Optimization of costs when ordering a wardrobe: Choose design, materials, decorative design of facades, internal content, profile system
Wardrobe coupe - thing piece in all respects. By ordering it, the user everything chooses itself: design, sizes, materials, color, decorative design of facades, internal content and even a system of guide and profiles. This makes it possible to optimize costs.
First of all, decide how much you would like to meet and what can afford for this money. After all, the coupe, customized by the individual project, is more expensive than the finished sample product of the economy-class 5-10 times. The cost depends on where this piece of furniture will be located, as the cabinet in the hallway, the children's, bedroom, the living room presents various functional and aesthetic requirements. The price will also affect the design features of the cabinet, selected materials, systems of profiles and guides, the internal filling of the IDR.
Typical or to order?
All wardrobes can be divided into two main categories: serial (typical) and custom (according to an individual project). The serial is distinguished by fixed dimensions, universal equipment, standard materials and accessories (mainly domestic production). Such a wardrobe is made according to the installed patterns, it does not need separate cutting cards for him, therefore it costs it inexpensively (on average 8-20 thousand rubles).

If the budget is limited, and the storage problem needs to be urgently solved, we advise you to search for a series cabinet of the economyractome in such manufacturers as "Artis-XXI century", "Orma-Furniture", "Prestige-Style", "Satellite", "Stay", Cupdoors ( All- Russia), BRW (Poland Belarus) IDR. Of course, a typical assembly does not imply complete freedom to choose sizes, configuration, material, internal filling and accessories, as it happens when making to order. But this does not mean that you will not be able to pick up a decent finished cabinet of a suitable value. The performance of the wardrobe on an individual project allows you to take into account the taste and all the wishes of the customer, as well as the features of the room and planning. At the same time, the models can be different: with open shelves, niches for audio and video equipment, meresers, diagonal, angular, straight. Often, in order to save space, there are whole furniture complexes in their base, in addition to directly the coupe integrated a folding bed or writing desk. Owners of small apartments often prefer multifunctional compartment cabinets. AV spacious home This piece of furniture is able to serve both the interior partition.
Soviets of designers
The facades of the wardrobe in the bedroom can be saved by wallpaper - for example, those that are finished with the entire room. Thus, the coupe and walls will be visually united in one whole, and besides, it will be possible to save. You can use a coating with another pattern that is harmony with interior design, say, wallpapers, imitating skin, silk, etc. Please choose the color of the facades will not be difficult thanks to the widespread PHSP palette. There are more interesting options: tinted under silver and gold mirrors, transparent, matte or colored glass.
Inside the large segment of the customized coupe, economy-class cabinets (from 30 thousand rubles), medium (from 50-60 thousand rubles) and high (about 150 thousand rubles) price levels are distinguished. The cost of the latter depends on the original design, designed specifically for a particular interior, the use of valuable materials and expensive accessories, artistic processing of glass, internal filling of high comfort and many other factors. Cabinets of medium and high price categories can be ordered from such domestic manufacturers as "stylish kitchens", Aldo, Ecalum, Kardinal, Komandor, Mr.Doors, Radius-Line, Visconti Idr.
At the junction of genres
Structurally, the very first wardrobes were built-in: without walls, roofs and floors, only sliding doors. Vroli hulls performed walls, ceiling and floor of the part of the room in which the cabinet was built. Today, a clear division of cabinets on separately worthy (corps) and the embedded does not exist, because the latter can be arranged in the image and similarity of the case, that is, have the rear and side walls, the roof and the floor. High price cabinets are almost always made by cabinets. The anchers manufacturers categorically refuse to attach the shelves to the "naked" walls, because they fear to hide the wiring hidden in them.

1-2. Internal filling of the cabinet compartment design at the discretion of users depending on which zone it is and what will be stored in it. The most economical option is static shelves. But without comfortable holders for trousers, skirts, ties are difficult to do.
3-4. Schedules are better to make full-digit (3); Open shelves It is advisable to combine with closed storage systems (4).
Nevertheless, if the user, embedding the cabinet in a niche or an angle, wants to save money or to give out centimeters, he has the right to abandon the cabinet elements and order only doors and inner partitions with shelves, boxes and other filling. The result can be saved 15-30% of the cost of the product. However, according to many specialists, any corpus element increases the stability of the design. The same wall and sidewalls, as well as the floor and the roof are necessary if the walls, the floor and the ceiling of the room are uneven (which for our apartments is not at all uncommon). This intermediate option is also possible, as a semi-disstainable compartment, in principle, it is the same built-in wardrobe, which in addition to the door there is still, let's say, the roof, one sidewall IT.P.
Door decor
A full-length door from a chipboard or a mirror canvase is different by price from the combined door. In the early case, inserts use different materials that can make a project more expensive. If the door is applied on the door and engraving, it also increases the cost. Images are different, and simple, and complex; Ultimately choose to you. One of the current trends is bright inserts (for example, from stained glass, IDR plastic).
Material part
During the production of cabinets, various materials for closed (invisible) and visible parts are used. The first is the case, shelves, in short boxes, everything that is behind the sliding doors. The second facade part. It and other materials can be chosen more compromised or more expensive.

5.Shkaf-coupe with wide elegant frameless fabrics made of matte glass organically fits into the stylist of minimalism.
6. The cabinet lined in a niche provides a maximum of storage space for various things. Glass facades of facades with aluminum (metal) layout make this utilitarian object of aesthetic dominant interior.
7. Constructive features make it possible to enter a coupe into the angle, niche, commonness, under the stairs, or under the roof of the attic.
8.Well of a visual example of successful integration of the wardrobe in the nursery located in the attic.
Most often, the coupe is made of laminated chipboard and MDF. Regarding the feasibility of saving in this case, many differ in opinions. Some believe that cheap materials are not necessarily poor quality. Modern technologies allow you to choose more accrued materials without prejudice to the quality of the finished product. Others lead the argument: the miser pays twice. Let's say, put something heavy on the shelf, and as a result, scorpers flew out of the loose chipboard. Truth, as always, somewhere in the middle.
For example, the price of laminated chipboard depends on the manufacturer. So, DSP TERMOPAL (Germany) is one of the most expensive, but they have the most wide color scheme. Not available and very high-quality plates are offered by EGGER (Austria) and Glunz (Germany). However, if we are talking about "internships", perhaps, it is quite possible to use the particleboard of such manufacturers, like Kronopol (Poland), Kronostar, "Subsoring Combine" (both- Russia) - they are cheaper, but quite good quality.

An essential aspect of the chipboard. Most often for invisible parts, an 8-32mm thick chipboard is used. At the same time, thicker plates go to the shelves (they, naturally, more expensive). If the shelves are long- do not save.
The back wall is usually thinner than the side (the thickness of the latter on average is 25-27mm). Standard thickness of the facade - 8-10mm. Not bad way to save - combine materials. If it comes to some exclusive solution, it makes no sense to make the inner parts of the cabinet from the same expensive materials as external.
The price of material depends on the color gamut. The intelligent firms are chipboard supplied to the order, and the so-called warehouse program with a certain set of shades (in the second case, the plates are cheaper). STIP programs infrequently meet the most fashionable, topical colors (now it is a heated oak and macassar). They offer them not so long ago, and the cost of chipboard of such colors is higher, since they are considered new products - the difference is about 10%. Ashable "budget" color is usually white.

9-10. Written internal space behind sliding facades, competently deliver the task before the manufacturer and consider all the little things. Then you will be a pleasure from the order you have created using convenient devices: retractable holder (9), mini-elevator (10).
11-12. As a rule, all domestic manufacturers of kitchens offer customers furniture and other functional purposes (including cabinets for any premises), using the same materials and components for it.
Door- "face" coupe
It is the door - their quantity and material from which they are made - determine the main (50-70%) part of the cost of the cabinet. The more doors, the more profiles and components go to its manufacture and, accordingly, the higher will be the price.
The deaf doors (for deaf facades most often used MDF) more efficient than with glass or mirror, and even more so with decorative inserts from rattan, bamboo, artificial leather, enamel. For example, a small cabinet of the SMA factory (Italy) with a size of 24001900600mm with deaf doors costs about 52 thousand rubles, and with glass - approximately 72 thousand rubles. The difference is 30%. But the glass is a glass. If even one mirror door increases the cost of a cabinet for 1500 rubles., What then to talk about the mirror with tinted, satin, color, translucent matte with sandblasting, with the effect of ampaced bronze, about decorative inserts? And there is still copyright glass and other delights ...
Often users set an embedded cabinet to the ceiling. It is rational if additional storage places are needed, and there is no free area for them. However, if you order separately the doors for the main cabinet and the antlesole, the latter will be more expensive than one canvas. Isn't it easier to do with one common door? Easier, however, not all profiles allow you to make the doors above 3000mm, and often their height is even less (2420mm). The large-format canvas with a height of up to 5000mm are not cheap (expensive aluminum profiles, filling the frame).

13. Slad doors working on the principle of blinds is another option of a modern coupe. They consist of bonded vertical panels, which move along the upper guide rail and are collected as a book.
14. Aitalian factory in the production of wardrobes uses panels with cellular filling Tamburato, which are popular with designers due to their lightweight design (with a thickness of 36mm). Of them make open shelves, racks, wide doors.
15. Each thing is its place: on the shelves, hangers, in drawers or baskets. The internal equipment of the wardrobes should ideally meet the needs of users. Such an organization of storage of things, including little things, simplifies life and allows you to quickly find the necessary.
Systems: Steel or Aluminum?
The cost of the wardrobe is influenced by the type of system. The choice is small here, because the systems are only two: steel (steel profiles) and aluminum (profiles of duralumin).
The design of any wardrobe is systemic. In addition to the carcass, it includes a door with movement mechanisms, guides (tracks) and internal filling. The door is essentially just a frame consisting of vertical and horizontal profiles. A beautiful door makes the door leaf. But on the material of the profiles, all the characteristics of the doors and operational, and designer are dependent.
Steel systems produce Simline, Versal (both- Russia), Roler (France), Indeco, Ramtrack (Oba Canada). Aluminum profiles produce Raumplus (Germany), Komandor (systems Lazurit, Art Deco), "Aroma", "Ideal", "Find" (all- Russia), Roler. Definitely answer which profiles are better, difficult. Objectively and those and other systems can be durable and delight users, allowing you to easily open the cabinet doors.

16-18.The standard shelves and drawers exist such devices as a retractable holder for trousers (16), storage system for trifles (17), perforated insert in the box (18).
Nevertheless, aluminum systems are 1.5 times more expensive than from steel. It is not in the strength of the material from which the profiles are made (steel, as is known, very durable). The secret lies in the design features of the profiles themselves in their form.
Aluminum is one of the easiest metals. Special additives are strength to the level of steel. Avot in processing it is much easier. The method of extrusion (extrusion) and a powder method (pressing the smallest particles) from it you can make a profile of any configuration. In addition, aluminum profile frame hides slip mechanisms. Steel sliding fittings for external attractiveness is inferior to aluminum, so it is used in the manufacture of wardrobes of economy-class.
There is another very important point: the configuration of steel profiles makes it possible to use rather thin chipboard as filling the frame, which limits the dimensions of the door canvase. However, steel systems are different. If you are satisfied with the standard cabinet with a solid 8mm thickness and dimensions that do not exceed 2420912mm, then your requests will correspond to the inexpensive and high-quality system, one of the most common in Russia. For the most economical steel system, it does not have enough stiffness to eliminate the door deformation. If, for example, you need a web with a height of up to 2750mm, wide up to 1100mm and with a filling of 10-12mm thick, this task will be solved using steel profiles of other systems. Adles of more complex projects, combined canvases, large-format cabinets are already using aluminum systems whose profiles are withstanding 18mm thick cloves and more.

As for such an important aspect as the movement of the doors, the "Sails effect" (soft, light and silent stroke) guarantee only aluminum systems whose rollers are made of high-strength plastic, equipped with ball bearings and are attached to the rigid support. The most expensive rollers are covered with teflon and are equipped with springs springs. It makes slipping even more smooth and silent.
Usually manufacturers offer both options. For example, in Mr.Doors aluminum frames are presented in the NoteBorn series and "Trim", and the steel-in "Arredo", Largo 53. Is it worth saving on the system? This must be solved in each case. If we are talking about the choice of several aluminum systems, it is not worthwhile: the domestic systems from the "winged metal" presented on the market are not reaching the quality, assortment and thoughtfulness to the components of Raumplus and Komandor. The price difference is not so great, but the consumer properties of the products of the two named producers are much higher. Avot to replace the original Raumplus more affordable Korean analogue, an alternative to the Russian version or system from Steel- to solve you. For example, if the coupe is in the pantry, where go once a week, - why not save money? If you use a sliding mechanism every day, saving on the system, in our opinion, is unlikely to be appropriate. Especially since you will always be able to give out a profile finish, which is a laminated PVC film or a trimmed veneer (natural or farynet). Veneer, naturally, more expensive, and from different options with the film you can also choose a budgetary, say, under metal (under treasury).
Offer from which it is impossible to refuse
Some companies from time to time carry out various promotions, providing customers with discounts up to 30%. In addition, almost all manufacturers sell exhibition samples at a discount of up to 70%. On the sites of many firms for such proposals, a separate page with photos, descriptions, prices and addresses of stores are allocated, where one or another copy is sold. Of course, the choice is small here, but the ability to buy a quality cabinet for 1/3 of its usual cost is still quite attractive.
Interior content
Perhaps the most important thing for users is how the wardrobe is arranged inside. The design features of this object of furniture are such that you can plan it "subsoil" as it is convenient for you (and of course, how much financial opportunities allow). The choice of internal filling is incredibly diverse. If you proceed from saving considerations, static elements and drawers from chipboard and plastic are cheaper. These boxes, in turn, are with full or partial opening, the latter are not extended to the end (it remains 6-8 cm), but it does not prevent them at all. With the same quality of such boxes, the difference in price can be about 900 rubles. For 1 pc. For example, Visconti has the smallest full extension box (503020cm) costs about 3100 rubles., And the same with partial- approximately 2200 rubles.
Very convenient cellular system consisting of shelves, boxes, hangers and racks. Lightweight aluminum wire baskets and DSP or plastic boxes are collected in block modules that are easily leaving on the rollers.
In love case, the type of filling affects the price: one thing is to order the shelf, a different drawing basket. For example, Aldo Shelf costs 435 rubles., Economic basket - 1100rub., And Vibo (Italy) the basket will cost 3040 rubles. Do you want to save up to 40% of the cost of the cabinet? Discard many drawers (without boxes you can not do), such as baskets, trousers, tie, rotating carousel type designs, shoe shelves escalators, elevator hangers, backlight, three-level shelves for linen, etc. All of them are undoubtedly Useful and greatly facilitate everyday life, but you can only be limited to shelves. Or, choose from an extensive range of convenient accessories what you like most. Pondering internal content, remember the main thing - how to provide free access to all things.
Tuning
A number of firms offer their clients an interesting service tuning already installed coupe. You can replace the purchased earlier than the budget facade of other more expensive and more original. The same applies to the internal filling of the cabinet. It is possible to recruit, say, tie, trousers, install additional hangs. According to manufacturers, if temporarily lacks money for a complete embodiment of fantasies, this is not a reason to give up the purchase. You can order a coupe and in parts, but for this you need to accurately decide on the place for the future cabinet. Initially, you order the basis (guides, doors, partitions), and the inner "filling" - already within the amount of which you have (for example, only one section).
