Furniture wagon - wardrobe

Variety of furniture with sliding door system - a wardrobe, one of the most popular models that fit equally well in the nursery, and in the bedroom and in the hallway. Coupe - not only stylish, combined with almost all areas of interior design, but also practical - take up less space than a hinged model.

Constructive cabinet depends only on the request of the owner home and allotted options under him space.

If there is a niche, you can make a built-in wardrobe, which requires no external rack - door system is mounted directly to the ceiling, floor and walls. Also, instead of using a blank niche of the room in the house by building closet wall to wall along the entire height in the end of the room.

Ancestors of the coupe were built, even cabinets and doors, covering niche and drives off to the side on rails attached by clips, common in America in the middle of last century. In our country, cabinets with sliding system was introduced in the late nineties, but the peak of popularity came in the two thousandth and continues to this day.

Door wardrobe system consists of a set of components:

• Frame - aluminum or steel profile on the perimeter of the door leaf, which provides stiffness (not an essential element, but its presence is desirable).
• Guide - rails or tracks, the upper and lower different form factor.
• Components - rollers, supports, repulsion system, latches, etc..

By type of fastening sliding doors It should be divided into two types - with a support for the lower guide and latching the upper track. In terms of resistance and durability of the system gain with a support on the bottom, they are more prevalent than the upper door fasteners. Everything you need for closet manufacturers sell in building hypermarkets, you can pick up elements of the system to fit your preferences and input data.

Filling cabinet depends on its destination - most often it is convenient shelf under the bedding and things, additional boxes for linen, compartments with rods for wardrobe items: clothes and shoes. However, at the owner's request, can be anything you want for the sliding door, which makes numerous shelves. Number of doors depends on the size and functional design, usually two or three leaflets, but you can set four or more.

materials

Today most wardrobes made of laminated chipboard (chipboard). From conventional chipboard it differs protective and decorative coating layer laminated to the surface, simulating different wood species. Laminate not only increases the decorative material, but also protects it from external influences, and we have - from the formaldehyde used for gluing boards. For the production of furniture using particleboard two classes - E1 and E2. First class allocates a minimum number of pitches and conditionally safe, while the second is prohibited as a raw material for the furniture in the children's rooms.

To minimize the harmful effects of tar, sections on the details of the cabinet should be sealed with a special edge.

One of the members of the forum learned this by contacting the state structure.

About the fact that the furniture releases harmful substances, says a lot - you need to roll up all the ends of the edge details and fonit will not (tested, rented furniture SES).

Laminated edge prevents separation resin retains slice from external influences and improves the appearance of the product, but somewhat inferior plastic edge on practicality and durability. The plastic cladding has a higher strength and rounded edges, which significantly reduces the likelihood of chipping and scratching. The standard height of the sheet - 1830 mm, width is 2440 mm, 2500 mm, 2750 mm, 2800 mm, depending on the manufacturer.

Facade of the cabinet can be carried out from the base material, and a decorative - mirrored glass, orgalitovym, plastic, with inserts. Unlike hinged doors, the maximum leaf width of sliding door almost limited, but is too wide may eventually warp and a too narrow will start popping up from guide. The optimum width of 90 cm steel systems, there are aluminum - 120 cm. But when choosing a facade of the limitation is not so much the size of the valves, as their mass - Door Systems designed for a specific load, and particleboard and square glass square, hardboard or plastic, weighs differently. If you exceed the allowable limit for the guide, they will break down quickly.

Less popular models of cabinets made of wood, as even made of laminated boards, instead of an array, is much more expensive and independent manufacturing.

How to make your own closet 

At home, you can use their own drafting skills, transferring to paper the desired functionality and size to create a sketch of the future construction. And you can call for help editing, built-in, such as SketchUp and the like, or to draw drawing online designer. Before Painting / Drawing project, is required to remove the tape measure right size with a niche (for built-in) or to determine the parameters on the basis of the future location and functional.

It is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the sheets to remain at the cutting out a minimum of waste.

Sliding door system creates certain limitations enclosure depth - a generic mechanism requires a distance of about 100 mm free working space.

Therefore, the design takes into account not only the thickness of the sheet, but also clearance for the system. If the cabinet is to separation of the upper clothing, the calculations take into account the minimum depth - 50 mm, plus indent mechanism. If possible, it is necessary to add another 10-20 mm to the door and walked freely things not hesitated.

Validating lexanik85 He took the designer and created a three-door model with dimensions 2500x2000x700 mm. Wardrobe partially embedded - shelves one of the compartments mounted on the wall, top - directing to the ceiling, instead of the cap - a lower guide rack to compensate for unevenness of the floor. Lateral intermediate rack - with fixation to the floor, cabinet - with side and upper shelves and a main compartment for hangers with clothes, no drawers.
