What materials are the products made of and how to choose them correctly?
It should be noted that the presented device can be made of enamel, steel, tempered glass and glass ceramics. The simplest and cheapest are the first two options. However, steel is more durable than enamel, so it serves a longer time.
The built-in gas panel made of tempered glass and glass-ceramic is quite expensive. However, its advantage is durability, ease of use and ease of cleaning. In addition, such a product is very beautiful and can fit into any style decision of the interior.
Now we will deal with the selection criteria for the panel. First you need to decide on the dimensions of the device. This option depends on how much space you are willing to allocate for such a panel. Naturally, an important criterion is the size of the room itself. Also pay attention to where the device will be located, since in this case you will have to take into account the position of the power cord and the gas hose inlet.
Next, the built-in gas panel is selected depending on its functionality and the material of manufacture. The cheapest budget option is steel and enamel. However, if you use such a device often enough, we recommend that you buy a glass ceramic product, although it is quite expensive.
Also note the number of burners. For a small family, a small built-in gas panel (2 rings) is perfect. Otherwise, you can choose a device with 5 burners.
How to mount the device?
Built-in gas panels for the kitchen are mounted quite simply. First of all, assemble the necessary tool. To work, you will need a marker, tape measure, a drill with a jigsaw, as well as glue based on epoxy resin. Now you need to draw a figure on the countertop that will exactly match the dimensions and shape of the panel. All of these parameters should be as accurate as possible.
Now you need to drill holes along the edges of the figure, and you need to cut a niche for the panel with a jigsaw. This should be done very carefully. Next, you can try on the device. If everything is in order, then you can fix the panel with epoxy glue. Naturally, in the places where the device adjoins the countertop, it is necessary to put rubber seals. Lastly, connect the panel to the power supply and gas hose.
