Cabinet height and moving line design
Apr 28, 2020
The rhythm of modern life is very fast, as is the selection of furniture, especially custom-made furniture. If you make a mistake, you will need to face a long time after-sales. In order to avoid this situation, when we choose cabinets, there are three points that are worthy of our attention, namely, functional division, cabinet height and moving line design. If you choose these points right, you do n’t have to worry about the finished product going wrong.
Focus one: function division
As a special functional cabinet, the cabinet is responsible for multiple functions such as storage, operation, and decoration. Different functions target different functions and different locations. Natural zoning also needs to be planned accordingly.
A set of cabinets basically includes four main location zones: upper cabinet, wall, countertop, and lower cabinet.
The upper cabinet position is relatively high, it is relatively difficult to handle, and some uncommon and light items can be placed. The position of the countertop and the wall is the core of the cooking operation. Some lighter commonly used tools and articles can be hung on the wall, and some bulky and common electrical appliances and tools can be placed on the countertop. It should be noted that the countertops are divided according to functional locations such as washing, cutting, cooking, and meal preparation. The lower cabinet can be stored and stored according to the location, such as the washing and cutting area under the cabinet storage basin screen, the cooking area under the cabinet storage seasoning, the preparation area under the cabinet Place dishes, etc.
Focus two: dynamic design
The general cabinet layout is mainly divided into: straight, L-shaped, U-shaped and island-shaped, the final choice of which form needs to be combined with space considerations, but the overall need to follow a reasonable line of operation.
The operation line of the kitchen includes basic tasks such as storage, cleaning, cutting, cooking, and meal preparation. Therefore, the positions of the sink, stove, and range hood in the cabinet must be corresponding to each other, to ensure smooth operation without fighting, turning around, and not crowded Realize a reasonable and convenient cooking life.
Focus on three: cabinet height
The height of the cabinet is nothing more than two items: the height of the lower cabinet and the height of the upper cabinet. The height of the lower cabinet is basically determined by the height of the "chef" in the home. The general standards are:
The height of the "master chef" is ≤165cm and the height of the lower cabinet is about 80cm; the height of the "master chef" is> 165cm and the height of the lower cabinet is about 85cm.
The flexibility of custom cabinets lies in the controllable size, the ideal height is never fixed, and it can be flexibly selected according to the needs of the owner. However, it should be noted that the height of the lower cabinet = adjustment feet + lower cabinet body + table height, and the communication needs to be clearly communicated during the customization process to confirm the plan.
The height of the upper cabinet needs to be determined in conjunction with the height of the lower cabinet. Generally, the upper cabinet is about 50 ~ 60cm away from the lower countertop, leaving a suitable space in the middle to facilitate the operation of the countertop, and it is also convenient for the upper cabinet to take.
The height of the upper cabinet body is determined by the operation requirements, storage space, ceiling height, etc., and it can be freely determined according to the space of the apartment during actual production.
