| 'Flatpack'
or' Rigid' ? Look underneath the wall unit
A 'Flatpack' cabinet has numerous components that must
be assembled. Plastic caps are then used to cover the concealed
metal fittings. A 'Rigid' cabinet is factory-assembled
and squared under pressure using traditional 'Dowel & Glue'
joints. It is superior to 'Flatpack' but not necessarily
more expensive as assembling 'Flatpack' units on site can be time-consuming
and costly.
Look at the shelves ...
Are they of the same thickness as the side panels ? All
too often shelves are inadequate for their use. Our cabinet sides
and shelves are 19mm thick and have solid metal shelf support .
Check the back panel ...
Is it securely fixed to the sides of the cabinet ? A fitted
back panel dramatically strengthens rigidity. Our back panels are
8mm Medium Density Fibreboard and are fitted during factory construction
as an integral part of the cabinet.
Examine the drawers ...
Do they appear solid and secure ? Self assembled drawer
boxes are prone to losing their strength. Weak bases may bend under
weight, and front panels can become loose over time. All our drawer
bases are factory constructed from 16mm metallic effect MFC and
rigorously tested to the highest of standards. |
