Drying for dishes in the closet - an indispensable thing in the kitchen.
The drying cabinet for dishes has long and firmly become an integral part of any kitchen unit.
As for completeness, material, shape and size, and at the place of installation - in a wall cabinet or in its lower part.
Along with built-in dryers, removable ones are also used. But the latter are not widely used due to the fact that, despite the possibility of easy cleaning from contamination, due to the design features, they do not provide for adequate storage of dishes.
According to their device, regardless of the design and manufacturer, material and size, all embedded “drying” are quite similar. In fact — it is securely fixed, mesh design, ensuring reliable fixation of the plates in the position "on the edge."
In almost any design, “drying” is necessarily completed with a tray to collect and retain moisture droplets that roll off the dishes.
Modern non-removable dryers are made from plastic, polished stainless steel and aluminum, chrome-plated and enameled steel.
By type of installation modern built-in dishwasher dryers are divided into three main types:
- For placement in hinged front cabinets;
- For placement in wall corner cabinets;
- For placement in the lower floor cabinets.
The most common and familiar all option is “drying” for dishes in the front wall cabinet.
The width of the dryer takes into account the thickness of the cabinet walls, respectively, the width of the dryer itself is 32-36 mm less than declared. Accordingly, when choosing, one should pay attention to the marking, on the package either the chipboard thickness for which the product is designed, or the actual width of the product should be indicated.
By design, these dryers are similar to the front, but with a small addition in the form of half a full-size dryer. Such products are installed in an angular case in the L-shaped configuration.The undeniable advantage of such dryers is the ability to fully utilize the corner wall cabinet. The ease of use of such a dryer can not be compared with its frontal version.
Another noteworthy option for embedded dryers are products designed to be installed in the lower cabinets of a kitchen unit. Such dryers are carried out in the same way as ordinary drawers.
The advantages of this solution are many. For example, if it is impossible to place the dryer classically, that is, in a wall cabinet (there may be many such reasons - the presence of a large number of windows or other reasons limiting the number of wall cabinets).
Also the placement of the dryer in the lower "belt" of the kitchen is justified if the hostess, who will use the kitchen furniture, has a small height.

Pluses built-in dryers for dishes
The advantages of using built-in dish dryers are time tested and therefore beyond doubt.
- Aesthetics.
- Hygiene.
- Convenience store.
Drying provides the ability to easily access the desired container. All items are stored separately from each other, which allows to keep in drying not only ceramic or glass dishes, but also expensive designer clay, without fear for the quality of storage.
But there is in the use of built-in dryers for dishes and their disadvantages.
- The main one is the need to monitor the amount of water collected in the pan. Even if the drier tray is equipped with an automatic water drain system, no one is immune from clogging the drain tube.
- Another disadvantage is the increased requirements for the cabinet with placed “drying” on the quality of ventilation.
Rules for choosing a dryer in the closet
It is rather simple to choose high-quality “drying”. First of all, it is necessary to determine the choice of the material from which it is made. Plastic products are quite hygienic, but they lose a little in aesthetics.
Metal “drying”, covered with enamel, is somewhat cheaper than its chrome-plated counterparts, but they lose in reliability and durability.
Chrome products although more expensive than other analogues, but meet the requirements of quality.
Secondarily, it is necessary to carefully determine the size of the dryer being purchased. All modern models of "dryers" provide some freedom of adjustment.
Installing built-in kitchen "drying", you should follow a few simple rules. It is necessary to provide the possibility of removing and installing the pallet after the final installation of the dryer in place.
It is better to install the dryer in the middle of the cabinet, this will allow placing dishes of maximum size in it.
