Rails for the kitchen: how to choose a kitchen railing?

Rails for the kitchen will give you an extra storage space necessary utensils, as well as any small, but very useful in everyday life things. They are always in sight, but let you keep everything you need at your fingertips. Therefore, they are required and competent organization and an attractive design. Themselves reylingovye systems are simply the crossbar fixedly mounted on the wall, so that their beauty is more dependent on the production of the material. However, here it is just a saying, "All is not gold that glitters."

Of what are they doing?

Since the rails in the kitchen are often subjected to heavy loads, they are made of strong metal tubes. After all, these pens are not only hang tack and ladle, but heavier items (pots and pans). Selected metal determines the cost and spraying - design reylingovoy system, so it is necessary to consider the possible options:

• Chermet - usual steel coated polymeric matte paint brilliant chrome or nickel alloy. Spray can imitate bronze or even gold, but since this is an economy version, it will be short-lived. The outer shell is not only fulfills a decorative function, but also protects the steel from corrosion and water. In terms of the strength of such kitchen rails special raises no objections, with the look also okay, especially if it is a skilful forging. But sooner or later, the coating will be damaged, and then begin to appear on the holder rust stains.
• Stainless steel - it has problems when in contact with water does not occur as chromium, molybdenum, nickel and other alloying elements, creating an oxide film on steel, already introduced into its structure. Such pen-holders may be safely operated in the kitchen, wash water using household chemicals - nothing will happen to them. The worst thing that can happen - shiny surface covered with scratches, but on the durability of the structure is not affected. Variants of decorative coatings remain the same: gold, bronze, brass.
• Wood - is only used in ceiling suspension systems, roof rails, where there are several bars. These can often be seen in the photo island kitchens.

If you like chrome or stainless steel, but do not want to constantly rub rails on to shine or upset about the scratches, it is best to choose a matte holder. Spraying of bronze or gold can also go with a similar effect, but it will be more noticeable scrapes.

Bronze, brass, gold and copper are not really used in the manufacture of kitchen holders - too soft these metals. But they are great for matt or glossy spray. As a basis there is still the same stainless steel with the addition of at least 10.5% chromium.

Determine the style

Choosing rails for the kitchen, remember that they should ideally fit into a specific interior style. These comfortable handles are always in sight, and therefore attract attention. But if the design of the holder is not set correctly, you run the risk of grease impression of the whole kitchen design.

Here are a few tips that will help you not to make a mistake:

• High tech - here without shiny or matt chrome definitely can not do, so look stylish pen-holders from Italy or the Czech Republic. And if you want to give the interior an even more original and technological view, it makes sense to choose the rails with integrated lighting made in Germany. In the photo they look too cold, but in fact their soft glow can create a feeling of comfort.
• Classic - in this kitchen is more relevant bronze (preferably antique), sparkling or matt gold, if you create the interior of the canons of aristocratic design.
• Provence - use the same non-ferrous metals, but give up the gold. It is better to buy something less noble: bronze, copper or brass. Incidentally, the last is very fond of the company to operate from Italy Lemi - in its catalog a lot of photos of brass holders.
• modern - this is where your imagination is virtually unlimited. Choose any material connection with the rest fittings (handles cabinets, appliances).
• Country - ideal if you or someone you know is able to make the forged railings with his hands. However, such systems can now be bought over the Internet, viewing photos, or offering your sketch. In the extreme case suitable model with a matte-coated bronze.

If you can not decide on the design of the holders, just look what metals are present in your kitchen (furniture handles, appliances). Here for them and choose the right railing.

Design and features accommodation

Rails for the kitchen can go as a separate structure or provide for the possibility of assembling a long system. Accordingly, they are placed in a particular order:

• In one holder in individual functional zones (one pen over the sink, one - the plate).
• In the form of a long continuous beams, repeating a line of furniture set. Such structures if their angular complement compounds may even niche and round protrusions in the kitchen.
• In several levels. If you have the upper part of the wall is not occupied by a cabinet or shelf, you can create an original "rack", securing long pen holders one above the other.

And of course, we must not forget about the suspension systems for island kitchens. It is not just the crossbar, and the whole lattice, followed by rail and cling to a variety of hooks. Designed such rails for the kitchen of a large size and are able to withstand quite a serious weight heavy pans and saucepans. However, they must be properly secured in a ceiling, reliable and perfectly straight. It is better to give preference to an expensive but robust systems from Germany.

There are also vertical rails, which are mounted between the floor (or another horizontal plane) and the ceiling. Most of these systems come with a chromium coating and the complementary functional bar. But many of these beams does not hang up, so they usually come with longer fixed sects, hooks, handles and baskets.

Sami beams may have different versions of the profile:

• A hollow tube with a circular cross-section (typically 16 mm diameter) - the most common type, is almost a classic.
• Flat metal rack - hollow or solid - is very often found in the lines of Germany.
• The square tube with a longitudinal groove into which are inserted hinged elements (hooks, baskets, towel holders, dryers, etc.).

Actually, the kitchen itself railing - a piece guileless. Much more interesting all the things that you can hang on it.

Producing countries

Italy - it employs the world's best interior designers. That's why everything about beauty, is subject to the canons of local fashion. Just in Italy produce a truly unique rails made of brass, bronze or gold-plated. Ferrous today in favor, especially if it has an old antique look. However, in Italy covering on furniture accessories applied to the traditional way of spraying, which is slightly shortens the preservation of beauty.

Roof of Germany are considered the most practical, reliable and of good quality, although apart from chrome - glossy or matt - Local manufacturers almost nothing else do not recognize. Special love of professional chefs have earned the system the German mark Kessebohmer. Here, the coating of chromium is applied by electroplating, which ensures a reliable coupling with the base metal. Although the products are, of course, turns out more expensive brands from Italy. Also well-known manufacturers from Germany, offers luxurious rails coated "glossy gold" and "brushed nickel".

The Czech Republic also made excellent reylingovye systems, however, do not have to wait for some trendy design of local brands. Nevertheless, the quality of furniture from the Czech Republic is consistent with products from Italy, and the price is a little lower. Especially our customers liking Tescoma company - the best manufacturer of cookware, utensils and accessories in the Czech Republic.
