How to assemble a corner kitchen set with your own hands. Proper kitchen installation

You may have to go to several stores or visit a significant number of Internet sites to compare prices and offers for shipping, warranties, etc.

However, even if you have taken into account all these points, you can forget about the most important thing! Namely, that any room must be carefully prepared for the installation of new furniture in order to ensure the safe functioning of your future kitchen.

So you've found the kitchen of your dreams. We assessed the dimensions of a new set of furniture, chose the necessary modules or a complete set, “figured out” how the products would look in the kitchen area, the price suited you, and you decided to order this “perfect” kitchenette. Excellent! Now you should start preparing the room for installation.

Firstly, all aisles and corridors must be free so that movers can bring furniture into the house without damaging anything. To avoid damage floor covering or bringing construction debris into the house, the floor must also be covered with cardboard or film. Naturally, old kitchen, sink and sink must be dismantled.

Secondly, take care of the power supply of technical appliances, lighting elements, the correct placement of sockets, ventilation outlets, gas and water supply, and also prepare the walls for furniture installation.

About this in order.

1. Power supply (stove, hob, oven, washing machine, refrigerator, water heater, etc.)

Before installing furniture, decide what equipment you need to connect for its further work. How powerful this will be, what sockets and wires will be required.

Installing outlets is best:

behind the back walls of the cabinets: in this case, it is necessary to cut a hole to provide free access to the outlet (see Fig. No. 1);

directly below the headset. Sockets for a refrigerator or stove can be placed under the cabinets next to them (see Fig. No. 2);

rice. 2

in a cupboard, on an open wall (when installing a washing machine / dishwasher, sink). At the same time, it is important to cut off the possibility of water getting on them (see Fig. No. 3);

rice. 3

with a free wire outlet (about one meter long) - for a free separate hood, located at a height of about two meters. Slightly above the upper elements of the kitchen - for the built-in hood (see Fig. No. 4);

rice. four

on the side wall of the kitchen - for the refrigerator. At the same time, the distance between the wall and the device must be sufficiently spacious (see Fig. No. 5);

Thus, sockets should be placed so that at any time you can easily connect appliances to them or turn them off if necessary.

rice. 5

It is necessary to make the callout of the sockets a little more than 30 mm above the upper part of the headset level and at least 40 mm above the level of the end of the table top plinth.

In no case do not place sockets next to the sink, stove or behind them! This will inevitably lead to a short circuit or fire. You can also not install them behind kitchen appliances.

2. Lighting

Another important point is a comprehensive lighting of the kitchen area. This includes lighting both the entire room with a lamp or chandelier on the ceiling, and working area.

very fashionable and stylish solution now is the installation of kitchen lighting with special lamps.

Recall that the fixtures can be either fluorescent or halogen (or a combination of both). The former have their own switches, the latter do not. That is, the first need a direct connection to the network, the second - using a switch.

3. Ventilation

You should also consider how the kitchen elements will be located in relation to ventilation, and how the hood will be located.

Most often, the duct is hidden behind false ceiling, or installed above the upper cabinets of the kitchen (see Fig. No. 7).

rice. 7

Consider also how the duct should be connected to the ventilation shaft.

Remember about the built-in ventilation, which usually comes with appliances (for example, a refrigerator). You can not put the refrigerator close to the wall, otherwise you will not ensure sufficient ventilation.

4. Gas and water supply

Think about how they will be placed gas pipes in relation to furniture. The meter must be installed so that it is convenient to take readings from the device in time.

Now a little about water supply. What appliances in your future kitchen will have access to water? Surely you decide to add kitchen set dishwasher or washing machines. It is very important that these appliances are located next to the sink, so that the hoses do not have to be lengthened. Otherwise, the equipment will quickly become unusable, as the load on the pump will increase significantly (see Fig. No. 8).

5. Walls

Surely you yourself consider it right to align the walls before the direct installation of the kitchen. This one will really help to avoid many installation problems and firmly fix the upper modules on the walls. In the future, correctly placed furniture will not “lead”, there will be no gaps between the elements.

In addition, the walls must be strong enough and reliable, made of brick, concrete. In the case when the room is built of timber or using round logs, the walls should be lined with two or three gypsum fiber sheets (GVL), chipboard sheets or plywood with a thickness of more than 16 mm.

Concerning ceramic tiles, then you can veneer the wall both before buying and installing the kitchen, and after. However, it is best to do this after installing the kitchen set (see Fig. No. 9). This way you lay out the tiles more aesthetically and perfectly “fit” it to the furniture.

rice. 9

Experts also advise installing glass aprons after the kitchen itself. Otherwise (if the dimensions of the kitchen do not correspond to the dimensions stated in the drawings), you risk completely dismantling it, since the joining of the furniture elements and the apron will be inaccurate.

Thus, you see that when installing a new kitchen, you need to think through everything to the smallest detail! We hope that our recommendations will help you avoid unpleasant situations. Enjoy the shopping!

The first rule for assembling and installing a kitchen set is timeliness. You need to start assembling the kitchen only when all the work on finishing surfaces and wall cladding with wallpaper is completed, the installation process electrical wires and water supply and drainage pipes are completed, and the design is not threatened with big changes and reconstruction.

Installing a kitchen with your own hands is an interesting and exciting activity. But if experience is not enough, this article will tell you how to properly install the kitchen and, moreover, assemble it into a single composition!

Finished kitchen assembly process

It sometimes takes a lot of time to assemble a kitchen set with your own hands. This process is influenced by such a factor as the conscientiousness of the manufacturer. Sometimes the assembly instructions contain only general theses and do not take into account that such rules may not be suitable for mounting different parts.

Misplacement of factory holes is another problem related to the question of how to assemble a kitchen set. Assembly is complicated by the fact that cabinets are not always packed separately. Some manufacturers wrap each board in a package. There are times when some of the parts from the upper cabinets of the kitchen set fall into the box where the lower cabinets lie.

Some apartment owners tend to assemble a kitchen set with their own hands. Assembly requires a minimum number of tools, including construction standard set(hammer, tape measure, nail puller) and electrical appliances.

Reference. A puncher is needed to drill concrete wall. Among analogues, it is the most powerful device.

A hacksaw will be needed for cutting the countertop and further installation hob or sinks. Screwdriver can be quickly screwed a large number of fasteners into the facade, so the assembly process will accelerate. The next tool is a hexagon, it is better to purchase a whole set with flat and cross heads. For assembly, you may need screwdrivers of different diameters.

Assembling kitchen cabinets and cabinets

We start creating a kitchen composition with the assembly of cabinets and cabinets:

1. Using self-tapping screws, we fasten fasteners for one or two doors to the side walls (depending on the model).
2. We fix the skids for retractable modules in pre-prepared holes. It is better to do this at the very beginning of the process, later difficulties may arise.
3. If you notice non-through holes in the blanks, this is very good. Feel free to insert wooden dowels into them! They are responsible for a smooth frame and make the structure strong.
4. We connect the frame and tighten it with a hexagon and furniture screws. We close the hole in the screw with a decorative overlay to match the color of the headset.
5. We fasten the legs, while achieving a comfortable height.
6. After assembling the frame, we close the back wall with the help of small carnations with a sheet of fiberboard.
7. If the cabinet is hinged, we install mounting hardware on the back wall. For this, adjustable awnings are used. They are attached inside to the side walls of the cabinet close to the top corners.

Installation of doors and installation of handles on kitchen facades until we postpone.

Assembly of drawers

Having assembled the base of cabinets and cabinets, we proceed to the assembly of drawers:

1. The assembly principle resembles the operations just completed. We assemble the frame of the boxes from three components, insert wooden dowels that will tighten all sides. At the end, a hexagon is taken for work, which will tighten the structure with screws.
2. Insert into the groove of the box fiberboard sheet the right size - your drawer has a bottom!
3. We fix the facade with special ties.
4. Find guides with rollers in the kit - they must be screwed to the bottom of the sidewalls so that the rollers are at the back.
5. As soon as you install the handles on the kitchen fronts, you can try to insert the drawer into the cabinet by lifting it up a little. Thanks to the rollers, the drawers should slide easily along the guides.
6. Installation of closers on kitchen drawers is optional.

Kitchen installation sequence

It's time to learn how to install a kitchen. After assembling all cabinets and cabinets, we proceed to organize the kitchen, work surfaces and sink:

1. Find a sink cabinet. This side cabinet, as a rule, must be placed first. Don't forget to drill into the wall required holes for sewer communications.
2. Then the turn of all floor cabinets. We make their adjustment in height so that the working surface is perfectly flat.
3. Now you need to connect all the floor cabinets to each other. For this, a special furniture screed is used.

Tabletop fixing

When the headset has already acquired its shape in the lower part, we will complement it with a tabletop:

• we mark the canvas as required by the size of the kitchen, with the help of a jigsaw we cut off everything superfluous;
• do not worry if there is a gap between the canvas and the wall - it can be easily closed with a plinth;
• gap between two cabinets, for example, in corner kitchen, decorate with a metal bar, which is attached from the end of the countertop;
• in the place near the slab, it is also recommended to close the ends with a metal bar, and where the effect of heat is minimal, you can get by with an ordinary furniture edge;
• it is glued with a building hair dryer on a previously cleaned and leveled surface;
• treat the cracks accidentally formed during the assembly process with a moisture-resistant sealant - this way your kitchen will last much longer;
• the countertop is always installed not flush with the fronts of the cabinets, but with a small allowance in front, about 3 cm.

Washing installation

By the time the kitchen is installed, you should already have bought a new sink, if suddenly you decide to replace it too:

• mark the hole for the sink and cut it out with a jigsaw;
• when cutting, it is better to seek help from the household - the cut-out part will need to be held in order to avoid an accident;
• we fix the sink with special fasteners, which should be included;
• we treat the junction of the sink and the countertop with a sealant - this way you can prevent moisture from entering the gap.

Fixing wall cabinets

Fastening the kitchen to the wall begins with determining the height of the working area in the kitchen - it depends on the dimensions of the drawers and the level of the ceilings. The height of the kitchen from floor to top in the standard is 50-60 mm.

Advice. With a low growth of the hostess, and also if the upper cabinets of the headset open with closers upwards, it is better to install the upper shelves 45 cm from the level of the countertop, but no less.

There are two ways to hang kitchen drawers with your own hands.:

1. Using a mounting rail: one part of it is attached to the wall cabinet, and the second to the wall. This results in a hook-and-groove system that is easy to use and provides a secure fit. You can hang the cabinet in this way yourself.
2. The upper cabinets can be attached to the wall and by conventional fastening - on furniture hinges. In this case, there are no gaps between the wall and the back wall of the cabinet.

Work must be done together, since for one the structure will be too heavy. Since modern mounting strips are quite expensive, budget hinges are used in classic furniture sets.

Fastening sequence:

• mark the mounting line of the cabinets at a distance convenient for the hostess from the countertop;
• make holes and fasten the rail for adjustable hangers. It is more reliable to use fastening on anchors than on dowel-nails;
• hang the cabinet on the rail, hooking the hooks on it, adjust the two bolts on the hangers so that the cabinet hangs evenly;
• start installation from a corner, use a false panel to hide wall irregularities;
• after installation, if necessary, fasten the cabinets with ties.

Do not forget to make holes in the sides of the cabinets for pipe outlet if ventilation is to be installed.

How to hang a kitchen on drywall

You can not screw a self-tapping screw into a drywall base, sincerely believing that it will hold. Gypsum is a rather loose material, therefore, for installation on it kitchen furniture must be approached wisely.

Important! Never use nails or ordinary self-tapping screws to fasten furniture to drywall directly.

The space formed between the wall and the gypsum will not allow ordinary dowels to hold tight. But there is still a solution! Depending on the selected installation method, you may need different instruments and fixtures:

• screw-in dowels for drywall (for example, Driva);
• expanding anchors (for example, "Molly");
• dowel "umbrella";
• mortgage beam;
• special tire.

Explore possible options mounts to choose the most suitable one.

Dowel "butterfly"

The butterfly dowel is a fairly simple device., which is used to fasten cornices, skirting boards, brackets, wall cabinets or fixtures to a sheet of drywall.

It is a self-tapping screw, supplemented with a plastic element. which looks like butterfly wings. It is from this that the fastener got its name. When twisting the dowel, the “wings” straighten out and press tightly against rear surface drywall sheet. Due to this, the load on the sheet is distributed more evenly, which significantly reduces the risk of damage to the material during the process. installation work.

It is rarely used for mounting wall cabinets., however, if this happens, use metallic profile to add structural stiffness.

You can find where the profile passes with a magnet. They are led along the wall until a guide is found. So you can accurately determine the location of the profile and not miss when drilling a hole.

Metal dowel "Molly"

It resembles an umbrella in its principle of operation. Withstands significant loads - up to 35 kg. Step by step process installation next:

1. Under the diameter of the dowel (usually 8 mm), drilling is performed in the wall or ceiling.
2. The sleeve is inserted into the hole so that the teeth located on the cap cut into the surface - this will prevent the fastener from turning.
3. Screw in the screw until the drop-down triangles dig into the drywall from the back of the sheet, ensuring a secure fit.

Important!"Molly" cannot be dismantled: to extract it, you will have to break the wall.

The advantages of Molly dowels are obvious: due to the formation of a cone-shaped structure from the back of the gypsum board, they increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bsupport and prevent the sheet from breaking under load. The disadvantages include the high cost and the need for free space behind plasterboard.

Installation using metal anchors

Such anchors are most often used when you need to fix something to the ceiling., so they can handle an ordinary locker.

Special extended anchors are used to reach the load-bearing wall. They go through drywall and are attached to the main wall. This is reminiscent of mounting on ordinary dowels without the use of plasterboard. However, with this method, everything must be clearly calculated in advance so that along the way such anchors do not rest against the fastener used to create the frame for drywall.

Reference. The advantage of such anchors is the ability to use screws with different heads: it can be a regular clamping screw, and a hook, ring or other element is used instead of a standard head, which is best suited for mounting cabinets.

First, markings are made and holes of a given diameter are drilled.. Anchors can only be fixed in concrete or brick wall, the thickness of which should be 8 cm or more. The depth of the hole should be 5 cm. At this minimum depth, you need to drown the anchor in the main wall.

Before you hang the cabinet on a drywall wall, you need to properly install the anchor. Studs are inserted into the prepared holes so that the anchor enters first, and the nut remains outside. If it goes tight, then you can score with a hammer.

Anchor screw is screwed in with a wrench. We listen carefully: during such a clamp, the petals will open and rest against concrete or brick, this will be accompanied by a characteristic creak. Everything must be done carefully so as not to damage the drywall sheet. When the anchor is firmly fixed, you need to twist the nut.

Wall cabinets are hung on protruding studs followed by fixation.

Mortgage beam

Hanging kitchen cabinets using a mortgage beam is quite old technology . It is usually used in the kitchen when they know in advance exactly where the furniture will be placed. The beam is installed in a frame of metal profiles during its assembly, and is provided at the time of planning. The fact is that wooden beam it is best to drive into a profile and install them at the same time.

Reference. The width of the beam for greater reliability of installation should be within 8-10 cm.

This method is very reliable, because the bar is not only well fastened in the frame (by the profile itself, nails or self-tapping screws), but is also a reliable basis for fastening the cabinet.

Before you hang the cabinet on a drywall wall using a mortgage beam, you need to find it under a layer of fine finish. You can search for a horizontal profile with a magnet, but it is advisable to think it over even earlier. After assembling the frame, it is necessary to measure at what height from the floor (ceiling) the center of the beam is located. This data will then be used to quality installation.

There are several options for fastening to a wooden beam:

• we use ordinary wood screws to fix wall cabinets;
• we drill holes for dowels, on which we will then fix everything;
• We use special dowels with hooks for more convenient hanging.

remember, that you will need two such beams, since the cabinet is attached not only at the top, but also at the bottom. So more reliable. One mortgage is needed if hanging bookshelf or something similar.

Installing the mounting rail for the towing bracket

It is not always possible to think in advance where everything will be in the room before the event. repair work . Often the thought of hanging cabinets comes after the walls have been sheathed with drywall and a fine finish has been completed. So the question arises, how to hang a cabinet on drywall in such a situation.

You can use special dowels, but not everyone will be able to make the correct markup so that each fastener is in a clearly designated place. Then you need to use a horizontal tire. The essence of the method is simple: two tires are mounted on the wall, on which all the cabinets will then be hung.

The tire is a narrow metal profile of a special shape with multiple holes for screws. Through these holes and self-tapping screws, the tire is attached to the drywall. You can buy several of these two-meter profiles, which is quite enough for your goals.

Reference. In order to be able to fasten cabinets using this technology, they must be equipped with special brackets that can be hooked onto the tire.

The installation technology itself is quite simple.:

1. Marks are set at given heights from two edges of the wall. They will then join in horizontal lines.
2. Do not forget to double-check all the distances between the brackets and lines. The cabinet will be fastened with upper and lower brackets to two tires at once.
3. The level checks the horizontal lines.
4. The total width of all kitchen cabinets is measured, after which the tire is cut to a predetermined value. It may be necessary to use two or three tires in one row. It all depends on the selected furniture.
5. Tires are attached to drywall with self-tapping screws.
6. Now you can hang kitchen cabinets on drywall. The brackets have adjustment screws so that the cabinets can always be pulled up to the desired position.

Although everything is attached to simple self-tapping screws, there are a lot of them and the pressure is evenly distributed over the tire. Moreover, the locker will be kept on two tires at once.

How to make doors

And now, the assembly of the kitchen set is almost completed. It remains to hang the doors:

• fix the hinges with self-tapping screws into the prepared groove on the facade;

• fix the door on the cross-shaped plates that you screwed at the very beginning and tighten the bolts;
• if the position of the door is uneven, adjust it horizontally and vertically using the two bolts on the mechanism;
• the final stage is the installation of handles on the facades of the kitchen.

Skirting board installation

To provide an attractive appearance new kitchen , it is necessary to close the space between the new countertop and the wall.

Before deciding how to install the skirting board on kitchen worktop, you need to know that there are two mounting methods: on glue (you can use silicone or liquid nails) and using self-tapping screws.

Glue installation is easier and simpler, but has some disadvantages. The disadvantage of the method is that the plinth is attached tightly. Therefore, if in the future you want to remove it, the strips will most likely break when dismantled, and traces will remain at the attachment site, which will not be so easy to remove. In addition, when installing in this way, there will be no niche that allows you to hide electrical wires, because the plinth will fit snugly against the wall.

Reference. Usually, adhesive method installation is used for plastic, ceramic and stone products.

Installation on self-tapping screws is better to prefer if necessary quick and careful disassembly of the baguette.

On glue

Mounting the skirting board to the countertop is as follows:

1. The surface on which the baguette will be attached is thoroughly cleaned and degreased with an alcohol-containing agent.
2. On those parts of the plank that will be in contact with the wall and countertop, apply a layer of adhesive-sealant.
3. We apply the bar to the wall and countertop, carefully pressing and holding the time according to the instructions for the glue.
4. Installing the corner piece.
5. We cut off the decorative strip, taking into account the fact that it should go into the corner a little.
6. We bring the edge of the panel under the corner insert and snap it into the grooves along the entire length of the guide.
7. After installation decorative overlay install the end caps by inserting them into the mechanism.

With self-tapping screws

AT this case the installation process involves the use of a screwdriver. Most often, the plinth is attached to the countertop (if it is fixed to the apron, it can be deformed at the slightest displacement of the table).

To avoid installation difficulties, work must be done in the following order:

1. We measure the countertop and cut off a piece of baguette of the appropriate length using a hacksaw with fine teeth. We clean the cut edges with an abrasive.
2. The place where the plinth will be located is treated with silicone for better sealing and preventing moisture ingress.
3. We attach the base part (profile) to the installation site.
4. Using a screwdriver, we screw the screws into the bar and the countertop at a distance of about 30 cm.
5. We install the front cover, inserting its base groove until it clicks.
6. We close the corners with corner plates, and we attach end caps to the edges of the baguette.
7. We process the joints of the connecting elements with silicone sealant.

Hidden wiring can be embedded inside the skirting board.

Conclusion

Having figured out how to properly install the kitchen, you can save a lot on the services of assemblers, and most importantly, do everything carefully without damaging walls and coatings. When the work is completed, all you have to do is bring in the refrigerator, and fill the furniture set itself kitchen utensils. Now you know about assembling a kitchen as much as seasoned professionals!

Installing a kitchen is doable home master, if you follow the instructions and the rule "Measure seven times". No special skills are required: only accuracy at each stage of work.

Assembling and installing a kitchen is a responsible, painstaking process, but not particularly complicated. The main thing here is to carefully prepare everything: think over the layout, bring communications and complete repairs. When the field for activity is ready, you can proceed directly to the installation. The work is carried out sequentially: first, the bottom row of cabinets is assembled, after it - the top one. And we will tell you how to act at each stage.

Installation of floor cabinets

If the headset was delivered to you disassembled, the modules will be easy to mount on your own according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually in the package). Before installing the kitchen, prepare the following tools:

• screwdriver (screwdriver);
• drill and perforator;
• jigsaw;
• wrenches and imbus keys;
• carpenter's level and square;
• pliers;
• clamps;
• a hammer.

After assembly, it is better to measure the main dimensions of the finished module, since they may differ slightly from those declared. If everything is in order, and the bottom row of furniture is in size, it's time to put the cabinets in their places. At this stage, the horizontality of the upper edges and the correctness of the line of cabinets are checked, the modules are adjusted in height with the help of unscrewing legs. It is better that they are 5 cm longer than the plinth - it is easier to keep the kitchen clean, and the space under the cabinets will be well ventilated.

Work starts from the corner, and if the sink will be located here, the corner cabinet must first be marked for the pipe outlet. After checking, cuts are made in the walls of the case for communications and only then they put the cabinet in its rightful place. Now you can hang facades on it and proceed to install the next table.

When assembling furniture cabinets in one row, check if adjacent doors prevent each other from opening. If the fronts cling, their position must be adjusted using the hinged screws.

As soon as the installation of the kitchen along the bottom row is completed, the cabinets are rigidly tied. To do this, through pieces of hardboard, the walls of adjacent cabinets are attracted by clamps and fastened with self-tapping screws or special furniture ties. In the buildings, elements of storage systems are installed and facades are hung. The heads of the screws that are in plain sight are closed with decorative plugs to match the color of the walls.

Wall cabinets

The top row of modules should be located 45-60 cm above the countertop - a more accurate distance will determine the height of the hostess and the height of the wall cabinets themselves. Having made a mark on the wall, you need to draw a horizontal line, which will mark the border of the hinged row, it is also worth noting the upper level, since it is more convenient to focus on it. Installation, as in the case of the lower cabinets, begins with the assembly and placement of the corner module.

Two possible ways we will consider the installation a little lower, but for now we will tell you what else will need to be done when all the boxes are. Here again, clamps and ties will be needed in order to assemble individual cabinets into a single structure, but this will have to be done already on the top covers, knocking them together with overhead "patches" from pieces of fiberboard. Some sets may also come with a decorative cornice. As a rule, it is planted on furniture nails, but for reliability it is also worth using glue.

Mounting on furniture hinges

Cabinets can be hung from hooks in the wall or driven anchors. To do this, furniture hinges are screwed to the back of each case. Here it is important to accurately measure the height of the fasteners and correctly markup, constantly checking it with a level. Simple slats do not leave the possibility of adjusting the position of the cabinets, and an error of even half a centimeter will be noticeable.

You should not immediately beat all the holes for the anchor in the wall - each of them will have to be additionally checked by hanging the cabinet and setting it in level. The process is long, and its only plus is the minimum cost of fasteners. However, the load on all muscle groups during work is also provided to you.

Rail mounting

Much simpler and more reliable is another way - using a special tire (profile mounting plate) and hinges. The first is a metal rail with a slide and holes for wall mounting. It is mounted horizontally, lowering 3-4 cm below the upper mark for installing cabinets. The hinges are equipped with complex hooks and are mounted on inside side walls of the body. And the hooks themselves are inserted into the grooves of the mounting plate, for which small holes will have to be cut in the back of each module directly in the hardboard.

This method of fastening allows you to install cabinets with high precision and without any extra effort. Minor flaws made during marking or installation are easily eliminated by adjusting the screws in the corresponding hitch. Also, technological fasteners will help to adjust the distance between the cabinet and the wall, for example, if the top row of furniture overlaps a thick ceramic or panel apron.

Internal shelves, drawers and other storage systems are installed last, when the headset finally takes its place.

Table top installation

Often, floor modules of kitchen furniture come with their own worktop. In this case, they are simply combined into one with the help of corner profiles. But first, it does not hurt to additionally treat the edges of the plates with sealant, and close the ends adjacent to the sink or stove with metal strips. So you will save chipboard from damage and swelling.

If you need a solid surface, then before you install the kitchen, consider the position of the main work areas: sinks, stoves and. The tabletop itself will first have to be cut to the right sizes and prepare the mounting holes for the sink and built-in stove. The depth of the countertop can fully correspond to the dimensions of the floor cabinets, but more often they leave a margin of 1-2 cm to make a small visor.

The finished plate is marked for built-in appliances, the holes are cut with an electric jigsaw (if it is chipboard). At the end of the work, all sections must be cleaned of dust, thoroughly lubricated with sealant and closed edging tape or a special profile, screwing it with self-tapping screws.

Sink installation procedure:

1. Turn the sink upside down and lay it on the countertop, trace around the contour with a marker.
2. Cut and finish the hole as described above.
3. Install fasteners into the eyes on the body of the sink itself - with its help it will be fixed on the countertop plate. At the same stage, it is better to immediately put a siphon.
4. Turn the sink over working position, lower into the prepared cutout and fix from below with self-tapping screws.

The tabletop is attached to the cabinets on furniture dowels. To do this, recesses are drilled on the lower plane of the plate and reciprocal - at the ends of the cases. Mounting through metal corners is also allowed. In some cases it may be necessary additional installation brackets that will transfer the weight of the tabletop and the equipment placed on it to bearing walls. And after connecting the built-in appliances, the gap behind the work surface is closed with a decorative plinth made of a suitable material.

Quality furniture is easy to assemble, as it does not require any fitting. If this is done for the first time, then in case of incomprehensible questions, you can always look at the instructions.

Assembly from finished parts- this is a pretty decent savings, and the money saved can be spent more rationally. The same can be said about installing a kitchen with your own hands.

We will figure out how to hang kitchen cabinets on the wall so that everything looks beautiful, everything opens and closes well, and it is convenient to use your kitchen.

Before taking on such a responsible task as hanging cabinets, you need to determine the height of the hinge. This is an important factor on which comfort depends. headset operation and aesthetics too.

Correct linkage height:

• Bottom trim upper cabinets should be on average at a distance of 0.55 - 0.6 meters from the surface of the countertop.
• It is necessary to take into account the growth of the owners of the kitchen.
• Too low a hitch can make it difficult to comfortably operate kitchen appliances on the countertop.

However, sometimes cabinets have to be hung on not really comfortable height - higher than necessary - due to the fact that if you hang it lower, then the design of the kitchen will suffer significantly, since it is necessary to mount wall cabinets above the refrigerator, install high pencil cases, etc.

There are many fasteners, and each of them is applicable, even, it would seem, the most outdated. Their main function is to securely hold the cabinet.

When the cabinets are fastened with screws or hooks, and the wall is kitchen apron from tiles, then better cabinets hang on wooden lath, the thickness of which must correspond to the thickness of the tile along with a layer of tile adhesive - then the top elements will hang parallel to the wall.

When the mount is selected, the cabinets are assembled, the hinge remains. If the walls are too uneven, like the corners, then you should think about the proper preparation of the walls.

What do you need:

• Putty or plaster.
• Required tool.
• Complete the installation of sockets, lamps.
• Paste wallpaper.

Proper installation of upper cabinets, first of all, involves at least the correct layout. The comfort of operation and the correct design will depend on this.

Markup:

If there are wall cabinets, then you need to start with them.

Often the owners of the apartment have to decide the question: how to hang the kitchen on drywall.

As you know, such material is not durable, but we need guarantees of high-quality installation - who wants to see any cabinet ever collapse to the floor?

The problem is still doable.

Mounting methods:

Hanging on foam blocks

The foam block, although not drywall, is still not a durable material: it crumbles easily, when drilling, the hole often breaks even from the slightest beat of the drill cartridge. Therefore, everything must be provided for reliable fastening.

1. Long dowels.

Installing a kitchen set is not an easy task, but you can do it yourself

When purchasing headsets, ask the manufacturer or retailer for instructions on how to mount certain items. If there are, then the assembly process will not bring labor and will not take much time.

You will not always find descriptions for the assembly of certain furniture, articles and videos from the Internet will only mislead, because the masters show their individual technique, which will seem incomprehensible to a beginner in this field. In this article, we will reveal the universal and simple rules assembly of kitchen furniture, we will tell about the main nuances during assembly and installation, we will advise how to avoid common mistakes.

What to do first

The key to a successful business is proper preparation. You start it during the alignment of the walls and floor, as well as the final finish. Before installing furniture, finish electric installation work in the right places, test them for functionality to troubleshoot before installation work. Check ventilation and drainage device. Take out construction debris.

No matter how many times you measured the room before, do it again after the repair is completed. In the store, ask again to calculate the dimensions of the headsets. If the brought headset does not “fit” into the room in terms of parameters, then the supplier will not change. Check if there are enough parts for assembly, if something is missing, then contact the seller.

The kitchen set in the assembled state can be different from the picture, if you yourself do not know how to assemble, then invite the master

Remember that the file is designed to trim the countertop. Other parts must not be filed! This is your mistake or a factory defect!

Place the tabletop on top. If it consists of separate blocks, then use special connections.

Laying countertops requires painstaking work

The sliding cabinet provides the following assembly method. You mount the drawers themselves earlier (connect the side parts, fasten the bottom with a stapler and handles to the facade). Then mark the side walls of the cabinet for the installation of metal guides, fasten the sliding elements.

Installation of tops is more difficult than the previous stage of work. It is very important beforehand on which you will mount the headset, because the convenience of working in the kitchen depends on it. GOST provides standard height 50-60 centimeters.

The first step is to fix the mounting rails, it comes with the headset or is purchased separately. The first module of the device is attached to the cabinet, the second - to the wall. Before this, marking is done, make sure that the wall is even. It will come to the rescue building level. The "hitch-bar" technique significantly increases the accuracy and speed of work, because you do not have to constantly hold it. Modern hinges have adjusting screws for adjusting the position of the headsets in the forward-backward and up-down directions. That's why uneven surface space is no longer a problem!

Assemble the wall cabinet by analogy, as well as the floor cabinet: mount the “box”, connect it to the bottom and top. A special process is the installation of facades. For mobility of the door, use special fasteners. Every detail should be in its place, do not allow them to shift and bevel.
