Any kitchen furniture that was manufactured in a conveyor
way loses its appeal over time. Most often, it is not the cabinet itself that
loses its presentability, but the front panels of the kitchen wall, i.e. her
doors. Therefore, in order to make your kitchen wall look updated, it will be
enough to replace the doors.
New cuisine is not cheap. Therefore, partial repair of the
kitchen may be the best budget option. The kitchen wall with an old facade and
new front plates will not only refresh the interior of the kitchen, but will
also be able to serve you for several more years. Countertop Replacement
Replacing a kitchen worktop The work surface in the kitchen attracts
attention, constantly falling into view. Therefore, to update the kitchen,
sometimes it will be enough to replace the countertop. Such countertops are
available and are constantly on sale: both in the construction market and in
specialized stores. They vary in appearance, color shades, quality.
The installation
of kitchen fittings is carried out before installing the panels on the kitchen
wall housing. First, the place of washing is marked: adhesive tape is glued to
the countertop along the future contours of the sink - an adhesive tape will protect
the panel from scratches during its sawing. The line along which the cut will
pass is marked at a distance of 10 mm from the edge - this will be a support
for washing. In the corners of the future cut, holes are made with a
ten-millimeter drill to make it easier to change the direction of sawing. The
edges of the tabletop saw cuts are treated with a thin layer of silicone to
protect the wood from moisture.
The next step is
processing the hole for the sink. Scotch is attached to the sink and the center
punch marks the point of attachment of the sink. The hole, the attachment point
of the sink, is drilled in several stages - with drills 3, 6, 12 mm.
Next, the hole for
the mixer is marked. The diameter of the hole is 35 mm. Cut it with special tools
- a metal crown, a circular saw, etc. Instead of silicone, the edges of the
sink are covered with sealing rubber.
Next, the
countertop is mounted on the wall housing and secured with brackets. At the end
of all work with the installation of the sink, gently the cutter removes the
part of the sealing tape that protrudes. Household shelves between lockers
Kitchen furniture,
consisting of several modules, does not always fill the whole place in the
kitchen. In order to create a continuous plane, wall shelves can be placed in
the niches between the cabinets. In the manufacture of such shelves are very
simple. You will need a mounting plate sawn into several parts and overlays for
the edges. Holes designed to secure the shelves are made at the same distance.
Shelves are fastened with screws. Places for countersunk screw heads are best
countered, so the screws will not be noticeable. Mounting a kitchen hood
Mounting a kitchen hood
Today, the installation of a chimney can be carried out by a layman. All
that is needed is to make two holes under the dowels in the wall. In order to
precisely mark the points for drilling, there is a template for drilling in the
package for the hood. The center is marked between the lockers, then with the help
of the level a vertical line is drawn, on which a template is attached with
tape. The pattern marks the drilling points. Next, holes are made, and the
installation of hood parts is carried out. Glass elements
To give a more
respectable look to the kitchen, you can use frosted glass in its design. For
example, they can be used for revealing niches between lockers. To do this,
first try on the glass directly in its future place; we make bastings for
drilling holes for glass fasteners, and do not forget about the safety plastic
profile. Next, the glass and the safety profile are connected, attached to the
wall and pressed on top of the aluminum profile.
