Materials used

For the manufacture of wardrobes for clothes most often used:

  • wood - a natural massif is considered the most expensive material. Typically, models of any cabinets made of wood are decorated with embossed overlays or cornices. It has excellent performance;
  • Chipboard is a modern material traditionally used to create strict forms. The advantages of this material include a wide variety of color shades at a low cost. However, in quality this material is slightly inferior to MDF: it does not tolerate high humidity and has a lower density;
  • MDF - particle boards made of small particles. By many quality indicators, they are comparable with the properties of natural wood massif. The simplicity of its processing allows you to produce cabinet furniture in the most unusual versions, while it has a wide range of colors;
  • melamine (artificial veneer) - boards made by pressing wood dust, coated with a layer of thick paper. Rigid external coating provides resistance to undesirable external factors;
  • laminated plastic - is a synthetic coating glued to the surface of the cabinet. Using special technologies used in the manufacture of such facades, you can create a huge variety of colors and textures. However, when choosing cabinets with a similar coating, it must be remembered that if the outer layer is disturbed, it will not be possible to restore it.

The use of single-door mirror cabinets in the entire height of the door will visually increase the room.

What to look for when choosing

The main points when choosing furniture for clothes can be such nuances as:

  • overall dimensions - often the area of ​​the room for which a particular model is selected, determine its main dimensional characteristics of the cabinet. For small rooms, compact products are chosen, which include single-door models. Typically, mass-produced cabinets have a standard depth of 60 cm, while the height of the cabinet model can vary from 2.1 m to 2.4 m. To increase the useful volume, mezzanines are most often installed on low single-door cabinets. In tall cabinets, this place has traditionally already been used. The standard width of a single-door cabinet is from 30 to 60 cm, but other dimensions are not excluded in the manufacture of individual orders;
  • material - when choosing a suitable model, one should not forget about quality characteristics: cheap options quickly lose their external gloss or become unusable. According to experts, preference should be given to products made of chipboard, but here first of all you should pay attention to the thickness of the material - the greater the thickness of the sidewalls, the more durable the structure will be. The facade is responsible for the external beauty, however, the door should close tightly and smoothly. In addition, choosing a single-section cabinet, you need to pay attention to the processing of the ends of each structural element. A well-crafted edge will not only significantly extend the life of the furniture element, but also prevent the release of harmful chemical compounds used in the manufacture of the source material;
  • structural strength - when inspecting a model you like, special attention should be paid to fasteners. When assembling the purchased product, it is advisable to use the services of specialists involved in cabinets. This, firstly, eliminates possible errors and significantly speeds up the process. Secondly, there is always a chance to run into an unscrupulous manufacturer. If there are defective or missing parts, the product can be replaced immediately;
  • optimal filling - it is difficult to overestimate the strength and beauty of the structure, but do not forget about the main purpose of the cabinet - to store clothes. In good furniture designs, clothes are almost not wrinkled, any thing is easy to get or put in a closet. Therefore, in such a furniture attribute, depending on the likely purpose, it is mandatory to have holders, bars, where clothes and shelves will be hung on hangers.

The choice of a cabinet is a responsible matter. The appearance of the room and the ease of use depend on a correctly selected model. Therefore, before purchasing the model you like, you should carefully evaluate it according to the main criteria.
