Today’s home renovation always starts with the smallest change in the house. Also, these cabinets are used to store materials and things inside to make the house tidy. Therefore, when building a cabinet, not only its design and exterior is the point of consideration, but also the construction of the cabinet must be done correctly.
To build a cabinet, certain things are required, such as an embedded cabinet door with the design we want, cabinets, knobs, pulls, and hinges. Another essential thing for cabinet construction is that if the cabinet is made of wood, a good quality wood should be provided. This is because as a cabinet it has six faces or side shells.
Therefore, most of the body of the cabinet is then made up of wood. On the fifth side of the cabinet are the cabinet doors. For the wooden cabinet, the cabinet faces are constructed of solid hardwood to be effective. Although people prefer plywood over solid wood these days as solid wood costs more than plywood. In addition, the wood must be of such quality that it is especially protected from humidity.
The next important thing in cabinet construction is the cabinet shell, which is completely made of plywood, the typical 3/9-inch to 3/3-inch thickness of plywood is used in the shells. Other than this interior cabinet construction, if two or three shelves or drawers are added, they are made of plywood only.
Strength and rigidity are the two essential requirements for cabinets so that they do not sag or bend due to heavy load when placed inside. In this case, for interior construction, high-quality chipboard or plywood is preferred over solid wood, including because it is resistant to moisture.
The next thing to consider is the doors and frames of the wooden cabinets. The design of the doors has to be very important so that it goes with the decoration of the house as well. The door can be made with a solid hard wood or with particles of wood or plywood, depending on the choice and the money we are investing. The floating panel of the wooden cabinet door has to be made of solid hardwood plywood placed inside a frame of MDF or solid wood. The problem with the particle board used in the door is that it can’t be made in round edge shape, but mdf or solid wood can be made in round edge shape.
The cabinet hinges, knobs and pulls also play an important role as does the door and the wood for its body only. As these are the integral part of a cabinet and provide support for it, it is very essential that the hinges are of the right quality. Therefore, just putting a cabinet for home decoration is not only the only thing, but also needs the construction to be well made to bear the load.
