How to prevent moisture in kitchen cabinet plates, and should cabinets be treated with moisture

Clause. First, the choice of moisture-proof materials is the key.

Although everyone thinks that the damp place in the home should be the bathroom, but in fact, the kitchen is also very humid, and the cabinet should choose a material with good moisture-proof and water-resistant performance when purchasing, and the material of the floor and countertop should not leak or seep. The wall and ceiling materials should be water-resistant and can be scrubbed with water. The materials used in the interior design of the cabinet must be easy to clean, and it is best to choose materials that are not easy to pollute, easy to clean, moisture-proof, heat-proof and durable, such as ceramic tiles, waterproof coatings, PVC boards, fireproof boards, artificial marble, etc.

Clause. 2. Kitchen furniture must be separated from dry and wet.

Cabinets and sinks are indispensable protagonists in the kitchen, and the most damp place in the kitchen decoration is the cabinet. If the sink is not properly positioned or poorly designed, it is easy to cause the cabinet to deform or the material to mildew. It is recommended to lay the floor first and then make the cabinet when decorating, which can not only accurately size, but also ensure that the cabinet has been dried enough during installation to avoid excessive thermal expansion and contraction or moisture invasion that causes the cabinet to mildew.

At the same time, the panels of the cabinet will release formaldehyde to varying degrees. Owners can choose some professional chemicals to put in the cupboard, which can not only prevent moisture but also have an environmental protection effect.

Clause. 3. Timely dehumidification of sanitary dead corners.

Sewers, ceilings and corners are often dead corners of the kitchen, which are prone to moisture or dirt, and are prone to water seepage and odor if they are not strictly sealed. Since the sewer interface is in a relatively hidden place, it is easy to ignore it when the decoration is completed and accepted, so it is recommended to ask the decoration worker to seal the gap at the interface with glass glue or other adhesives. In addition, installing a hole cover at the opening of the sink cabinet can also prevent moisture.

When installing cabinets at home, everyone will pay attention to the maintenance measures of furniture. Should the cabinets be treated with moisture? Let's take a look.

Cabinet seepage dust is to do moisture-proof treatment, the main methods are:

1. Ventilation method.

The ventilation method is very simple and easy to understand, which is to keep the room ventilated and ventilated, and open the windows when the weather is fine, so that the water vapor in the room can volatilize from the cluster. If it is a southerly day, it is recommended to close the windows facing south, and open the doors and windows downwind to effectively reduce the entry of moisture into the room.

2. Bamboo charcoal method.

Many people think that bamboo charcoal is only used to remove formaldehyde, but they don't know that bamboo charcoal also has the effect of dehumidifying and collapsing. If you have a solid wood cabinet at home, it is recommended to buy some bamboo charcoal and put it in the cabinet, which can have the effect of dehumidifying and moisture-proof.

1. Ventilation method: open the kitchen window when the weather is sunny to keep the room ventilated, and the window is generally opened in the afternoon, because the humidity in the air is low at this time. On rainy days, close the doors and windows facing south or southeast and open the doors and windows in the downwind direction to reduce the inflow of moisture into the room.

2. Indoor heating method: when the tide returns, you can set up a charcoal stove to increase the indoor temperature, so that the water vapor can not condense, so as to reduce the indoor humidity. Here we would like to remind you to pay attention to timely ventilation to ensure your safety.

3. Dehumidifier and air conditioning dehumidification method: Properly add some dehumidifying electrical equipment, which can not only reduce the humidity of house prices, but also ensure the dryness of solid wood and other wooden furniture.

4. Lime moisture absorption method: lime has adsorption function, which can be placed indoors after being packed with quicklime in cloth or sack, which can effectively absorb moisture in the air and keep the indoor air dry.

5. Bamboo charcoal method: Bamboo charcoal can not only effectively remove odor and formaldehyde, but also dehumidify, so you can buy some bamboo charcoal to go home and put it in the cabinet to play a good role in dehumidification and moisture-proofing.

6. Candles: Lighting candles can play a role in reducing the humidity of the air in the room, thereby reducing the humidity of the kitchen. You can choose some scented candles, which will not only dry the air, but also remove musty odors from the room.

7. Laundry detergent: Laundry detergent is also a dehumidifier, open a new laundry detergent and poke a few small holes in the plastic film, which can play a good role in dehumidifying the kitchen.

The kitchen itself is a place with high temperature and humidity, so before the humidity hits, master the moisture-proof tips of solid wood cabinets, which will greatly improve your cooking experience and extend the life of the cabinets.

The kitchen is a practical place, and since it is often exposed to water, it is important to consider the leakage and moisture protection of the kitchen before the renovation begins. Here are some suggestions from the decoration materials.

flooring materials

From the perspective of kitchen flooring, marble and granite are often used natural stones, the advantages of these stones are sturdy and durable, never deformed, and have good sound insulation, but they have some shortcomings such as more expensive, not waterproof, slippery after water, and have the characteristics of not absorbing heat and cold, and the climate is more humid areas, the kitchen is not suitable for use. Nowadays, there is a kind of artificial stone on the market, which is cheaper than natural stone and has waterproofness, which can be described as the new upstart of building materials for kitchen flooring.

wall materials

The walls of the kitchen are easy to clean, not susceptible to stains, fire-resistant, heat-resistant, soft surface, and visually aesthetically pleasing. Plastic wallpaper, shiny wood panels, wood that has been treated or coated with transparent plastic paint are all excellent materials. At present, there are plastic wall materials and ceramic tiles on the market that have been approved for fire protection identification, and ceramic tiles are extremely popular because of their diverse colors and good visual effects.

ceiling material

The material of the ceiling is first and foremost fireproof and heat-resistant, and of course, it is not easy to stain and fade. The plastic wall materials that have passed the fire protection appraisal are all good choices, and they need to be equipped with ventilation equipment and sound insulation effects. If you install a skylight in the kitchen, you need to use double glazing, so that there is no concern about safety.

If the lighting fixture is placed between the ceiling and the plastic layer, a translucent plastic layer can be used.

Of course, if you do the above treatment, it is inevitable that there will be moisture in the kitchen. At this time, quicklime can be used to remove moisture and mildew. You can use a bowl or dish to put a small piece of quicklime and put it in the cupboard, which has the effect of removing moisture and mildew.

Cabinet is the C position of the kitchen, we naturally want to pick a good-looking and practical cabinet when we buy, and the best cabinet can be used for a long time. But there are so many plates on the market, how can you choose a good board? For those of us laymen, we also need to master some basic plate knowledge, so that we will not be blind when choosing.

When we buy cabinets, there are often some consumer misunderstandings, and we don't understand some professional terms of cabinet products, so we take a lot of detours.

1.Fireproof board is not fireproof.

Before I bought a cabinet, I always thought that fireproof boards were fireproof, but did you know? In fact, any cabinet material can not be fireproof in the real sense, and fireproof board should be called "fire-resistant board" strictly speaking.

Melamine is attached to the surface of the cabinet, so it has fire resistance, this material can usually withstand open flames for about 35-40 seconds, in this short time, the fireproof board can only produce black oil smoke that can be wiped off, and then the chemical reaction will occur to be carbonized.

For cabinets, the longer the fireproof board is resistant to open flames, the stronger the cabinet's ability to withstand high temperatures.

2.Moisture protection is not the same as water resistance.

Moisture-proof and waterproof cabinets are not the same. The moisture-proof of the cabinet is to add a moisture-proof agent to the substrate of the board, and this Mingyan moisture-proof agent only has an effect on the moisture in the air, and does not have any effect on the waterproofness of the board. The expansion rate is the same for the board with the addition of moisture-proof wheel accompaniment and the plate without the addition of moisture-proof agent when soaked in water.

Therefore, when we buy, we should not blindly pursue the moisture-proof performance of the moisture-proof board, because the addition of more moisture-proof agent will affect the strength of the wood-based panel, thereby affecting the service life of the cabinet.

3.The hazards of formaldehyde cannot be ignored.

The formaldehyde safety standard stipulated by the state is that a maximum of 9 milligrams of free formaldehyde is allowed in 100 grams of dry board, but at the same time, the state has regulations that the formaldehyde content of wood-based panels after surface treatment can reach 30 mg. But no matter what kind of standard cabinet, the primary goal of purchase is to protect our life safety, and the harm of formaldehyde cannot be ignored.

4.Don't be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses.

We've all heard the saying that you get what you pay for. Some cabinets are cheap because of their low cost and poor quality. Inferior plates are uneven to the touch, subject to external forces, and are easily worn out.

Although sometimes inferior cabinets can't be seen from the appearance of brand cabinets, but within two years, you will find that the service life of inferior cabinets is really limited.

As an important piece in the kitchen, it is very difficult to replace and install, so we must be careful when choosing materials, avoid these misunderstandings, and choose a truly practical cabinet.

If it is a fixed cabinet, in the case of no water on the other side, Mao Pei can be, if it is a basement house, the basement may be considered to do a simple waterproof, there is no need for more than 2 floors, we are here in Chongqing, the famous fog capital, the humidity is much more than other places,

Let's see what happens when you put wallpaper on it, maybe you can get a certain effect.

Here's how:

1. The moisture content of the wood decoration materials used should be controlled below 15 in the southern region, and below 12 in the northern region or heating area.

2. After the wall and ground are basically dry, install hanging cabinets and wall cabinets.

3. Before installing hanging cabinets and wall cabinets, preservatives should be brushed on the water quality materials of the inlet parts, the wall and the damp parts.

4. The interface of the drainage pipe in the cabinet should be sealed to prevent water overflow. The water bucket and basin should be sealed with sealant to prevent water from spilling into the wooden material along the gaps when using water.

6. Because the hanging cabinet and wall cabinet are installed on the wall, the moisture is not easy to dissipate after the wood material absorbs moisture, so the surface of the wooden material such as the plywood in the cabinet should be painted or soaked in water.
