Hinge requirements for different styles of cabinets？
Sep 18, 2023
As one of the most important storage furniture in the kitchen, the quality of its various components is directly related to the service life and convenience of daily use. Among them, the hinge, as one of the smallest parts in the cabinet, has a crucial impact on the opening and closing effect of the cabinet, durability, beauty and so on. The hinge needs of different styles of cabinets are therefore different.
At present, the common cabinet styles on the market are mainly European, Chinese, American and modern simple four categories, and their needs for hinges are also different.
For European cabinets, the demand for hinges is mainly reflected in its decorative and aesthetic degree. European-style cabinets are usually gray and white in color, with imitation stone or imitation wood panels, so it is necessary to use hinges with uniform color and panel quality to ensure the overall beauty of the cabinet. The door panel of the European cabinet is usually small, so the hinge needs to be responsible for carrying the weight of the door panel, and ensure that the door panel opens smoothly and closes silently.
The demand for hinges in Chinese cabinets is mainly reflected in its practicality and durability. Chinese-style cabinets are usually black as the main color, with solid wood panels, so it is necessary to use hinges with good bearing capacity and strength to ensure the support strength and durability of the wood-based door panels. The door panels of Chinese cabinets are large, so the hinges need to have good opening and closing smoothness.
The hinge demand of American cabinets is mainly reflected in its simplicity and convenience. American-style cabinets are usually white in color, with imitation wood panels, so it is necessary to use simple style hinges to maintain the overall beauty of the cabinet. The door panels of American cabinets are usually larger, so the hinges need to have a high load carrying capacity and good stability.
Modern simple cabinets pay more attention to the convenience and humanized design of hinges. Modern minimalist style cabinets are usually dominated by a variety of colors, with a simple panel, so the hinge needs to have a good human design and convenient use. The door panels of modern minimalist cabinets are usually thin, so the hinges need to have a good opening and closing effect.
