MDF cornice for the corresponding kitchen is an excellent solution

MDF cornice for the corresponding kitchen is an excellent solution

Today we will talk about very beautiful decorative elements that are installed, as a rule, on sets whose facades are made of a frame profile.

The profile from which such decorative elements (cornices) are made can come in different decors and configurations (there is a large choice, so choosing suitable elements to match the color of the kitchen is never difficult).

They are attached to the box using 4x30 (mm) self-tapping screws.

To make such a cornice for a kitchen set, you need to have the dimensions of the top of the kitchen along the perimeter with designated corners.

As an example, I will give a diagram of a cornice installed on a kitchen set, photographs of which are given in this article (according to this diagram, they cut a profile for me, which I installed on the kitchen set).

After the kitchen set has already been installed (at the end of installation), such a cornice is attached to the upper boxes.

It is better to fasten it with helpers, as it is not convenient to do it alone.

I attached it like this:

First, I laid out all the elements on the upper kitchen boxes the way they should be installed (I made sure the profile was cut correctly).

Then, in each element I made several holes (on top of the profile), through which they should be fixed to the boxes.

After that, I again laid out these elements on the upper boxes and began to fasten them.

The most important thing during installation is to arrange the elements so that there are no gaps at their joints during fastening. At the moment of fastening the profile, the assistant must firmly fix the corner joint, the elements of which are attached.

In this case, when attaching adjacent elements, there was a small gap in only one place, which was immediately covered with wax (when you are dealing with framed MDF, buy wax of the same color as it, sometimes it helps a lot).

One more point: If a profile cornice is to be installed on the kitchen set, the following things must be observed:

• When assembling the upper kitchen boxes, the upper horizons must be strictly flush with the sides (so that there are no “steps”).
• When installing such a kitchen, the entire upper base must be strictly vertical.

In this example, the upper corner frame was assembled in such a way that its upper horizon was slightly lower than the top edge of the sides (this very “step” was obtained), and during installation, the part of the profile that is attached to this corner frame turned out to be lower than the other parts. In order to “bring it” to the general level, I had to put what was at hand under this part of the cornice (and I had plain paper at hand).

These are the nuances that may occur during installation.

In general, a kitchen with such a cornice and MDF facades looks quite interesting. It would seem like such a small thing, but “it” changes the overall appearance of the kitchen for the better quite noticeably.

So, use the elements we are considering when making similar kitchen sets.

Yes, I forgot to add that profile cornices are installed either in straight kitchens or in corner ones, in the case when the corner modules of these kitchens have beveled ends (as in this case).

Naturally, such curtain rods will not work in kitchens with corner open shelves or with corner radius facades.

What is important to consider

When purchasing a particular model, pay attention not only to the material, but also to the design features. Manufacturers offer pipe, frame, string and rack cornices. Of all the features of their designs, reliability of operation is most influenced by the type of mounting plates used. The following types of plates are used for fastening:

• Single point. The hole is located in the center of the part. A dowel selected according to the type and length will allow you to firmly fix the bracket even on a hollow base. The weight of the fabric may cause the structure to deform slightly.
• Three-point. The ideal way to attach curtains to a wall made of concrete or wood. Some types of three-point plates (those with closely spaced holes) are not suitable for installation if the substrate is porous. Aerated concrete can simply crumble under load. If the base is a hollow material, only the top hole is fixed with a dowel. Self-tapping screws are screwed into the rest so that the bracket does not rotate.

How to install a kitchen overhead cornice?

Dear forum users. I'm assembling the kitchen myself. I stopped at the stage of installing the upper cornices on the wall cabinets. I can’t figure out how to cut the cornices for installation on the corner cabinets. I ask for urgent help. I have it at the moment

Thanks in advance for your answer.

22.5 degrees on the crosscut.

C2p-OH If it’s not difficult, then please give more details. Do you cut both ends or just one and on which side? Preferably a drawing or photo.

both sides of each cornice are cut at 22.5 degrees. on the crosscut. The cornice should be on the end of the trim on the same side that will be on the kitchen cabinet. 22.5 is the bisector of the joining angle. It's hard to draw on the touchpad.

C2p-OH, Thank you very much for your answer, but it’s still not very clear (I’m slow). As I understand it, it can’t be done without trimming and a miter box won’t help. Maybe someone has a photo or drawing.

not in a miter box - worse, but possible. Also, set it to 22.5 degrees. and saw all mating sides

If you have never sawed a cornice, then it is better not to start. Moreover, there is no trimming. Even with her it’s quite difficult. And it is important in your case not just to saw off the desired corner, but also to choose the location of the checkers (squares), otherwise it will not be beautiful.

For such a cut as in the bottom photo, they usually castrate and cut off not only the organs below the waist, but also the arms.

If it’s not long, bring it, I’ll cut it off.

Thank you all so much for your answers

C2p-OH, How can I contact you?

Quite risky. The cornice is quite large even if the angle is not 45. Usually such things are adjusted according to the location, including the overhang and length.

Tell me, please, how are these cornices attached? Only from above? Are there any mounting plates to make installation easier? Otherwise, we don’t have much space left between the edge of the upper cornice and the ceiling. And another question: do all the parts have to be secured separately? You can fit them, join the corners at the bottom, and then mount them all the way up. How, for example, are ceiling moldings made (several strips are glued together neatly at the bottom, and only mounted at the top).

Installation of drywall and preparation for finishing

When cutting gypsum board fragments, it should be taken into account that one edge of the box, usually the bottom, should be slightly wider in order to cover the ends of the two side edges.

It is recommended to drill holes for spotlights in advance, before installing drywall. It is also better to make chamfers at the joints of the elements. They will be useful for subsequent processing of seams.

The sheathing process looks like this:

• The prepared pieces of drywall are fixed to the frame with self-tapping screws in increments of 25–30 cm. A special bit installed on a screwdriver will greatly facilitate the process: due to its shape, it will not allow the screw to be driven too far and crush the plasterboard.

• As mentioned earlier, it is more convenient to mount the wall of the box facing the window at the bottom. The small dimensions of the niche will not allow you to “crawl” with a screwdriver to the fastening points.
• After the installation of the gypsum board is completed, the seams are glued with reinforcing tape or serpyanka mesh and sealed with a special putty for drywall. It also processes the recesses formed by the heads of the self-tapping screws.
• After drying, the seams are rubbed with sandpaper, and then the entire surface of the box is primed. The primer is applied in two layers. After it has completely dried, you can proceed to finishing.

Thus, it is not at all difficult to assemble a niche for curtains by mounting a box made of plasterboard. This design will definitely contribute to creating a unique design for your room. The process is shown in more detail in the video. Ask questions in the comments!

Kitchens with decorative cornices

A decorative cornice for kitchen furniture (also called a baguette) emphasizes the overall style of the set, gives it a finished look and further reveals the overall color scheme. It should not be confused with a curtain rod. This is a decorative element that is a harmonious cut of the kitchen set. It carries not only the aesthetic function of decorating furniture. If it is placed correctly, you can hide the empty space at the top and bottom of the set, build in rods for storing utensils, etc. The designers of the Maria Kitchen Studio will offer you all possible options for using a cornice for a kitchen set when creating a free individual design project .

Advantages:

• Air
  Thanks to the cornices, even massive furniture looks lighter and airier thanks to the “broken” top edge.
• Height
  Cornices in interiors and furniture visually raise the ceiling, making the room taller.
• Acoustics
  Cornices “dampen” unnecessary noise and improve the acoustics of the room, which is important in the kitchen: the sounds of a microwave operating, oil sizzling in a frying pan and water flowing from a tap will become much quieter.
• Compatibility
  Simple straight for minimalist kitchens, luxurious gilded for Empire style kitchens, ornate and massive for Baroque: no matter what interior style you choose, the cornice will always be appropriate.

Choosing a baguette for the kitchen

The material and color of the curtain rod profile depend on the same characteristics of the kitchen unit itself. If the kitchen facade is made of MDF or solid wood, then the baguette must also be selected from similar materials. MDF cornices can be made of several layers that differ in width. Baguettes made from solid wood can be milled. Due to this processing, completely different designs can be applied to them - from straight lines to curved intricate patterns. These furniture accessories can be subjected to various finishes: patination, varnishing, painting in the required color, etc. If you decide to decorate your kitchen set with such a cut, you can be sure that it will be fully compatible with all other elements of the furniture.

Types and purpose

Its functionality depends on the size of the furniture cornice for the kitchen. Thus, wide models can play the role of shelves into which additional lighting can be built or hidden behind them are pipes and wires that spoil the appearance. Both wide and narrow models can cover the visible part of the wall above the upper cabinets. With their help, you can hide the wall partially or completely. When the ceiling is completely covered, a wide cornice is installed, and the distance between it and the upper boxes can be covered with a back wall made of the same material. The curved shape of the cornice can follow the shape of the kitchen bar counter and make the interior more holistic. The baguette can be installed directly above the kitchen “island” or bar counter. In this case, it is mounted on the rack column.

Our works

The catalog on our website presents many design options for kitchens with cornices. These are headsets in classic, neoclassical, modern and other styles. Some of them are made from MDF. It can have different coatings (thermoplastic, enamel, tinting. Kitchen units made of solid wood and veneer are also offered, the facades of which are treated with tinting. The gallery of completed projects contains many real photos. They will help you determine what kind of kitchen you want to see in your home.

Taking measurements

Before choosing a curtain rod for kitchen curtains, you need to measure the width of the window opening and calculate the length of the curtain rod using the following formula:

• Standard length of the cornice (when mounted to the ceiling or wall) = width of the window opening + 30-50 cm.
• The length of the cornice when installed inside a window niche = the width between the two walls of the window niche - (minus) the thickness of the fasteners.

By the way, with the help of a longer or shorter cornice, you can level out the shortcomings of the window in the kitchen.

• A window that is too narrow will appear wider if you hang the curtain rod longer;
• A window that is too wide can be reduced by choosing a cornice exactly according to its width.

Kitchen to the ceiling or not

Some imaginary problems. Furniture is installed after the ceilings. Wall cabinets are designed with the same height and configuration. required for the selected design. The gap between the ceiling and the top edge of the furniture is covered with a regular ceiling plinth (you can even use foam plastic). Furniture makers, cat. you contacted - not in the subject. Write to me by email and I’ll make a project.

I agree, first the ceilings, when you paint the kitchen - everything can be calculated, so that there is more cornice to the ceiling and the distance of the working area is not 60 standard, but a little more. And the height of the upper cabinets is 85 cm - this is not enough, there is a maximum of 120 cm, but 90 is better and the cornice is 15 cm, so everything works out well.

We also did a kitchen with a ceiling. They invited a master, he measured everything and made the upper wall cabinets of the required height so that there was no gap left.

Theoretically, you can make the area with the doors 7 cm smaller, make a blind area there and cover it with a plinth, as in your photo.
