Large or small area kitchen requires a rational arrangement of the furniture and appliances. Refrigerator - the largest household appliance, but can not do without it. In order not to violate its design make the integrated. So it will not clutter the space.
The kitchen fits a lot of devices to facilitate cooking. Furniture with the possibility of embedding technology is one of the most simple, but expensive way to the kitchen improvement.
New kitchen decorate the space. However, out of date, but the device is not working properly fit into the renovation. Conventional refrigeration unit can be inserted into the box, without spending money on expensive headsets.
To make the case for the refrigerator with your hands, you will need:
- pick up the design, size, parts boxes;
- allocate indoor space sufficient for installation design;
- select the material of the body, which will correspond to safety;
- prepare tools.
In step preparation must take into account that the cooling unit requires constant ventilation from below and from the rear wall. Besides vibration during operation of the domestic appliance cabinet will gradually lose stability, however contemplate predetermined gain walls reliable fasteners.
Making of a conventional recessed refrigerator
Modernize the kitchen design built-in device in four ways:
- Buy custom-made kitchen set for the cooling unit.
- Install the appliance between the furniture.
- Change the design of the doors and side walls, so that the refrigeration unit fit into the overall design.
- To make a case for a household appliance.
The first option is suitable for those who are willing to part with a large sum for the sake of convenience and aesthetics of the kitchen space. With careful measurements and preliminary selected finishing device will come to the kitchen decor. Negative - a high price for the space conversion.
The second method is less costly, however, need to remove one of the elements of the headset. This, in turn, affect the functionality of the furniture set.
Hide refrigerator, giving him the doors of the walls of the furniture look easy. However, to make it quite unnoticeable not work.
The variant with the cabinet manufacturer used by those who know how to wield a hammer, drill and other tools. The main costs spent on time and consumables.
Features
For the smooth operation of the refrigerator need to abide by the rules of thermoregulation - Air access to the heating element should be permanent to avoid overheating.
Embed the refrigeration unit in the closet need thinking through door openings.
To comply with these conditions are necessary:
- take care of the well-ventilated bottom and rear of the cabinet or the removal of the structure;
- prevent contact between the outer walls of the refrigerator with the walls of the surrounding conduit, the minimum distance between the surfaces - 2 cm;
- door cabinet and cooling unit connected by a hinge mechanism that did not need to open each separately.
Training
Serious approach to preparatory step will help to avoid problems with the operation of built-in refrigerator.
An important condition - to comply with the design dimensions: length, width and height of the enclosure element must exceed the parameters of household appliances at 2-5 cm. If you decided to leave the box lower part to its stability it was better, for the ventilation of the domestic appliance from the bottom cut out a hole, and then put him on the catwalk-eminence.
In order not to disturb the strength of the enclosure, to remove the carrier optionally rear wall. But on the whole surface of the drilled holes for air access to the refrigeration system.
Material boxes can serve as chipboard, MDF, gypsum board. With the latter option is difficult to work. MDF is suitable for those who have the skills to work with this material. Budding suitable chipboard - processing and assembly of parts require a minimum of experience.
If you plan to install the built-in refrigerator in an existing niche in the kitchen, also consider the distance between the wall and the room device.
Manufacturing cabinet
Before the production, built-in refrigerator box to prepare the following tools, accessories, equipment:
- the base material;
- metal angles, hinges for connecting walls and doors;
- awnings, furniture handles;
- nails, screws;
- hammer, screwdrivers of different sizes and types;
- hacksaw or jigsaw;
- drill;
- pencil, tape measure;
- material for external cladding (to choose from - a self-adhesive tape, plastic panels, wallpaper, paint, varnish).
Then you need to apply markup neatly sawed parts. All ventilation holes are drilled to an assembly of parts. If they are not sufficient (e.g., a box is located under the half cabinet or in a recess), buy additional fan which warn breakage inside the device structure.
After treatment, cut edges future furniture parts interconnected brackets and screws, attached loops hang door. It is important to deepen the screws all the way, to constant vibration emanating from the refrigerator, the construction is not weakened.
The final stage - finishing panels, film or painting walls. At the request of the facade decorated with different elements.
Built-in refrigerator cabinet - a good solution for kitchen design. People without experience in furniture manufacturing will be difficult to build in equipment. The main thing to take into account the rules - strict adherence to the size and ventilation of the bottom with a rear wall, the choice of suitable materials for the base and finish.
If we approach the matter seriously, clearly planning out all the steps, the result will meet expectations.
