Setting the kitchen with his hands: how to assemble kitchen

Kitchen wall - a universal set of devices for processing and cooking food. When external functional differences between the different models is reduced to the mandatory presence of two tiers of lockers, a cutting surface of the hob and washing. To install the kitchen wall made to invite artists, but even the manufacturers have provided options for self-assembly. The easiest way to collect line options, as well as to plan the space in them. However, difficulties will occur at each stage of the work, whoever collected the wall - the owner or repairman. It concerns of communications planning section under the built-in appliances. The entire process consists of many stages, doing that, it is important not to disturb the exact sequence of actions. In general, the assembly and installation of the kitchen is linked with the work of sawing and fastening parts.

Features self-assembly and installation

build rules headset depend on its configuration. If it is a corner, the process begins with the angle. Linear option to collect with that section, which abuts the wall. Built better to gather together. It is not recommended to install all the elements at once. In the intervals between the assembly must be installed ready-made modules. This measure prevents excessive filling of the space. Between the wall and the worktop it is customary to leave half a centimeter distance.

Guides for drawers fixed to the inner surfaces of the sidewalls to the module assembly. Upper elements should not be set since the doors, as they will interfere. Installation kitchen wall 2 may be performed by algorithms. Some experts argue that it is more convenient to fix the top row first, while others believe that it would be difficult to calculate the necessary distance.

Recommended mounting distance:

• the minimum height above the bottom of the shelves - 45 cm;
• Optimal - 90 cm;
• Maximum - 105 cm.

assembly steps of kitchen units

We should point out the main steps:

1. Preparation tools.
2. Assembly pedestals and cabinets.
3. Installation on the wall of the bottom row.
4. Installing countertop, sink and hob.
5. Fixing hanging lockers.
6. Installing the doors and baseboards and decorative elements.
7. The organization of local lighting.

Installation kitchen wall - a process with a lot of manipulation. The assembly looks quite monotonous, but at this point it is necessary to take into account a lot of nuances. Chief among them - the size of the sections and their purpose, which mutually affect each other, as well as the type of opening. By the end of the module assembly begins installation place. If the professional skills of collecting not, it is best to put the bottom row. The doors can be mounted immediately after installation or attachment tier. The top row is fixed or a rail (bus) or a loop.

The first method can be described as simple. The second allows you to save. It is important to choose the right location of the height of wall cabinets, and to take informed decisions regarding the installation of communications and kitchen appliances - it depends on comfort and efficiency in the kitchen.

Materials and tools

You need a lot of tools ranging from power tools and ending with fasteners. Firstly, this hammer drill bits with 6 and 8 mm, screwdriver, drill, as well as an adapter and drills for her. To work with top will need a hacksaw or jigsaw. Should get a hex wrench, pliers, hammer, tape measure, level and square.

You need to prepare a large number of fasteners. Anchor bolts, dowels and corners is usually included in the box. You need to buy screws, namely 70 mm for wall cabinets and 15-16 mm for fittings. Other items you want to buy: tie for fastening the modules, silicone sealant, mounting rack for hanging, evrovinty (SCREW), furniture nails. It is recommended to purchase a template for dowels.

Assembling the floor pedestals and wall cabinets

Assembly kitchen furniture is better to start with the lower tier. First konfirmat fastening the bottom to the side surfaces. Next, put the top plate. Diagonal lockers checked tape. Normal mismatch indicator - 3 mm. If everything is OK, then we proceed to the next step. Relatively thin rear wall is attached with small nails or staple gun. Step between them do not exceed 1 cm. On the lower part of the leg mount cabinets, fixing screws. In advance the knockout holes set loop. These and secure the bottom section. Left align the door handle and install.

Then comes the turn of the upper row of furniture. Mounted it in this way, but there are some differences. In the upper corners of the need to control awnings. For them envisage cuts back. Installing drawers is not produced in the upper cabinets.

Cusp cabinet with drawers

The walls are going as well as cabinets with shelves - are held together with screws. Three surfaces are collected and placed in the bottom sheet of fiberboard. Then facade box attached - using tie-cam. To fix the latter is necessary to tighten the screw in the front surface, and then the side with a cap inserted into a hole in the side wall. On the side members has a large opening for the hub. You need to insert it and turn to grab the hat of the screw. It will go from the side.

Then, at the bottom of tables bolted roller guides. The roller on the rail box must be placed behind and on the corresponding tables - from the front. To complete the assembly will need to insert the rails into each other - this is done at an angle. With self-assembly of the combined cabinet first task is to correct the installation guide.

How to collect cabinets for built-in appliances

Installation of built-in appliances causes some difficulties, but it is now more urgent. To perform the tasks necessary to install match dimensions. This is possible thanks to standardization. In addition, the section under such appliances is not necessary to equip the doors. Must be free of protrusions curvature or inaccurate assembly.

Niche size oven is provided embedded on the front side 60 × 60 cm. The sectional ovens have parameters 59.4 or 59.4 × 59.5 × 59.5 cm. On the gap left 0.5-0.6 cm. The minimum depth of the furniture should be 55 cm. To embed a microwave oven works on the same principle but with different parameters. Standard niche width, however, is the same 60 cm. The height of the section should be selected on the level of 380-382 mm and below, depending on the model. The optimum depth - 320 mm. Still it is necessary to use the individual scheme for embedding, which is available with the kit.

Installing the lower tier headset

For easy calculation of the distances you must first install the lower cabinets. Works are necessary to lead off the corner of the room. If you plan to take a lower tier place the entire length of the wall, you should start from the one side surface, which is shorter. Legs / wheels bollards should be adjustable. If the installation is carried out on a kitchen wall with an uneven floor surface, with adjustable legs need within 12-17 centimeters. On the wall is required to draw the markup. Install recommended height so that there is clearance of at least 10 cm between the cap and the floor. The gaps between the individual elements of furniture made minimal.

All cabinets are installed and are height adjustable. Nearby tables pulled together and clamp Furniture screed. In the bottom row will need to make notches and holes for gas and sewer pipes, electrical wires.

Other details:

1. On small kitchens justified the creation of drawers instead of caps.
2. For correct installation of cabinets countertops plane level should be checked.

Securing worktops

After installing bollards lower the turn table tops. The first step is to cut a hole in it to sink. To do this, you must place the table top as well as it will appear after the installation. Place stands under the sink with a pencil. Along this line, it is necessary to work jigsaw. The sections were treated with sealant. Typically, countertop still needed and openings for communication (pipes, hoses) and the cooking surface. After passing the related milestones can be attached cover.

One method - with the help of furniture corners on the walls of pedestals. The table top is then leveled. If the cover consists of several parts, the fixing therebetween is formed by metal straps. First, they are cut off with a hacksaw on the cover width. Then, one of the surfaces of the first strap lubricated sealant. she screws attached to the shear countertops. Then lubricate the back side and is fixed to the other part of the cover. When the countertop is ready, it is set: the screws are screwed into the seating area.

Installing the washing

You first need to choose the best option sink and faucet. The most convenient aspect ratio is considered a deep cleaning and relatively low tap - then spray will be a little. Among the materials perform often preferred stainless or enameled steel. Only after taking into account the nuances of the data can be taken for the installation.

For installation required attachment (usually included), jig saw, screwdriver, screws and sealant for processing shell seats. During the first work carried out communication and connects the mixer. For fixing washing must be 4-5, L-shaped elements. They are applied to the inside of the cabinets. Then, make notes on them and bolted screws. Higher marks should be at least 5 mm. Further, the cutout is covered with a sealant that will keep the shell and protect furniture. Thereafter sink is installed on the screws and moves to the ideal fixation. At the end of the part fixed.

Installing the hob

The most important milestone is the markup. First, on a countertop transferred internal border stone under the hob. Then, at the expense of laying the diagonals is the center. It will help to make more accurate calculations. Deposited on the surface of the cooking parameters crashed with a small margin to center. Then a drill hole to be drilled for sawing work (jigsaw). Cut should be on the stand.

When ready opening, comes waterproofing queue. Immediately before installation, made a few more steps. First, the panel joins the gas hose. Then use sealing tape. It is glued in one piece. Two free ends are joined tightly as possible. Then set the cooking surface itself. It is centered just to lie symmetrically as possible. Thereafter, the cabinet need to attach plates in all four corners to the cooking plate fits snugly against the surface.

Methods for mounting attachments tier headset

Two main methods of fixing - in the furniture hinges and on the bus (mounting plate). During installation, the "second floor" kitchen wall most important issue is the height of the hanging sections. The decision is taken, starting from indicators such as ceiling height and dimensions of the cabinets. Between the top and bottom of the upper tier generally 50-60 cm enough space. However, the importance and growth of the family. If the hostess low, then 45 cm below the upper cabinet - optimal option. Making the gap even less is not recommended.

Set boxes permissible error of 10 mm, provided that uses a special rack. If the installation is on a plaster wall, you need to use dowels butterfly. You can also install beams under the GCR list in the attachment box. If the kitchen wall has an angular shape, installation make first on one wall and then another.

When attaching the upper tiers must be observed 3 mm gap around the perimeter.

Mounting the tire

Attach section of the bus much easier. When this method is applied mounting plate fixation. One part is fixed on the wall, and the other - to the hinged boxes. The basis of fixing the system is "hook-and-groove" that provides a secure fit. For mounting the cabinet in this way the work of one person is enough. Rack mounted on the horizontal mark on the wall. After that, you can do the assembly on the floor of the housing. Instead of loops, are attached to the furniture hinge. In the process you will need to make a small hole in the back surface of the fixing hooks. Treated sections by this method can be directly mounted on the mounting rail. The position of the body is regulated by special screws to the body of batches of themselves. They make it possible to move the modular design right, left, and a few millimeters from the supporting wall, if there is already below a thick kitchen apron.

Mounting on furniture hinges

More usual method of installation is fixed on the furniture hinge: after attaching should not remain between the lumen wall and the rear wall of the furniture. This method of fixing is better to use only after the installation of the lower tier lockers. In the process it will be necessary to draw on the wall of the vertical parameters of the modules, using the level. One of the cabinets must be applied to the wall at a certain height to mark the point of suspension through the eye.

Next, using the level of this place being a line around the perimeter of the placements of elements set. Roulette is a gap between the center of suspension. The result is transferred to the wall horizontally between two vertical lines of the lower module parameters. In these locations are drilled holes, hammered dowels and screws are screwed. The modules are attached to them, and then left to equip their shelves and bolted the door. These activities require the participation of two people, because one can not cope with the mass of the structure.

Due to the high price of modern fastening rails, ready to loop used in many furniture sets.

Mounting doors

At the beginning of the inner walls of the modules are screwed cruciform plate. After mounting the sections on the wall and install them in the shelves you can do mount doors. The circular recesses on the door hinges are invested. They are fixed with screws. Then, each door is put to the cabinet, so that the attachment got on the cruciform parts. The loops are connected to these parts, twisted bolts. The door must be closed to check the position. If it is "decimated" up or, more often, down - need to control with 2 screws on the connection. In order to initially secure all right, it is recommended to keep the door firmly with one hand and tighten the second fixing element appliance. The procedure is repeated with the other modules. Beyond the usual loose loops, you can use some other species:

• overhead;
• polunakladnye.

installation of plinths

After the installation of the headset remain gap between it and the wall surfaces. Void must be closed against ingress of water and food fragments. Clearance around countertop is sealed with a thin plastic moldings. Its lower part is attached with screws to the wall, on top of the decorative element is superimposed (plinth itself). The design of the guide have a groove into which the upper must extend element latching, in the lock. At the end of the plinth are the seals. They are easy to cut for installation of additional elements. These ends are decorated with furniture using caps and corners. These devices are designed to protect against the accumulation of dirt and crumbs. The whole structure - an excellent sealant, it can be fastened even to irregular walls. Inside the plinth can be installed hidden wiring.

backlight headset

In the kitchen there are two basic ways of lighting, in addition to the central. It spotlights and tape up to several meters in length. A first embodiment involves the installation on the top of the headset. Spot lights worked well, but the installation of tapes directly on the apron of the working surface improves illumination many times.

Modern furniture sets equipped and internal illumination. The right thing in this case are much faster. A good option for arrangement of kitchen units - LED backlight. She is able to work for more than ten years when used for 15 hours a day. LED strip may have a different angle of radiation, which is very convenient for the kitchen. In addition, LED lighting is relatively inexpensive. When placing lighting should carefully plan everything, or to repair or replace parts of the headset may be required.

Cusp corner Headset

To assemble the angular housing space in the kitchen should be possible to release. Feature angular configuration is displayed on the fact that inexpensive headset for cost reduction are made with a composite bottom. In the package area by washing the back surface is practically no. At the same time there are ties for giving structure rigidity. When assembling the panel, which is the basis of the angular zone for cooking, screwed parts sheds. On the side surfaces of the self-tapping screws are mounted slide. The "factory" is inserted dowel holes. They should be lubricated with joiner's glue for durability.

taken first floor and after mounting the module with the correct assembly supports it connects to the side walls. Corner worktop may consist of several parts. In the joints they are protected by a metal profile. The important point is the choice of the place under the sink. In this configuration, it is not desirable to do in the corner, there is better to arrange a section for the bin.

Errors and problems that should be taken into account when setting

One of the mistakes - starting with the assembly of large components. Beginners should be installed in the first place small items and then move on to larger ones. It happens that the owner incorrectly calculates the height of countertops, forgetting the adjustment feet and the floor covering and worktop rests on the window sill. If this happens, part of it can be cut. It also happens that the tool used to build the MDF elements. This is unnecessary, because the fasteners are easily screwed into sheets with a screwdriver.

Sometimes there are problems with the room surfaces. Fragile plasterboard wall may be partially removed and strengthen the beam. Uneven floor can also lead to difficulties, primarily in the calculations countertop height and distance from the top row, and also to create irregularities. It solved the problem with the adjustable legs. Other important aspects:

1. There should be access to the gas pipe, in which case to cut off the gas, and the counters for monitoring the indicators.
2. Often owners do not attach importance to the reliability of fastening the rear wall. If it will fall behind the headset, it will bring a lot of inconvenience, and to correct such a defect is very difficult.

conclusion

Collect the kitchen furniture you need to slowly and steadily. We can not allow even the minimum of errors: in the kitchen connected to a lot of communication, so the inaccuracy can cost spoiled furniture. A lot invested in the modern kitchen contains a sink, hob, oven, dishwasher, at least - is also a washing machine. All this affects the calculations when planning space.

The assembly begins with the most important stage - labeling. They need to do on the walls, and when the need - on the furniture inside it. Then gather all the tables, including under the drawers and built-in appliances. After that, the bottom row of kitchen units put to the wall. Next to it is installed countertop with holes for the sink and hob. They are installed after the cover. Then set hinged tier. The next step is to mount the doors and baseboards, and in the end you must take the headset lights.
