Matters needing attention in the renovation of old kitchen

What problems should be paid attention to in the renovation of the old kitchen? This paper introduces the matters needing attention in the renovation of the old kitchen in detail to help you complete the renovation of the kitchen smoothly.

Complex internal structure

The internal structure of the old kitchen is complicated. In addition to asking cabinet manufacturers to measure the kitchen, it is also necessary to see whether the original positions of various pipes are suitable. If it is not suitable and needs to be changed, the decoration company will be given a kitchen renovation plan, and the construction team will make the necessary renovation according to the drawings.

Gas and natural gas pipelines should be cautious.

We should be cautious in rebuilding gas and natural gas pipelines in old kitchens. These two kinds of pipes are generally not allowed to be changed at will. If it must be changed, it must be approved by the property company. When making changes, it is usually a professional company designated by the gas and natural gas company or the property management company, because it is professional and convenient for future maintenance.

Add hot water pipe

Old houses usually have one-way water supply, so it is better to add a hot water pipe when the kitchen is rebuilt. In addition, the general family bathroom is relatively small, and the washing machine can only be placed in the kitchen, which requires an additional water supply pipe and a ground drainage pipe. Need to be reminded that due to structural restrictions, waterway changes can only be changed to water, not water.

Location problem of gas meter

In the renovation of the old kitchen, it is necessary to move the gas meter from its original position to another wall, and that wall has already installed cabinets, and there is no place to install the gas meter. At this time, you can only make a hole in the bottom plate of the cabinet and hide the gas meter in the cabinet, but in this case, it is difficult to find the problem in time and it is easy to leave a safety hazard.

Closed water test

Do a good job of closed water test. Before the renovation of water supply and drainage, it is suggested that the space be tested for water closure before acceptance by the relevant property. If you find water leakage, you can find a property to solve it. In order to avoid leakage after transformation, the responsibility is not clear.

Pipeline length planning

The length of the pipeline passing through the wall should be planned before the kitchen is rebuilt, and the size of the pipeline at the outlet of the wall should take into account the final size after the wall tiles are laid, especially the pipeline directly connected to sanitary ware such as faucets. In addition, the direction of the pipeline should also try to avoid the electric conduit entering the wall, so as to avoid the influence of water pipe rupture and water leakage on future electricity consumption.

Inlet and outlet positioning

Set water inlet and water outlet. Accurate positioning of water inlet and outlet is very important. In addition to customization according to personal living habits, it also depends on the distance and layout of the kitchen and bathroom. In the decoration of second-hand house kitchen, it is also necessary to consider whether to keep the original positions of water inlet and water outlet.
