How to do custom kitchen cabinets? Learn these 5 tricks and never be fooled!

Many families now choose custom cabinets, which is more conducive to the rationality of the overall layout of the kitchen, and can be customized according to the overall style and color of the house. The design, materials, and accessories of custom cabinets will affect the use of the kitchen.

1 How to choose the thickness of the cabinet

At present, the thickness of regular cabinets on the market is generally 16mm and 18mm. The plates of some relatively inexpensive products are 15 mm or thinner, which are easily deformed after encountering uneven heat and cold, as well as moisture and oil smoke. How to choose cabinet thickness? Here is a trick: that is, the thicker the plate of the same material, the stronger the compression resistance and the better the quality. For example, the strength of the 18mm cabinet is better than that of the 16mm cabinet, the service life of the cabinet is longer than that of the 16mm cabinet, and it can more effectively prevent the deformation of the door panel and the cracking of the countertop.

2 How to choose environmentally friendly sheet

The main function of the cabinet is to produce gourmet food and store food. If it is not environmentally friendly, it will contaminate food and damage health. The environmental protection of cabinets mainly means that the formaldehyde emission of cabinets is lower than a release standard of the entire industry. The E0 grade is the highest level of environmental protection ever.

3. Single-sided or double-sided seal on the back panel of the cabinet

Single-sided cover refers to the fact that only one side of the back panel of the cabinet is pasted with fire-resistant skin, also known as single-veneer panel, and only the visible side has been treated.

Double-sided sealing refers to the fact that the front and back of the back panel of the cabinet are covered with fireproof leather, which is what we often call a double-faced panel. Both sides are treated, which is more aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly.
In order to save costs, some manufacturers only cover the back panel of the cabinet on one side, and the invisible side is exposed. However, after single-sided sealing, the back panel is prone to moisture and mildew, and it is also easy to release formaldehyde and cause pollution, so it is better to use double-sided sealing.

4 How to distinguish the pros and cons of cabinet countertops

There are many kinds of materials for cabinet countertops: fireproof board, artificial stone, natural marble, quartz stone, stainless steel, etc. Among all countertop materials, artificial stone countertops and quartz stone countertops are more cost-effective. The hardness, wear resistance and heat resistance of quartz stone are better than those of artificial stone.
As for how to distinguish the pros and cons of the countertop, the best way is to see whether the countertop has undergone an anti-soaking test. If the anti-soaking experiment has not been done, colored liquids such as soy sauce and mature vinegar will be quickly absorbed once they are poured on the countertop, which is not only troublesome to clean, but also has a great impact on the service life of the cabinet.

5 How to choose cabinet materials

Cabinet board: At present, the brand cabinets on the market are basically made of solid wood particle board, and some will use ecological board, but ecological board is not recommended, because there is still water in the kitchen, and the surface layer of ecological board is glued. Yes, it is easy to open the glue after a long time, and it is not as stable as the solid wood particle board.
Door panel: There are many materials for the door panel, including blister, double veneer, baking paint, etc., each of which has different characteristics. Users who just need it usually choose blister and double veneer, which are more cost-effective. If the economy allows, baking varnish and solid wood are also a good choice, showing the grade of light luxury and high-end.
