What part of the accessories in the total cost of the kitchen headset in percentage expression?
Evgeny Mikhailenko. The main part of the value of the set falls on the facades. Azen fittings are about 10% (and sometimes more) on the total cost of the kitchen.
Why are some companies offering budget facades, often use dubious fittings?
Evgeny Mikhailenko. They just try to save on everything. But the trend recently is as follows: even in low-cost kitchens, high-quality fittings of well-known manufacturers are increasingly used. After all, these are moving parts responsible for opening and closing. Iones most often fail if low-quality raw materials are used.
Akak determine when ordering, what fitness does the furniture manufacturer use?
Evgeny Mikhailenko. The easiest way is to ask the seller in the furniture salon. The brand is indicated for any part, if it is really branded products, and not no name. The logo of the manufacturer of accessories can be seen in a cup of loops or on its plug. But manufacturers, especially large, often close the logo on the fittings by their trademark.
What furniture loops are considered an indispensable attribute of "good" kitchen?
Evgeny Mikhailenko. To date, one of the signs of such a kitchen - a quick-edge loop with a built-in damper. In general, there is a shock absorber that allows you to provide a smooth movement of the door and repay its blow to the body. Stone POR As Hettich brought a new Sensys loop with a built-in damper, a separate shock absorber began to go into the past. This provides an improved appearance of the facade due to the absence of additional elements that are attached on the housing or loop. The modified design received a new kinematics and a new design.
What "stuffing" for the boxes offers Hettich?
Evgeny Mikhailenko. These are various options for the organization for cutlery for low boxes, and a variety of dividers for high-colored boxes. They allow you to store dishes, utensils, products and organize space inside the box as convenient to the hostess in everyday life. At the same time, our inserts are universal. They flexibly adjust to the needs of the consumer. For example, partitions inside the liner for cutlery can be rearranged by simulating its space as it is necessary to store items of various sizes. There are no special recesses. But if we deliver a liner with jars for spices, then, naturally, they go in the set and have their place. Many solutions. An empty box is not as convenient in everyday use, as the one in which there is internal separators.

4. Barghatisto-matte glass in aluminum binding is an elegant solution of the upper tier (fragment of the Jazz kitchen).
5. Single-art Talis S2 Variarc kitchen faucet with swivel on 360 high arcuate spill. Such a form is one of the most popular today, as it makes it possible to wash high pots and pour water into them.
6. Retractable spinning with a shower is comfortable for washing with two bowls, as well as in cases where you need to wash tender berries, lettuce leaves or greens, rinse the wash bowl, pour water into the pan right on the table top or in a bucket that stands on the floor.
What extension mechanisms are used for lower boxes?
Evgeny Mikhailenko. There are two types of boxes in today's kitchen market. The first - on roller guides - the most economical, old option, which today still exists. The second is a more modern two-way metal box with hidden guides, full or partial extension, with a damping system (silent closing) or without. Buyer can choose for itself the desired option. Such boxes are good and externally: the guides are not visible, everything is stylish and harmonious. In addition, they have an enlarged resource of work and more smooth opening and closing due to the design of the guide and the box itself. For ergonomic cuisine, we recommend the system of boxes with full extension guides. This gives the consumer free, convenient access to content - nothing remains hidden inside the case.
What happened in the design of boxes?
Evgeny Mikhailenko. Some time ago it became fashionable to use the glass when creating them. Alleged with this box Innotech (Hettich) received side glass windows without realigue. If you look at the top, then it seems that it is made of glass. It looks very beautiful and modern. But the liners with the attachment on the rails for such a box did not fit, because they were not here. Ima created products with new fastening elements that are fixed on the rear wall or freely embed into the box. Changes in design pushing us to create new products.
What kind of kitchen mixer is considered the most convenient?
Roman Gorbatov. Ergonomic what is convenient in each case. There are mixers of different designs: with more or less horizontal expulsion (low) and high arched twisted. The selection depends on the preferences of the customer and the place where the mixer will be installed. If the top cabinets are located close enough to the bottom of the headset, then the use of mixers with high expulsion is not possible, therefore, it is necessary to choose a device with horizontal expulsion. As for the design, two directions are dominated: High-tech (minimalism) with cylindrical geometric lines and eclectics - mixing minimalism with more organic, smooth, rounded form.
What coating the mixer body is the most durable?
Roman Gorbatov. Two types of coverage are in demand: chrome and under the steel. Chromement is made by a galvanic way, known for a long time. This is a pretty high-quality, reliable coating that serves for years and even decades. The new, so-called PVD coating (precipitation of metal vapors on a particular product) is more resistant. But both are both for our home environments, and it cannot be said that the PVD coating will last twice as long. Therefore, choosing the type of coating of the mixer body, you need to focus on what color is more like and whether it is suitable for the kitchen style.
How to choose a mixer in relation to the depth of washing?
Roman Gorbatov. Hard parameters are not available. There are kitchen faucets with retractable vibrations. Unii at the end there is a Lechka, which can be extended to the hose, which is very convenient when it is necessary to wash the fruits, gain water into a large container. In this case, the depth of the shell is not important. If the bowl of washing is small, then the hard fixed is the horizontal performance is less preferable.
What do you pay attention to when choosing a pull-out shower?
Roman Gorbatov. IMPORTANT QUALITY HOSE. Emergency options are used with a metal braid hose. But when it is nominated, an unpleasant sound is distributed - the metal rubs about the metal. In addition, it is less flexible and quickly fails. The ones are used with a teflon coating hose, due to which it slides in the mixer body without excess noise. Watering can be easily removed and moves. Sovie extenders there is a magnetic retainer, which allows you to clearly install the watering can when returning.
What innovations are manufacturers of mixers today?
Roman Gorbatov. The trend is such that people choose kitchen faucets are not for standard accommodation (when the device is crashed into the sink or in the worktop), and the models that come out of the wall. The most recent faucet of our range looks simple enough, has a water control handle and telescopic spout that can be adjusted in depth, direct and left. Many mixers are designed in such a way that the control knob is located on the side of the housing, and not on top. We offer universal models that can be rotated both to the left and right.
