Sliding wardrobe furniture is demanded and popular today. Having some knowledge and elementary working skills, such a structure can be made independently. It differs from the usual paid chiffonier by the presence of a sliding door system. In order to realize creative ideas and dreams, you need to correctly calculate the doors of the wardrobe.
Coupe Features
To install it does not need a lot of space. The main advantage is that the walls, ceiling, floor and walls can be used. This is a built-in wardrobe. It is impossible to move. The freestanding design differs from older models in the system of sliding doors. Internal filling, the location of partitions, shelves, drawers depends on the size of the model and the installation location. The principle of manufacturing a sliding wardrobe implies the possibility of changing it - the transformation of interior decoration, replacement and combination of door leafs. The basis of such furniture is a stable and high-quality sliding system. The calculation of the doors of the wardrobe is based on measurements of the width and height of the room. Measurements should be as accurate as possible. It is necessary to take into account the roughness of the walls, the presence of baseboards and baguettes.
Sliding system selection
There are many mechanisms for wardrobes and wardrobes. The principle of operation of all systems is the same. Door leaves on rails are shifted to the side, revealing this or that part of the inner space. The system design is made of metal or aluminum. The latter are cheaper, but wear out faster during daily use. Systems differ in the material of manufacture, the profile (open or closed) of the guides. They can be single or double. Sliding systems can be upper and lower and vary in configuration. Depending on the expected sizes, furniture can have more than two doors. The number corresponds to the number of rails in the rails. The calculation of the doors of the closet also depends on the number of overlaps of the door leafs.
How to calculate door sizes
Although the wardrobe can be individually sized, they should strive for some standards. For security reasons, the height of the door should be no more than 2600 mm, and the width of one leaf - 450 mm. Recommended depth is from 400 mm to 600 mm. The formula for calculating the doors of a sliding wardrobe is quite simple:
- The height of the door (In the door) is equal to the height of the opening (Vpr) - 40 mm.
- The width of the door (W dv) can be calculated by the formula: W dv = (W pr + 20mm) / 2, where W pr is the width of the opening, 20 mm is the increase for overlapping doors, 2 is the number of door leafs. For the calculation of three door panels, the increase is 40 mm.
- The length of the upper and lower guides: D nap = W Ave.
- The length of the vertical profile: D vert = V dv.
In order not to be mistaken, it is better to calculate the doors of the sliding wardrobe after assembling the frame and installing internal partitions and shelves.
Front filling
Facade - the main and visible part of the wardrobe. In addition to the classic filling options (chipboard (laminated chipboard) or mirror), there are many other interesting solutions. This is a painting on glass or a mirror. Embossed glass, coated glass or stained glass. Facades with faux leather, decorative plastic and natural bamboo or rattan trim are offered. Filling options are combined. Door inserts can be framed by a profile of various geometric shapes. Depending on the filling material and the type of sliding system, the calculation of the dimensions of the doors of a sliding wardrobe may vary slightly. When calculating combined doors, the filling height is reduced by 4.5 mm if its thickness is 40 mm, respectively, by 1.5 mm with a filling thickness of 10 mm. Glass and mirror filling on the back should be reinforced with impact-resistant coating.
