Varieties angular sets
kitchen sets, Even with the same configuration, they are significantly different from each other. These differences lie in the material used for frames and facades, design, size and filling. Let's look at these differences.
Materials for the manufacture of kitchen furniture
Functionality, design and practicality of kitchen furniture depends on the materials used. They must meet the requirements such as strength, durability, durability, ease of care and excellent appearance.
Frameworks for the lower and upper modules
The ideal material for the manufacture of furniture, including the carcasses of kitchen sets - natural wood. With proper treatment, it is durable, practical, has a beautiful appearance, but also environmentally friendly, which is important. In addition, natural wood furniture, if necessary, can be easily restored. The disadvantage is the high cost of the material.
Most of the product mix of modern furniture manufacturers make dishes with cases of chipboard. This material has the necessary rigidity, the relative strength, reasonable price and excellent appearance. However, if the ends of the body of laminated chipboard are poorly treated, there is a risk of swelling of the material from contact with water.
Another type of material used for manufacturing housings of kitchen furniture - MDF. It is characterized by a rich selection of color, texture, strength, increased resistance to regular drops humidity levels and temperatures. MDF It can be decorated with enamel, PVC film or plastic. This is the best option, since the kitchen of this material are in the mid-range between products from natural wood and chipboard.
The facades of kitchen furniture
If for producing carcasses important material with good wear resistance, strength and resistance to extremes moisture and temperature, for facades, in addition to the above characteristics, is of great importance and external view. We use a variety of materials and combinations thereof for the manufacture of doors and floor mounted units.
Elevations of kitchen units may be made of:
- an array of natural wood. Characterized a long service life, ease of restoration, aesthetics, environmental friendliness, as well as high cost and a requirement of careful maintenance;
- MDF with a decorative layer of PVC film, Enamel, plastic or veneer of different wood species. Such elevations have a high quality, long-life and an excellent appearance. MDF door with a plastic coating different wear resistance, strength and excellent appearance;
- chipboard. A low cost, wide choice of colors and textures. At the end of the material advantages. If insufficient quality processing ends chipboard can swell on contact with water, and it does not tolerate high temperatures. Frankly, this option is more suitable for those who have limited budget;
- combination of materials. Very popular frame facades using aluminum or MDF profile and insertions of chipboard, plastic, glass and rattan.
Working surface or table top
An important part of any kitchen units is an tabletop. The materials used depends on how it is practical, durable and attractive. In fact the work surface may be made of the same material as the module housing. Manufacturers offer countertops separate product, they may be from:
- Natural wood.
- Particleboard and MDF, lined with plastic.
- Natural or artificial stone.
In the first case, no comment, but as for particleboard and MDF, this is the most affordable and common options. natural and fake diamond - more expensive materials than listed above, but also look at them more attractive.
Dimensions and design features sets
Kitchen sets angular consist of different functional modules of different heights, depth and width. This allows you to create your own ensemble, corresponding to the dimensions of the room. The lower modules are manufactured with a depth - of 450-900 mm, height - 800 mm and width - 100-900 mm, while the wall cabinets, these parameters may be 250-300 600-900 × × 100-900 mm, respectively.
As for design, the corner kitchen can be with "wings" of the same length and a short side length. Also, there is a difference in the education angle. There are sets in which one side of the module just joined perpendicularly to the other, and in some models connecting member between the left and the right "wing" is a tapered block (upper and lower).
findings
The duration of the operation and functionality of kitchen units depends on the use accessories. For example, the quality, the manufacturer and model of the loop depends on the way the facade will be closed: tightly with cotton or smoothly and almost silently. The same applies to the guide for drawers. When selecting fittings we prefer steel structures and avoid the products from plastic and aluminum.
If you want the kitchen was convenient to use and functional, then choose a headset with special baskets (drawers and rotating). It is desirable that the kitchen furniture was and is additionally equipped with bokaloderzhatelyami roof rails hinged with fittings in the form of hooks, dryers and various shelves.
Advantages and disadvantages of the angular configuration of kitchen units
A headset regardless of the configuration have their advantages and disadvantages. Are not deprived of their corner and kitchen. Thus, among the advantages should be highlighted:
- the possibility of optimal placement plate, wash, the refrigerator on the principle of "the working of the Golden Triangle." Such an arrangement would allow to optimize the work in the kitchen and make it more comfortable. It should take into account that the distance between the sides should not exceed 2 m;
- modern corner kitchen sets are more compact and capacious than conventional rectilinear model, thanks to a number of different storage systems and various "smart" accessories;
- the possibility of zoning the kitchen space for working and dining;
- maximum use of corner space.
The disadvantages of kitchen sets angular configuration include:
- need more free space than the straight sets. In the event that you do not spend a lot of time preparing food and do not need the bulk storage systemsThe preference is to give a straight configuration;
- not the best option for narrow and large square buildings. In the first case there is a risk of overloading the space, which is already small. In the second embodiment disrupted ideal aspect ratio "gold working triangle";
- the complexity of integration in a complex configuration cuisine (niches, ledges, corners ducts). In the presence of these factors need to order a set of individual sizes, which, naturally, will significantly increase the cost of the product;
- without special hardware or something difficult to get out of a deep corner module.
Disposition of the functional elements in the corner of the kitchen unit
Angle kitchen units used in different ways. Depending on the customer, you can place a wash, plate, Traditional storage system and even fridge. Let's see how it looks in reality.
Cooker and extractor
installation cooker and hood in the corner of the headset - a relatively new way of accommodation of home appliances, but manufacturers quickly responded to it. Initially established common standard plates and exhaust systems, and then there were built-in, and adapted to the angle of the model. Manufacturers offer a wide range of household appliances like any configuration. This arrangement is convenient because you can have the different dishes with prepared vegetables and other products needed for cooking, on both sides of the plate.
The L-shaped kitchen set washing traditionally located in the corner. This is partly due to the fact that in this place there is a way out of all necessary communications. Kitchen sinks are made of stainless steel, natural or artificial stone or ceramics. They are overlaid on and cut, as well as different configuration (square, rectangular, round, oval and trapezoidal). Sink built into the corner of the headset, it fits perfectly into the top of the "workers 'Golden Triangle'.
Refrigerator, built-in corner L-shaped kitchen, is quite unusual and new. It can be as small units embedded in the headset under the tabletop and full equipment with a height of about 2 m. But the second option is more suitable for spacious rooms, so if you Hruschev time periodBoldly denies these layout.
The lower and upper corner sections kitchen units are deepest and capacious as compared with the other modules. This is an advantage and disadvantage as it is difficult to get anything in the enclosure depth. This minus can be easily corrected by using special hardware in the form of sliding or rotating single- or multi-tiered baskets (cargo). Some storage systems are activated when you open the front.
When choosing a headset corner kitchen need to consider many options and everyone decides for himself, it is worth to him to first place: quality materials, manufacturer, configuration, color, design or content of various furniture and household technology. It is worth noting that the used hardware functionality of the kitchen depends largely. Consider how to choose the L-shaped kitchen set for different areas of the room.
Set for a small kitchen
Due to the fact that the producers of modular kitchen furniture is made, you can pick up a set of modules to be placed virtually any area. For a small kitchen preferably selected modules are not wider than 600 mm, because the opening swing of the facade requires more space. Color of enclosure can be any, but the countertop and doors choose light colors.
The number of modules should be minimal. Home Appliances is better to choose a compact and embedded. To increase the number of storage systems can be installed oven top: between the top and bottom edge hinged modules.
The spacious kitchen gives more freedom in the selection of necessary furniture. So, the usual angular set may be supplemented barAs well as peninsular or island design that significantly expand the functionality of the kitchen. In a large room can be set larger refrigerator type Side-by-Side, and lower modules to build a wine cooler, dishwasher and butylochnitsy. In the spacious kitchen you can arrange a full dining area.
