Construction cabinets
Sliding wardrobes differ from other storage systems with a special design of the door. Folds do not break down, but move away, opening the inner part of the furniture. Constructive cabinets can be divided into several groups.Built in furniture
Mounted in niche, which serves as the inside of the cabinet. Therefore, it is impossible to move the built-in design to another place. Built-in systems are made to order. Their advantage is that the dimensions can be very different, and the assembly is extremely simplified and, if necessary, may well be produced independently.

Separately standing cabinet
Furniture is a standard cabinet with retractable doors. The product is simply installed. A certain difficulty represents only the assembly of retractable doors. The cabinet can be rearranged to another place because it is not tied to a certain niche. An independent assembly of such furniture is a bit more complicated than the built-in.Corner construction
It can be built-in or separate. In the first case embedded in the angular part of the room. The main advantage is compact, but at the same time a very good room. Doors can be straight or radial, which makes it difficult to build. An independent manufacture of such a design is possible, but it is quite difficult.

Pros and cons of the wardrobes
Such furniture of any type is considered very practical and comfortable. Its main advantages:
- compactness;
- capacity;
- the possibility of accommodation even in a small room;
- variety of models;
- The possibility of self-assembly.
From the disadvantages it should be noted the need for regular maintenance of the sliding mechanism, otherwise it will quickly fail. In addition, it is desirable to acquire high-quality sliding systems. Otherwise, the cabinet will not last long.

What to collect a wardrobe
For the manufacture of furniture, you can choose different material. But it is necessary to make it before designing, since the assembly process can change somewhat.Natural wood
This is a traditional material used for the manufacture of furniture. In this case, not the best choice. The cabinet assembly boards must be carefully dried and saturated with special systems: a water-based polymer emulsion is either hot oil. In addition, any defects should be missing on their surface: bitch, cracks, etc. Given that the wooden surface is hygroscopic, it is not recommended to use it for the manufacture of built-in furniture. Wood will be sworn due to moisture drops inside the niche.

Lining
You can use various options: MDF, PVC or wood. It is necessary to consider that the planks that make up the sash are inserted into the wooden frame. Wood from which the frame is collected, only the rich, without defects, is selected. The lining is adjusted in size, the planks are glued together. This somewhat complicates the assembly process. In general, such a solution is quite appropriate, but only for the cabinet doors. It is often used for embedded structures.

Wood slabs: MDF, LDSP, Fiberboard
Perhaps the best choice for self-installation of the cabinet. Materials possess all the advantages of the tree, but at the same time are completely insensitive to the jumps of humidity. To work, choose high and medium density plates, they are best suited for this. The stoves are easy enough to cut on the details of the desired size. Optimally use for this serving services.

Plywood
You can use standard or laminated sheets. The latter differ in attractive species and are considered more environmentally friendly. The material is produced in the form of plates of various thickness. When working should take into account some softness of sheets, when installing sacriforms of plywood may be deformed. Therefore, it is recommended to use special gaskets.How best to locate
Before proceeding with the design of furniture, you need to determine exactly where it will be installed. There are many interesting options for placing such cabinets. For example, if it is supposed to install it along the wall, then it is best to make furniture with a height of almost to the ceiling. So it will be visually perceived as a wall, and the mirrored doors in this case will help to visually enlarge the room.

The original solution is the two cabinets of the coupe along the long wall. Between them it is worth leaving a certain distance and a kind of niche will turn out. It can be used as a headboard or as a place for the equipment of the false fireplace. Installing the cabinet near the door or window opening is possible. In this embodiment, the furniture can be successfully complemented by the antleesol placed above the opening.

The cabinet of the built-in type can have a variety of dimensions. They depend on the area of the niche in which it will be equipped. Sometimes it is even a small room or the fenced part of the room, which allows you to equip the wardrobe on the principle of the built-in wardrobe. It is very practical and convenient. Built-in design does not necessarily have a straight form, corner or radial options are possible.

Design and detail of a wardrobe
One of the most responsible stages is to create a cabinet project. To begin with, it is necessary to determine its dimensions. If the furniture is built-in, they will determine the dimensions of the niche. For cabinets standing separately, permissible dimensions are selected. For example, the optimal closet length is three meters, the maximum is five. But the width of the sash should not be more than a meter, otherwise problems with the sliding mechanism will appear.

Determining the size, proceed to the design of the cabinet filling. From it will depend on the form, the number of doors, etc. It is advisable to divide the inside of the product on the section, each of which will be intended for certain purposes and have the appropriate location. For example, a compartment for storing upper clothes should not be placed in the center of the cabinet. It is placed from the edge, so as not to spread the dampness from clothes.
After the internal space is distributed, the number of sash determines. Than they are less, the more convenient to use furniture. However, the risk of jamming or skewing of large doors increases. The optimal width of the sash is 60-70 cm. The magnitude of their overhearsow must be in the range from 50 to 70 mm. A smaller overheet involves the presence of a slot, larger makes uncomfortable use of the cabinet.

The finished project is made in the form of drawing. If there is such an opportunity, it is best to fulfill it in a special designer program, which will greatly facilitate work. If not, you have to draw all sketches with a detailed indication of the size. It takes into account all: depth, width, thickness of partitions and shelves, height of racks and rods, their length, etc. Studying the future cabinet will make it possible to determine the materials.
Suspension selection for a wardrobe
Another important point is the definition of the suspension type for the sliding mechanism. Select suitable from three options presented in the table.
| Dignity | disadvantages | |
|---|---|---|
| Tworally system, lower support | Reliable in operation: doors do not fall out, do not hurt each other, do not hurt. Simple accessories and installation. | Sensitive to sending outdoor coverage, which leads to a breakdown of the system. Dust and contamination accumulates inside the lower rail, which interferes with the normal operation of the mechanism. Requires regular cleaning. |
| Two-link system, support top | The lack of sending and other base deformations ensures the reliability of the structure, located on top of the rail pollutes much less, so it takes it less frequently. Simple accessories and easy installation. | When installing, it is necessary to align the ceiling on the mounting section of the suspension. With a pressure on the sash, the roller can exit the groove, and the door falls into the closet. Requires the lower guide, otherwise the sash can fight each other. |
| Monorail | Paired rollers located in each carriage and individual guide for sash. Due to this, the guide is not needed below. High suspension strength allows you to mount wide sash. There is no need to level the ceiling before mounting the suspension. | Complex installation, after which it is required to properly adjust the sash. Furnitura is complex and expensive. Between the rail and the sash, a wide clearance, which requires installing a decorative lining. |
It is necessary to know that the effectiveness of the operation of the mechanism determines not only the type of suspension, but also the material from which it is manufactured. The most short-lived plastic. The guides made from it cause the largest number of complaints.

Build the cabinet coupe with your own hands: Preparation of material and cut
If there are tools and a great desire to perform all the work on your own, then you can independently cut the prepared material. But faster and easier to perform this with the help of cutting. Any major building supermarket provides this service. After buying a material, it will be revealed and, if necessary, the edges will be treated. Consultants will help with the selection of fittings and fasteners.

- Similarly, place the location of all vertical sections within the future cabinet.
- We plan the location of horizontal shelves.

By this time, door flaps must be ready. If it is assumed that they are collected, for example, out of the clap, then the work must be already executed. Installation is carried out in such a sequence:
- We perform measurements of the upper and lower wall of the cabinet. We measuring the guides, if necessary, cut them.
- Fix the guides on the walls of the product.
- Fix on the sash details of the sliding mechanism.
- We establish the prepared flaps on the rails. Depending on the suspension type, the procedure will be somewhat different.
- Adjust the movement of the sash, achieving a smooth silent move.

Once again, check the quality of the installation of each part, the work of the doors and the strength of the fixtures. The work is completed.
Self-assembly of the cabinet coupe is quite forces to the home master. Especially if you choose a simple model. Major will make it easier for the work of the material, then it will only be left to bring the details home and collect the cabinet from them.
