1. Size
Kitchen cabinets are generally divided into floor cabinets and hanging cabinets. The height of household kitchen cabinets is usually 80-85 cm, which is also designed according to the height of the Chinese per capita. It is recommended to set the sink 5 cm below the elbow, the height of the operating table 15 cm below the elbow, and the height of the furnace 25 cm below the elbow.
When installing and placing the floor cabinet, the unevenness of the wall surface should be considered. The distance between the floor cabinet and the wall should be about 5cm to 6cm.
The height of the hanging cabinet depends on the ceiling height of the kitchen, usually between 65 cm and 90 cm. If the ceiling of the kitchen is higher than 2.3 meters, the height of the hanging cabinet can be selected as 91 cm.
The range hood is an indispensable part of the kitchen, so special attention should be paid during the installation process. Installing too high may cause some oily smoke to be lost, and the high and low levels are not conducive to daily cooking. The suspension distance of the standard range hood should be 52 cm/62 cm from the floor cabinet (not including the table top).
2. Material
There are many choices of kitchen cabinet materials, and each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Stainless steel material is waterproof, insect proof, high temperature resistant and environmentally friendly. It can be reused and the service life is about 20 years. However, the technical requirements in production are strict.
Wooden kitchen cabinets are mainly used for country style and Japanese home decoration, which are beautiful overall and have good visual effects. The disadvantage is that it is easy to mold and rot, and the service life is not long.
The kitchen cabinet made of fireproof board is resistant to high temperature, easy to clean, moisture-proof, and not easy to fade. The disadvantage is that it is impossible to produce three-dimensional effects like bumps and metals.
The most mature cabinet material in the blister board cabinet is scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, fade-resistant, easy to clean, and popular in the market.
