around 20%, which is the best ratio.
8. Ask whether the artificial stone is dust-free (less dust) installed
In the past, many manufacturers polished artificial stones at the installation site, causing indoor pollution. Now some leading cabinet manufacturers have realized this. If the cabinet manufacturer you choose is dust-free polishing, you must install the countertop before choosing the floor and paint to enter the site, otherwise you will have to spend money on secondary cleaning.
9. Ask whether a test report is provided
Cabinets are also furniture products. After the installation is completed, a finished product test report must be issued and the formaldehyde content must be clearly stated. Some manufacturers will provide raw material test reports, but the environmental protection of raw materials does not mean that the finished product is environmentally friendly.
10. Ask about the warranty period
Don’t just care about the price and style of the product. Whether you can provide high-quality after-sales service is the performance of the manufacturer’s strength. Manufacturers who dare to guarantee for five years will definitely have higher requirements in materials, manufacturing and other links, which is also the most affordable for consumers.
