Ideas and practical experience related to the construction of a monolithic kitchen furniture

Construction of monolithic kitchen - a really exclusive and practical solution that is beneficial arrange their own housing situation, avoiding the purchase of ordinary and expensive kitchen furniture. By definition, kitchen monolith is integral seamless structure, decorated Modern materials and is part of the premises for the workspace cooking. The simplest embodiment of a kitchen monolith incorporates items such as: countertop, sink and an apron (the rear wall of the working surface). In more complex cases in the design of embedded sills, benches and built in appliances.

If the external finish of the kitchen of the monolith are all more or less clear (it can be created on the basis of ceramic tiles, artificial or natural stone, wood and other decorative materials), the features of the support structure should be considered more detail. In general, it's not so difficult as it may seem to the uninitiated person. If desired, construct a similar object on forces even women with an interest in the construction and unwilling to resort to outside help.

katoga (participant FORUMHOUSE):

I found the implemented project monolithic cuisine at the Forum. She almost did everything herself. The picture shows her first repair. The kitchen took 40,000 rubles (together with the technique). Almost as planned. Partitions made of gypsum partition blocks. Working with them is a pleasure - easily sawn and drilled, fastened to the walls and the floor is fine.

The expediency of self-assembly of monolithic kitchens will not be questioned if take into account the high cost of such structures established to order different profile organizations. Given that the exact technology Self-kitchen monoliths represented only basic rules and recommendations, during their construction, we would advise readers to focus on the successful experience of the members of our Construction Forum.

The sequence of creating a monolithic kitchen resembles stages of construction of a modern house being built according to individual project. At the same time before the master is not worth no restrictions related to the external design, in compliance with generally accepted standards, sizes and rules. The monolithic kitchen is finished the interior of one of the most frequented rooms of your home.

Virik (participant FORUMHOUSE):

Here we have got a kitchen-monolith in the budget option. Hurry, limited finances and the possibility of imagination. But the result we are still satisfied. So wait, and over the years, and can make the hood and change the facades.

Now let's talk directly about the sequence and principles for creating a monolithic kitchen.

frame construction

Like any other construction work, activities to create a kitchen monolith begin with the development of the project. It is necessary to consider the basic structural components, its dimensions, the presence of lockers, drawers and other useful devices. Also, at this stage, the basic materials from which the frame will be required modules.

The material used in the carcass structure, mainly depends on the preferences of its creator. The frame can be brick (with elements timber), or a monolithic stone (based on concrete). In some cases, pazogrebnevye gypsum boards are used to create the support structure, which is also justified in terms of labor and time savings. Each material has its own advantages, and choose from them is not easy.

The walls husband zasverlival iron pipe, then doing the formwork and pour the solution.

Tora (participant FORUMHOUSE):

The first step is mounted communications wiring, and then laid flat and glued concrete blocks (100h250h600). Thus, it has turned the trough to fill the podium. In the next stage of the same blocks formed vertical partitions.

The frame can be mounted on the concrete screed and finishing of the finished floor (coated, e.g., tiles).

installation of countertops

As for the countertops, then the best option is the creation of its care structures based on permanent formwork and ordinary concrete screed. Regarding its decoration it can be said that in terms of finish, each relies on your taste.

Tora (participant FORUMHOUSE):

Wall mounted and made permanent formwork from plywood 20 mm. Missed sealant and cut slits under the sink hole. Apply betonkontakt plywood, set the grid, and then poured slab.

After the concrete screed froze, author of the project laid on top of her water-resistant plywood and covered all the floors.

The forum is a further option to create the kitchen of the monolith, made on the basis of a wooden bar (unfortunately no photo).

Virik (participant FORUMHOUSE):

The frame is made of wood. Table top - removable. Formwork thereto is made of a moisture-resistant gypsum board reinforced screed + + 3 cm tiles. The floor and rear wall in the lower boxes decorated tiles. Partitions and shelves - chipboard. Doors, facades just ordered in a furniture store.

Given the special role countertops in the kitchen areas, the quality of the concrete screed, used during its manufacture, should pay special attention. The use of a plasticizer for concrete in this case, can significantly improve the durability and other performance of the structure.

communications Incorporation

Given that the monolithic kitchen design does not mean in the long term permutation of its individual pieces, you need to properly mount the wiring for future communications. To this should be guided by certain rules, which are also dictated by the practical experience of our members of the forum:

• During installation it must be ensured that the connectors, tees and other threaded elements have not been immured in the frame structure.
• Despite the fact that plastic pipes are considered to be a reliable material for wiring, a large amount of water water (particularly hot) used in the kitchen, it can lead to the gradual clogging of the system and to flow in the field compounds. Consequently, the need for good reason to use a metal-pipe design kitchen monolith.
• Copper pipes are the best option for creating the wiring inside the kitchen tap monolith, the pipe polypropylene recognized one permitted.
• During the construction of monolithic kitchen it is recommended to use a parallel circuit tap wiring, which evenly distributes the pressure in all parts of the system. This can significantly increase the reliability and service life.

for monolithic kitchen door

Many people who want to build a monolithic kitchen with his hands, bad imagine how it is possible to mount the door in the frame bearing structure. The optimal solution in this case would be the installation of precast ducts (wood, particle board, chipboard) or cabinet inside a monolithic design. On its walls, after the installation of the loops will be hinged door. And select the appropriate facade for the kitchen easily not be.

Tora (participant FORUMHOUSE):

During the construction of a monolithic skeleton of the walls in the interior of the set he assembled cabinet without doors and enclose the side of thin cardboard, then to the cabinet can be removed and inserted.

A similar approach can be taken as a basis during the creation of the framework for the electric oven or any other built-in appliances.

Installation of the loop - it is a responsible point in door installation sequence (facades). The hinges should be chosen in such a way that they can easily withstand the load assigned to them. According to the standards, two loops with a diameter "cups" 35 mm kept doors up to 800 mm long.

A process that involves installing a door frame collecting box (enclosure) for both conventional flaps and for compartment designs. It is much easier to come up with anything, and can not, especially when you consider that this method, many members of this forum have already been successfully tried out in practice.
