Andrey Shpilov. The case system assumes the presence of lower and upper parts, side and rear walls, facade, base. To make it to order, a measurer is usually caused, which, taking into account the characteristics of the geometric parameters of the room, determines the dimensions of the furniture in accordance with the individual wishes of the buyer. Completed cabinet furniture in disassembled form and mounted on site. The modular system contains the same elements as the case, is made directly at the factory and is supplied to the customer in the finished form. The customer independently or with the help of specialists collects the desired configuration. As you can see, the undisputed plus modular systems flexibility in combination. It can be transformed at its discretion, changing modules in places or moving them from place to place.
Cabinet furniture takes less space: if you make together two boxes in the modular system, you will get four walls, in the case two boxes are three walls. It turns out savings in the size of the wall thickness, and, of course, the cabinet furniture allows you to use each centimeter of space.

Is it possible to do without the back wall, the floor and the ceiling in the cabinet, and how in this case the framework is fixed?
Alexey Engovatov. Stacks of vision of the use of fittings is possible. For example, in the "Hettih" product line, there are a number of cage elements that allow you to collect together the design and at the same time not to use the back wall or the upper nor lower shield. However, the design of the cabinet with the rear wall, the upper and lower shield is more rigid, which improves the characteristics of the cabinet, increases the comfort of its daily operation. The same design can be disassembled, rearranged, assembled in a new place IT.D.
What do you need to pay attention to the store when choosing cabinet furniture?
Igor Sokolov. First of all, you need to visually determine how much a particular furniture model like, and imagine how it will look in your room. Then you should open the door and check how tightly the edge adjacent to the end all over. If it is without chipping, it is pasted exactly, from under it does not protrude glue, there are no tubercles and bubbles under it (dust that fell after grinding), this indicates quite good quality and material itself, and the product itself.
As for the edge, it happens different thickness from 0.2-0.4 mm (melamine) to 0.45-2 mm (PVC). Was catchy of a higher price segment it will be 1.5-2.0mm. The thickness of the chipboard itself, which is used in the production of furniture can be from 16 to 25mm. A product with a thickness of a chipboard from 18mm is considered more reliable and practical. Next, you should pay attention to the accessories. It should not be a harp, noisy or tight. There are mechanisms in furniture, which are gently, without sound and a violin bring pull-out drawers and facades of cabinets.
What maximum height can be a case system?
Alexey Engovatov. Modern accessories for sliding doors "Hettih" allow you to use the flaps of a width to 2m, up to 2,60m and weigh from 15 to 80 kg. Cabinets can be two-, three- and even four-dimensional. So we can say that the height of the structure is limited to the ceiling level in the house.
For the housing, the back wall, the doors of the cabinet compartment are used plates of various thickness. What thickness is optimal?
Igor Nazarov. For the case usually use plates with a thickness of 16 to 28mm. Filling can also be diverse: the back wall of the sheet or the Fiberboard is thick 3.2mm, or a chipboard of 8-10mm thick, sometimes even 16mm (it is already put as a rear wall). It all depends on the functional design, design. Typically, the walls made of thicker material look pretty.
Are thin slabs used for door cloths, have a flaming property?
Alexey Engovatov. Indeed, over time, the slabs are possible, the degree of which depends on its quality. It negatively affects the operational qualities of the canvases. To solve this problem, manufacturers of accessories have already long apply effective methods. For example, some clients solve the issue with the help of screed rectifiers, which are installed in advance from the inside of the facade, protecting it from deformation. You can also use the Railing handle, which allows the facade to have an additional two ribs. Then the thinnest doors will have a more reliable design and not exposed to bend.

The TopLine XL sliding doors system allows you to create massive floor cabinets to ceiling and built-in wardrobes. It is easy to mount and adjust. Sliding doors you need to simply put on the upper chassis. All system elements are imperceptibly located behind the facade. Hidden damper softens the movement of the door, providing smooth and silent closing (1); The cabinet with the housing and the facade of the painted (on the RAL palette) MDF can be made in an open version (as in the photo) or supplemented with swing doors. Facade reliefs can be patchy (2); Artwork milling on facades from MDF causes a variety of drawings, monochrome or dedicated patina (3)
If you make the built-in wardrobe, and the floor and the ceiling are uneven, how do these irregularities correct?
Igor Nazarov. The slope of the walls of more than 10mm leads to the formation of gaps when installing doors, which cannot be closed by the usual adjustment of the door-compartment. This case helps the so-called falsecod, with which the gaps eliminate. Falsecourt is a P-shaped design of the planks of the same material that is used for the manufacture of the entire cabinet, it is installed either around the perimeter of the niche, or on the parties where there are surface irregularities. Two planks that serve as a support, and the third bar is fixed on them from above (the so-called blockage). Its width usually does not exceed 100mm and depends on the extension and design selected by the customer.
What materials make guides from? What are their advantages and cons?
Alexey Engovatov. The very concept of "guides" is quite common. If we talk about the wardrobes, it is correct to talk about the running and guide profiles. For the manufacture of running guides, on which the sliding door moves, three types of material are used. Guides for the simplest and lightweight systems based on the minimum facade of the facade are made of plastic. The second version of the execution of the guides is made of aluminum, the third - made of steel. They are used for wardrobes with heavy facades and provide reliable and smooth move, durability and comfort of their operation.
The rollers of the doors of the cabinet make metal and plastic. What is their service life?
Alexey Engovatov. The bracket which is attached to the roller rolling through the guide is usually made of steel, and the roller itself to reduce the noise of plastic. It is rarely used entirely by plastic and metal rollers. Such rollers are, but usually in the simplest systems designed for the minimum load, say, in the lungs of mounted cabinets. If we are talking about big wardrobes, then there is a roller combined and steel, and with a plastic insert. For example, rollers for the TopLine XL system for cabinets with facades with a mass of up to 80kg are made of steel using ball bearings, which makes it easy and almost silent to move even so heavy facades.
As for the service life, on the results of testing by manufacturers of their products, you can talk about 40-80 thousand cycles of opening-closing, which rollers must securely pass without additional adjustments. This does not mean that after this roller will fall apart, but it may be necessary to adjust its adjustment.
There are two types of fastening of doors: upper and lower. Which features of each of them?
Alexey Engovatov. A wagu-coupe with false facades and upper chassis on the top shield is mounted by a profile that the facades are hung, and there are separate additional guides, they hold the facade from swing. The system with the upper fastener allows you to perform cabinets with depositors and overhead facades, and with the bottom only contributions. Thus, the overhead facades do not take an internal space from the closet, do not occupy the area under accessories to install sliding doors. It is also important to note that the work of the dampers in the systems with the top mount is more correct (they are installed on top), but when the running system is at the bottom, and the damper that controls this move, at the top, then synchronization can be broken between them.
The system with the upper chassis allows you to equip and perform a wardrobe in the desired design. If the framework is often element in the framework with the lower chassis element, the frame is often element (it needs to somehow beat or take attention from it), then in the case of suspended systems, the designer can do anything.
Igor Nazarov. We looked at the top guides that are attached from above to the roof of the cabinet. But there are also upper guides that are fastened under the roof. Their peculiarity is that the door support falls on the lower elements, but to the top. Systems with fastening on the roof are not provided for built-in products, so if you do it, you will have to beat or close the gap to the ceiling, respectively, the internal space will not be fully utilized.

For the "coupe" system used aluminum frameworks and mechanisms (4); The sliding doors of the traditional cabinet compartment can be made of an array of natural wood using decorative or matted glass, as well as from a mirror canvase (5); The top chassis of the TopLine M system for sliding doors weighing up to 35kg each (6); Pen Ringing for the TopLine system adds stiffness to the facade, allows typical, composite facades (7)
What are the advantages and disadvantages of steel and aluminum profiles? Are steel limit the dimensions of the doors?
Alexey Engovatov. The steel profile is tougher compared to aluminum, and therefore more durable. Aluminum is easier and is considered less noisy. As for the size of the doors when using the steel profile, they are limited only by the technical characteristics of the used system, where the main criterion of the mass of the facade.
Igor Nazarov. It depends on the selected suspension system and operating mode (how often the cabinet is opened), adjust the system correctly installed doors. Reliable and durable lower support system of doors, because their mass falls on supporting rollers. Elements of movement. Even if the door over time is overwhelmed, it is easy to adjust using a screwdriver.
Alexey Engovatov. I do not agree. It is impossible to say that when the door hinged system is dangling. If the cabinet is designed correctly, if the facade elements have the necessary stiffeners, then the doors will not "play", and retain their shape. The most important thing here is the hard facade. It is possible to achieve the necessary stiffness, as mentioned earlier, using screed rectifiers or handles profiles. The stroke, of course, is also the upper running systems, the running rollers of which are protected from spontaneous dismantling.
What can be painlessly saved when ordering a wardrobe?
Igor Sokolov. First, it can be saved on the facades, the price of which is 5-150 thousand rubles. Choose a simpler finish (for example, not an array, without drawings on glass or decor). You can also stop on the cabinet from chipboard (16mm) and with the rear wall of the Fiberboard (3-4mm). Secondly, put simpler filling mechanisms, grids, baskets. Then the price of the cabinet will be within 8-10 thousand rubles. For 1 p. m.
