Of the most popular today, of all types of dryers for dishes, wall structures are used. A wide range of a wide variety of models that differ from each other in shape, size, design design and other indicators complicates the process of choosing the most suitable option. At the same time, the functionality, durability and other characteristics depend on a number of factors that are worth it in advance.

Types of wall dryers
A huge range of dryers for dishes of the wall plan is divided into 2 types:
- lights stationary or built -in in the cabinet allow you to hide the dishes from prying eyes, which gives the kitchen a more aesthetic look than dishes stored in sight. In addition, the dryer installed in the cabinet prevents the entry of spray and the dust of dust on clean dishes. However, constant humidity from the dishes washed, but not dried outside the cabinet, contributes to bloating, decay and other problems with furniture;
- mobile structures are represented by compact dimensions that are equipped with special hooks for placing them on railing. It is enough to simply move the hinged models to any place convenient for the hostess or remove, which is convenient in the case of cleaning the working area and direct cleansing of the structure itself. The exception is only a corner drying dryer, which can only be removed and moved to another angle. Thanks to natural ventilation, dishes in hinged dryers dries much faster than in stationary structures. In addition, when using a hinged type dryer, there is no need to open the door of the kitchen cabinet wet or stained in the process of cooking with your hands.
Thus, each type of dryer has positive and negative moments. Stationary models are more often used for constant storage of dishes, and mobile - for temporary, due to dust and high probability of spraying. However, when choosing a dryer, it is worth paying attention not only to the type of design, but also to a number of other factors.
Drywall selection criteria
The decorative characteristics of the dryer are largely determined by belonging to one or another type of product. At the same time, durability, capacity and other quality indicators depend on somewhat different factors.
The number of tiers
The capacity of the dryer is determined not only by its size, but also by the number of levels. Based on this, the products are divided into 3 categories:
- single -level dryers are available in the form of gratings of various depths and are designed for the location of either plates or mugs on them;
- two -level ones - include two lattices of various depths, which will allow plate and mugs, without fearing that when taking the mug, the plate will fall and break;
- universal- are one- and two-level. A distinctive feature of a universal dryer is the presence of side departments designed to store spoons, forks and other cutlery.
Based on the quantity, the type of dishes, which is supposed to be placed on a dryer, it is worth choosing the number of levels of the product.
The choice of material
The durability of the dryer, constantly or periodically exposed to moisture, is largely determined by the material from which the product is produced. Drying dryers are currently widespread:
- from metal. Metal dryers have high strength indicators, and are also able to withstand the weight of a large number of dishes. It is best to give preference to chrome dryers for dishes, stainless steel. Metal products covered with powder paint or having rubberized protection will last only 2-3 years. This is due to the fact that in the process of constant operation, the material that protects the product from corrosion wears out and the dryer acquires an unpleasant look. The main drawback of metal dryers is a fairly high cost;
- from plastic. Due to the fragility of the material, plastic dryers are suitable only for storing a relatively small amount of dishes. In most cases, the demand for submitted dishes presented in IKEA is due to a wide color scheme, an original execution at quite acceptable prices. The negative sides of plastic dryers include a short operational period. In addition, it is impossible to use plastic -mounted drying dryers near the hob, since the material begins to melt;
- from wood - more often they play a decorative role and are used to store clean and dry dishes. Despite the moisture -proof coating, the placement of wet dishes in the drying dryer will provoke moisture penetration directly into the structure of the product, which will affect the short service life.
Thus, wood products are used as a stationary version, and from plastic as a mobile one. At the same time, metal dryers for dishes, which you can buy today at a household or shopping center, are perfect for installation inside the cabinet and on the railing.
Choosing a pallet
Not all models of dishes for dishes, photos of which are presented in the catalogs of the store, are complete with the pallet. Most often, the dryers built into the cabinet are equipped with a pallet, although mobile structures are also found. In the most modern options for dryers, the pallet can have a small slope that promotes water drain into the sink.
In this case, the presence of a pallet is important when the dryer is supposed to be placed not above the sink, but over the countertop or in the closet. If the model you like is implemented without a pallet, then it can always be purchased separately by the corresponding sizes for dishes.
To date, pallets for dryers are made of plastic and metal. Unlike metal, the duration of the operation of a plastic pallet depends on the treatment of a neat handling. At the same time, plastic from water splashes is much easier than metal. As for the minuses of the metal pallet, when the water dries, quite noticeable stains remain on it, which is not always possible to remove with ordinary detergent.
When choosing a pallet, it is better to give preference to a removable option, since it will be noticeably easier to drain the accumulated water, and washing the pallet from time to time.
Drywall dimensions
When choosing a dryer, its size also plays an important value, which is necessary even within the house, measuring the length and width of the space intended for placement of the dryer.
Whatever roomy dryer would like to purchase, but the distance from the bottom of the lower lattice to the pallet should be at least 6 cm, otherwise the spray of water flowing from the dishes will be again on the lower part of the plates.
The distance from the upper tier of the dryer to the bottom of the upper cabinet (in the case of a hinged structure) or the top of the cabinet (in the case of a built-in dryer) should vary within 6-10 cm, which will freely place and remove dishes from the dryer.
Thus, having thought out in advance all the subtleties of the future acquisition, it will not be as difficult to choose a dryer from a very large assortment as a person completely unprepared for various nuances.
