Radial wardrobe

Today, with the improvement of their homes, more and more people prefer functional furniture, relegating standard products to the background. And this does not surprise anyone, because modern elements of home interior combine the characteristics of their predecessors, but at the same time they are more unusual and improved in manufacturing both in terms of design and in terms of functionality and practicality. A vivid example of this is the radial wardrobe, which rose on a pedestal and won the hearts of many of its owners.

Radial cabinets have a fancy geometry with smooth and flexible bends, they are equipped with a unique device system and are considered to be truly the crown of the creation of modern furniture factories.The dimensions of the structure, its internal structure completely depend on the individual requirements of the future owner, and also takes into account the style, size and purpose of the space where the product will be located. Let us consider in more detail the characteristics and properties of radial cabinets.

Not without reason, buyers in furniture stores give more and more preferences to radial cabinets. Ideas in the interior

• The design of the radial cabinet is made with the slightest bends and curvature of the ceiling and walls, which is why with these products you can align the geometry of the room and hide the shortcomings of construction works.
• Features of the cabinet and the variety of shapes and sizes allow you to set the design in both small and spacious rooms.
• The system of door movement is unique in its own way, and most importantly, silent.
• Special production methods make the design of the radius model durable and light.

The advantages of radial cabinets include:

• Versatility. Thanks to its flexible forms it fits easily into any room, the design can be placed both in the corner and along the walls.
• Functionality. Practicality and convenience of the internal compartments make the wardrobe spacious and spacious, in the design of radial wardrobes the usual shelves are not found, its internal content can be varied and equipped according to the requests of the owner.
• Spaciousness. Special storage system allows you to place a large number of things and accessories.

• Aesthetics. The original design, concise forms and a minimum of occupied space complement the interior and even fix the installation or interior flaws.
• Comfort The convenient and easy-to-use roller mechanism for moving doors easily allows you to open and close doors repeatedly without fear that the system will fail, it is more reliable than standard loop fastenings.
• Rationality. Radius cabinets do not have a centimeter of unused space; it turns previously inaccessible areas, for example, the subceiling space, into functional and spacious storage compartments.

Radial cabinets can be presented in several forms:

• Bulging. The first type of construction is most often located in those spaces where it is not possible to organize a zone with ordinary furniture, for example, in the hallways.
• Concave. The cabinet's concave shape visually expands the room, smoothing out the corners, giving the interior greater depth.
• Combined. The wave-like design is a combination of the first two forms. Such products elegantly complement the design of the bedroom or living room.

• Semicircular. Cabinets of this form are equipped with radial shelves. Of all types of radial cabinets, these are the most futuristic in shape and fit perfectly into modern interiors, but their disadvantage is a relatively large amount of required space for installation.
• Corner. The most popular products among buyers have exactly the angular type of arrangement. Often the corners in the room are empty, while the rest of the space is cluttered with furniture. It is these models that most economically save and organize the functional space in the house or apartment.

But, regardless of the form, all types of radial cabinets are divided into such construction types, as:

• Corpus. The product is a complete item, like standard cabinets. Model after assembly is easy to install, while maintaining the ability to move or disassemble the structure.
• Inline. This type of products is also provided with various storage modules, its main difference is that it is mounted in a wall or niche, saving space in the most optimal way. Built-in wardrobe can not be purchased ready, it is created on an individual project, taking into account the space for placement.

Consider the pros and cons of each design in detail:

• Built-in wardrobes allow full use of free niche space. Built-in models are considered the most rational products, as they allow to use the space previously inaccessible or inconvenient in location.
• These products can be made independently, which will significantly save the budget.
• You can decorate the facade of the built-in closet in any direction of the interior design, which allows not to disturb the established style of the room.

Disadvantage lies in the fact that often before installation requires installation work, and if the owner decides to move,then it will be impossible to translate the construction. By the way, it can not even just move within the same room.

Body models are the antipodes of embedded ones, their advantages consist in greater mobility. But at the same time, they do not allow using space as much as possible due to the presence of side and rear panels, in fact, this also makes the product more expensive.

Sliding wardrobes have a multi-level internal design, which is equipped with various types of modules for storage:

• The boxes. The compartment with drawers allows you to store small items of clothing and accessories, it can be underwear, T-shirts or T-shirts, jewelry. They allow you to save space, as well as systematically store things.
• Shelves. The standard type of storage niches, most often they are placed at the top or bottom of the structure, which allows you to store items that the owner rarely uses, such as extra bedding or pillows, boxes with seasonal shoes, etc.

• Rods. Hangers for hangers are the basis of any closet and occupy at least 30% of the entire storage system, especially if it is a model for a hallway or dressing room.
• Built-in mirrors. In radial cabinets, not only the facade of the product, but also the reverse side of the door can be a mirror one. In addition, there are modular mirrors, which are advanced by the user, they can also be equipped with built-in lights. This is a very convenient, practical and stylish design solution.
• Additional elements. In addition to the basic elements, the storage system can be equipped with such modules as a tie-box, a brimwoman, a hanger for belts, an ironing board, a laundry basket, etc.

The radial case though is the ingenious creation of designers, but in the basis has rather simple mechanism which is called as radial system. The design contains guide rails, which, in turn, move the rollers attached to the door.

But depending on the location of this system, the products are divided into:

• top mounted;
• lower suspended designs.

The first type of motion system is most often found in embedded models. Reiki mechanism attached to the ceiling, respectively, the weight of the whole structure rests on the ceiling. In this aspect, there is a significant drawback - not every ceiling structure can withstand such loads.

Lower-hanging mechanisms carry the load on the floor, it is a universal system, as it is suitable for any models of cabinets and any premises.

Regardless of the location of the mechanism, the principle of its operation remains the same. Three soft rubber rollers move along the rails, the ball bearings together with the rubber tire allow the mechanism to close and open completely silently and smoothly. Rails can be made of aluminum or steel.

The second type is used more often on lower slats due to greater weight and strength, steel slats are also cheaper, but they do not look as aesthetically pleasing as aluminum. It, in turn, is distinguished by reliability, lightness and elegant appearance, which looks favorably on top-hung structures.

When buying a radial cabinet, you should first of all make sure that high-quality and eco-friendly materials, subjected to modern methods of processing and production, have gone to make it, which can guarantee that the product will meet the stated requirements and will last for many years.

The most common materials for manufacturing include:

• Chipboard from which the body is made.
• Fiberboard is used to make the back wall, more often the color is chosen in neutral tones - white or cream color or in the color of the facade.
• The design itself rests on plastic legs with adjustable height, which allows you to visually fix floor irregularities.
• Shelves and drawers are made of chipboard.
• The front of the cabinet is instructed by various decorative materials.
• For rods use chrome pipes.
• Radius system is either steel or aluminum.
• Doors can be made of chipboard, lacobel, glass, mirror cloths, etc.

Material production - 80% of product quality, the remaining 20% ​​- assembly. The price of the product also depends on the material. Consider their properties, placing the names in ascending order of value:

• Chipboard - the most popular, economical and common material, it is practical, easy to process and easy to maintain. Decorated by imitation of stone or wood.
• Glass - used for decoration, practicality is low, as is the functionality.
• Rattan - relatively expensive coating, environmentally friendly and high quality, high level of wear resistance and protection from moisture.

• Decoracryl - a type of decorative glass with a matte surface, durable and resistant to damage.
• Wood - elite products, luxurious and expensive material are made from natural wood species, and this will be highly environmentally friendly and will last for many years.

Material for manufacturing has a great influence not only on the quality of the product, but also on its design. Manufacturers have long ceased to be limited to wood or plastic for the facade of the design, today it is often possible to meet completely mirrored, instructed by leather, decorative glass or stone, cases and doors. But the most popular, bright and stylish design is considered to be photo printing, which allows you to decorate the product with any images.

Photo printing is of two types, each of which has disadvantages and advantages:

• Film or solvent printing technology basically contains drawing on a special film, which, in turn, is glued to the facade of the product. Solvent printing has a democratic cost, but at the same time it is poorly resistant to mechanical and chemical influences, adversely affects the film and sunlight.
• Analogue of film printing is ultraviolet. This method of printing, although expensive, is at the same time the most practical option, which is not prone to fading and color fading.

The design of wardrobes is a wide field for the flight of imagination of both the owner and the designer. You can choose from a variety of models with floral prints, 3D-drawings, animations. There are cabinets with airbrushing, sandblasting, carving, in addition, it is possible to develop your own product design to order.

Perhaps, special attention should be paid to models with a mirrored facade.This is not only one of the most popular options for decorating the facade, but also an original way to decorate your house.

For the manufacture of mirrored doors, a layer of a mirror 5 mm thick is used; a protective film is glued onto it preventing it from splintering. With the help of a mirror cabinet, you can visually enlarge the space, add more light to it. At the same time, it is impossible to limit oneself to simply installing a mirror; there are several options for design solutions that allow creating an incredibly beautiful facade decor:

• Sandblast engraving. This is a method of drawing pictures and ornaments on glass that allows you to create a whole piece of art from a mirror surface.
• Diamond and laser engraving. They have a slightly different method of application, but as a result they give an image similar to sandblast engraving.

• Fusing Soldering various pieces of mirrors of different colors allows you to create a three-dimensional composition with an unusual pattern.
• Combinatorics. The combination of mirror facades with decorative elements of other materials. It turns out the original combination of textures and colors.

In most cases, the size and purpose of the space are not determining factors in the selection. A wide range of finished products and the ability to order individual cabinet design make it easy to purchase a model of the desired shape and design, without going beyond the budget. But all the same before the acquisition is worth considering that the most important thing - ease of use, compliance with the style and purpose of the room.

In general, cabinets can be classified into several main groups.

The main purpose of the cabinet in the hallway is to store shoes, household utensils and outerwear. A plus when choosing will be the division of the divisions for the seasons for both clothing and footwear. The presence of shelves in the closet for the hallway is also important, it is in them that it will be convenient to store scarves, hats, umbrellas, bags, etc. If the corridor is rather narrow and small, then decorating the doors with mirrors would be appropriate, it’s also convenient for women who cannot don't look at yourself before going out.

For these two rooms, the purpose of the cabinet is almost identical - the storage of things. The slight difference is that the bedroom does not require open sections, while in the living room they are needed very strongly, for example, to install a TV, other electronics and decorative elements to decorate the interior.

Functional features of a product for a nursery can combine not only closed sections for storing things and clothes, but also open ones, from which a working area with a table and additional lighting can be formed. In the closet, you can also store toys and books, especially well it looks in the open sections.

The storage system for kitchen cabinets has a completely different functionality; it is suitable for storing dry and loose products, cereals, spices, dishes, etc.

After the decision with the location of the product is taken, it is necessary to make measurements and go to the furniture salon. Here, when choosing the model you like, it is important not to forget about the quality of the product. It is necessary to check the mechanism of door movement several times, examine the case for defects, cracks or deformations, the material should not emit any odors, this may indicate toxicity.To give preference to better-proven manufacturers, for this it is worthwhile to get acquainted in advance with the reviews of real buyers. Only in this way you can choose a radial wardrobe with guaranteed quality and reliability in operation.

Radial wardrobe is able to drastically change the idea of ​​the interior design of a bedroom, children's room or living room, write the owners of products. Regardless of the manufacturer, the majority of buyers leave rave reviews, full of joyful emotions from a bargain. This especially applies to owners of embedded models. Many customers write that because of the non-standard size of niches, and often their irregular geometry, the finished products did not fit them. The only solution was to order a wardrobe, and the problem was solved by itself.

Spacious, original and easy-to-use case products were also not left without positive feedback. The owners of full-size radial cabinets note that even when choosing a product, they were extremely pleased with the prices and a wide range of model range.After the acquisition, the owners did not have any comments in the direction of the door mechanism or operational properties of the structure itself. Customers note positive reviews from companies such as Ikea, Mr. Doors, Stanley and Hoff are the most high-quality products, unusual design, pleasant pricing and good customer service.

Sliding wardrobes look concisely in spaces of any purpose, they perfectly complement hallways, bathrooms or kitchen areas, living rooms, children's and sleeping rooms, which, with the acquisition of radius furniture, acquire an original and ergonomic look.
