Measurement measure
First of all, it should be understood that the high-quality assembly wardrobe will always have straight angles, which you can not say about the walls in the room. Builders often violate their correct geometry. Therefore, if it does not take into account, then as a result, the cabinet may not fit on my place.
Before making the built-in wardrobe, it is necessary to make a measurement of the room at several points. It is better to sketch on paper sketch of the place where it is planned to install a closet and mark the necessary dimensions. Based on these calculations, it will be necessary to decide on the size of the cabinet. You just need to do three series of measurements.
The first series consists of three measurements (it is done at a distance of 15-20 centimeters from the rear wall):
- The first is at an altitude of 80 centimeters from the floor.
- The second is 60 centimeters from the first.
- Third - at a distance of 80 centimeters from the second.
The next series of measurements is performed at a distance of 30 centimeters from the first series.
Then you should measure the distance to sockets, protrusions, door openings and switches. It is necessary in order to make sure that the cabinet will not interfere.
You also need to measure the distance from the floor to the ceiling. It is best to carry out measurements at several points. When a maximum of information about the size of the room is obtained, you can begin to the next step.
Calculation of the overall sizes of the cabinet
Calculation procedure:
- Of all the values \u200b\u200bthat were obtained at the previous stage, you should choose the smallest. It is based on this number that the width of the future wardrobe will be considered.
- In order to obtain the necessary value, it is enough of the total width to deduct on each side of 30 millimeters, i.e. 60 millimeters.
- The magnitude of the error will also influence factors such as the curvature of the walls, the design of the cabinet and the number of measurements.
As the length of the wardrobe affects its design:
- The main material in the arrangement of the cabinet will be chipboard. Therefore, before making all the details from this material, you need to clearly know the dimensions of one slab. The particle sheet is most often used, which has a length of 2750 millimeters, in a width of 1830 millimeters and 16 millimeters in thickness.
- Well, if you plan to make a wardrobe with an equal or less width than the size of this stove. But if you need a larger length design, then the solid chipboard is no longer suitable. You can try to ask to make the slab of the desired length. But in this case, usually for such a chipboard is requested several times more expensive or reported that it is impossible to do this. In general, the main problem of making large-size cabinets is in two parts - this is the bottom and the top cover. Because they should have a length that exceeds the parameters of the standard LISP sheet. Outputs from this situation are several:
- for example, you can make two slightly length cabinets and pull them into one. Only at the same time there will be an extra consumption of materials;
- you can make a wardrobe with a combined bottom and upper lid. In this case, the necessary piece is increasing to these structures. This will be required if, for example, you need to make a wardrobe from the pantry.
Calculation of the wardrobe
- This question is very important if you are interested in how to make the corner wardrobe. First of all, you need to know that inside the cabinet must be useful space, i.e. Part of furniture involved in storing things.
- In addition, it is necessary to provide a place for sliding systems - this is about 100 millimeters.
- To successfully calculate the depth of the cabinet, it is necessary to make not only the calculation of the useful space, but also take into account the maximum permissible dimensions of this element of furniture, taking into account the characteristics of the room. You need to know which depth of the wardrobe can be placed in the desired room. Do not forget that its capacity decreases with the size of the cabinet. Moreover, always 100 millimeters it will be necessary in the calculations "Keep in the reserve" for the sliding system.
- In addition, you need to select the desired functionality of the cabinet, which will work as it should be in a given useful depth of the product.
Calculation of the height of the cabinet
Advice:
- If you decide how to make a radius wardrobe, calculate correctly the height of the product. However, you do not need to forget that the design still will have to be collected and installed. Therefore, the wardrobe dimensions should be counted taking into account this.
- Thus, the height of the structure should be 100 millimeters less than the distance from the floor to the ceiling (taking into account that this distance is not more than 2500 millimeters, and the depth of the cabinet is not more than 700 millimeters). Therefore, if there are 2500 millimeters from the floor to the ceiling in your room, then the maximum height of the cabinet will be 2400 millimeters.
- It is also necessary to take into account that in the process of lifting the frame, the side wall of the cabinet should be freely passing not only in height, but also diagonally. Therefore, to calculate the dimensions of the product, it is necessary to know the size of the diagonal, which makes it possible to use to determine the height of the usual Pytagora theorem.
Construction of the base
Consider two possible options for the base of the wardrobe:
- Low base.
- On kitchen legs.
Just immediately need to consider that if the design is put on the support, they should be installed closer to the side bulkboard of the wardrobe. Most often, they are placed at a distance of 30-40 millimeters.
The wardrobe at a low base is on stable adjustable supports, the height of which is 25 millimeters. The advantages of this option are as follows:
- It is convenient to adjust the height of the supports.
- A small height provides a structural resistance.
The disadvantages include what:
- Between the bottom and the floor it turns out the gap.
- Through the bottoms are formed through holes.
If supports are plastic kitchen legs, their height is 100 millimeters. The advantage is that they close the lumen between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor.
The disadvantages include what:
- It is inconvenient to carry out supports. In order to adjust them, you will have to go to the floor.
- It turns out too much distance between the floor and the bottom of the cabinet.
Hard frame wardrobe
Advice:
- In order for the wardrobe, the wardrobe does not swing, it must be equipped with several elements of stiffness.
- Swinging occurs due to the lack of transverse ribs of stiffness in places of fixation of the rear wall from the fiberboard. It is this support that provides almost all the rigidity, but only DVP in itself cannot make a stable design. Therefore, the ribs are needed from the chipboard. To do this, it is enough to consolidate transverse supports with a height of 250 millimeters using confirmates.
- To ensure the hardness of the cabinet all over, such ribs should be installed in each section at different levels. In addition, one high edge is placed in the central compartment. Thanks to this, the cabinet will not swing, at no blow.
Installation of shelves
The shelves are the main details that make up the design of any wardrobe. There is nothing complicated in their installation. But if you need to install such slats on one axis, then two options are possible:
- Fixation with furniture corners.
- Fastening the "helicopter".
Advice:
- In the first case, in the place of the joint of two shelves on each side, angular ties are installed. In order to looked symmetrically, such fasteners are added on the opposite sides. In some places they can hold on confirmates. Sometimes for fixing in these places, angular screeds can also be used, which will only enhance the place of attachment. The disadvantages include the fact that such fasteners are noticeable if you look into the closet.
- As for fixing the "helicopter", the principle of this method is based on the use of one of the confirmation shelves, which is screwed in the center. The next action should be as follows:
- rotate the shelf around its longitudinal axis;
- free space for fastening the opposite plank;
- consolidate it into two confirmation;
- return the bar to its original position;
- fix both shelves from the opposite side using confirmates.
Installation of rods for clothes
Most often for the cabinet, three types of rods for clothes are used:
- Standard.
- Retractable.
- Lift pantograph.
There are longitudinal and transverse types of installation of the rod.
- For longitudinal installation, a standard rod or lift-pantograph is usually used.
- For the transverse installation, a standard or retractable rod is used.
To select the installation option, the following three factors should be taken into account:
- The width of the opening section where the rod will be installed.
- The depth of the wardrobe.
- In addition, it is important to understand that each type of rod is designed for a certain load.
Installing the back wall
- The rear walls of the fiberboard are usually fixed to the cabinets using self-tapping screws. And you need to know that they must be attached not only to the vertical bulkheads, the top cover and the bottom, but also to the shelves attached to the confirmates. This will make the design of the cabinet is still harsh.
- But there is one nuance when attaching the wall to the shelves - it will not work out to screw the screws to the touch, because they are not visible. Therefore, for this purpose you need to complete the following sequence of actions:
- we take a marker and ruler;
- on lateral bulkheads near the rear wall, the center of the shelf is marked;
- on the rear wall line is carried out;
- it is for it that you need to screw the screws.
Assembly
Start the assembly should be from the installation of drawers. For each of them you need:
- Collect the entire frame to confirm.
- Fasten the bottom.
- Fix the tight details of telescopic guides.
- Then you need to place and drill holes in the ends of the removable shelves.
In order to speed up the process, it is necessary:
- Fold all shelves in a stack.
- In the ends to spend a vertical line with the help of the kit.
- With the help of the core in the center of the ends, outline the places of future holes.
- With the configated drill to make holes.
- Next should be placed and drilled holes in bulkheads.
- The markup is recommended to do from the inside so that the shelves are closed the drawn lines during installation.
- If you need holes for the power holders, then they are made by noble.
- Under the confirmation they are made, on the contrary, through.
- Next, you need to perform a crown from the outside.
When everything is set, you can collect the frame. To do this, you need to do the following priority of actions:
- Screw all tie.
- Secure the bottom and install bottom supports.
- Put the design vertically.
- Reliable fasten on the furniture corners the top cover.
- Insert the drawers into place, but so far without the front side.
- Fasten the rear wall.
- Install and adjust the front walls of drawers.
- Place and fix the rods for clothes.
Installation of sliding doors of the cabinet
Completion of sliding doors for mounting:
- The kit includes two pairs of rollers: large lower and small tops.
- In addition, there are fixtures for them.
- The lower rollers are needed in order for the door to ride on the rails.
- The top is designed mainly to maintain the design in a vertical position.
- Also included there are upper and lower horizontal profiles. The first one is essentially the upper horizontal frame of the door. The second allows you to mount the vertical basis with the help of self-samples, and he also hides large videos.
- In addition, there is a H-profile, which is an important link between different vehicle fillers.
- Doors need a handle. Therefore, in the design there is a special outdoor vertical profile handle.
Sequence of steps when assembling doors as follows:
- Run cut profiles.
- Make small holes in a vertical profile handle.
- Stick on the back of glasses or mirrors self-adhesive film.
- Install horizontal profiles.
- Secure vertical profiles.
- Install rollers.
- Twist design with self-draws.
Installation of rail guides
To install the upper guide rail, you need:
- Set the guide flush with lateral bulkheads.
- Fasten to the top cover of the wardrobe.
To mount the lower guide rail, you need:
- Place on the bottom of the design of the bottom rail.
- Insert one sliding door into the system.
- Taking advantage of the level, shifting the lower railway drill to the desired distance.
- Achieve the most smooth vertical position of the door. This requires a construction level.
Next requires the installation of a stopper for doors. It is necessary in order to fix the sliding door in the right position on the rail. When installing, it is enough to insert it in a rinse of the lower guide rail. Usually one door accounts for one stopper.
