Metal cabinets are one of the oldest types of cabinets whose simple designs can be seen with a variety of colored sheets in all old houses in Iran. But now these cabinets are also used in some modern designs . Well , the metal cabinet is the right price and the length of it . In addition, compared to some cabinet raw materials such as MDF, it is more resistant to impact and humidity, so it is still taught in the field of cabinet making of metal cabinets.
The length unit is used to calculate the dimensions of the ground and wall cabinets . Per meter of wall, 60% of it is related to ground cabinets and 40% is related to wall cabinets that make up a cabinet set . In spaces where the dimensions of cabinets are outside the standard size, based on the amount of added depth or height, a coefficient is given to the calculated number that exists in the standard cabinet-making tables. For this reason, sometimes the dimensions of the metal required and the color sheet that the performer uses are different from what you have calculated.
Usually, for ground cabinets, a depth of 55 cm and a height of 72 cm are considered. Of course, by calculating the base and face, the final height of the cabinet is 90 cm.
The depth of the standard wall cabinets is 30 cm and its height is equal to 75 cm .
First , we measure the size of the cabinet first from the beginning of the place where the cabinet is to be installed . Note that if there is an L-shaped part in the cabinet installation space, it should be measured on both sides. So that the L-shaped part is calculated twice. The parts that must be placed among the cabinets are laundry, dishwashing or gas, calculated and reduced from the measured length . All these steps for cabinet cabinet must also be repeated .
1.Three drawers must be installed for each kitchen unit without receiving additional wages
2.The wage of installing handles is one percent of the wage of installing each cabinet meter
3.Regular hinges should be used to install cabinets
4.On the kitchen cabinet, a standard 3 cm corporate plate should be used. In fact, it should be machine-generated and not handmade so that it doesn't have inconsistencies
Making metal cabinets with a variety of colored sheets, like any other product, has its own steps . If you go according to these steps after calculating the dimensions of the cabinets described in the previous section, you will surely be able to do so well. Otherwise , the error probability increases . The steps for making a metal cabinet with colored cards are :
The initial plan should be done by consulting and talking to the client . In fact, you need to talk to the customer about what spaces he needs, where he likes to put things, what color of the colored sheet they want, and things like that. This will give you better ideas for initial projection . The initial plan is very important , and if you don 't talk about it with the client , it may be a waste of time and all your money is wasted .
In previous sections, we generally explained how to measure and calculate the required cabinets; But after initial planning to ensure more once again , you need to accurately measure the consumption of the cabinet required .
1.In order to consider the location of the stove, the type of stove must be specified, i.e. plate or normal of the stove. If the stove is plated, it should not be reduced from the length of the cabinet, because underneath it we also want cabinets, but in case of normality, it should be reduced. Usually, 90 cm is a good space for a conventional stove, plus in conventional gases, the required accessories such as gas pipe branching, electricity and hood ducts should be considered.
2.Hood type in the cabinet is affected by the need . Some of the hoods themselves have a base and there is no need to install cabinets on top of it, but in ordinary hoods it is generally installed for the top of the cabinet hood . Usually, for the hood, 60 to 90 cm of space is considered, which still depends on the size of the hood.
3.In order to consider the required space of the sink, we also need to pay attention to accessories such as water pipe divergence and its size, which we need between 60 and 120 cm of space.
After accurate measurements and specifying the size of the required cabinets, you can draw the original design by hand or using the software in this field. Usually software such as Dmax, Catia3 and ... Used to design metal cabinets and other cabinets . You should pay attention to different parameters such as kitchen color , light , curtains , table , chairs , flowers , etc . Also, in the design, the outline which is in the form of hallway, L, you or V and the color of the desired colored sheet should be specified. The design of cabinets should be in such a way that the cabinets are fitted together enough together . There is enough space for all devices , and besides , it has a beautiful look . It should also be such that access to sinks, refrigerators and ovens is comfortable . The best case is that the space of these three devices is embedded in a triangle, each of which is located on a triangle. In addition, consider the flaws and disadvantages that were created during the kitchen construction when designing. You have to design to make these things fade as much as possible.
Metal cabinets, unlike MDF cabinets that have a variety of coatings, do not vary greatly, but the quality of the colored sheet and metal desired for the construction of cabinets is different . In addition, you should choose the right color for the cabinets according to the kitchen model, light, flooring and customer's taste.
To cut, you need to cut the same parts, such as walls or floors together. To more accurately measure the incisions, you should pay attention to the following :
1.Consider 60 widths, 56 depths and 72 heights for round lip plates
2.For wall cabinets, also consider cuttings with depths of 30 to 35 for floors and vaults and 70 to 90 cm for walls
Cutting doors, open facades and interior floors in cabinets with other materials is done after installing cabinets, but in metal cabinets they can be done all at the same time . Cutting is done in two stages, the first step consists of cutting large sheets, which is also called crushing, and in the next step we cut the exact dimensions.
In these stages, the points needed to screw and connect connections, drawers rails and the like should be done accurately .
After cutting the required cutting, the cut pieces must be attached. In metal cabinets, they usually connect the floors and ceilings by welding the bodies . Although the process of making metal cabinets was done in 8 stages, these were only theoretical training, which means you need experimental skills to do each step that you need to achieve by working and practicing. but skill without a plan won't be enough .
