In home design, rounded elements are gradually gaining popularity among consumers. The soft lines of rounded cabinets not only break the rigidity of traditional right-angled furniture and inject a dynamic aesthetic into the space, but also cleverly avoid the risk of bumps and knocks, making them especially suitable for families with elderly people and children.
However, curved cabinets are expensive and difficult to install. To minimize losses, it is necessary to prepare in advance and avoid mistakes as much as possible.
Today, Qiangyi will provide you with a complete guide to the installation process of curved cabinets, helping you to install them more easily!
Curved cabinet installation steps
Curved cabinets are difficult to install, so thorough preparation and attention to detail are essential. Below are some standard installation steps; please adjust them according to the specific site conditions during construction.
1. Preparation of tools and materials
◆Essential tools: electric drill, screwdriver, level, tape measure, pencil, rubber mallet. If glass or metal parts are involved, special protective pads are also required.
◆Material Inspection: Carefully check the side panels, back panels, partitions, hardware and other components to ensure there are no scratches or deformations and that all accessories are complete.
2. Precise measurement and positioning
◆ Use a measuring tape and level to measure the wall surface to ensure that the flatness error is ≤3mm.
◆ Mark the cabinet positions and fixing points with a pencil according to the design drawings, and use a laser marking instrument if necessary.
3. Cabinet assembly
◆ Secure the side panels, back panels, and partitions with screws or connectors according to the instructions to ensure the structure is stable and not loose.
◆ For special curved parts, pay attention to the splicing angle and try to adjust them in advance.
4. Back panel reinforcement
◆After attaching the back panel tightly to the cabinet body, secure it with screws or nails to enhance overall stability.
◆ Ensure the back panel is aligned with the edge of the cabinet to avoid misalignment.
5. Cabinet fixing
◆Drill holes at the marked points and use expansion screws to fix the cabinet to the wall.
◆ Repeatedly check the cabinet's level and verticality to ensure the error is less than 2mm.
6. Cabinet door/drawer installation
◆Install the hinges or slide rails and adjust them so that the opening and closing are smooth and the gaps are even (about 2-3mm).
◆Test the opening and closing feel, and fine-tune the position of the hardware if necessary.
7. Detail adjustments
◆Recalibrate the cabinet's level and verticality, and check that all components are securely connected.
◆ Clean up excess glue residue and sawdust to keep the installation surface clean.
