Many people spend their free time in their own house or apartment. But apart from nighttime sleep and rest, most of this time is spent in the kitchen. Food is prepared and eaten there, family and friends get together, and sometimes important work is done. Therefore, the pleasant atmosphere that prevails in the kitchen will only favor a comfortable pastime. And the main part of this environment is a convenient, practical, safe and simply beautiful kitchen set.
Choice of cuisine
Choosing a kitchen set that meets all the needs of its future owners is not an easy task. Firstly, because there is a sufficient variety of materials used to make the frame of the headset.And which one is better is a rather sensitive question! And secondly, the price range for modern kitchen sets is so wide that sometimes it becomes unclear where furniture manufacturers get such prices from?!
The price range for only the frame of a kitchen set starts from 30,000 rubles. And the price of a full-fledged set, excluding kitchen equipment, can be more than 100,000 rubles! No matter how much you want to make the perfect “picture” out of the kitchen, you still have to reckon with the budget. And, as a rule, it allows you to purchase only a budget model of a kitchen set.
We select a model of an inexpensive kitchen
Among the inexpensive frames of a kitchen set, you can also get lost, as well as in the prices of more expensive models. And all because a variety of composite materials are involved in furniture production, as well as a variety of methods for their coupling and installation on a work surface. The most requested materials are:
- Chipboard (chipboard);
- MDF (wood fiber board);
- direct wood panels.
Chipboard is the cheapest material. Its negative side lies in its low strength (after all, it is made by pressing the smallest wood shavings). And positive - in its moisture resistance (if the plate is covered with a special water-repellent layer or laminated). MDF production technology resembles chipboard production technology, however, such boards will be stronger and more durable than chipboard boards. Therefore, it is customary to make doors on the facades of kitchen sets from this material.
The wooden material of the kitchen frame will require the greatest cost. But the price again will vary depending on the type of wood used.Many manufacturers of kitchen sets allow the customer to independently select and combine the material. Therefore, you can order or find on sale options with a combination of wood and chipboard, chipboard and MDF, as well as wood and metal.
Frame assembly systems
The process does not stop at the choice of materials for the future kitchen. An equally important choice is to select the best frame assembly system, which will be responsible for the durability of the entire headset. Today, the most popular build systems are:
- confirmation;
- eccentric;
- adhesive dowel.
These systems assume a fairly good service life of the kitchen set (in the range of 7 - 10 years). Standard assembly and fastening methods based on the use of screws and metal corners are categorically not suitable for assembling kitchen sets!
Choice of work surface
If you can try to save on the main materials of the headset, without compromising the service life, then you can’t save on the working surface! After all, she will experience the maximum load all the time: contact with water, sharp objects and hot dishes. Therefore, the best choice for such a surface is natural or artificial stone. Choosing an inexpensive but high-quality headset is not an easy task. But it can still be successfully solved if all the above recommendations are taken into account.
