Making a glossy facade with your own hands. Facades for the kitchen do it yourself what you do with old furniture

The price of finished kitchen furniture is made up of the price of materials, facades and furniture accessories. Almost half of the total value of the construction of the kitchen constitute the cost of its production. And if the kitchen is non-standard, has more than four walls or they are not at an angle of 90 degrees, they will have to pay extra for the development of a special project.

Obviously, it will be very profitable to make the kitchen on their own. The advantages of this solution are obvious: a significant cost savings of workers' services and the opportunity to choose the style and design of the kitchen project and to create an interior to premise any size and shape.

Chipboard is one of the most common and affordable materials, it is perfect for the future kitchen.

The kitchen made with his own hands from the chipboard will allow not only to take into account the wishes of all family members when planning it, but also will not particularly hit the pocket.

Cuisine project

The start of any work is preceded by a project that includes drawings of a future kitchen with the specified dimensions. In the photo below you can see one of the kitchen projects made of chipboard.

Furniture facades have their own standard sizes. They are presented in the table below (the cross at the intersection of values \u200b\u200bmeans a standard size).

Step-by-step instruction

When collecting furniture, with your own hands, you need to adhere to a certain order of action:

1. Book a tabletop, glass facades, slab with opening.
2. Purchase accessories.
3. Pick up glass facades and other details.
4. Treat the edge to the ends of the parts.
5. Attach the guides to the sidewalls of those tumbs that will have drawers.
6. Attach the loops to the doors.
7. According to drawings, collect boxes using confirmates.
8. Hit the doors, collect and paste drawers.
9. Set the lower stands, install the worktop and attach it to the stands with screws 4 * 30, cut the angle must be treated with the edge for table tops.
10. For the upper lockers fasten the mounting bus, calculating so that the bottom of the locker is at a distance of 140-150 cm from the floor.
11. Sightseed lockers are tightened with sectional screeds.
12. Cut holes under the working surface and washing, install them.
13. Cut and install a wall profile to the tabletop using screws 3 * 25.
14. Adjust the gaps in the doorway.
15. Install the base.

In addition to the overall kitchen plan, you will need schemes with dimensions of each individual element. Below is an example of cutting the kitchen cabinet.

Before starting work, pay attention to the moments that must be taken into account:

1. Behind the cabins should be left 4 cm of free space (for communications and as protection against wall curves).
2. The front stands are attached to one line.
3. Supports to buy only with the clip, and the base is removable.
4. Guides for drawers are better to install before assembling the couch.
5. The mounting bus is advised to mock without breaks along the entire length.
6. A wall profile is sealed with silicone.

Production of facades for the kitchen with their own hands is a good way to save on buying a kitchen headset. The old furniture can be given another look, if you replace the doors of the Tumb and lockers, install the flaps that open up, supplement the headsets with trendy parts and beautiful fittings. And even the furniture facades themselves can be done manually from relatively cheap and affordable materials.

Replacement of kitchen facades - a wonderful way to update the kitchen set

Furniture facade - the face of the kitchen and the main component of its style. Decorating the headset homemade items must be performed only when there is a great desire to perform work with high quality and carefully, because the wrong assembly can spoil and the best materials.

For self-making facades from array or shaped bent doors, work skills will be required to work with a tree, MDF or chipboard, as well as the availability of special tools.

In a simpler version, self-updating the kitchen headset with furniture facades is limited to the removal of measurements and installing the updated door and panels of drawers to the designed places. Ready parts can be bought and buy and order in furniture stores. There is also a sawing service and adhesion of selected MDF or LDSP panels. At home without a special tool, gently cut the laminated plates is difficult.

But even buying or ordering panels in the store will cost cheaper than the purchase of finished cabinet furniture. Therefore, updating the kitchen by replacing facades is a common designer reception.

Production options from different materials

Most often, the facades for the kitchen do it with their own hands from wood. It is a convenient processing, affordable and cheap raw materials for the manufacture of materials for the furniture industry. Kitchen facades should be resistant to detergents, temperature and humidity, and wood and laminated panels meet these conditions.

With their own hands, the facades are easy to make from such materials:

• wood array;
• plywood;
• pressed (chipboard, LDSP, MDF).

It is not necessary to work with the listed types of furniture raw materials, it is not necessary to cut the wood, cut the wood with an electric bike or manual hacksaw.

Plywood facades resemble massive: the upper layer of birch plywood has a pronounced structure of the tree, some types of material have a moisture-resistant coating that gives smoothness and a slight shine. For the manufacture of facades from plywood, it is better to choose thick varieties (2-3 cm). This will allow you to install mortise loops for furniture, and the doors will be durable. The edge of the facades to close with a special ribbon, selected in the tone of the wood of the front side.

If there is no thick plywood, you can make beautiful facades using the technology of the panel door. At the same time, for the frame, the board is used with a thickness of about 2 cm, and the inserts are performed from plywood.

With the help of an additional decor (molding, painting, patination or boring), it is possible to achieve a good result, with your own hands, making updated facades for kitchen furniture.

From MDF.

The simplest facade of the facade from MDF is the removal of the size of the door and the panels and the order of products in the furniture store. Selecting shields with a coated coloring, the measurement results must be given to the master. On professional equipment, the material will fit and stick edges. The customer will only remain pick up the facade prepared for the installation and hang them with their own hands.

When self-cutting laminated MDF panels fail to avoid chipping on the cutting line. Therefore, with a folding need to make a 2-3 mm allowance throughout the perimeter of the facade. After sawing the edge to handle emery paper, testing sections.

For the stickers of the edges, it is better to use the pvc tape of the desired shade. The material is easy to fix on the edges of the facade with a hot iron, stroking the tape through dense paper. If it is possible to use a milling mill at home, then it will be possible to edge ribbon with a spike.

It is necessary to approach the choice of materials for the kitchen, it is necessary to approach: the plastic coating does not protect against water, and in conditions of high humidity, such facades are quickly losing the form. When applying such a type of panels, the edge must be made efficiently, so it is better to entrust the work of a professional.

Facade of chipboard

Choosing a cheap chipboard without coating, you need to buy a film for the facade finish. You can cut a simple chipboard with an electroll bison, and the finished facades are placed by the film.

LDSP has a coating resembling the wood of valuable breeds or painted in different colors. Such a material is better cut in the workshop, providing the master sizes of panels and places of installation of the loop. With independent, the loose facades should be received as follows:

• apply the contour line on the front side of the LDSP;
• sharp knife through the ruler cut through the laminated layer of material;
• split a chipboard with an electric lobby in a cut line.

The edge of the facade of LDSP is also carried out as well as the processing of MDF.

Glossy

Facades with glitter belong to the MDF group. To cover such models use:

• pVC film pasted on vacuum equipment on the panel with milling or without milling;
• acrylic plastic with an edge of PVC or aluminum;
• special technology staining enamel and varnish.

Make such a coating at home is impossible. To make a fashionable glossy facade for kitchen furniture, you need to purchase a ready-made material. The cutting and edge sticker is better to order in the workshop, since it will be damaged with your own hands with your own hands, and the facade will not look as exquisite as on advertising photos.

When operating glossy facades, careful attitude towards products will be required. On a shiny surface, the slightest pollution or traces from the fingers. The surface is easy to damage with insignificant mechanical exposure, and the film coating is unstable and to the effects of high temperature.

Handles are not only a functional detail of furniture. They complement and decorated facades. In styles with strict lines (minimalism, high-tech), the handles sometimes serve as an underlining element: use large, shiny, but simple on the outlines of the fittings details. Such handles resemble rails and are located both vertically and horizontally.

The ease of fashionable heads with glossy facades or the modern style made in the style is better not to lose additional accessories. For such kitchens, ways to open without the help of the handles are invented when you press the door. But sometimes such cabinets are equipped with special fittings, masking a handle for an aluminum edge.

For rustic and luxurious styles, it is customary to choose pens under ancient, coated, imitating the old bronze or made of non-ferrous metal. These are frosted cast products that must be combined with the decor of the facade.

Handles need to be installed after hanging the facades on the stands. So that the entire line of the handles is placed at the same height above the floor, you can pull the cord along the entire front of the lower tier. On this line, you need to make tags to install the handle on each door. Also arrive at the installation of the handles on the boxes or mounted cabinets.

How to correctly set the handles on the facades in each individual case, written in the instructions for these products. Holes for their installation can be made in different ways: through in the plane, closed in the ends or somehow differently. When buying a handle, it is better to purchase several pieces for repair during operation, since these products can be removed from production, and it will be difficult to find a replacement if necessary.

What do you do with old furniture?

The one who made the kitchen headset to order, and did not buy ready-made in the store, focusing only on his appearance and the size of the cabinets, perfectly knows how difficult it is to make a choice in favor of a particular material for facades. Cases of cabinets are most often made from LDSP, but much more variety of furniture facades for the kitchen - MDF, plastic, aluminum, an array of natural wood are different, the same, LDSP.

Typically, the kitchen furniture is chosen at the construction or repair stage intended for her room to properly place sockets, bring the tap pipes and air ducts. But it is no less important to think about how the kitchen will look like in the end.

Types of kitchen facades

Not focusing on the appearance and style of execution, we will tell about what materials are used for the manufacture of kitchen facades.

Array of wood

The facades of kitchen furniture made of natural wood are durability, environmental friendliness, the ability to create any style and, of course, prestige. Accordingly, the price of such facades is the highest.

They are necessarily covered with lacquer or glossy, as any other coatings (wax or oil) are not able to protect the facades from kitchen loads and frequent washing.

The following wood breeds are most suitable for the manufacture of such facades:

• Acacia,
• Ash.

Doors made of birch or coniferous wood cheaper, but have insufficient strength.

As a natural material, the tree consistently reacts to changes in humidity and temperature in the room, under the influence of which it can be deformed or reversed. Therefore, it is not recommended to wash them with water, as well as clean using a steam generator. You can only rub with a damp cloth without using cleaning products.

For reference. At the same time, the repair of facades of kitchen furniture is possible only if they are made of an array.
Facades from all other materials can only be replaced.

MDF

The largest variety of MDF furniture facades are distinguished for the kitchen. This is a durable homogeneous material, perfectly preserving the geometry of products.

And the appearance and operational characteristics of such facades depend on the type of coating.

• Polyurethane enamel. Facades for kitchen furniture with such a coating are called painted. They are distinguished by the largest variety of colors and shades, and the surfaces can be attached to various effects: metallic, pearl, pearls, collapse.
  But this is the advantage of painted facades for the kitchen at the same time and their disadvantage, since if necessary, replacing one damaged facade to get into the rest of the rest will be very difficult. Very often in such cases, it is necessary to repaint everything.

• PVC film is the most popular coating of facades MDF. After milling, the product is laminated by film with a method of hot vacuum pressing. Kitchen furniture facades in the film can be monophonic and with a pattern, imitating wood texture, leather, metal, or other materials.
  Their main disadvantage is the fear of high temperatures, under the action of which the film can dug or deform.

Council. Do not put on the tabletop under the top wardrobes, a working double boiler, a multicooker or a kettle, otherwise you will spoil the facades with your own hands.

• Veneer. Pretty effectively looks like a furnace facade for a kitchen, lined with veneer, especially with a milled plane.
  It should be known that with such a treatment that exposed in the process of milling MDF is tinted with a veneer color chosen.

Furniture facade of veneer

• Acrylic plastic. Even in the photo you can see how healthy furniture kitchen facades with such a coating look great. But it is very afraid of scratches.
  The disadvantages of such facades include the weight and risk of their deformation, as the acrylic can bend the MDF under it.

Aluminum profile

These are facades of aluminum profile with various filling:

• Ordinary glass;
• Glass with photo printing;
• Acrylic glass;
• Plastic;

The profile itself is colored by the anodizing method, as a result of which its surface becomes very resistant to scratches.

The most popular profile colors:

• Matte silver;
• Matte gold;
• Bronze;
• Chromium;
• Champagne.

For reference. For convenience of operation, kitchen facades are often supplied with lifting mechanisms, but the instruction does not allow them to apply them on heavy facades.
And the aluminum profile with filling from acrylic glass has a very low weight even with impressive sizes, so it is often used for upper modules.

Ledp.

The cheapest facade for kitchen furniture is a facade of laminated chipboard. It may look like very fiscal and stylish enough due to the location of the textures, use the handles suitable for style, dilute by aluminum facades. Most of all suitable for kitchens in modern style<.

Attention!
From LDSP it is impossible to make radius facades.

Very popular plastic facades for the kitchen are also produced from LDSP by sticking plastic sheets on the blanks. A variety of its textures, colors and decors is enormous, you can choose for every taste. But we advise you to make sure that the order is made as plastic. Just try scratching the sample, and if it easily managed to you - look for another option.

Conclusion

Do not forget that facades Furniture for kitchen should be not only beautiful and suitable for the interior in color and style, but also practical. The quality of the materials used and the correct care is also affected by their service life.

The kitchen set is considered one of the simple types of furniture in its own assembly for inexperienced masters.

The situation for recreation room and the hall, as a rule, needs a professional approach, the use of extraordinary materials.

Today we will talk how to make a furniture assembly with your own hands.

Application of LDSP as the main building material

Today, a natural array in its pure form is almost impossible to meet in the situation. After all, natural wood headsets are considered expensive and fairly elite furnishing objects. Therefore, the array is replaced by the material available on the price category such as LDSP.

In most cases, the thickness of these plates reaches 16 mm. Sold and greater thickness sheets. Colley material is carried out on machines.

It is possible to work at home, using an electric logby, but not to avoid irregularities and chips. After all, it is almost impossible to sculpt the lobsik smoothly at home.

Edbles

One of the weak points of this material is considered to be spice, since it is through it that moisture passes inside the easiest. In this regard, due to poor-quality protection, the ends of the ends are not excluded. Therefore, it is preferable to cover the ends to the edges, as in the photo of the furniture, which is made with their own hands below.

There are several varieties of edges in the modern market:

• Melamine. This is the most affordable value of the edge of excellent quality. Its gluing is possible independently using the usual iron.
• PVC is an excellent edge selection. Its gluing is available exclusively on the machine.
• ABS edge resembling the edge of PVC, but only created from natural material.

Facades

The facade and door of the situation, including garden furniture with their own hands, are performed from the best quality material.

The facade is considered a separate piece of furniture and, as a rule, is made under the order.

In the case when the facades have unusual forms, they can be carried out for a long period of time.

Types of facades

Since the main function of the facade part is decorative, respectively, it is proposed in a large variety. They differ in the facade by material, as well as externally.

MDF laminated is a pressed and sufficiently moisture-resistant material. Usually the surface is processed under a natural array.

However, even the most durable film after the expiration of a certain period of edge time cracks, and also depart. The main advantage of this material is the available cost and speed of production.

In addition to the facades of the deaf type there are variants of the figure of the stained glass window. The glass part is fixed on a special overlay.

Wood facades will enjoy for physicians of natural materials, but their cost is quite high. In addition, environmental friendliness is also controversial.

Note!

Painted facade piece under enamel. It has a significant minus - chips, deformations often appear on the surface.

Once it was exploited due to an attractive catchy shade, however, with the advent of brilliant plastic, everything is radically changed.

Glass facades made from aluminum are suitable for kitchen space in the style of High-tech. It looks fashionable, but quite problematic in production, as well as the installation. Unusual accessories are applied to fastening.

Boxes

There are many methods for the production of boxes for heads, like furniture from pallets with their own hands. One simple is the assembly around the perimeter using LDSP.

If it is necessary to create an original facade, it is necessary to fasten the folding on the frame bulk part from the inside.

In addition, the facade is often attached to the eccentrics in the form of one of the drawer walls. In this case, the main task is not to assemble the desired box, but in its competently fixing.

Note!

Doors

There are built-in type wardrobe and separately worth it. Internal filling happens to the discretion of the owner, it is possible to carry out the restoration of furniture with their own hands.

The main element of each cabinet - sliding type door leaf. It is not recommended to save on this detail, it is important to acquire good quality fittings.

In the main cabinet is equipped with several doors consisting of a frame in which the elements of the scenery are inserted. Door canvases can be collected from several materials separated by an aluminum profile.

The movement of the canvases is carried out according to the special guides that are installed in their own hands, as the furniture from cardboard is created personally.

Conclusion

If you approach the issue of creating and installing furniture objects with full responsibility, the situation will not only be qualitative, but also affordable, differ exclusivity, feature.

Photo of furniture do it yourself

Note!

1. Main material: LDSP

Surprisingly, the wood in pure form is the lotion of the dear "elite" furniture. In the cabinet furniture, the tree is almost never found.

The main material from which the cabinet furniture is made is laminated chipboard (LDSP). Usually it is 16 mm thick plates. More on sale there are sheets of LDSP thickness of 10 mm and 22 mm. 10 mm LDSP is used as a filling of the deaf doors of the wardrobes, and 22 mm - for shelves in bookcases, where high resistance to loads is required, and the usual 16 mm LDSP may seriously be fed under the weight of books.

Sometimes 22 mm parts are used as elements of design of furniture products, introducing originality in the design (for example, on top to the usual 16 mm cabinet cover, you can put a protruding cover with a thickness of 22 mm more dark color). Such sizes are economically appropriate only with mass production, since it always accounts for a whole leaf of LDSP for cutting. Usually all parts of cabinet furniture (except doors and facades) are made from 16 mm LDSP.

LDSP is crucified on special machines on guides. Of course, at home, you can sprinkle with an electroller - but at the same time the edges of the seam will be "torn", and the seam itself will certainly wipe from side to side. It is almost impossible to achieve a straight saw.

2. Edges

Spil LDSP - represents the most ugly and vulnerable place - moisture is easily penetrated through it and the material is exhausted and deformed. Therefore, all the ends of the LDSP are recommended to cover with special edges. There are several types of edges:

. Edge ABS - Analogue of the edge of PVC from the other, more eco-friendly plastic. In addition to environmental friendliness in recycling, the rest of the differences are rather invented by marketers. In our city is not even for sale.

. Wood and veneered facades - We will delight lovers of natural product. True, in the modern plastic world, such facades are quite expensive. Yes, and evil tongues argue that varnishes and impregnations in this wood so much that the name is only the name. At the very least, manufacturers strongly recommend regularly to care for such facades with special chemicals.

. Facades under Enamel - painted facades. The main drawback is: the coating is very easily scratched, deformed, and does not have resistance to chemicals. Previously, they were used only due to saturated bright colors. With the advent of acrylic plastics in the market, the demand for painted facades has decreased significantly.

. Aluminum Facades with Glass - Made in the style of high-tech. Beautiful and modern, but are complex in the manufacture and require non-standard fittings of fasteners, often installed simultaneously with the production of the facade.

4. Rear walls and bottom boxes.

Usually, the rear walls of furniture, as well as the bottom of the boxes do from LDVP . At the same time, its facial laminated side looks inside the box or cabinet. The color of the LDDD is selected under the color of the LDVP used. Sheet thickness is usually 3-5 mm.

One time was fashion to plant such a wall on the brackets with furniture stapler. It is incorrect - the brackets hold a limited time, and no matter how strong the design does not seem to you immediately after the assembly - after a few years under pressure or deformation, it may well dispense. Especially incorrect to plant the bottom of the boxes, which constantly experiencing loads on the separation. So forget about the furniture stapler - it is applicable only in upholstered furniture.

Sometimes the DVP is inserted in groove - But for this technology, this groove requires professional, and at the same time accurately to the millimeter observe all the size of the product.

Sometimes the rear walls and bottom of the boxes are made from LDSP. It is practicing to create " röber rigidity"In high closets, and in those boxes, where there will be a very large load (20 kg and above). The back wall of the cabinet can be provided with one or more ribs of rigidity from LDP, and the rest of the space fill in LDVP.

5. Countertops

Table top - The horizontal working surface on which people constantly work (prepare food, eat, write).

Most office tables and cheap dining options are limited to the tabletop of the same material as the table itself. It may be a 16 mm chipboard or a better than 22 mm, crushed by 2mm PVC edge.

Special countertops are used for kitchens. Usually they are a leaf of chipboard with a thickness of 28-38 mm, covered with plastic by post-forming technology. Such plastic is quite durable. If the cut-top box is a common chipboard, if a blue-green is then moisture-resistant. Correct kitchen countertops are equipped with a silicone strip - the so-called " kaplesball", Which does not allow the spilled liquids to drain down, getting into the kitchen furniture.

The weak place of such countertops is the edges of sleep. They are usually edged with melamine in the color of the tabletop when it is cut. But melamine is afraid of moisture, and often the edges come into disrepair after the year of operation. Therefore, for the ends of the countertop it is recommended to use a special aluminum profile, Pre-pre-preaching the surface of the surface of heated with silicone sealant. There is also a profile for the joint of the tabletop at right angles - without their sawing and fit into each other - this profile is very convenient to apply in angular kitchens.

No holes in the table top are not accepted (they spoil the flat surface of the table and then the dirt clogs in them), so such a tabletop is usually screwed from the inside self-storms to horizontal struts. In this case, the screws should not be too long, so as not to pierce the cover through.

More qualitative countertops are counted from natural or artificial stone. Products made of natural stone are very heavy and require additional care due to the porosity of the material. Artificial stone is deprived of these flaws. In addition, practically any dimensions and profile can be given a tabletop from an artificial stone. The only disadvantage of such countertops today is their price.

6. Location of details

We approached the sections that you will form a final understanding of how to make cabinet furniture. So, first let's talk about the mutual location of the details.

Detail - This is any element of cabinet furniture: bottom, lid, sidewall, rear wall, facade, shelf. So, every detail can be nested, maybe overhead.

Consider this thesis on the example of two kitchen cabinets. One will stand on the floor (on the legs), and the other is hanging on the wall.

Outdoor cabinet:

As can be seen from the figure, it is best when operating voltage (and for an outdoor cabinet it is directed from the cover down) natural way It is transmitted through wooden parts to the place of contact of the product with a support - on the cabinet legs (see the "correct" scheme).

In the second, the "incorrect" version, the voltage is transmitted to confirmation (This is such a special furniture screw, talk to them a little later) - and the effort will constantly try to snatch it on the breakfast of the wood.

Second example: hinged cabinet.

Here, it's the opposite: the force is applied to the bottom shelf, which are on it things, and the fastener point of the cabinet is above the point of the effort. Naturally (shaking of wood slabs) We will not give an effort to top. Therefore, the voltage will definitely be transmitted through accessories.

If we do here the same design as in the outdoor cabinet (see the scheme "wrong") - all four confirmation will experience a constant effort on pulling out From wood. Therefore, from two evils choose the worst: let the confirm confirm materials experiencing effort on a break (see the "right" scheme).

At first glance, it seems difficult, but trust my experience: after the third designed and assembled product, you will begin already intuitively, without thinking, determine where one or another item should be located.

7. Furniture fasteners

Furniture fastener is methieswhich serve to connect furniture parts. Most often, such a compound is performed at a right angle of 90 °. All modern types of furniture fasteners are very well described, with a detailed description of their advantages and disadvantages. Let's go briefly for those with whom will come to work.

. Evrovint (confirmation) - Special furniture screw. The most common fastening of cabinet furniture. Especially good confirmation is suitable for newbies - as it does not require an accurate additive of parts - drill a hole for it already "in place", in the process of assembling the product.

Have you noticed that for connecting parts almost never applied screws? That's right, confirmates are replaced in furniture business. Due to the ideal for 16mm LDSP form, they have a significant larger thread area and keep much stronger than self-tapping screws.

For drilling holes for configmatics required special drill - Finding such in our provincial city was not easy. In principle, if there is no such drill - it is not scary: you can do in three twisters of different diameters: under the thread, neck and confirm hat.

Confirmates are several sizes. Usually used 7x50. When drilling under the confirmation, special attention should be paid to the perpendicularity of drilling - so that the drill does not "convince" and did not pierce the wall of the drilled part.

Confirmates are twisted screwdriver with hexagonal bat or manually special key-hexagon. Confirmates performed under the Cross Score are not the right configmatics! Such screws you can never tighten until it stops.

The main aesthetic lack of confirmates - although the remaining flush, but still noticeable, hats. In order to hide them use plastic plugsinserted into the hats. The color of the plugs are selected in the color of the LDSP.

. Eccentric ties - The most correct and modern type of furniture fasteners. Does not leave traces from the face of the product, only with the inner. The main disadvantage - requires very accurate drilling, including alignment of holes on both sides and restricting the depth of drilling (so as not to drill through).

For drilling additives under the eccentrics usually use special drill Forstener. Manually do it really - but it is quite difficult, it is better to have a drilling machine.

If you collect furniture, the ends of which will not be exhibited for everyone to review, and will be hidden (for example, a kitchen cabinet or a wardrobe in niche) - then there is no sense to bother with eccentrics. Use confirm.

8. Furniture fittings

Another loops can be adjusted at the height and depth of landing. This allows you to more accurately align the door of your locker. There are still contributing loops - when, when closing the door, the facade is recessed inside the cabinet (rarely applied). There are a number of loops for glass doors, in which it is possible to firmly clamp the glass without drilling.

Buy only high-quality products of well-known manufacturers (from inexpensive can be recommended Chinese Boyard.) - To then not have problems with them in the future. Of the serious world manufacturers - Austrian Blum But he is expensive and still need to try to find.

9. Boxes and their guides

There are many ways to manufacture furniture boxes. The easiest is to make the perimeter of the box (sidewalls, the front and rear wall) from LDSP. This method is described in detail and with illustrations. The only thing that I do not agree with the author is instead of nails for fastening the bottom I would use the screws.

If a beautiful facade is required, it is screwed by self-drawn to one side of the box in the lining, as shown in the diagram in section 5 (the tabletop role in this case will perform the facade of the box).

But collect the box is the floor of the case. The main thing is to make it open and closed. That is, put it on the guides.

Guides for boxes There are two types: roller and balls.

. Roller Guides are usually white, attached to the bottom of the box. The box on such guides travels on two rubberized rollers, raises due to an unstable position, and at the point of maximum exit, it strives to fall out from the guides from any sharp push. Such guides are bad in that a strongly loaded box will try to overturn from any position when it is put forward more than half. The only advantage of such guides is the price: about 30 rubles For a couple.

. Sharic Guides - or as they are usually called "guide full extension". These guides are a telescopic design capable of increasing its length exactly twice. Inside, they contain several dozen balls (both in bearings), which provides the box smoothness box. The guides are tightly fixed by self-drawers and to the closet and to the box, which eliminates the possibility of tipping, and does not give the box to "get away from the rails" regardless of the load and the velocity of the jerks.

The process of installing a box on ball guides full extension is well described. The price of such guides - about 100 rubles For the kit. It is very hurt to see when in the kitchen with a total value of more than 40 tyrn, the manufacturer squeezes and sets roller guides, saving 70 rubles. I want to know whether to take and remove for such a pork attitude to the buyer. So if you order the kitchen - immediately stipulate what type of guides will be at the boxes.

. Metaboxes - The decision first proposed by the Austrian company Blum . The idea is to save the master from the need to secure the guides to the box, and sell ready-made side walls, with built-in guides, holes for the facade and grooves for the rear wall. Having bought the metabox to you to hang the facade on it, put the rear wall and the bottom (by the way, many metaboxes are designed for the bottom of the chipboard and not DVP).

Guides in metaboxes are roller. Accordingly, metabox - the product is not complete extension. The cost of metabox firm Blum: from 300 before 500 rubles. Now many firms, including Chinese produce products with the title "Metabox", which has already become nominative. Here is a good article on the calculation and assembly of metabox.

. Tandempoxes - A more technological solution to the same company. If the metabox rides on roller guides, then tandembox - on ball guides full extension. The number of balls in them is several hundred. Tandempox is usually completed with an automatic closer and shock damper (Blumotion system) - which provides surprisingly pleasant and soft closing of the box (always complete closing) from one shock.

For high drawers, tandemboxes can be completed with one or two additional limiters. Tandem boxes of white and stainless steel are made. The latter, naturally, is twice as expensive.

If you bring to be on the furniture exhibition, delay at the Blum stand. You can not even imagine how pleasant and high-quality can be familiar furniture fittings. But it is worth tandembox appropriate: 1000-2000 rubles For the kit.

10. Doors for wardrobes

The last one worth telling in our furniture liberation is wardrobes. In general, the kitchen and the wardrobe are the most affordable and interesting for the beginner furniture masters of the field of activity. Well, not counting, of course, bedside tables and shelves. Living room furniture and bedrooms usually require a serious design approach, the use of non-standard or hard-made materials: natural wood, tempered glass. With kitchens and with wardrobes - everything is simple and understandable.

The wardrobe has two options: with walls (side and rear) and without them. The last option is simply a part of the room (usually niche), inside which you can do everything that pleases: shelves, drawers, hangers, and a bunch of other interesting things. Here are listed and photos of the most common elements of filling cabinets.

The most interesting and attractive mechanism in the wardrobe is his sliding doors. It can not be missed here, and it is necessary to acquire only high-quality accessories - otherwise it looks with falling and joining doors so that you yourself will not be happy. In our city, only sliding systems of the domestic company sell only Aristo.However, according to reviews are quite worthy.

The wardrobe usually contains two or three doors. Each door is a cloth concluded in a special frame from the decorated aluminum profile. In this case, the door does not have to be homogeneous - it can create from two or more different canvases connected at any angle using a special profile.

Traditionally, the frame profile for the doors of the wardrobe is designed for the thickness of the cloth of 10 mm. For the manufacture of deaf doors, 10 mm LDSP sheets are commonly used. The designer alternative to him can serve special sheets rattan (decorative braid), bamboo, and even artificial leather (on a duty from chipboard or MDF).

With the help of special silicone seals in the profile easily inserted 4 mm mirror. The main thing is that those who will cut you mirrors for the closet, do not forget to apply a special elastic film on its opposite side, which will hold the fragments in case of impact. Even if the child breaks the mirror surface, it will significantly reduce the likelihood of clamping.

In order for the doors to go, the guides are attached from below and on top. The lower guide wardrobe provides opening / closing the door, the top - provide fixation of the door relative to the depth of the cabinet. The lower rollers are usually made of plastic, equipped with a shock-absorbing spring and a screw for adjusting the height. Top rollers have a rubberized surface.
