Main types of wardrobes
The sliding wardrobe, depending on its design, is of two types: cabinet case and built-in.
Cabinet case is like a cabinet in our usual understanding of it. The autonomous part of the home furniture, which can be easily moved according to the mood, is moved from room to room, and if you get tired, you can even take it to the country house. Nor will he lose anything. Such a cabinet is easy to disassemble and assemble yourself. Structural elements, such as shelves, inter-compartment partitions, bottom, as a rule, are made of lightweight chipboard. Cabinet wardrobes in the living room are equipped with a special system of guides and rollers, allowing the owner to easily open and close, externally massive door leaves.
Another thing - built-in wardrobe. This is a whole complex structure with attachment of this furniture to the floor, walls and even the ceiling. Installing it initially will even require a small project.Such wardrobes in the living room also require the furniture makers to take measurements of the dimensions of a particular room and a specific place of its future installation. Subsequently, such a built-in closet can be dismantled, but it can only stand on the same place and on no other. So it is individual and whimsical. However, its installation should precede certain preparatory activities. It is about the alignment of the walls in which it will be embedded. The ideal surface angles of the details of the built-in wardrobe are waiting for the same ideal parameters from the walls around it. The only relaxation is allowed in relation to the floor surface. Its irregularities can be smoothed by a panel specially placed under the roller guide.
One of the strengths of this option is its lower price.
What to look for when buying a wardrobe
People who already have a wardrobe in the living room interior know that very rarely, but in the event of a significant impact on the door, the lower roller located in the guide can jump off it, causing the door to warp. This is because there are two basic ways to mount the door directly to the cabinet. And jumping off is possible with the first method, which is considered the most economical and popular.
Method number 1. The mount has a support rail located below. The rollers, also located at the bottom, move along the guide, while the guide at the top is optional, providing stability. This, as already mentioned, is an economical, but less reliable option.
Method number 2. It is much more expensive - the door suspension with a support on the rail located above. The roller moves in the monorail, which fixes it in such a way that it can not come off in any way. Also provides protection of the grooves from possible contact with small litter and foreign objects.
What materials can be made closet compartment
- Fiberboard - fibreboard. Without going into the details of the production technology of this material, this is what can be said about it. This is compressed recycled woodworking production. Its greatest drawback is hydrophilicity, i.e. moisture absorption. When buying a cabinet, you should try to minimize the percentage of this material.
- MDF - the most expensive and high-quality material used in the manufacture of furniture, and in particular wardrobes. The wood fiber material is moisture resistant and durable.
- Chipboard - chipboard. Similar to fiberboard, however, special resins are added, giving the material greater strength and better water-repellent properties.
Characteristics of the wardrobe
Perhaps one of the main qualities of the wardrobe, to which increased demands are made, is its internal depth.After all, it should provide the opportunity for a neat arrangement of things on the shoulders. In addition, it would be right to provide additional space for the free movement of doors without any difficulty. And if in the closet you plan to hang fur things, then take into account the length of the pile. All this requires a depth of not less than 70 cm. In the event that it is an unaffordable luxury for the dimensions of the room, then the bar under the hanger can be placed perpendicular to the doors.
Of course, the most rational decision, since the cabinet has already been planned to be installed, it would be for them to occupy the entire space from floor to ceiling. But, unfortunately, hanging mezzanines are not present in every model. Namely, they are responsible for the convenience of using the upper shelves. In this case, if you do not plan to use the wardrobe also as an interroom partition, choose models lower.
The next characteristic that should be considered is the functional filling of the cabinet. The number of compartments, shelves, departments, etc. In this case, manufacturers offer both standard versions of such filling and filling with functions and accessories at the discretion of the buyer under the order. Of course, a special order will cost a little more.
In an effort to earn as much as possible and to satisfy the client as much as possible, which functional and accessories the manufacturer does not offer. From drawers for small items, metal mesh baskets, tie hangers, to mini elevators. There is such a device that allows you to raise the hanger with clothes on the 3-meter height.
Huge door mirrors
This opportunity provided by wardrobes is surely appreciated by fashionable women and fashionistas. A huge mirror from the floor and almost to the ceiling gives a super impression. The mirror is mounted using a special technology that keeps the fragments even in the case of a strong blow to it.
There is no such hostess who would not strive to turn her household into the most comfortable, cozy and quiet nest. But not all of them have access to the services of expensive designers, the purchase of the latest fashion trends and expensive luxury items. But this is probably not the case.
And the secret is that every object, every thing that is in this house, should be picked up with sincere attention and love. The cozy homely atmosphere is not the privilege of the rich, but the dignity of people with a big heart.
