Assembly of a kitchen set

Recently, special kitchen sets have become increasingly popular. If earlier furniture and electrical appliances simply stood in free order throughout the entire area of ​​the kitchen, now prefabricated structures specially selected in size and dimensions are sold, which are installed exactly along the perimeter and significantly save space. Also, in the absence of a model suitable for you in the store, specialists can create an individual design and make such a device to order according to the required dimensions.

Assembly

The advantages of such an invention are practicality, space saving, beautiful design and harmonious combination with the environment. Among the minuses, perhaps, you can highlight only the high cost and complexity of the installation. If the first problem is not so easy to solve, then with the second we will teach you how to cope on your own, without resorting to outside help.

IMPORTANT! If you do not have experience or you do not understand such designs, and you have doubts, it would be better to turn to specialists. They know their job and, in any case, install the headset, and do not leave it disassembled.

Many people do not trust companies that provide kitchen assembly services and prefer to do it on their own. Some see this as an unjustifiably high price, while others see a poor installation quality. In any case, if you decide to build it yourself, you should correctly approach everything and carefully study the theoretical foundations. In our article, we’ll just talk about the kitchen set and how to assemble it yourself at home.

Before we talk about the cons, let's look at the advantages and benefits of choosing a self-installation:

• First of all, it is worth noting that you are doing this for yourself, which means that everything will be fixed securely and the structure will hold firmly, since you yourself are responsible for quality and this is in your interests.
• You will be sure of the quality of the materials from which you assemble the product.
• The size and shape of the headset is adjustable according to your wishes, which will ensure harmonious integration into the environment.
• Saving money is also an important factor. With these funds, you can buy something useful and necessary from kitchen utensils or additional furniture.

But despite such a large list of advantages, there are also serious disadvantages associated primarily with the headset installation and fixing system. Highlights that may cause difficulty:

• Complex schemes and drawings, according to which to assemble furniture.
• It will take you a lot of time to install, especially if you are doing this for the first time.
• With improper equipment, the entire system may not function properly and will not provide proper air exchange. This can lead to problems with food storage and overheating of the built-in equipment.
• The slightest inconsistency with the plan can cause serious problems in fastening.
• You take full responsibility for self-assembly; therefore, if property is damaged, compensation is unlikely to be paid.

IMPORTANT! Think about whether you should take the risks and engage in self-installation, or entrust it to professionals. Yet they are not in vain getting their money.

If you have experience and self-confidence, you can start work, for convenience, follow the instructions described below.

As a standard, all necessary diagrams, drawings, instructions for assembly and operation of equipment should be present. All your actions must comply with the described requirements and directions, as different headsets have their own characteristics in the manufacture and design. The construction of additional drawings is not a mandatory element, however, it will help ensure convenience during installation.

You need to schematically display all the basic elements and their projections on the walls of the room, according to the following dimensions and important parameters when using:

• The length of the entire structure should be cleaned within the walls.
• The height of the topmost shelf should be sufficient so that you can easily reach it.
• The height of the worktop is approximately equal to the level of your belt (varies between 10-15 cm).
• All measurements are carried out strictly using the level.
• All elements must fit snugly against each other and not leave openings.
• When constructing the drawing, it is necessary to take into account access to the power point from the network for connecting electrical appliances.

All measurements are carried out using a construction tape or a centimeter tape by two people in order to avoid inaccuracy of measurements. At this stage, it is possible to adjust and make changes to the design of the main parts. Properly planned scheme will ensure the correctness of all work

Currently, there is a huge selection of material of various nature. All of them comply with the requirements and standards. Companies responsibly approach this issue and make all designs durable and of high quality, so you can choose absolutely any product that you like.

However, there are a number of factors that make it possible to give preference to one or another material from which the product was made.

1. First of all, it should be understood that it is better to choose environmentally friendly materials. Due to the introduction of synthetic substitutes in the industry, the number of diseases has increased. Artificial coating emits harmful substances with air vapor.
2. The set must be made of wear-resistant materials, not subject to corrosion.
3. Components must not heat up and ignite easily, as there is a stove nearby, which creates a risk of fire.

We recommend choosing an old, time-tested version of wood. It combines the most important qualities and has a beautiful appearance.

Before proceeding to the main stage of work, you should carefully prepare and purchase all the necessary tools. Usually, special devices are not required for assembly. The standard set is limited to the following:

• Measuring tape, pencil and level with corner.
• Hacksaw.
• A set of screws.
• Screwdriver.
• When installing the enclosure in a concrete wall, a perforator is required.
• Hexagon.
• Screwdriver, pliers, hammer, nails. Usually available in every home as a must-have tool for small jobs.

After the preparation and mastery of the installation scheme, you can proceed to the main and most difficult stage. We begin to assemble headsets in stages.

1. First of all, install the lower cabinets according to the measurements. To do this, you need to properly collect them. First, the side walls with the facade are assembled, then the bottom is attached, and then the back wall. Before starting, they cut in hinges for future doors, strengthen the structure with crosses, attach legs to the bottom of the drawer. After the final installation, the doors are hung.
2. Then proceed with the installation of cabinets with drawers. The assembly principle is the same. First, we mount the legs and frame. A feature of these structures will be the fastening of the guides on the inner side of the side wall. According to the scheme, postpone the place of attachment, and with the help of screws, install the boxes in the rails.
3. After the lower tier is assembled, it is necessary to attach the countertop. To do this, all cabinets are pulled together and fastened with screws using metal corners. First you need to cut holes in the countertop for the sink, stove and other provided designs.
4. It remains to hang the upper drawers. Assemble them according to the instructions described above and attach them to the wall using various awnings. The product must be firmly fixed and hold firmly under the weight of the large weight of wood and utensils inside.

We hope you succeed and you will be satisfied with the result. It is really possible to assemble a kitchen set with your own hands. This is a time-consuming process, but you are sure that everything was collected as necessary for you.
