When installing Kelinai countertops, the verticality requirements mainly involve the fit between the countertop and the wall, cabinet body, as well as the stability of the overall structure. The following is a detailed description:
The verticality between the countertop and the wall
When installing the Kelinai countertop, it should be kept closely attached to the wall without any obvious gaps. Generally speaking, the width of the gap between the edge of the countertop and the wall should be controlled within a relatively small range (for example, in an ideal situation, the gap should be as small as possible, and obvious deviations should not be easily detectable by the naked eye) to ensure the aesthetic appeal and stability of the installation. If the wall itself is not vertical, before installing the countertop, the wall needs to be leveled. For example, the wall can be repaired with cement mortar or leveling materials to meet the verticality requirements, and then the countertop can be installed to avoid the problem of the countertop tilting or uneven gaps after installation due to the tilt of the wall.
The verticality between the countertop and the cabinet
The verticality between the countertop and the cabinet is equally important. As the supporting structure of the countertop, the verticality of the cabinet body directly affects the installation effect of the countertop. During the installation process, it is necessary to ensure that the top of the cabinet is level and vertical, and then place the countertop on the cabinet. If the cabinet is tilted, after the countertop is installed, one side may be higher than the other, which not only affects the appearance but also may cause uneven force distribution on the countertop, increasing the risk of damage.
Guarantee measures for verticality during the installation process
Measurement and marking: Before installation, use tools such as a laser level to measure the wall and cabinet, marking the vertical and horizontal reference lines to provide accurate references for the installation of the countertop.
Adjustment and fixation: When installing the countertop, adjust its position based on the measurement results to ensure that the verticality between the countertop and the wall or cabinet meets the requirements. After the adjustment is completed, use special glue or screws to fix the countertop to the cabinet body to prevent it from moving during use.
Inspection and acceptance: After the installation is completed, use tools again to check the verticality of the countertop to ensure that the countertop installation meets the requirements. If the verticality is found to be non-compliant with the standard, adjustments should be made promptly until the requirements are met.
