How to customize furniture cabinets better
Sep 20,2022 Topmax Furniture
As a storage design for home storage, the cabinet is a large piece of furniture that every household must choose in modern home decoration. The cabinet is also a relatively large-sized piece of furniture. Once installed, if you want to replace it, the amount of work will be reduced. It is very large, and the cabinet still occupies a relatively large expenditure in the home decoration budget. Generally, it will not be easily dismantled and modified after it is installed.
When making cabinets, the owners are also faced with two choices: one is to buy the board and let the carpenter do it on site, and the other is to find the design and production of customized all-aluminum furniture and send it to the site for direct installation. There are two ways to make cabinets, each has its own advantages. How to choose?
1. Which is durable? Woodworking ≥ Customized!
From the perspective of durability: if real solid wood is used as the material, and the woodworking craftsmanship is good, the mortise-and-mortise structure is often used to make the cabinet, which will definitely be more durable than the cabinet of ordinary custom furniture. But if the woodworker you are looking for is not skilled, the cabinets made may not be durable! And customized all-aluminum furniture can generally be used for more than 30 years or even 50 years.
2. What kind of beauty? Customized > Woodworking!
If a woodworker makes a cabinet, if there is no special design drawing, the carpentry is basically done according to the owner's idea, and whether it looks good or not can only be known after it is made. When customizing all-aluminum furniture, before making a cabinet, there will always be a designer who will first produce a design drawing. You can intuitively see whether it is beautiful or suitable for your own needs through the design drawing.
Of course, some people will say that the cabinet is made of wood, and the cabinet door is bought to be custom-made. This can solve the aesthetic problem of the appearance, but it cannot solve the gap in the overall cabinet shape. So from an aesthetic point of view, it is better to customize all-aluminum furniture!
Ask the carpenter to do:
advantage:
1) Participate in the selection of materials such as plates and hardware accessories.
2) Woodworking on-site production, can be designed according to the needs of the owner, the size is suitable, can be changed if you are not satisfied, and has strong practicability
3) Short working time
shortcoming:
1) Ask a carpenter to make the cabinet. The cost includes: sheet metal, hardware, paint, labor and other costs.
2) The style is single, and the aesthetics are unstable. According to the craftsmanship of the master, the quality is uneven, and there are problems such as insufficient refinement.
3) The on-site workmanship has large dust and large pollution.
4) The connection of woodworking cabinets is mainly made of nails, which are not firm, and it is easy to burst the edges by hand-sealing.
5) No after-sale guarantee
Custom All Aluminium Cabinets:
advantage:
1) Beautiful, many categories and diverse styles
2) The wardrobe can be customized according to the needs of the unit, without wasting the storage space at home.
3) The pattern is clear at a glance, saving trouble and worry.
shortcoming:
1) the price is higher,
2) Custom cabinets need to consider the layout in the early stage. If the design is not good in the early stage, the practicability will be affected in the later stage, and it is not easy to modify.
3) Who should I ask to make the cabinet?
If it was 20 or 30 years ago, I think most people would think that the cabinet must be done by a woodworker. After all, the woodworker at that time used a tenon-and-mortise structure to install the cabinets. The cabinets in my old home were decades ago. It's still pretty solid now.
However, with the passage of time, the old carpenters began to be unable to work, and few young people were willing to do crafts. At the same time, customized all-aluminum furniture has gradually become the mainstream of the market with the development of technology and materials.
