Options for the location of a microwave oven in the kitchen
The microwave oven for many people is indispensable assistant, With help which is heated or defrosted by food very quickly. Modern models of microwaves are endowed with a large number of functions, increasing their them popularity.
But, it is with the owners of small kitchens There is a problem in where to place a rather overall dimensional device in the form of a microwave.
Most common The option is to install the microwave on the working surface. On the one hand, no fasteners are required, but on the other — The device occupies a decent part of the countertop, cut and process products becomes more difficult.
More One option for the location of the microwave oven is the windowsill. This maybe Then when he possesses certain sizes and power, to hold the microwave. In addition, there should be a place under the outlet nearby. Among the shortcomings this The formation of condensate is distinguished in the winter season, since cold comes from glass at this time, and from the microwave, in the process of work — warm. In addition, room plants cannot be installed on the windowsill, due to the radiation that comes from the microwave.
If any not too high refrigerator, the microwave oven is installed directly on him. Although this is also inappropriate, because it heats up in the process, and the refrigerator radiates heat.
The most successful option for the location of the microwave is her Slowing using brackets. IN this In case, the microwave oven is installed on any convenient section of the wall.
The use of a suspension shelf is also an excellent option that allows reliable Fix the microwave oven. The main condition for this type of installation is the presence of free air ventilation that ensures the performance of the microwave. If this is not done, there is a risk of overheating of the device.
In order to increase the free space of the kitchen, the microwave oven is built directly into the kitchen set. But this varia nT Slgoes to foresee in advance, more At the stage of manufacturing furniture.
Microwave on the wall is features fixations
The main feature of fastening for the microwave on the wall is an increase in free space in the kitchen. Several options for fasteners of the microwave oven are distinguished, which differ among themselves with color and decorative solutions.
Tse on The installation of installation of a microwave oven is quite high, so cheaper her Install yourself.
Keep in mind that not all microwave ovens can be attached to the wall. Dimensional structures will not be able to fully stay on it. Special requirements are imposed on the wall on which the microwave is attached. It should be strong, preferably made of concrete or brick.
There are several varieties of fasteners for the microwave. In the ratio with the color scheme, they highlight:
- white;
- gray;
- gold;
- black Fasteners and shelves .
The most popular are white and silver colors, since it is precisely such microwave ovens that one of the most common.
As the main one fastener An element for a microwave oven is a bracket that has drilled holes through which it is fixed on the wall. Next, sliding pads are fixed on plastic plugs and their holes.
In addition, do not forget about the power grid, since the microwave should be mounted in a place where there is a socket or is possible her Subsequent installation.
There are two main options for fastening the microwave on the wall:
- installation on the surface of two parallel supports installed around the perimeter of the furnace at any distance, which depends on her size;
- installation onbeamon which There are parallel supports, this The option is more durable .
Fasteners for microwaves on the wall and its choice
To approach the issue of fasteners for fixing the microwave oven on the wall should be with special responsibility, because the quality of fastening and the safety of people in the kitchen depend on the quality of fasteners.
Among the main parameters, defining The type of fastener is the dimensions of the furnace and the total weight of the structure. In the ratio with dimensions, the brackets are characterized by a variable length, so they are tuned depending on the length of the unit.
They are selected under certain, pre -measured length. But with accounting The weights of the microwave should be compared with the material from which the wall is made on which it will be attached. For example, when fixing the microwave on the concrete wall, there are no problems and the use of less strong fasteners is allowed than when installed on a wall made of drywall. But, preliminary, it is recommended to read the instructions or technical parameters of fasteners, in which, necessarily The maximum is indicated the weight of the device,which He is able to withstand. It is preferable to choose fasteners with a small margin of 0.5 —1 kg.
Pay due attention such elements as Fixers. It is they who are designed to prevent an accidental fall of the furnace. Most modern fasteners They are equipped with elements.
The last, but quite important choice parameter reliable And good fasteners are the attractiveness of appearance. Although fastening element nT Ave.actically invisible In the kitchen, nevertheless, manufacturers offer a large selection of these parts, in relation to different colors and textures.
Most often they are plastic or steel. It is possible to combine these materials that fit well into any interior style.
How to hang a microwave on the wall: procedure
The microwave oven is attached to the wall in two ways. Her fixed directly on the surface of the wall or built into the kitchen cabinet, in which it also take it Little space and can function normally.
The installation procedure begins with selection of an element on which The mount will be carried out. Most often it looks like two metal or plastic parallel friend A friend of the supporting units on which fixation occurs.
It is possible to mount the supports on the beam, for a more durable attachment and withstanding a microwave with a large weight.
To select the type of fastening, compare the weight of the microwave with the technical parameters of the fasteners on which it is installed.
To carry out installation work, it will require the presence of a drill or a perforator, with which the holes are drilled under dowel. But, before that, it is recommended to measure the product itself and the wall on which it will be installed. Draw a preliminary installation site with a pencil to attach the microwave smoothly and efficiently.
Set the dowel on the base that is drilled under it. When fastening a plastic dowel, use your hands, if it is metal, you will need special equipment in the form of a pistol for dowels. Next Place the part in the form of a bracket for a microwave on the wall and forget it with nails. Check the strength of the connection.
In case of fear that this fasteners It is not able to withstand the weight of the microwave, it is better to replace nails using anchor bolts.
If you plan to install a microwave oven in the design of the kitchen cabinet, you will need to buy a special frame that can fix her In the closet. To save on the purchase of a frame, make her independently, using metal corners, welded or fixed Bolts among themselves. Color the structure in a ratio with the color of the cabinet. Fasten her On the surface of the wall with dowels or anchor bolts, as in the first version.

1. The first option for building a shelf for a microwave on the wall implies the use of purchased materials in the form of a furniture shield of the desired color and size. For example, with a standard width of a cabinet of 60 cm, the lower shelf is equipped with three sides. For provision Additional space on which the microwave will be installed. Among the shortcomings of this kind of designs should be noted:
- lack of ventilation, leading to strong overheating of both the device itself and the upper part of the cabinet;
- bravety Shelves excludes the possibility of carrying out any kind of kitchen work under it, thus, In the kitchen disappears more one defined Part of the useful area .
2. The second option is the installation of a microwave on a shelf for TVs. Their purchase will not be difficult, and installation work is carried out very quickly.
3. The most optimal The option of fastening the microwave oven is the installation and preliminary structure of a separate shelf. Among the advantages given Type of installation, we highlight:
- mobility and independence of the shelf from kitchen furniture;
- the presence of satisfactory ventilation;
- multifunctionality, in the absence of the need for the location on the shelf of the microwave, enough her use as a conventional piece of furniture .
To make yourself this The view of the shelf will need:
- three standard furniture shields, sizes 45x60 cm, it is better to give preference to the material that has undergone preliminary processing;
- rods, they are sold in furniture stores, Diam trangry 2.2 cm, and length 2, 2 m, one thing will be enough;
- flange connectors for rods — sixteen pieces, choose products, made exclusively from metal;
- corpes for wall fasteners .
As toolswho will help to build a shelf for a microwave oven, prepare:
- electric drill;
- roulette;
- marker;
- perforator .
The standard microwave oven has a size 50x41x30, we will focus on these numbers. If the microwave oven is larger or smaller, the size of the shelf should be corrected.
In plots, denoting Horizontal plane mark the points on which the flange connectors will be fastened: 3x3 cm from each corner. For the middle shelf, holes are drilled, the diameter of which is 2.2 cm. this The hole will be installed. But, first you need to attach flanges to it. To do this, use screws. To fix the bar on the surface of the shield, use the clamping screw, which should be turned to the wall, in order to avoid damage to the appearance of the shelf.
To obtain the shelf of the correct shape, four equal areas from the main bar must be cut off, with a size of 60 to 70 cm. To assemble the shelf, it is enough to install the rods in the shield, and connect all the other parts.
The microwave stand on the wall: manufacturing instructions
For manufacturing given type of delivery, the presence of:
- wooden furniture shield;
- electrician;
- grinding machine;
- drills and screws with dowels;
- screwdriver;
- impregnation or varnish with a brush for their application .
All the necessary elements are quite affordable, in addition, the option of replacing furniture is possible shield on shield from Chipboard or MDF.
We offer to make a shelf with such sizes:
- length - 60 cm;
- width - 30 cm;
- height - 30 cm;
- depth - 25 cm .
To cut the parts on the workpieces, the use of an electrician. To mark the marking, you will need a ruler that has one *right angle, pencil and roulette. Carefully relate to the marking of the parts, since not too flat lines or angles are able to significantly worsen the appearance of the structure.
When all the blanks are sawn, begin to emphasize them using a grinding machine with a tape or vibration type. In the absence this The tool, the usual sandpaper of a small fraction should be applied.
The final stage is the assembly of the entire structure. To do this, use wood and dowel screws. Before starting screwing screws, pre -drill holes under dowel. This The procedure will help prevent cracking in the process of work. After assembling all the details, behind the structure fasten Special fastening, with which it will be fixed on the wall.
Next The shelf must be painted or opened with varnish. If the second option is selected, then varnish you need to apply at least three layers, since shelf It is located in the kitchen, and is constantly exposed to steam and moisture. If necessary, the shelf is simply painted with a special paint designed to work with wooden surfaces. After drying, hang the shelf on the wall and install the microwave. Please note that when choosing a place to install a shelf, you should pay attention onlist of sockets or possibilities in her installation.
