Wire basket for the kitchen: the judicious use of space

The problem of the lack of sufficient space in the kitchen is familiar to many owners of apartments, especially in premises in the Khrushchev, Dormitory and studio apartments. Even if you set a relatively large kitchen, the problem is not always solved, because to get items from the very deep drawers are not so simple. In this case, the owners come to the aid wire basket for the kitchen that are easy to integrate even into the classical boxes.

The advantages of modern kitchen drawers to older versions

Boxes for kitchens, which opened on the basis of a matchbox, has long gone. After all, many remember how hard they push (this is often with difficulty) and how often jammed. If inadvertently ordinary drawer pull sharply, there is a likelihood of jumping down out of the nest and then spilling the entire contents. Of course, this system is far from perfect, so all the modern kitchen units originally equipped with retractable kitchen baskets, the main purpose of which - to optimize space.

It is interesting!Modern sliding wardrobes kitchen occupy the same space as the old model, but they can fit much more kitchen utensils.

Systems built boxes help rationally use internal filling cabinets, taking up hard to reach places where the classic versions of the boxes can not be placed. For example, using sliding fittings can efficiently use the space above the bin, which usually remains unclaimed, hollow or filled angle having difficult access.

The main advantages of sliding systems for kitchen

The main requirement for the modern kitchen - to provide free access to things. This will help implement the wire basket for kitchen cabinets. Of course, their presence does not replace the presence of wall cabinets, which significantly saves space in the kitchen. However, the items placed at the back of the cabinet, it is impossible to get without using a stool, especially if the person is not very tall. In this regard, the system of drawers for the kitchen is considered to be more functional, because all the frequently used items are on hand level, so it's easy to find the necessary thing.

Modern kitchen units are functional systems within which is located a convenient pull-out arrangement. In this set can be retractable cabinets in standard floor, and the hinged boxes. When hinged construction equipment required to carry out measurements and rationally boxes carefully to the nomination, they do not overlap.

Carried out such items in standard materials, which are used for the manufacture of conventional kitchen furniture. It also uses metal, plastic, particle board, wood and MDF. Extension of such systems is provided by special guides which are fixed to the side walls.

Important!If the guides have become a bad run, it is better to use the services of a furniture company, which is engaged in manufacturing kitchen, to correct the problem. Otherwise, the guide may be damaged, resulting in the need to replace them.

Pull-out systems are different dimensions that match the kitchen units. This variant of the organization of space is considered to be indispensable, especially in small apartments. Even a desk-dresser in the kitchen, equipped with pull-out cabinets, able to replace the bulky standard furniture.

This is ensured by the fact that the interior of the pull-out shelves for the kitchen is divided into sections, which allows to efficiently use the usable area in the room. These shelves can be nominated by one section or all at the same time, the latter option allows you to immediately see the entire content of the cabinet and easily find the desired object. Depending on the form and destination boxes can be used to store things such as:

• cutlery;
• tableware;
• spice;
• cutting boards;
• bottles;
• bread;
• small household appliances;
• household chemicals;
• articles for cleaning;
• bins.

Wire basket for the kitchen: the disadvantages

Deficiencies in storage drawers for kitchen is not so much, and they are unlikely to overshadow all the advantages of modern systems, but still need to read them to avoid unexpected problems.

The need for additional fasteners. Before mounting the accessories needed to carry out preparatory work, because all the guides are mounted inside the facade, and only after they are installed drawers or shelves.

Take into account that it is better to spend a little more money and install high-quality accessories that will provide full opening cabinets without extra effort and will last longer.

The main types of mechanisms for drawers: roller accessories

Sliding fittings has differences associated with the installation method. Boxes where they are fixed, pre-equipped with additional elements on which will depend on the subsequent reliability of the entire system. Roller guides are considered to be the easiest and cheapest option. To establish such a structure requires a guide roller mounted on the inside of the box, and the second - on a sliding system inside the facade. During the installation of the system are combined, creating a movable structure.

Important!Roller mechanisms capable of withstanding a load of not more than 20-25 kg, including the weight of the box.

Roller guides are the most unreliable option that can withstand heavy loads. The reason for this are the individual plastic parts. When you open the box will be clearly audible moving roller guide sounds. If inadvertently strongly push the box, it closes with a significant impact. Therefore, a carefully retract it to prevent accidental slip-off rollers of the grooves. Another significant drawback is the lack of any adjustments and options. The benefits include:

As a result, created the design, which differ a great capacity.

Important! The maximum weight that is calculated on ball mechanism, reaches 30 kg and more - it depends on the quality and the manufacturer.

The main advantages of ball constructions are considered quiet and the ability of the system installation closersThat exclude option loud slam. Compared with roller accessories such construction will cost 30-40% more expensive.

Another quality fittings is metabox which represents the mechanical elements mounted on the walls and wire basket. A feature of the system is considered to be the possibility of a three-dimensional adjustment. In addition, benefits include:

• ability to withstand the weight of 30 kg;
• smooth and silent stroke;
• the possibility drawers on full or partial length.

Metaboxes price above the cost of roller and ball sliding mechanisms, but this disadvantage is compensated by a high reliability and a long service life.

Tandemboxes has a view of a case, which is made according to individual dimensions kitchen. A feature of this embodiment sliding fittings is considered not only the presence of the guide side, but the bottom of the box. This mechanism allows the structure to retain a higher weight and provides noiseless opening / closing.

• vertical;
• corner.

The main advantage of such designs is that they are installed wherever there is nothing more to install. Even if the width of the pull-out basket 300 mm, then this space is enough to store there, household chemicals or other small container.

Drawer Kitchen corner baskets are also popular because they are well organized two joint walls, where it is very inconvenient to place the usual furniture, when you install from the far corner which is difficult to get the necessary items.

The optimal variant of the angular sliding systems for the kitchen - the so-called carousel that provides angular extension panel with baskets. This design represents a rounded flange. They are fixed on a fixed vertical rack, which allows them to rotate freely around its axis. To allow the installation of the facade closing, make cuts on the shelves.

Separately allocated sliding system for corner kitchen cabinet. They have the form of side boxes, the front panel which is bent at an angle of 90 °. Each part of the facade thus has an independent handle. To use such an installation variant for the smooth movement of the system need to improve the bit inner cabinet wall.

Typically, such a system is a continuation of the main table top, which is returned and does not occupy excess space if necessary.

Another unusual decision is considered to be the organization of the drawer-nesting dolls. For the title it can be assumed that the structure consists of several different sizes of boxes that are arranged one in the other. Inside, the largest of which is installed special fittings, through which will be fixed retractable design. Thus its faces occupy only the bottom part of the space, and the second box is embedded in the upper part.

If fully push a big box, it will provide access to the other. This option is considered to be interesting in terms of appearance, but in relation to the organization of space is inefficient, because in one big box fit more things than the box-matryoshka.

Another embodiment of a sliding system - placing under the worktop of the ironing board, which is different folding structure. Retracts and extends it on the principle of cutting boards or countertops more. Such a method of optimizing the space is considered to be a plus in a small apartment.
