Custom Cabinet Installation

The most important thing to consider in installing custom cabinet is the wood.
We need to have the right choices of wood for our cabinets to look better and sturdier that will last a long time.
We all know the prices of quality woods are, and we can save a lot of money if we install them on our own instead of paying a handyman to do it.
The first thing we need to do is to plan.
Planning involves about our safety in making the project, and on gathering all the right materials for it.
Making sure that all the materials are complete before starting the project will save us a lot of time from going back to the store.
We should have a list of all the tools and materials that we are going to need and make sure they are the correct ones before we start building the cabinets.
If we are installing larger cabinets, it will be better if we ask help from another person.
The difficult part here would be the carrying of the cabinets when being installed.
If we have another person to help, we can easily move the cabinets together.
When working with cabinets, we first need to know where we like to install them.
This way, we can measure the exact width and height of the cabinet so that it will fit in the place.
We need to make sure that the area where we will be placing it has a sturdy and strong wall.
If it is a hanging cabinet, we have to place it in a wall that can carry it well.
Remember that it's not only the cabinet's weight that we are talking about it, but also the things that we are going to place inside it once it is finished.
In case of being confused with choosing what wood to use, the most common and most recommended would be the AB plywood.
We have to find out which side of the wood is finer, and that side would be on the outer part.
Some plywood has rough sides and even though we sand them, their roughness can still be visible.
That is why it is better if we keep the finer side on the outer part.
The style and design of our cabinets must also be decided beforehand.
We need to decide whether we are going for the traditional and simple style, or the more complex one.
This way, we will know what kind of finish we are going to apply.
It can either be a stained finish, smooth paint finish, or the ones with frames and other carvings.
After all the above procedures and guidelines have been done, we can now begin with the building of the custom cabinets.
Once we are starting, it is always a must that we wear protective clothing such as gloves, eye glasses and others.
The wood can sometime cut into our skin and we better protect ourselves from it.
