Kitchen headset assembly order
Independent assembly of the kitchen headset does not constitute anything complicated. If all of its details are made high quality, and do not have to customize them at the place, then no more than half of the day will take this operation.
Installation order:
- Start the assembly of the kitchen headset is necessarily with the installation of the couch under the sink. As a rule, it is in this place that there is a communication node that will not move. In this outdoor cabinet, you will have to make holes for the supply of pipes and sewage pipes, think over the location under the sequence of the filtration plant for water purification. If water heaters are installed in the kitchen (boiler, column), then the sink is better to put it directly under them. In this case, it will not need a long wiring of hot water.
- When the installation of the cabinet under the sink is finished, you can start the installation of the other elements of the headset. Modern furniture models are usually equipped with legs that can be adjusted in height. Thanks to this, they can be easily aligned in the level even on a not quite smooth surface.
- To keep the kitchen set as a whole, all his cabinets are tightened with each other. You can do this both with the help of special furniture screeds and using conventional screws. The first option is considered more preferable, since if the headsets are able to understand, the screws can damage the panels.
- The next step in the mounting of the kitchen headset is the installation of the table top. However, before this in that part of it, which will be under the sink, cut the hole. To accurately repeat the outline of the sink, it is necessary to use the last as a template. It turns over the bottom up, install on the worktop and will be burned with the help of a marker. Next, the width of the side is measured. Then the most difficult stage comes. It is necessary inside the drawn contour to repeat exactly the same, only less on the width of the side. Make it is quite difficult, because the tabletop is no cheaper thing.
- According to the drawn inner line, the place is cut into the sink. This is done with the help of an electric bike. First, an opening of 8-10 mm with a diameter of 8-10 mm is made inside the line, then cut from it along the line. Since the countertop is pretty heavy, it is necessary to cut it with an assistant who will have to keep it from the inside. Otherwise, it can fall and under its weight broke the part of the surface, which will not be unpown. For the neat edge of the cut, it is necessary to use a pet with small teeth.
- The next step can be installed washing. Curling sinks have lower fasteners made in the form of hooks. From the reverse side of the side, it has a seal that will not give water to flow under the sink. On the front side of the seal, glue and tape applied. Before installing the tape is removed.
- Now you can proceed to the installation of the table top. It is installed with an allowance of about 10 mm from the frontal and back sides. Ideally, the countertop should be located in the ceramic apron of the kitchen. However, if there is a small gap between them, do not be upset. It closes with a special plinth.
- A tabletop is adjusted for the size of the kitchen headset with a jigsaw with small cloths.
- When installing an angular kitchen, 2 table tops have to be allowed. To make it more aesthetically, and also to the joints between the countertops did not get water and trash, a metal plank is installed between them. It is not necessarily insulating the bare places of the countertops, where heating devices will be located. Raw ends countertops can eventually spoil and cause its partial destruction. That is why their processing with edge or metal plank is mandatory. Hidden ends can be treated with silicone.
- Table tops are attached from the inside of the couch or cabinet to ordinary self-tapping screws.
- After installing outdoor Tumb, even small, slots need to be treated with a clear silicone.
Fastening mounted cabinets with their own hands
When assembling mounted cabinets, you must adhere to the following recommendations:
- Collecting details of wall closets, carefully notice the place where the holes under the fasteners should be drilled. It depends on the correctness of the markup, how much the flaps between themselves will be fastened.
- Wall cabinets are collected only after the floor elements are assembled and installed.
- Make marking on the wall so that the lower part of the finished wall headset accumulate exactly at the level of the kitchen "apron" from the ceramic tile.
- The distance from the mounted cabinet to the countertops should be about 55-60 cm.
- Most often, a mounting rail is used to create a reliable mounting of the wall cabinet on the kitchen wall. One part of it is located on the wall, and the second is on the inside of the cabinet.
Installation of mounted cabinets is more complicated than installing outdoor Tumb and make it without helper will be problematic:
- First of all, it is necessary to note the level of installation of cabinets. To do this, the height of the cabinet is measured, it adds to it the height of its installation above the table top level (usually it is 500 mm), and a mark is made on the wall. Then from her all over the wall with the level of the level draws the line.
- The next step on line is installed on the plank for fastening adjustable suspensions. These suspensions are installed in the upper corners at the back wall of the cabinet. Thanks to this bar, all cabinets will hang evenly on the same line. It is attached to the wall with the help of dowels or anchor bolts.
- The cabinet hooks of the suspension is attached to the bar, and its position is regulated by special adjusting screws. Thanks to this, you can achieve the most accurate location of the cabinets.
- Start the installation of mounted cabinets is necessary from the corner. If there is a gap between the corner wall and the first cabinet (often the walls are not quite smooth, and the kitchen does not always have strictly straight corners), it can be closed with a false panel.
- When all suspended cabinets are installed, they can be copped with furniture screeds.
