Simply Unusual: How a Chair Transformed Cement Kitchen Construction

The construction of cement cookers has been a popular practice in many regions due to its durability, low cost, and customization. However, an unusual approach using a chair as a key tool has revolutionized the process, making it simpler, more efficient, and more accessible.

This article will show you how this method can help you build a cement kitchen with ease and style.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, make sure you have the following materials:

1. Cement and sand
   • For the main mixture that will form the base and structure of the kitchen.
2. Water
   • In sufficient quantity to achieve the right consistency in the mixture.
3. A sturdy chair
   • Preferably made of metal or rigid plastic, which will be used as a mold to shape the structure of the kitchen.
4. Rebar
   • To add support and durability to the cement structure.
5. Wooden or plywood boards
   • To create additional molds or flat surfaces as needed.
6. Tape measure and level
   • To guarantee precision in dimensions and stability in construction.
7. Basic tools
   • Such as trowels, trowels and buckets for mixing and applying cement.

How to use the chair in the process

1. Seat selection
   • Choose a chair that has a stable base and the right size according to the desired design for the kitchen. It can be used to shape curves or even as a temporary support during drying.
2. Space Preparation
   • Place the chair in the place where you will build the kitchen. Be sure to level the ground to avoid slopes.
3. Initial molding
   • Mix the cement with water and sand, and pour the mixture around the chair. Use wooden boards to hold the mixture if necessary.
4. Reinforcement and drying
   • Insert rebar into the mix for stability. Let the structure dry for at least 24-48 hours.
5. Final details
   • Once dry, remove the chair if it will not be part of the final design. Smooth the surfaces with a trowel and apply a decorative finish if desired.

Additional tips:

• Test before setting: Before pouring the cement, check that the chair is well positioned and stable to avoid complicated adjustments later.
• Play with the design: Chairs with unusual shapes can bring creative and original designs to your cement kitchen.
• Use paint or tile: For a more aesthetic finish, consider painting the surface or adding decorative tiles.
• Consider ventilation: If your cement kitchen includes space for a stove or grill, be sure to include adequate openings for ventilation.
