4. There are many kitchen appliances, so it is necessary to reserve more jacks and install leakage protection devices. The kitchen should have enough lights, and the light must be white, otherwise it will affect the color judgment and even affect whether the food is cooked.
At the same time, we should avoid the shadow of light, so spotlight is not suitable for use. 6. Before decorating the kitchen, you need to take the radiator in the kitchen into account to prevent the doors and drawers from colliding with them; 7. Don't let the opening of the kitchen window collide with the faucet in the sink.
Measure the kitchen twice to avoid being passive in the future. 8. The distance between the stove and the vegetable sink should not be too far or too close.
9. It is a trend for the refrigerator to enter the kitchen, but it should not be located near the stove, because the latter often produces heat, which is a pollution source and affects the temperature in the refrigerator. 10, the refrigerator should not be too close to the vegetable sink to avoid water splashing and leakage.
1 1, the cutting board should be placed near the window, and it is best to let the sun shine. 12, the stove must be avoided near the window to prevent the fire from being blown out by the wind.

The kitchen is an easy place to shelter evil people and shelter evil practices, so try to get close to it. For example, the gap between the hanging cabinet and the ceiling should be avoided as much as possible, because the ceiling is easy to condense water vapor or oil fume stains, and the top of the cabinet is easy to accumulate dust, and the gap between the two will become a difficult point for daily cleaning in the future.
The pipe gap under the pool is not easy to clean, so it should be sealed with a door, and it can also be used to put trash cans or other sundries in it. 18, avoid using mosaics.
Mosaic is waterproof and non-slip, which is a floor material widely used in kitchens in the past.

5. What should I know about the basic knowledge of cabinets?
Gold Kitchen Cabinet: Tell me about the specific knowledge of getting started with cabinets {1}: Product series cabinets: At present, cabinets can be divided into five series: solid wood door panels, fireproof door panels, plastic door panels, painted door panels and melamine door panels. They have a natural and simple effect, and the price can be distinguished according to the fineness of workmanship and painting. The core board of the top-grade solid wood door panel is the plug-in structure of wood-based panel. This combined manufacturing process minimizes the deformation of the door panel. Second, the fire door panel: at present, it is the mainstream material of the whole cabinet. The base material is generally particleboard and medium density board, and the inner and outer surfaces are pasted with fireproof boards. Universal fire-proof board cabinets are more suitable for mid-range kitchen decoration with general appearance requirements and practical functions.
Third, plastic door panels: plastic door panels are made by cutting and cleaning MDF and then gluing and pressing it with PVC film, because the selected base material is different from PVC film, and the quality is very different. A good plastic sheet will be scratched by nails, there will be no obvious traces, and the door panel is not easy to deform.
After all the materials of plastic door panels are made and processed, the quality is not easy to identify and the appearance is not visible. Quality can only be observed by vision and touch. Baked door panel: the base material of the baked door panel is medium density board, and the surface is baked in an oven at high temperature.
Can be divided into single topcoat and double topcoat. The door panels and cabinets made by baking paint technology are beautiful and gorgeous, which need careful care by users in use.
5. Melamine door panel: This door panel is cheaper. Melamine refers to a kind of impregnated paper that the surface of man-made board is pressed by a hot press. This kind of paper is acid-resistant and sealed, and it is a good surface material.
{TodayHot} Generally, cabinets are made of 16 thickness and 18 thickness. The door panel must be made of 18 thick melamine board to avoid damage to the door panel caused by the thin surface after the hinge is perforated.
{2}, structure of cabinet: 1. Structure of side plate and bottom plate of ground cabinet: The adjusting anchor installed in this cabinet must be fixed under the side plate of cabinet, otherwise it will cause great hidden danger to users in the future. 2. The skirt is fixedly connected with the cabinet: the skirt of the common cabinet is a detachable clip-on structure. Even if it is damaged by water, changing the skirt can solve the problem without hurting the cabinet.
3. Directly seal the backboard: No matter whether the wall is plastered with bricks or not, this cabinet structure makes the backboard directly contact with the wall, which is easy to cause the backboard to be damp, moldy and deformed. In addition, the backboard hanging cabinet can only be fixed to the wall with iron triangle hanging yards and expansion pipes after being directly nailed. After opening the door, you can directly see the iron triangle in the corner of the hanging cabinet and the bolt coming out directly, which will rust and be unsightly after a long time. 4. The rear body plate is a plug-in structure, but the back of the rear body plate adopts upper and lower straps as the keel connected and fixed with the wall: this method is superior to the previous hoisting method, which not only avoids the exposure of the iron triangle, but also makes the cabinet clean and beautiful.
5. Connection mode between the side panel of the hanging cabinet and the upper and lower panels: The standard connection mode should be a wooden tenon three-in-one connector, which plays the role of locking the connection parts, and the wooden tenon not only plays a firm role in the upper and lower panels, but also plays a role in positioning. {3}, several problems that should be paid attention to in cabinet design: 1. Normal cabinet customization program: 1. Before the decoration workers enter the site, they should take measurements and produce an axial view according to the specific situation of the kitchen and the size of electrical products such as refrigerator, microwave oven, sink, range hood and kitchen treasure.
2. According to the coordination with the decoration personnel, put forward the rectification opinions of water, gas, smoke and pipes, and put forward the modification opinions on the drawings indicating the reserved positions of flue sockets, various electrical appliances and water supply and drainage, so as to make the cabinet shape more in line with the wishes of customers. 3. According to these plans, after the wiring is laid horizontally, we will go to the site for the third time to retest, make the actual well profile, sign a contract to pay for the production, and the {HotTag} construction period is generally 15-20 days for delivery and installation.
4. Measure the countertop of the cabinet after the cabinet is installed, which can ensure the rationality of the size and facilitate you to have enough time to choose the matching color of the countertop. 2. Precautions before tiling: 1. Take care of the overall design of the kitchen according to whether there are electrical sockets and switches such as kitchen treasures and microwave ovens in the cupboard, such as refrigerators. 2. It is best not to stick bricks on the wall behind Yintai's cabinet, and it should be an ideal choice to be an insulation layer.
Generally, a good cabinet backboard should be of plug-in structure, and the clearance from the wall is 15- 18mm, which is convenient for air circulation and will not cause problems. 3. Before installing the cabinet, first check: 1: whether the upper and lower incoming wires are in the expected position! The water supply pipe shall not be less than 400mm, which is convenient for connecting the faucet and the kitchen treasure. The height of the sewer pipe shall not exceed 100mm or not less than 200mm, so as to minimize the moving saw of the cabinet when installing the cabinet.
2. Check whether the gas meter pipeline is in place to facilitate cabinet opening. 3. If your smoke exhaust pipe is placed in the ceiling, be sure to accurately locate the smoke exhaust pipe of the range hood at the ceiling, and check whether the outlet of the smoke exhaust pipe is sealed.
4. If the ground cabinet is not properly adjusted, after the desktop is installed, the contact point between the desktop and the cabinet will be unbalanced, and the desktop may be deformed or cracked after a long time. 5. Pay attention to the opening and closing direction of the door panel to facilitate future use and operation.
6. The hinge opening of the door panel should be 2 1-22 mm away from the door edge, and the door panel will not be tight after closing. 7. In the case of pipe opening and cutting, the size must be accurate. When sawing under the opening, the box must be adjusted to the specified height first.
8. When installing the basin, be sure to pay attention to whether there are kitchen treasures or accessories such as trash cans and meat grinders installed inside the basin cabinet, and reserve positions in advance. 9. When opening a hole in the table, pay attention to the edge of the table, preferably not less than 70 mm. ..
10. The reserved size of the refrigerator, when buying a refrigerator, you must pay attention to the refrigeration mode of the refrigerator. At present, most refrigerators radiate heat on both sides, so the reserved size of refrigerators should not be less than 650 mm, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of refrigerators and prolongs the life of refrigerators. 1 1. The distance between the range hood and the countertop should be 650-700, which will affect the smoke exhaust function.
12. The height between hanging cabinets is generally controlled at 700. If it is an extended hanging cabinet, the distance can be more than 500, depending on the specific situation. 4. setup.

It has a certain guiding role in selecting suitable professionals and cabinets, and prevents blind purchase just because you like the style of cabinets.
When drawing a floor plan, it is required to be precise and meticulous, and the positions of doors and windows, as well as water pipes, gas pipes, heaters and sockets should be marked. (2) Formulate the cabinet budget.
The budget of cabinets includes several parts: 1. The cost of cabinets; 2. The cost of countertops and kitchen utensils; 3. The cost of hardware accessories. Everyone wants their kitchen to be the most beautiful, but they need financial support.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to have money, which requires everyone to balance the gap between ideal and reality. It is very important to determine the total amount of funds. Don't exaggerate the budget with designers or shopping guides when purchasing, which is tantamount to wasting time and letting designers work fearlessly.
(3) Information provided to designers. In the communication with the designer, you should explain the situation of the kitchen and the needs of your home to him as detailed as possible, and everything in the introduction should be true.

Here, let's talk about the important parts related to installation (hanging code and adjusting feet). These two parts are relatively hidden parts in the cabinet, but the strength that can be guaranteed by hanging code during installation and the ability to adjust the levelness and verticality of the cabinet are of special significance to the bearing of the cabinet and the adjustment of the door panel in the future, so this installation method should become the installation standard of the cabinet. (2) Read the quotation of the cabinet company, pay attention to the standard configuration and optional accessories, ask for the price list of optional accessories if possible, pay attention to the price increase calculation part, and ask the shopping guide not to be vague and indicate it in the quotation.
If you don't know the pricing method, you can ask again Don't make hasty decisions and resolutely safeguard your own interests. (3) Professional standards of designers and shopping guides.
Cabinet is a systematic project, which needs professional service and consultation for you. A qualified professional cabinet designer can understand your needs and create a good kitchen culture for you.
