Modular kitchens: kitchen units, wardrobes and complete headset

Modular Kitchen - one of the most convenient and popular option arrangement of the work area today. It looks normal set is collected from individual cases and cabinets, the amount and structure of which depend on the specific needs of the family. But they are interchangeable and are executed in the same style. This solution is really convenient for the owners because it allows you to collect a set, where there is no unnecessary elements. It remains only to understand the nuances and put the kitchen, "the puzzle" of the proposed pieces. And there are plenty to choose.

select the Features

First of all have to take into account that the dimensions of the kitchen modules as part of a separate series of standard. On the one hand this is a plus, because it gives the opportunity to combine different models of cabinets without breaking the overall number. On the other - the typical size elements headset can not be too precise fit into the dimensions of the room, leaving a portion of the unused space. This is not the best option for small kitchens, where you need to use every available centimeter, so as not to lose functionality. Although the angular arrangement of the headset, its wings do not necessarily have to cover the entire length of the wall. piece free area can be very handy if the furniture aisle ends, which would not hurt to do just a little wider.

According to its internal filling modular cabinets are very diverse. And often it is the only thing that distinguishes them from each other. All the rest: the size, design, texture and color have identical or at least perfectly. However, there are exceptions, but it all depends on the overall solution set. For example, the lockers may be hinged vertically or horizontally oriented, and floor pedestals not always available times the width.

Dimensions

Standard dimensions of kitchen cabinets width: 45, 50 and 60 cm. For models with double doors parameters, respectively, are doubled. Often there are modules width 75 or 80 cm - are from different manufacturers views on the concept of convenient size may vary. But the outdoor tables at the same parameters of height all try to do the same - about 85 cm in view of the cap and countertops (10 cm).

People with non-standard growth of the average values ​​of heights can not go, but for this adjustable legs provide modular kitchens.

An important parameter of the individual elements of the headset - it is their depth. Conveniently, the top row of cabinets were smaller than tables. At a depth of 30 cm and a correct choice of hanging height will be easy to get items from the top shelves. Appropriate outdoor module sizes should take into account the optimal worktop width - 60 cm, but to be 3-5 cm longer, so as to form a kind of canopy over the facades. Kitchen ready to go already with their own work surfaces. But if you want to save the maximum usable space in a small room, you can hardly find something non-standard depth.

materials

Often, manufacturers do not give us much of a choice when it comes to the furniture housing. The best that can be expected - is 2-3 color options for sidewalls made of laminated particle board or MDF. What to do - modular kitchen units are not individual design projects.

Although some details still there, but they relate to the individual characteristics of the assembly cabinet. Accordingly, there are two types of cases:

1. Glued - sold as a ready-made boxes, often even with mounted doors. All that remains to be done to the owner, is to place and hang them in their places.
2. Prefabricated modular systems - here you get a stack of individual boards assembled in a flat package with all fittings and fasteners. To make this "designer" full-fledged modules will need help of a professional builder or set of tools, together with the instructions from the manufacturer.

But the choice of modular façades already appreciate diversity. Here you will find the right color and design, realized with modern materials:

• Glass;
• Stainless steel;
• Aluminum;
• Plastic;
• MDF or particle board with various embodiments finishes - painted, laminated, etc. veneered.

Extremely rare, modular kitchen systems are equipped with wooden fronts, because they are not cheap. Housing made of solid wood - and did find almost impossible, although for heavy doors they are best suited.

Different modular systems and are complemented by the different designs doors. In addition to traditional hinged flaps, you may need folding or roll-up facades, and in some cases and folding - if the furniture set includes corner cabinets.

Forms modules

The number of different designs of furniture items that can be collected in one set, differs not only between manufacturers, but also within a series of the same brand. You also should find precisely those segments that will make your kitchen the most comfortable and functional.

Modular enclosures of the top row of the following types are available:

• On drying for plates - are typically located directly above the kitchen sink.

• Open boxes (without facades) - in fact it is one of the variants of hinged shelves. Increasingly, such modules are found in the kitchen sets with a horizontally oriented top row of cabinets.
• Direct cabinets with blind facades - suitable for those who keep on the upper shelves not only dishes, but also food.

Outdoor pedestals size always coincide with the dimensions of hinged lockers within the same series. According to this principle, it is desirable to select and - in pairs. However, in the first place should be guided all the same on the functionality of the furniture.

Manufacturers equip their ready-made modular kitchens these types of thumbs:

• Under the sink - this cabinet not to give up, because its design allows not only to establish any type of shell, but without the noise to bring her communication.
• Cabinet with shelves - is often a double-width and is designed to store large items (pots, pans, saucepans).
• Bedside table with drawers - a kitchen module is considered to be more comfortable and functional because it can hold more utensils, and all the interior space is used to the maximum.
• Combined cabinets - and have internal shelves and pull-out systems, making them in some sense universal.
• The housing with a niche for built-in appliances - depending on the type of the most appropriate technique for kitchen units may have different designs and dimensions, provide for the presence of the facade, decorative panels or absence of and another.
• Column or a pencil - a tall, narrow cabinet, equipped with open or closed shelves. Often, there are also combined models with additional drawers.

corner modules for the kitchen can be present in both categories, allowing to build a line of headset in the form of letters T or P. Also, there are "trailing" or end tables and wall cabinets that are installed in a number of extreme - they are made with rounded or beveled corners to be more compact.
