preparatory stage of work

Before you make a cupboard with his hands, should weigh everything in perspective.

1. If the kitchen is fully equipped, and urgently needed a corner cupboard between the other two, it is important how to find the door.Dimensions correlate with the surrounding cabinets.To pick up the material under a common facade, the door are made of frosted glass in the color of other materials room.It can be done in the frame and secure the top piano loop - the easiest option.

2. Sometimes it makes sense to carry out a partial restoration of the built-in furniture in the kitchen - add a couple of missing cases with simultaneous replacement of the façade.This is very advantageous when the body is reliable, we can only update the surface.Replace not only door - acrylic countertop unite all the base cabinets in a single cutting surface.Filling shelves inside will remain the same, very comfortable and familiar.This update kitchen will cost three times cheaper.

3. Kitchen cabinet may urgently need, and as a disguise for non-aesthetic equipment - gas meter, a mini-boiler or corrugation for drawing.The upper cupboards is ideally suited for this.The free space of the decorative casing used efficiently by providing a shelf or drawer for tools.Top cover for this structure is not required - there must come out of the pipe.Additional crossbar at the door need to fix the cabinet rigidity.

4. The important point, which frightens beginners initially work - cutting the material.Make it perfectly at home is not possible, you need a special tool, the machine better.The nearest to you joiner's shop drawings for a small fee will make perfect cuts, prepare holes, finish the edges and even formalize otortsovkoy.Sometimes sawing offer in-store materials.You will save a lot of time and effort, but will get a lot of pleasure from the ideal components to update your kitchen.

What materials are used for home-made kitchen cabinet

To make kitchen cabinet with your own hands, you can use different materials.

1. Frame furniture is usually made of particle board (chipboard).For the kitchen it is advisable to take a water-resistant material high density by 16-18 mm.For countertops suitable only chipboard 3.2 mm with a washable surface and otortsovkoy.

2. Under the facade or cabinet doors using veneer, natural or synthetic.Suitable laminate and melamine.Laminate - a protective covering for particleboard and fiberboard.

3. MDF higher quality than the DSP, the material - is compressed wood dust on the adhesive basis.It is more expensive and stronger than wood and synthetic analogues, but in the production of furniture it is the most flexible, it can be bent.MDF is a matte, lacquered and laminated front surface.

4. The most expensive material - natural wood or array.It is used for cabinet doors.To reduce the cost and ease of making him the door frame, and in the center - veneer, decorative plywood.The most expensive - marquetry mosaic painting made of natural wood, which is sometimes inserted into the door frame as a separate panel.The tree is sensitive to temperature and humidity, but has excellent decorative properties.It protects processing impregnated or coated with a special water-repellent finish.

5. Multiplex - a modern material on the basis of plywood, where the wood is glued in a different direction layers.He is not deformed and not afraid of water.

6. Plywood is of variable quality and thickness.It is perfect for interior shelves on the back wall and the bottom drawers.This is the cheapest material, but it can also be further processed for moisture resistance more attractive.If plywood is not Weeden - it makes no sense.On the back wall, and enough press board.

7. High strength thick glass is also suitable in the shelves of the kitchen cabinet door.It looks nice in the kitchen and stained glass in the doors.The edges after cutting must be sanded, and the glass is conveniently mounted in a wooden or plastic frame.

8. Modern synthetic materials or acrylic-based plastic material suitable as additional finishing, but not as the main material.MDF on the laminate 5 mm or more are best suited for the cabinet walls.

9. If you want to make the kitchen very respectable - order all the doors of the same array or veneer with inserts in the carpentry workshop.Oak, walnut, ash - for every taste, they can be dyed in the desired color stain, such as mahogany.There is another way - vybelivayuschy lacquer, which is applied in several layers.

Photo cupboards prompt which option most suitable design.In the selection of the facade material cabinet kitchen curtain or kitchen floor cabinet is important to consider the overall style of the room.Selectable color should blend in with the colors of the interior and the rest of the furniture.Only after you have made a choice in favor of materials for the manufacture of self-enclosure or total restoration, they can acquire.

Tip: If we restrict ourselves assembling a cupboard, it is easier to buy a carpentry workshop cutting available there - they are half the price.Leaving on a cupboard with his hands the drawings easier to order their whole assembly kit off the shelf.

Preparation for drawing cupboard

If you never ever make accurate drawings for cabinet furniture, enough to see the ready - in catalogs, books, manuals or on the internet.

1. Having dealt with the basics, the easiest way to replicate the appropriate option to adjust their sizes.Drawing - this is not the picture, and a simple circuit, there need not be an artist.It suffices to take a sheet of paper, triangle, pencil and do their version of the pattern, and then after a correct draft marks.

2. In the drawings, the accuracy of measurements and compliance with each surface is very important.All dimensions are indicated in millimeters.If manufactured cabinet will be inserted between the other, make sure to open the door is enough space.It is better to do with an error in the negative than to redo everything again because of the extra 2-3 mm after otortsovki and assembly.

3. Perfect drawing - with the exact dimensions of each part, their number and the general sketch.Parallel surfaces must be exactly the same, they do not need a separate plot.But if they are made of different materials, for example, a cover and a bottom, consider the difference in thickness, make new measurements.Remember that you need to consider the thickness of the panel engages with, otherwise the overall dimensions may be different.

4. At home cutting accuracy is particularly important because the tool setup without corrections and rough give a small difference.But that it is enough to raise the cabinet does not fit in their niche, door contacts the sidewall of the adjacent cabinet and will not open.The door is made of 4-5 mm less than that will ensure free opening.

5. Understand and method of assembly - the upper and lower surfaces will be between the side walls or on the contrary, sides top and bottom of all scrapie.See how ready-mounted cabinets.Typically the outside sidewall, and the inside horizontal, but may be options.posterior wall thickness will affect the extent to which the cabinet will be issued in advance.

6. If you have to collect the floor rather than the kitchen cabinet mounted, the sidewall will serve as legs.In this case, the lower surface is mounted slightly above the level of the sidewalls, given floor irregularities.It is better to raise the bottom shelf at 5-6 cm above that, with the possible flooding of kitchen water from getting on the shelves.Emptiness is better to close the cap, mounted between the sidewalls.Ideal - when all the furniture for the kitchen and bath mounted, regardless of the lower or upper plane.

7. For outdoor kitchen cabinet need worktop or worktop, if the product will be on top of the table level.Higher enclosure without countertop requires a greater number of shelves.Internal shelves should be slightly shorter than the bottom so that the door is firmly closed without knocking.

8. The last thing to consider - the depth of the kitchen cabinets.If the product is collected in a single copy, complementing other furniture, then make measurements companion cabinets.The rest of the kitchen cabinets sizes depend on space to accommodate.

9. The old method of making a kitchen cabinet furniture assumed a wooden frame.Today, the entire cabinet furniture collected by the general scheme, in view of the structural variants upper or lower placement position.It's legs, loops for attaching, number of shelves inside handle upper or lower - that's the whole difference.

10. At the height of the one-piece kitchen cabinets commensurate with the markings of other subjects - a gas stove, a table or a refrigerator.The narrow gap between the sink and the stove can be placed on the rollers sliding closet used as a bar or a store for bythimii.

11. The last point - supplies.The method of fastening the door is straight and the density of its fit to a greater extent affect the overall aesthetics than the material used.Consider what will be the mechanism of fixing the door and its handle - with one hole or two.Do not forget about hanging loop to mount on the wall.If you make the cabinet 2 - floor and mounted one above the other, the handle will be mounted at different angles: the top or bottom.All metal parts will help you choose a consultant in the Department of accessories.

Tip: If the manufacture of the cabinet will be used impregnation, glue, varnish other chemical liquid, it is important to them to choose the right.Cheap lacquer can be sticky and eroding over the years, and products such as bread or honey quickly absorbs odors and become unusable.

These recommendations seem experienced master the basics, but for a beginner in such a case, any advice is invaluable.To avoid unwanted alterations and defects in the finished product, it is important to consider all these points.Structural abnormalities even 2 mm should be reflected in the sketch.Only after everything is thought out, measurements and taken into account, proceed to the cutting of materials or bought ready-made parts.All selections are made only in cutting pencil on the inside, as a marker pen or felt pen on the left track caustic face.

Tools

When purchasing materials and preparation of all components is important to consider all the costs.If there is a complete set of tools - sawing can be done independently.In the absence of 1-2 devices, rather rent them by the day, so you need to decide on the date of execution of works.If there is no equipment - leave this to professionals sawing workshop or carpentry workshop, and assembly make yourself.

Required tools and accessories:

1. Fraser with a straight slot cutter and nozzle for sampling under p'o-t'ai mounted hinges, screwdriver, drill with a circular nozzle or drill for knots, the conventional drill and screwdriver, stapler with staples for mounting the rear panel, universallevel.

2. Concealed hinges for doors, metal corners for hanging cabinet, pins, dowels, SCREW and plugs, screws, shelf supports and slats and glue.

assembly process

1. Place all cut and numbered items in the order in which they are collected.The roof, bottom, side walls and fixing straps under the racks will be needed in the first place.The shelves and the door can be put off.Additionally pencil mark arrow on the inner surface, which surface to which to mount, so you do not confuse.Drill holes for the shelf supports.

2. On the door and one inner surface before mounting drill holes for the hinge pins.Everything is important to mark and execute precisely that the door is not hung and tightly closed.For internal use a circular hole cutter or a special attachment on a drill.Beginners can use the most primitive and archaic variant of fastening the hinged door - on a piano hinge.

3. Wardrobe easier to collect on shkantovyh connections.You will need a flat cutter for cutting slots where paste in flat dowels.They swell the adhesive, providing a strong connection, and do not be seen.The cutter will notch quality, and additionally glued dowels better score.Next dowel must enter into the same hole made in the perpendicular plane.A good sizing gaps between shkantami.So are assembled main frame.Additionally, you can fix the SCREW and close the flap.In an extreme case - in addition to fasten with nails.

4. The base cabinet is ready, then fasten the back wall, which will give rigidity, the easiest way - stapler.If conceived in wall cabinets should be light - prepare the holes for the LEDs.Next, secure the rear wall of plywood or cardboard press.She did not give the design skew movements.It is best to put it into the grooves milled for it, and to fix a stapler staples after checking perpendicular angles.

5. On the upper edges of the cabinet secure screwdriver metal corners, which are reliable for bolting the unit to the wall.It's enough to 4x15 screws.

6. Mount cupboard doors - the most crucial moment.Concealed hinges need to be adjusted.Round holes are drilled on the door of a round cutter or a nozzle for knots in the drill.They should be placed at 10.8 cm from the upper edge.It is necessary to carry out the work carefully so as not to drill through the door.Opposing them openings in the cabinet sidewalls are made in advance, prior to assembly.

important not to miscalculate when measuring to all be the same.When one loop is installed, calibrate the level of horizontal, fixed and adjustable second.First fasten hinges to the door, then put in by clipping on the side wall.After that, install the cabinet on the wall and put the shelves.The floor cabinet not to forget to insert the cap prior to installation, it should be deeper than the door.Its secure the pins in the housing assembly.
