Then, how to see the essence through the drawings and buy a cabinet that really suits you?
1. meters is not high enough: in order to increase the total cost of each order, the designer will design high cabinets regardless of the actual space of your kitchen. After all, the price of high cabinets is 1.5-2 times that of ordinary cabinets, so the total price comes up. For example, the total length of your basement cabinets can only be 3-4 meters, so the kitchen area is definitely not large, about 4-5 square meters, and the width of high cabinets often exceeds 600 mm Excluding high cabinets, sinks and stoves, the remaining countertops will not be 1 meter. First, it is not enough in practical use; The second is the golden section method, which has a small area and a large cabinet. The ratio of cabinet to space exceeds 0.6 18 to 1, and it feels blocked.
2. Avoid core columns and reduce hanging cabinets: every family will have core columns such as downpipe, gas pipe and flue, and designers will let go of core columns in the design, which will reduce the difficulty of production and save labor. However, some small packing columns (within 200MM*200MM) should be packed in hanging cabinets, and the overall effect is better, because there will be no concave files, and it also avoids the accumulation of soot that is difficult to clean in the future.
3. A large number of aluminum frame doors and flip doors are used on the hanging cabinets. The reason is that the profit of aluminum frame door is large, and the flap door needs to be equipped with pressure rods. You know, although the profit of a batten is amazing, some of them reach more than 300%. Aluminum frame doors and flip-up doors should be enough, generally not more than one-third of the total number of hanging cabinets, which is not practical.
4. The direction of the pattern is not indicated on the design drawing: because the CAD drawing can't express the texture of the double decorative board, people generally don't consider this problem. If you choose a textured door panel and pay attention to the horizontal direction in the use of the small kitchen, you can expand the visual effect of the space. However, the cost of manufacturing this kind of door panel is more than 20% higher than that of vertical door panel.
5. Design small door panels for large kitchens: For kitchens of more than 6 square meters, the total length of ground cabinets can be more than 6 meters, but in some design drawings, the width of each door panel is about 400MM, which makes the cabinets look stingy after completion. For this kind of cabinets, the width of the door panel should be 450 mm-500 mm (several narrow doors can be inserted, such as the doors of lunch boxes and seasoning baskets), and the drawer size should be greater than 700MM, which can be 900 mm-1m. However, the loss of cutting this kind of door panel is large, and the cost is more than 20% higher than that of standard door panel.
