The popularity of rounded closets is growing rapidly. This is due to the original aesthetic and structural characteristics of such products that allow them to harmoniously fit into any interior. We will tell on the intricacies of the independent manufacture of radius cabinets further.

Features and advantages

Radius wardrobes have an unusual form, which allows them to be placed in almost any room. This type of furniture will be particularly relevant in small rooms, because it takes a little space. The lateral wall of the direct cabinet in the width is at least 60 centimeters. Unlike it, radius structures may not have side walls. Therefore, where there is no place for the usual wardrobe, you can put a radiuscase. Reviews of such furniture are mostly positive.

Product data can be made almost any form. Thanks to the sliding mechanism, such a design can be easily "hide" in a niche. The angular radius wardrobe is most often installed in a small room. At the same time, he does not interfere with movement.

In the manufacture of such cabinets, an aluminum profile is used. It can be lined with more than five hundred species of plastic, each of which has its own color, drawing and texture. In total, up to thousands of various decorative materials can be used in the manufacture of such a closet.

Types of radius wardrobes

Distinguish two main types of radius wardrobes:

• corps
• built-in.

In the first case, they are an independent piece of furniture with all the details that should be near the radius wardrobe. Embedded products have no rear and side walls, as well as ceiling and floor. Each of these types of cabinets has its advantages and disadvantages.

So, cabinet products are mobile, they can easily move, which gives the owner more opportunities. With embedded options for obvious reasons, do the same will not work. But their shape and sizes are designed for sure at the place where they will be installed. In addition, they, as a rule, have a big capacity, while occupying less space. To install this type of radiuscase, the compartment does not need to level the floor, walls and ceiling. To avoid these work, it is enough to carefully make the necessary measurements.

Accessories for radius cabinets coupe

Any cabinets have a sliding system. In this case, steel and aluminum profile can be used for its manufacture. It is best to apply the second option, but in terms of cost it is higher than steel.

As for the thickness of the aluminum profile, it must be greater than 1.2 millimeter. At smaller dimensions, the leaf material of the facade can occur or anodizing the coating, which will require its restoration in the future. In particular, it concerns acrylic glasses, which are often noticed immediately when installed in the profile. To bend this material to a radius of 1000 millimeters, an effort should be applied equal to at least 100 kilograms. Therefore, using acrylic glasses, it should be understood that after installation, they will be in constant voltage. Therefore, the profile must be strong enough to solve such a load.

It should be said that today it is possible to find a ready-made curved profile under the facades wide up to 2500 millimeters and a radius from 300 to 5000 millimeters.

When choosing a profile, special attention should be paid to products of manufacturers such as Absolut, Komandor, Raumplus, Aristo and others.

By type of sliding system can be two types:

1. Suspended mechanisms.
2. Mechanisms with lower sliding system.

In the first case, the door hangs on the rollers installed in the upper guide. Thus, only the bottom of the sash is fixed. Such systems are quickly wearing and are considered unreliable. It is mainly due to the fact that all load in this case falls on the closet.

The best option is best suited for radius structures, namely, the mechanisms with the lower sliding system. In this case, the door is attached and fixed on the top guide. Rollers are installed in the lower guide. This design allows you to last the closet longer.

Separately, it is worth staying on the door of the radiuscase compartment. It consists of several elements:

1. So, in the design there are vertical side profiles, which, in fact, play the role of pens. They are asymmetrical and symmetric. With the help of the first sash divided into an external and outdoor side. When using symmetric door profiles on both sides, it looks equally.
2. Also in the design there are upper asymmetric rollers, with which the door holds in the opening.
3. To install rollers and fix the door in the upper profile uses the upper frame.
4. The place of fastening the wheels is the bottom frame. Thanks to her, the door correctly slides on the guide.
5. Any door has an internal filling, which may be different. For example, glasses, mirrors, wood are used as fillers.
6. To mitigate the door impact to the vertical side profile, the seal is fastened. In addition, it protects the design from dust.
7. You also need a door stub, which fixes the side profiles.
8. To adjust the slip, you will need adjustment and assembly screws.
9. To the door can be fixed in a certain position, a stopper or a positioner is required.
10. In the quality of the side walls, roofs and doors of the radius cabinet use chipboard. For the rear wall, it is allowed to apply the Fiberboard with a thickness of 3 millimeters.

How to make a radius wardrobe with your own hands

Design of radius cabinet coupe

The sizes of the radiuscase can be chosen using an online constructor. This software allows you to specify such parameters as the height, width and depth of the future cabinet.

After that, the required number of doors is selected, the form of the future product, the type of material and filling for the door. As a result of these manipulations, the finished project of the radius cabinet has been obtained.

That the result justifies your expectations, some design tips should be followed:

1. So, first of all, you need to decide on the place to install the cabinet, and what are the functions of the future product.
2. For clothes, no more than two sections should be assigned. Stayed on them will be in accordance with the season for which they are intended.
3. The depth of the cabinet is recommended to do at least 600 millimeters. This is enough to conveniently arrange the shelves.
4. If you need to install in the cabinet built-in lamps, then its roof will need to withdraw ahead of about 120-170 millimeters.
5. The shelf width is not recommended to do more than 650 millimeters. Otherwise, they can progress. The distance between them should be no more than 350 millimeters.
6. As for the sash, their width must be at least 500 millimeters. With smaller dimensions, they can fall out of the guides.
7. If possible, it is recommended to construct the built-in or half-built radius wardrobe, it is more spacious and takes up less space.

When designing, it is important to know the following:

1. The number of doors must coincide with the number of compartments.
2. The thickness of the chipboard directly affects the strength and appearance of the cabinet.
3. All doors of the radius cabinet coupe must have the same width.
4. For storage of things you should make retractable boxes.
5. In order for the doors normally opened, you can not have retractable baskets in front of the door frames.

Before making a radius wardrobe, you need to measure the width of the walls between which it will be installed, as well as the height of the ceiling. Then should decide on the type of the future product.

Tools and materials

The following tools will be needed for work:

1. Drill.
2. Screwdriver.
3. Corolnic
4. Pencil.

In addition, the following materials will be needed:

1. Drawings of the cabinet.
2. Furniture shield (thickness of 18 millimeters).
3. Boxes, handles, hangers, guides.
4. Doors.
5. Required accessories.
6. Side, lower and upper false panels.

Order of work

1. With the help of a pencil and level, you need to mark on the wall, where vertical racks will be installed, the arrangement of profiles should be placed on the ceiling.
2. After that, we celebrate the height of the fastening of the shelves.
3. For dowels, holes in which they are clogged with a hammer.
4. We establish an antleesol regiment on the previously made markup.
5. Mount the side profile.
6. We collect the filling of the cabinet (shelves, boxes, etc.) according to previously made drawings.
7. Mount the false panel. They are fixed using a screwdriver to the ceiling, gender and side wall.
8. At the installed panel panels attach the upper and bottom profile.
9. Mount the cabinet door. To do this, we will attach vertical profiles on its sides. Install the door seal (rubber or silicone).
10. Fix the upper and lower door frames.
11. Check the correctness of the installed door.

Some Nuances Installation

1. Radius facades are moving away using rollers moving along the guides. Such roller systems can be mounted as a reference or suspended method. For their attachment, the ceiling is most often used. If you went the same way, you should know that the ceiling must be made of durable materials. Plasterboard and the similar designs are not suitable for the simple reason that they will not be able to withstand long-term loads. On average, this load is 30 kilograms. Plus, when moving the door, vibrations are created every time.
2. An important point: if the facade is manufactured, the radius of which is less than 1800 millimeters, then in the design it will be necessary to use at least four dividing bent profiles. They will reduce the load on the frame of the sliding sash.

From the above, we can conclude that the total quality of the product depends on the parameters of the sliding sash.
