  1. Get a remodeling team to do the fabrication on site.
  2. Get a professional display case making factory to customize.
  3. Self-installation

Let’s compare the difference between them:

  1. The factory does not have on-site production of display cabinets on the cabinet damage

Small renovation company due to the materials placed in a mess, the cabinet of the low protection measures, may accidentally cause fatal damage to the display cabinet, but with jerry-built to make up for mistakes, this phenomenon is very common; in the factory customized display cabinets, there are advanced production equipment to make your customized display cabinets in one fell swoop, so that the harm is reduced to a minimum, and customized display cabinets in the factory, if you take the goods found to be damaged, you can return the product! This is obviously in the factory customized display cabinets obviously have to rest assured.

  1. Environmental issues

Often in the field production of display cabinets, the entire space is pandemonium, so it is inevitable by all kinds of harmful substances, purification and radioactive substances around, such an environment for a long time on the body will cause great harm. And factory production is all completed in the factory and the introduction of environmentally friendly materials, can improve indoor air quality, and factory production than on-site operation reduces the workload, but also reduces the site operation of the noise generated by the renovation of the garbage, thus reducing the impact on the surrounding environment and the neighborhood.

3.Construction time and material saving

Because factory production is a whole set of process, so it is more time-sensitive, the construction period is greatly reduced. Generally speaking, the factory production is about five days shorter than the construction work of the decoration team. Factory customized display cabinets can do almost 90% of the degree of material use, because of the accuracy and standardization of machinery. This is impossible to achieve in the case of manual on-site work. And on-site construction will undoubtedly waste a lot of materials.
