Whole house customization acceptance is an important part of ensuring the quality and effectiveness of home decoration. During acceptance, detailed inspections need to be conducted from multiple dimensions. The following are the key points of acceptance:


preparation in advance

Preparation materials: Collect and organize in advance the contract, design drawings, material list and other relevant materials for whole house customization. These materials are important criteria for acceptance and can help you clarify the specific specifications, materials, colors, and other requirements for customized products.


Appointment time: Communicate with the merchant or installer in advance to determine a mutually convenient time for acceptance. Ensure that you or your authorized representative are present during the acceptance process in order to promptly identify issues and propose corrective measures.


Preparation tools: Prepare some commonly used acceptance tools, such as tape measures, level gauges, flashlights, etc. A tape measure can be used to measure whether the dimensions meet the requirements; The level can check whether the cabinet, door panels, etc. are installed horizontally; Flashlights can help to see details of hidden areas.


Acceptance items and key points

VISUAL INSPECTION

Surface flatness: Touch the surface of cabinets, door panels, etc. with your hand to feel whether they are smooth and flat, whether there are any unevenness, peeling, bulges, and other phenomena. At the same time, carefully observe with your eyes and inspect the surface for scratches, bumps, stains, and other defects in sufficient light.


Color consistency: Compare the actual installed product with the design drawings or samples to check if the color is consistent. Due to possible color differences between different batches of products, it is necessary to ensure that the colors of customized products in the same space are coordinated and unified.


Edge sealing treatment: Check whether the edge is tight, smooth, and whether there are any issues such as delamination, cracking, or curling. Good edge sealing treatment can not only improve the aesthetics of the product, but also effectively prevent moisture from entering and extend the service life of the product.


Hardware accessories: Check the appearance of handles, hinges, slides, and other hardware accessories for completeness, rust, deformation, damage, and other conditions. At the same time, pull drawers, cabinet doors, etc. to feel whether the use of hardware accessories is smooth, whether there are any problems such as lagging or abnormal noise.


Dimensional measurement

Overall dimensions: Use a tape measure to measure the overall dimensions of the customized product, including length, width, height, etc., and compare them with the dimensions on the design drawings. The error should be within a reasonable range. Generally speaking, the error in length and width should be controlled within ± 2mm, and the error in height should be controlled within ± 3mm.


Internal dimensions: For products with internal partitions such as wardrobes and cabinets, it is necessary to measure whether the internal dimensions meet the design requirements to ensure that clothing, tableware, and other items can be placed reasonably. At the same time, check whether the installation positions of partitions, drawers, etc. are accurate and whether the spacing is reasonable.


Matching with the surrounding environment: Measure whether the distance between the customized product and the surrounding walls, doors and windows is appropriate, and whether there are any gaps that are too large or too small. If the gap is too large, it not only affects the appearance, but also easily accumulates dust; If the gap is too small, it may result in unstable installation or affect normal use.


Structural stability

Cabinet installation: Gently shake the cabinet to check for firmness, looseness, shaking, and other phenomena. The connection between the cabinet and the wall or floor should be tight, and the fixing screws and other connectors should be installed in place without looseness or missing.


Door panel opening and closing: Repeatedly open and close cabinet doors, drawers, etc., check whether the door panels can open and close smoothly, and whether there are any problems such as jamming, deviation, or loose closure. At the same time, check whether the gaps between the door panels are uniform. Generally, the upper and lower gaps should be kept at 2-3mm, and the left and right gaps should be kept at 3-4mm.


Load bearing capacity: For some customized products that require load-bearing capacity, such as bookshelves, wardrobe hangers, etc., a certain amount of pressure can be applied appropriately to check whether their load-bearing capacity meets the requirements. For example, hang a certain weight of clothing on a clothes hanger and observe whether the hanger is bent, deformed, or not.


functional testing

Storage function: According to design requirements, check whether the storage function of customized products meets the requirements. For example, whether the layout of the hanging area, stacking area, drawers, etc. in the wardrobe is reasonable and can conveniently store different types of clothes; Can the hanging cabinets, floor cabinets, and pull-out baskets of the cabinets fully utilize the space and meet the storage needs of kitchen supplies.


Special features: If customized products have some special features, such as induction lights for wardrobes, electric flip doors for cabinets, etc., on-site testing should be conducted to ensure that these features can be used normally.


Ventilation and Breathability: For products such as wardrobes and shoe cabinets that require ventilation and breathability, check whether their ventilation openings and holes are properly set and whether the ventilation effect is good.


Environmental testing

View testing report: Merchants are required to provide environmental testing reports for the materials used in customized products, with a focus on whether the release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC, etc. meets national standards. Generally speaking, the formaldehyde emission limit in indoor decoration materials such as artificial boards and their products should meet the E1 level standard (≤ 0.124mg/m ³).


Odor assessment: During acceptance, you can approach the customized product and smell it. If there is a noticeable pungent odor, it may indicate that the product does not meet environmental standards. However, relying solely on odor is not accurate, and a comprehensive evaluation needs to be conducted in conjunction with the testing report.


Post acceptance processing

Problem record: If any problems are found during the acceptance process, they should be recorded in a timely and detailed manner, including the location and specific situation of the problem, and photos should be taken to retain evidence.


Communication and rectification: Timely feedback the recorded issues to the merchant or installer, and require them to rectify within the specified time. Negotiate with the merchant to determine the rectification plan and deadline, and sign a written agreement to ensure that the problem can be properly resolved.


Re inspection: After the merchant completes the rectification, a re inspection should be conducted to ensure that all issues have been resolved and the quality and effectiveness of the customized product meet the requirements. Only after passing the acceptance inspection can settlement procedures be processed with the merchant.
