Paint or replace? Any ideas on the cabinets?
Comments (11)I would opt for new cabinets due to the kitchen layout. I don't like cook tops in islands. Your at the sink prepping and you have to walk around a wall to cook. I would make it all counter to the left of the fridge and put the cook top over there. I would put double ovens on the little wall. To the right of the fridge I would put the beverage center. That way the island can also act as a bar. In the place of the beverage center I would put pantry....See MoreCracks in brand new walls. What might be the cause? is it serious?
Comments (52)non funziona Claudia. Il cartongesso e' un materiale che flette e appoggiato in questo modo i pezzi sono fissi a due elementi distinti, quello del muro e quello sopra la porta, quindi si muoveranno in modo indipendente come e' normale che sia e si apriranno le crepe. Nelle giunte si usa il nastro di carta o uno fatto a rete, ma il problema qui e' la giunta. Quello che e' stato proposto purtroppo si tratta di un taccone e prima o poi Lei si imbattera nelle famigerate crepe. Il cartogesso posato bene presenta giunte solo tra panelli superiori ed inferiori e negli angoli come nella foto che ho mandato. Oppure in muri particolarmenti lunghi le giunte tra due pannelli in cui entrambi appoggiano su uno stud doppio e' normale. Ma per le aperture non si puo fare. Stiamo ristrutturando casa e TUTTE le finestre, porte e aperture varie presentavano lo stesso tipo di crepe. Io e mio marito abbiamo buttato giu TUTTO il cartogesso di tutta la casa e mio marito ha posato quello nuovo come ti ho detto, il cartogesso vecchio presentava il tipo di giunte che hanno fatto a casa tua, quindi di questo puoi trarre le conclusioni......See MoreNew cabinet paint chipping and cracking!
Comments (4)I wound up here by researching something like "new cabinet paint chipping and cracking." Your bath cabinets look a lot like my kitchen white shaker cabinets which I thought were being made l locally but on installation day, the installer brought in RTA's that said made in China n the box. One area is chipped approximately a quarter inch It is a part that will be hidden by countertops, but I am concerned that these may not hold up to normal use. Best of luck to you, and your installer I am sure can get decent paint. Maybe a paint store can advise you and you can in turn advise your installer....See MoreNew shaker cabinet panels on appliances have hairline cracks. Help!
Comments (31)I am hesitant to solve this problem as there is significant possibility this is a small part of a larger quality issue. So first let me talk about what we expect, what we love and what we are surprised by with pictures (note: this is very subjective). What we expect to see in a joint... This is pretty much the standard scope and stick joint for U.S. cabinets. Even incredibly cheap cabinets will use this as it is also very price effective. This is what we can't see but would love on these types of cabinets. this is a haunched tenon and there are other versions that are just as good. It gives more strength than the traditional cope and stick joint. This is what yours looks like and is not what I would consider acceptable for cabinets. I am concerned if cabinets that are going to see any real use are constructed like this. Maybe a curio cabinet with glass inserts type of thing would be fine. However, it could actually be this... this is a rebated mortise and tenon and would be superior to cope and stick. But probably inferior to a haunched tenon, at this point in quality it really doesn't matter. Japanese and thus really Korean joinery is something of legend. Structures built without a drop of glue or nails that have withstood hundreds of years of earthquakes and storms. So it is entirely possible that these cabinets were constructed like that, I would be floored if that were the case and the bill should be very impressive if they were. ---- As to the fix. It is a lever problem on a door where only one side is important. Router and chisel in a small pocket, epoxy in a 1" wide flat corner brace and drink to your victory. This is my take on what I see. Others may see it differently and certainly we are moving out of my wheelhouse, so I will claim no authority. Hope this helps....See Morekirkhall
