Kitchen set assembly

Recently, special kitchen sets have become increasingly fashionable. If previously furniture and electrical appliances simply stood in a free order throughout the entire kitchen area, now prefabricated structures specially selected in size and dimensions are sold, which are installed exactly around the perimeter and significantly save space. Also, if the store does not have a model that suits you, 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 disadvantages, perhaps, we can only highlight the high cost and complexity of installation. If the first problem is not so easy to solve, then we will teach you how to cope with the second one on your own, without resorting to outside help.

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

Many people do not trust companies that provide kitchen assembly services and prefer to do it themselves.Some see this as an unreasonably high price, while others see it as poor installation quality. In any case, if you decide to assemble it yourself, you should approach everything wisely and carefully study the theoretical foundations. In our article we will talk about the kitchen set and how to assemble it yourself at home.

What difficulties may arise when assembling it yourself?

Before we talk about the disadvantages, 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 everything will be secured securely and the structure will hold firmly, since you yourself are responsible for the quality and this is in your interests.
• You will be confident in the quality of the materials from which you assemble the product.
• The dimensions and shape of the headset can be adjusted according to your wishes, which will ensure harmonious integration into the surrounding 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 installation and fastening system of the headset. Key points that may cause difficulty:

• Complex diagrams and drawings according to which the furniture will be assembled.
• The installation will take you a lot of time, especially if you do it for the first time.
• If the equipment is incorrect, the entire system may not function correctly and will not provide proper air exchange. This can lead to problems with food storage and overheating of built-in appliances.
• The slightest discrepancies with the plan can cause serious problems in fastening.
• When assembling it yourself, you take full responsibility; therefore, if property is damaged, compensation is unlikely to be paid.

IMPORTANT! Consider whether you should take the risks and do the installation yourself, or leave it to professionals. Still, they don't get their money in vain.

If you have experience and confidence in your abilities, you can start working; for convenience, follow the instructions described below.

How to make a drawing and measurements?

The standard package must contain all the necessary diagrams, drawings, instructions for assembly and operation of the equipment. All your actions must comply with the described requirements and instructions, since different headsets have their own manufacturing and design features. The construction of additional drawings is not a mandatory element, but will help ensure convenience during installation.

You need to schematically display all the main elements and their projections on the walls of the room, according to the following dimensions and parameters important for use:

• The length of the entire structure must be removed within the walls.
• The height of the top shelf should be sufficient so that you can easily reach it.
• The height of the table top is approximately equal to the level of your belt (varies within 10-15 cm).
• All measurements are carried out strictly using a level.
• All elements must fit tightly to each other and leave no openings.
• When constructing a drawing, it is necessary to take into account access to the mains power point for connecting electrical appliances.

All measurements are carried out using a construction tape or measuring tape by two people to avoid inaccurate measurements. At this stage, it is possible to adjust and make changes to the design of the main parts. A well-planned scheme will ensure the correctness of all work

Which material to choose?

Currently, there is a huge selection of materials of various natures. All of them meet the requirements and standards. Companies take a responsible approach to this issue and make all designs durable and high-quality, so you can choose absolutely any product you like.

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

1. First of all, you should understand that it is better to choose environmentally friendly materials. Due to the introduction of synthetic substitutes into industry, the number of diseases has increased. Artificial turf releases harmful substances with air vapor.
2. The set must be made of wear-resistant materials that are not subject to corrosion.
3. The components should not become hot and flammable, since there is a stove nearby, which creates a risk of fire.

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

We prepare materials and tools.

Before you begin the main stage of work, you should carefully prepare and purchase all the necessary tools. Usually no special equipment is required for assembly. The standard set is limited to the following:

• Measuring tape, pencil and level with a corner.
• Hacksaw saw.
• Set of screws.
• Screwdriver.
• When installing the housing into a concrete wall, you will need a hammer drill.
• Hexagon.
• Screwdriver, pliers, hammer, nails. Usually found in every home as mandatory tools for performing small jobs.

Assembly instructions

After the preparation has been completed and the installation diagram has been mastered, you can proceed to the main and most difficult stage. We begin to assemble the set step by step.

1. The first step is to install the lower cabinets according to the measurements. To do this, you need to assemble them correctly. First, the side walls with the facade are assembled, then the bottom is attached, and then the back wall. Before starting, hinges for future doors are cut in, the structure is strengthened with crosspieces, and the legs are attached to the bottom of the box. After final installation, the doors are hung.
2. Then they begin to install cabinets with drawers. The assembly principle is the same. First we install the legs and frame. A special feature of these designs will be the fastening of guides on the inside of the side wall. According to the diagram, set aside the mounting location, and use screws to install the boxes into the rails.
3. After the lower tier is assembled, you need to attach the tabletop. To do this, all cabinets are pulled together and secured with metal corners with screws. First you need to cut holes in the countertop for the sink, stove and other intended structures.
4. All that's left is to hang the top drawers. Assemble them according to the instructions described above and attach them to the wall using various canopies. The product must be firmly fixed and held securely under the heavy weight of the wood and utensils inside.

We hope everything works out for you and you will be satisfied with the result. It is really possible to assemble a kitchen set with your own hands.This is a labor-intensive process, but you are sure that you have collected everything exactly as you need it.
