What should be noted when making cabinets in an old house renovation?

When making cabinets in an old house renovation, it is advisable to focus on the following points: First, confirm whether the old cabinets need to be removed. Quotes usually do not include the removal of existing cabinets. If old cabinets need to be removed, state this in advance and confirm separately based on the on-site conditions. Second, during measurement, focus on checking wall flatness, kickboards, and internal and external corners, then determine the closing method. Old house walls are often not regular enough, and the closing treatment directly affects the final result. Third, if the kitchen is involved, re-measure after the water and electrical positioning is completed, and confirm the sink and water supply/drainage positions, gas and socket points, and the range hood exhaust path. Fourth, choose materials according to budget and environmental requirements. For cabinet bodies, particle board, plywood, eco board, and OSB are available. For environmental grades, HENF, ENF, E0, FAS, and F4 star are available. For door panels, double-faced finish, PET, vacuum forming, baked paint, and solid wood veneer are available. For hardware, Blum, Hettich, DTC, Higold, and Hegu are available. Fifth, old house renovations do not necessarily require replacing everything. You can do only cabinet bodies, only cabinet doors, or only replace door panels (replace doors on old cabinets). Regarding price, reference budgets in Beijing are 500–1,100 yuan/㎡ for wardrobes, 900–1,650 yuan/linear metre for kitchen cabinets, 400–700 yuan/㎡ for shoe cabinets, 400–800 yuan/㎡ for sideboards, 500–1,100 yuan/㎡ for tatami, and 400–800 yuan/㎡ for TV cabinets. These are only reference budgets and are not formal quotes. The final result is subject to dimensions, design, materials, hardware, quantity, region, on-site conditions, and formally confirmed results.
