Kitchen - One of the major premises of the house, where we spend a lot of time so it must be convenient and efficient. Before you buy your kitchen, you should measure your kitchen, draw its outline and think about where to place your future kitchen. Whatever the shape and dimensions of your kitchen are, with the design they have to be necessarily taken into account and make maximum use.
The style of your kitchen can be anything - from classic to modern. However, the expressive type of cuisine, and avant-garde of its design, the more likely it quickly go out of fashion.
Colored kitchens should help to relax or, conversely, have a catalytic effect. In the kitchen, which is constantly overheated, good cold colors - shades of blue, gray and green. In the dark kitchen is better to use pastel colors - lemon, pink, pistachio, apricot, peach. Try to avoid saturated colors, contrasting colors and complex images in the working surface and small areas of walls.
The service life of kitchen equipment is determined by years. German factories are targeted to the 15-20 years old, Finland - 10-15, the Czech offer some 10 years. Russian producers, even when using imported components, talk only about 8-10 years. The Italians offered to change the situation every 5-6 years, but not because of quality furniture, but in order to cope with stress and monotony. The operation of kitchen furniture also depends on what kind of materials used in its manufacture.
As a corps of material for the manufacture of kitchen apply (in descending order of price) tree, multiplex, MDF and chipboard.
For the production of furniture used for more than 40 types of wood. Her carefully dried and processed by special trains for the protection from exposure to the environment.
A well-proven and natural material multiplex - glued in different directions are thin layers of wood of different species. This material is less affected by water than solid wood, and not deformed.
More often than not, for the manufacture of kitchen modern chipboard, MDF and other types of plates. If resources permit, it is better to choose MDF as a more durable and environmentally friendly material. When buying a kitchen from the CPD ask the seller hygiene certificate, which shall be shown the formaldehyde emission levels.
Recently, more and more common in the manufacture of kitchen equipment becomes scrap metal. On the front panel, including cabinets doors, often found a more benign, as compared with steel, aluminum with anodized coating (increases its durability). A satin steel kitchen gives spectacular view, but requires careful maintenance.
From modern high-glass doors make the cabinet and shelves, furniture glass because not only stand up to big weight but also attacked.
As contributions to the work surfaces - tabletops - are applied, except for these materials, natural, synthetic and artificial stones. Granite robust is little sensitive to acids, travertine and marble temperature-proof but are porous, so they often develop stains from grease and wine. But the marble tabletop, you can choose from a variety of colors.
Synthetic stones - crystals aksilan, varikor, Coria and others - does not yield a natural counterparts, and often surpass their practicality.
The foundation of artificial stones - sand, quartz, acrylic, glass fibers, bauksit strong and binders. Artificial stone lighter natural, simple handling, hygienic, durable and heat-proof (withstands heat to 230 degrees).
As a coating material for the manufacture of kitchen most often used interline - natural and synthetic, and polymers - laminate and melamine. When coating with natural wood veneer cut a thin layer and then attached to the standard basis. With the help of synthetic solid can simulate not only the tree, but many other materials, and a special protective film replaces varnish and other ways to trim finishing.
Laminate and melamine is used as an artificial surface for the CPD and the JVP. Melamine surface is not calculated to high mechanical loads, while the laminate is thicker, stronger and more durable, so a laminated board made even tabletops.
