One. Steps for installing custom furniture throughout the house.
1、Installation Preparation Phase
Upon delivery, the materials are typically packaged in cardboard. Please inspect the materials and hardware after unpacking to ensure they meet the required specifications.
2、Install the base plate
Before installing the flooring, the floor surface must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating after installation, making it difficult to maintain.
3、Secure the frame
The side panels and back panel must be installed according to their fixed positions on the board, and the positions between the boards must also be adjusted.
4、Install the ceiling
Prepare a ladder, lift and secure the top board, and then fix it with nails.
5、Install shelves
Please install the shelves onto the pre-drilled holes and secure them. Pay attention to the positioning of the shelves and the backboard and side panels.
6、Secure door tracks
once the upper and lower parts of the wardrobe are installed, the door tracks can be installed. When selecting the materials for the door tracks, prioritize lightweight alloy materials.
7、Install clothes rods
Secure the nails in the pre-drilled holes and install the clothes rod. Pay attention to ensure evenness on both sides and avoid any tilting.
II. Installation techniques for full-house customized installations
1. During installation, pay attention to protecting other areas of the house, as furniture is typically installed last (especially during renovations). After furniture installation, cleaning should begin. Key areas to protect include: floors (especially hardwood floors), door frames, doors, staircases, wallpaper, and light fixtures.
2. Another important aspect is to personally oversee the installation process to identify any damage that may occur. However, this is unlikely to be a major issue, as the installers are experienced and careful. If they damage the furniture, their company will certainly hold them accountable.
3. Installation of hardware, such as handles and knobs: This primarily involves determining the optimal installation location for the family's height or position, prioritizing functionality over aesthetics. For example, handles for hanging cabinets or cabinets designed to increase height must be installed below the door, while handles for floor cabinets and small desks should be placed on top.
4. Pay attention to hygiene: This is especially important if you are replacing old furniture in your home (new homeowners can also perform a thorough cleaning). Custom-made furniture differs from mass-produced furniture, and many items are installed in your home, which inevitably involves drilling, cutting, and other operations. This will generate sawdust and dust.
5、Wall-mounted electrical and plumbing: Electrical and plumbing modifications are now essential components of modern renovations. Therefore, there may be pipes and wires embedded within the walls and at the junctions between the ceiling and walls. We mention this point because the installation of custom-made furniture is very similar to installing modular kitchen cabinets, which may also require heavy equipment such as a demolition hammer. If we are not aware of the location of pipes and wires beforehand, there is a risk of damaging electrical wiring or water pipes. Electrical wiring is relatively easy to repair, but water pipes are more difficult.
