The history of glossy facades is relatively young, only a few methods or types of manufacturing such facades are widely practiced, these are film facades, PVC film is applied by hot pressing in a vacuum environment. Painted facades - by gradually applying paint in several layers, and then in the same sequence of lacquer coating and further polishing. Acrylic facades - by applying acrylic glossy plastic on MDF. Postforming - application of paper-laminate (HPL) on the base in a press under high pressure and appropriate temperature.

All of these types are unsuitable for self-production at home; either high-tech equipment or a specially equipped room is required. I want to talk about an easier way to make a facade with a high degree of gloss and a perfectly smooth surface with your own hands using a simple hand tool.

We will use Kamellit acrylic plastic as a glossy coating. The plastic is 4mm thick, so you don't need a perfectly clean room or an expensive press. Due to the thickness of the plastic, debris inadvertently caught during the application of the adhesive or the uneven application of the adhesive composition itself will not affect the evenness and smoothness of the coating plane, which cannot be said when working with materials 1 mm thick or less, even a very small speck or a layer of adhesive applied even by the method sprays will manifest themselves on the front of the facade in the form of swelling or ripples, especially irregularities stand out on dark colors. When working with our material, you can not be afraid of this, the glue will be contact, I prefer to work with Solupren glue, in our case it can be applied with a roller, brush, you can just use a swab of cloth, polyurethane foam (sponge) and you don’t need to clean the working room to the state surgical operating room.

To begin with, I want to show some of our works, in which the facades are made by the proposed method.
It should be noted that this material is much superior in strength, and also has more enhanced dirt-repellent properties than conventional, classic materials and coatings used in the manufacture of facades in modern furniture.
There are also similar pearl-effect acrylics, grandsilk. The properties are more unique, for example, handprints are almost invisible even with close scrutiny. materials Camellit and grandsilk easy to process, sawing is done with a circular saw, milling with conventional milling cutters. But if you try to bend, you will have to sweat, the material is heat-resistant and for the manufacture of a radius (bent) facade it is necessary to heat the plastic to 160-180 degrees, with artificial stone it is much easier, it is more thermoplastic, although it should be noted that the processing technology of these materials is almost identical.
There are three ways to make facades and decorative panels, at least I describe which I use myself: this is a preliminary preparation of panels with gluing a solid sheet of plastic onto a sheet of MDF or chipboard, but it is not very convenient, the format of the Kamellit plastic sheet is 3050 × 2030 × 4, Grandsilk 2020 × 1320×4 i.e. different from the size of MDF sheets and chipboard, chipboard. Then the prepared panels are cut to the desired size, it is convenient that the ends of the parts are already prepared for gluing the edging material, no additional operations associated with milling and fitting the ends are needed. The second way is cutting plastic to the size of the part, sticking it on the part, processing the ends (removing overhangs) and sticking the edge. The third way is edge sticker, plastic sticker, milling (plastic edge rounding).

I have shown the third method, first we apply a 1-2 mm PVC edge to the ends of the future facade, preferably glossy and matching the acrylic plastic to be glued. On the back side of the facade, we round off the chamfer of the edge with a 2-3mm cutter.
Shown is the rear side of the façade with a finished edge.
On the front side, we mill the protruding edge (remove the overhang) behind the face with the plane of the facade detail.
Next, we adjust the grinding machine to an ideal, even plane, and at the same time we grind the lamination, which contributes to better adhesion when gluing the plastic and the facade panel.
We clean from dust, rinse with alcohol or a non-greasy solvent.
We proceed to the stage of gluing plastic. Apply contact adhesive to both surfaces to be bonded, let dry and press firmly. The better to press down, the better and stronger it will hold, the main and probably the most important requirement when working with contact adhesive. And another important point, you need to accurately determine the drying time of the applied adhesive before gluing (joining the surfaces to be glued). Personally, I have been working with this brand of glue for a long time, I determine readiness by changing the color of the drying layer, you can check it by touching the back of your hand, there should be no sticking and the glue should not stick and remain on the hand. The manufacturer recommends a certain drying time, but at different temperatures in the room, the presence of air movement, blowing is sometimes used or simply due to the shelf life of the glue (during long-term storage, the viscosity of the glue composition changes), the drying time of the adhesive layer varies greatly. In a word, the quality of bonding also depends on the correct pre-drying time of the adhesive.
Next, we work with the plastic itself, first we remove the overhangs using a copy cutter.
The cutter has a support bearing, the end of the part serves as a template. Milling takes place clearly along the contour of the facade.
Next, we round off the sharp edges of the plastic with an edge cutter, the shape of the cutting knives of the cutter can be different.
And the final step is polishing the rounded areas, using a grinding paste. Optionally, it is possible without polishing.

As you can see, everything is quite simple, you just need a little patience, the process is quite time consuming.

P.S. I have been using this technology for a long time, I see only positive aspects, only one minus is the expensive cost of acrylic plastic Camellit.

In order to save money and time searching for the right model, users with building or carpentry skills can make furniture with their own hands.

What should be taken care of before making furniture?

When assembling furniture with your own hands, you need to think in advance about the appearance of the object and decide in which part of the apartment it will be placed. These data will allow you to determine the most suitable materials and fittings. Drawings are another important part of the process. After creating sketches with parameters and purchasing tools and building materials, you can proceed to direct installation. It is better to strictly adhere to the original idea and be attentive to all calculations, otherwise hand-made furniture may turn out to be sloppy.

The most important thing in the manufacture of furniture is a drawing.

Step 1 - Furniture Assembly Tools

For work, you will not need a special room and expensive equipment, but before assembling furniture with your own hands, you still need to stock up on tools that can be useful during work. Recommended minimum for beginners:

  • electric screwdriver;
  • drill for loops with a diameter of 2.6 cm;
  • nozzle or key, as well as a special drill for confirmations;
  • drills with diameters of 4.5, 7.5 and 10 mm;
  • awl, tape measure, ruler, pencil;
  • rubber or wooden mallet;
  • sandpaper (fine-grained).







For those who have extensive experience in making furniture with their own hands, it would be useful to purchase an electric drill, an electric jigsaw, a building hair dryer and an iron, a professional router, a stationery knife, a joint knife and a Forstner drill with a diameter of 15 mm for drilling holes for minifixes.

Step 2 - selection of materials for future furniture design

Today the market offers the widest range, including various price categories. Natural solid wood is now considered an expensive elite material, they have given way to modern slabs, consisting of only partly wood. There are several most requested options for .

Furniture from laminated chipboard

Laminated chipboard boards have taken a leading position as the main material for the manufacture of do-it-yourself cabinet furniture. They are a relatively cheap composite material resulting from the hot pressing of wood shavings. The standard thickness of such plates is 16 mm, but you can find 1 and 22 mm. Thicker slabs are cut into decorative elements and the main parts of cabinets and bookshelves where a high bending strength is needed.

Chipboard processing is usually carried out on special machines. You can resort to a jigsaw and try to cut them at home, yourself, but this will not work out smoothly: bumps and chips will be visible on the details. Such defects will subsequently be very noticeable, and they will have to be masked. For this reason, it is better to entrust the manufacture of parts to professionals.

Fiberboard furniture

Fibreboard is a lower quality and aesthetically pleasing material compared to chipboard. In furniture production, it is used for finishing the rear walls and as the bottom of drawers. The thickness of these sheets varies between 3-5 mm. The plate has two surfaces: smooth and rough. One of the rules for making furniture with your own hands: the smooth side of the sheet looks inside the drawer / cabinet. The color should be as close as possible to the shade of the main furniture material (chipboard).

It is not recommended to attach fiberboard sheets to a furniture stapler, since such a design will turn out to be unstable and loosen over time. The bottom of furniture drawers can be mounted in a groove prepared by a cutter, if all dimensions match up to a millimeter. The most popular fastening method is self-tapping screws or nails.

MDF furniture

A plate consisting of finely dispersed chips pressed under high pressure and temperature. A malleable material, it is well processed by a router, it is often used as a furniture facade (external part). Basic Features:

  • high density;
  • good moisture resistance;
  • flexibility;
  • ability to withstand temperature extremes;
  • resistance to microbial attack.

The thickness of MDF boards varies from 3 to 38 mm.

Assembling natural wood furniture is not the most practical idea, since solid wood is many times more expensive than the above price categories. It is better to entrust the work with this material to specialists.

furniture fittings

Accessories are small, but important elements, without which the furniture will not be able to perform its functions. You should not save on this part, since the service life and the overall level of performance of the future self-assembled structure depend on the quality of the purchased fittings.

Furniture handles are attached with screws. Guides (roller and telescopic, or ball) play an important role in the assembly of drawers, because they give them the correct direction of movement.

To soften the impact when closing and reduce the noise level, silicone dampers are installed on the inner sides of the furniture doors (or end face). Legs are an optional detail, but in some cases can greatly extend the life of the furniture and adjust its optimal position on an uneven floor.

The hinges affect the opening degree of the drawer doors. The standard is 180° for opening and 90° for closing. If the manufacturer has not made additives (cutouts for hinges), then they can be added in any furniture workshop. For glass doors, you need to purchase special hinges that can hold it without drilling holes.

Fasteners for furniture

Fasteners and their types require special attention. These are metal products, which ultimately are of decisive importance for furniture, since it is they that ensure its strength, geometric correctness and stability.

Dowels made of wood

Are applied to preliminary and intermediate fixing and strengthening of loading "on a cut". The dowels are inserted into the drilled holes in both fastened pieces of furniture. Later, the parts are attached in a more reliable way.

iron corners

A slightly outdated mounting system that fully justifies its cheapness with an unattractive appearance, bulkiness and loosening after some time.

Confirmat, or furniture screw

A modern fastener that has replaced ordinary self-tapping screws due to large threads: because of this, the screws hold tighter in the chipboard. The main disadvantages of this type is the need to use a special drill with different diameters for the thread, head and neck of the euro screw, as well as heads that remain visible. The master will have to select plastic plugs to match the color of the furniture body.

One of the most relevant methods of fastening today. The main advantage of eccentric couplers is that they leave drilling marks only on the inside of the product. For this mount, you will need the aforementioned Forstner drill. The method is time consuming and is great for sliding furniture doors. In other cases, it is worth stopping at simpler and less expensive options.

Selection of edges and furniture fronts

These elements perform an aesthetic function, so you need to choose them wisely. It is not difficult to make beautiful cabinet furniture that will look expensive if you carefully select decorative parts.

Edge

The security of the cuts of the body plates, and, consequently, the strength of the furniture, depends on the correct choice of this part. If you do not take care of high-quality insulation, moisture can easily penetrate into the furniture structure and destroy them from the inside.

There are several options, one of the best for making furniture with your own hands is a PVC edge. This finish does not require special skills or professional equipment. Standard sizes: 0.4 and 2 mm. In order to save money, a thin edge is glued to the ends that are inaccessible to the eyes, and 2 mm to the outer ones, which will be subjected to heavy loads and friction.

Other advantages of this type of furniture finishing:

  • Melamine edging: A cheap but impractical option. Glued with a regular iron.
  • ABS - similar to PVC, but made from an environmentally friendly material.
  • The laid on P-profile is glued to liquid nails. Impractical due to the accumulation of dirt at the junction, but helps to hide the defects of a bad cut.
  • Mortise T-profile - rarely used, inserted into the groove made by the cutter.

Front part of furniture

Kitchen facades and drawer doors are the “face” of furniture, so they should look much more presentable than other details that are not so conspicuous. To make this element with your own hands means to save time, since usually such things are made to order, and the wait can take several months.

In terms of technical details, the façade part is standardly made 2 mm smaller on each side of the main body. So, for furniture with a width of 600 mm, a facade with a width of 596 mm is suitable. The raw material of the decorative part is different from that of the main body.

Among the cheapest facades are laminated MDF panels with a short service life. Mostly found finish "under the tree." Softforming, which is gaining popularity, is similar to MDF, but differs in two-color layout and relief on both sides of the panel. Such furniture is suitable only for dry rooms (bedroom, living room). You can often see non-standard facades with curly stained glass cutouts. Glass is usually fixed to the lining on the inside of the door.

This is a high-quality, durable decoration. Differs in the severity of forms, performed without aesthetic excesses. MDF or chipboard plates are taken as the basis, which are covered with thin seamless plastic. A plastic facade is another expensive, but extremely practical option.

Characteristics:

  • smooth surface (glossy, matte);
  • concise design;
  • ABS edging or aluminum profile.

At the peak of popularity are now super glossy acrylic panels for making furniture with your own hands.

wood and veneer

Expensive, but natural materials. There is an opinion that from an environmental point of view, the option loses, since it contains a lot of varnish and impregnations. The painted facade “under the enamel” is becoming less and less common. The saturated color, which was so appreciated before, also appeared in competitors, for example, in acrylic. A significant disadvantage of such furniture is that it is unstable to deformation and scratches.

Aluminum-glass facades

The best method when making furniture with your own hands in high-tech style.

Preparation of drawings for the manufacture of furniture

Assembly drawings are a personal guide during the workflow. If you pay due attention to this part at the preparatory stage, then the master will not have to frantically make calculations and be afraid to attach something in the wrong place. You can make the task of assembling easier by sketching everything on a simple sheet of paper by hand or using.

It should be remembered that the drawing must be intelligible and readable, at least for the person who will assemble the furniture.

Calculation and detailing

It is impossible to make cabinet furniture with your own hands without taking into account the consumption of materials. This stage requires the compilation of a detailed list of what material each part will be made of, indicating its parameters. The sheet is given to the nearest available workshop, where all elements will be sawn and primary processed (edge).

The list should include consumables for the body, fittings, fasteners. So you can easily calculate the final cost of furniture, taking into account the services of the workshop. The price of a thing made by one's own hands at home is 30–35% less than the retail price in stores.

Furniture assembly technology

Any furniture should begin to be constructed with your own hands from the main frame, that is, from the largest details, gradually adding small ones. Bookcase collection example:

  1. After the preparatory stage, the side, upper and lower walls of the frame are connected and the diagonal is aligned.
  2. Then, with the help of self-tapping screws, the back of the fiberboard is attached.
  3. The third stage is the fastening of the shelves. Confirmates guarantee a stronger connection.
  4. The places of the side walls spoiled by hardware from the outside can be decorated with plugs that match in color.
  5. Now it's the turn of additional internal details, for example, shelves can have drawers (additional partitions).
  6. The decorative parts (linings, facade, etc.) are mounted last.

According to the same scheme, beds, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes and other home furniture are assembled. When using hazardous electrical equipment, generally accepted safety precautions are observed.

In order to make furniture yourself, you need to have a desire, a little care, time and basic knowledge in the field of construction. If everything is done correctly, the result will be an exclusive and functional piece of decor that will last for many years and will fit perfectly into the interior of the apartment.

Making facades for the kitchen with your own hands is a good way to save money on buying a kitchen set. Old furniture can be given a different look by replacing the doors of cabinets and cabinets, installing doors that open upwards, complementing the set with fashionable details and beautiful fittings. And even the furniture facades themselves can be made by hand from relatively cheap and affordable materials.

Replacing the fronts of the kitchen is a great way to update the kitchen set.

The furniture facade is the face of the kitchen and the main component of its style. Decorating the headset with homemade parts should be done only when there is a great desire to do the job efficiently and accurately, because improper assembly can ruin even the best materials.

For independent production of facades from solid wood or shaped bent doors, you will need skills in working with wood, MDF or chipboard, as well as the availability of special tools.

In a simpler version, self-updating the kitchen set with furniture facades is limited to taking measurements and installing updated doors and drawer panels in their intended places. Finished parts can be bought and ordered in furniture stores. There is also a service for sawing and edging selected MDF or chipboard panels. At home, without a special tool, it is difficult to accurately cut laminated boards.

But even buying or ordering panels in a store will cost less than buying ready-made cabinet furniture. Therefore, updating the kitchen by replacing facades is a common design technique.

Manufacturing options from different materials

Most often, do-it-yourself kitchen facades are made of wood. It is an easy-to-process, affordable and cheap raw material for the manufacture of materials for the furniture industry. Kitchen facades must be resistant to detergents, temperature and humidity, and wood and laminated panels meet these conditions.

Do-it-yourself facades are easy to make from such materials:

  • solid wood;
  • plywood;
  • pressed (chipboard, chipboard, MDF).

To work with the listed types of furniture raw materials, complex equipment is not required; wood can be cut with an electric jigsaw or a hand saw.

Plywood facades resemble massive ones: the top layer of birch plywood has a pronounced wood structure, some types of material have a moisture-resistant coating that gives smoothness and slight sheen. For the manufacture of plywood facades, it is better to choose thick varieties (2-3 cm). This will allow you to install mortise hinges for furniture, and the doors will be durable. Close the edge of the facades with a special tape, matched to the wood of the front side.

If there is no thick plywood, you can make beautiful facades using the technology of paneled doors. At the same time, a board about 2 cm thick is used for the frame, and the inserts are made of plywood.

With the help of additional decor (molding, painting, patination or staining), you can achieve a good result by making updated facades for kitchen furniture with your own hands.

From MDF

The simplest option for making an MDF facade is to measure the dimensions of doors and panels and order products in a furniture store. Having chosen boards with a coating of the desired color, the measurement results must be given to the master. On professional equipment, the material will be cut and glued on the edges. The customer will only have to pick up the facades prepared for installation and hang them with their own hands.

When self-cutting laminated MDF panels, it will not be possible to avoid chips on the coating along the cut line. Therefore, when cutting, you need to make an allowance of 2-3 mm around the entire perimeter of the facade. After sawing the edges, process with sandpaper, cleaning the cuts.

To glue the edges with your own hands, it is better to use PVC tape of the desired shade. The material is easy to fix on the edges of the facade with a hot iron, ironing the tape through thick paper. If it is possible to use a router at home, then it will be possible to perform edging with a tape with a spike.

The choice of materials for the kitchen must be approached responsibly: the plastic coating does not protect against water, and in conditions of high humidity, such facades quickly lose their shape. When using this type of panels, it is necessary to perform edging with high quality, so it is better to entrust the work to a professional.

Facade from chipboard

Choosing a cheap uncoated chipboard, you need to buy a film for finishing the facade. You can cut a simple chipboard with an electric jigsaw, and glue the finished facades with a film.

Chipboard has a coating that resembles valuable wood or is painted in different colors. It is better to cut such material in the workshop, providing the master with the dimensions of the panels and the location of the hinges. When cutting facades on your own, proceed as follows:

  • draw a contour line on the front side of the chipboard;
  • cut through the laminated layer of material with a sharp knife along the ruler;
  • saw the chipboard with an electric jigsaw along the cut line.

The edging of the facade from laminated chipboard is carried out in the same way as the processing of MDF.

Glossy

Facades with gloss belong to the MDF group. To cover such models use:

  • PVC film glued on a panel with or without milling on vacuum equipment;
  • acrylic plastic with PVC or aluminum edge;
  • special technology of staining with enamel and varnish.

It is impossible to make such a coating at home. To make a fashionable glossy facade for kitchen furniture, you need to purchase ready-made material. It is better to order cutting and edge stickers in the workshop, because when sanding with your own hands, the shiny layer will be damaged, and the facade will not look as elegant as in advertising photos.

When using glossy facades, careful attention to products will be required. On a shiny surface, the slightest dirt or fingerprints are clearly visible. The surface is easily damaged by slight mechanical impact, and the film coating is also unstable to high temperatures.

Handles are not only a functional piece of furniture. They complement and decorate facades. In styles with strict lines (minimalism, hi-tech), handles sometimes serve as an emphasizing element: large, shiny, but simple fittings are used. Such handles resemble roof rails and are located both vertically and horizontally.

The lightness of fashionable sets with glossy facades or made in modern style is better not to make them heavier with additional fittings. For such kitchens, ways of opening without the help of handles have been invented, by pressing the door. But sometimes such cabinets are equipped with special fittings, disguising the handle as an aluminum edge.

For rustic and luxurious styles, it is customary to choose antique handles, with a finish that imitates old bronze or made of non-ferrous metal. These are frilly cast products that should be combined with the decor of the facade.

The handles must be installed after hanging the facades on the pedestals. In order for the entire line of handles to be placed at the same height above the floor, you can stretch the cord along the entire front of the lower tier. On this line it is necessary to make marks for installing the handle on each door. The same is true when installing handles on drawers or wall cabinets.

How to properly install the handles on the facades in each individual case is written in the instructions for these products. Holes for their installation can be made in different ways: through in the plane, closed at the ends, or otherwise. When buying handles, it is better to purchase several pieces for repair during operation, as these products can be discontinued, and it will be difficult to find a replacement if necessary.

What do you do with old furniture?

The façade is the face of the kitchen, and its quality completely determines how this room will look. This point should be fully understood, setting yourself the task of their independent production. You need to understand that you will have to make facades for the kitchen with your own hands no worse than the craftsmen will do in production. We can say even more - manual work must be of high quality, otherwise there is no point in it. Is it so, for the sake of sporting interest - will it work or not? But this is a waste of money and time. This work must be approached theoretically prepared and savvy in the practical skills of using the tool. The last point will have to be mastered independently.


Do-it-yourself facades for the kitchen photo

Do-it-yourself kitchen facades: timeless wooden classics

In order to make really beautiful wooden facades for the kitchen with your own hands, an electric jigsaw and woodworking skills will not be enough - at least you will need a high-quality and, most importantly, professional, high-precision manual milling machine and no less high-quality and high-precision circular saw. This, so to speak, is a necessary minimum, without which one cannot do - one should not forget about the so-called auxiliary "small things", which in fact turns out to be very important. These are all kinds of attachments and disks for tools, wood glues, grinding tools, vices, clamps - if all this is not available, then it will be at least unreasonable to take on the production of wooden furniture facades.


How to make facades for the kitchen photo


If we talk about the very technology for the production of wooden facades from wood, then the process of their manufacture can be represented as follows.




You can see the principle of making a wooden facade with your own hands in this video.




Basically, that's all. It should be understood that the technology described above for solving the question of how to make facades for the kitchen with your own hands may vary depending on the facade itself and the material used to make it. For example, the inner insert in the frame can be made not from natural wood, but from plywood - for painting, this will be an excellent option, which greatly simplifies the work.

How to make facades for the kitchen: a simple option from furniture chipboard

Facades from furniture chipboard can be made with your own hands in two ways - one is generally elementary simple (it will only require you to install facades), and the second is a little more complicated and provides for a full-fledged cutting and manufacturing of doors for furniture. Let's take a closer look at both of these options. Let's start with the simplest.




If we talk about pasting the ends of chipboard with tape, then this work will not seem difficult. For this purpose, a special hot glue is used. Alternatively, you can purchase an edge tape with glue already applied to it - it comes in two types. This is milamine, which is essentially paper, as well as plastic. Naturally, it is better to give preference to the second option. Such tapes are quite simply glued with an iron, and the excess tape is simply cut off with a very sharp knife.

Making facades for the kitchen with your own hands: glass and glass inserts

Glass, of course, is a good material with high aesthetic characteristics, but it is very difficult to work with it on your own, and if we talk about a completely glass facade, it can be said that it is impossible - special equipment is needed here, which cannot be dispensed with. That is why, approaching the question of how to make glass facades for the kitchen with your own hands, you need to consider only two options.




In principle, this is all; today there are no other technologies for the manufacture of glass facades. One could still talk about the insert glasses themselves, but this is a separate topic, and we will cover it in another article.


These are not the only options for resolving the issue of how to make facades for the kitchen with your own hands? There are a lot of options, but for their implementation you will need the necessary equipment. I completely forgot - there is another relatively simple method that allows you to make a kitchen facade yourself. Oddly enough, but these are roller shutters, which have recently gained popularity. The principle of manufacturing such facades is very simple - again, you measure the internal size of a cabinet or cabinet and order roller shutters according to them. The next step is to install them. Such facades are great for wall cabinets, but not for cabinets - this is their drawback.

The price of finished kitchen furniture consists of the price of materials, facades and furniture fittings. Almost half of the total cost of building a kitchen is the cost of its production. And if the kitchen is non-standard, has more than four walls, or they are not located at an angle of 90 degrees, then you will have to pay extra for the development of a special project.

Obviously, it will be very profitable to make the kitchen yourself. The advantages of this solution are obvious: significant savings in the cost of labor and the ability to choose the style and design of the kitchen project and create an interior to your liking for a room of any size and shape.

Chipboard is one of the most common and affordable materials, it is perfect for a future kitchen.

A kitchen made with your own hands from chipboard will allow you not only to take into account the wishes of all family members when planning it, but also not really hit your pocket.

kitchen project

The beginning of any work is preceded by a project that includes drawings of the future kitchen with the specified dimensions. In the photo below you can see one of the kitchen projects made of chipboard.

Furniture facades have their standard sizes. They are presented in the table below (a cross at the intersection of values ​​means the standard size).

Step-by-step instruction

When assembling furniture with your own hands, you must follow a certain procedure:

  1. Order a countertop, glass facades, a plate with cutting.
  2. Buy accessories.
  3. Pick up glass facades and other details.
  4. Edge trim the ends of the parts.
  5. Attach the guides to the sides of those cabinets that will have drawers.
  6. Attach hinges to doors.
  7. According to the drawings, assemble the boxes using confirmations.
  8. Hang doors, assemble and insert drawers.
  9. Arrange the lower pedestals, install the table top and attach it to the pedestals with 4 * 30 screws, the cut corner must be processed with an edge for table tops.
  10. For the upper cabinets, a mounting rail is attached, counting so that the bottom of the cabinet is at a distance of 140-150 cm from the floor.
  11. Hanging cabinets are tied together with sectional ties.
  12. Cut holes for the worktop and sink, install them.
  13. Cut and install the wall profile to the tabletop using 3*25 screws.
  14. Adjust the gaps in the doors.
  15. Install plinth.

In addition to the general plan of the kitchen, you will need diagrams with the dimensions of each individual element. Below is an example of cutting a kitchen cabinet.

Before starting work, pay attention to the points that must be taken into account:

  1. 4 cm of free space should be left behind the cabinets (for communications and as protection against curved walls).
  2. The front pedestals are attached in one line.
  3. Buy supports only with a clip, and make the base removable.
  4. Drawer rails are best installed before cabinet assembly.
  5. The mounting rail is advised to be mounted without breaks along the entire length.
  6. The wall profile is sealed with silicone.
