Types of wall dryers
A huge range of dryers for the Wall Plan Desk is divided into 2 types:
- stationary or embedded dryers allow you to hide dishes from prying eyes, which gives the kitchen more aesthetic appearance than the dishes stored in plain sight. In addition, the dryer installed in the closet prevents splashes and sedimentation of dust to clean dishes. However, the constant humidity from the washed, but not dried out of the dishes, contributes to the blown, rotting and the emergence of other problems with furniture;
- mobile designs are presented with compact sized dryers, which are equipped with special hooks to place them on the railing. Hinged models are enough just to move to any place convenient for the hostess or remove that it is convenient if the working area is harvesting and the direct purification of the design itself. The exception is only an angular dryer for dishes, which you can only remove and move to another angle. Thanks to natural ventilation, the dishes in mounted dryers dries much faster than in stationary structures. In addition, when using the drying type dryers, it disappears the need to open the door of the kitchen cabinet with wet or blurred in the process of cooking with hands.
Thus, each type of dryer is inherent positive and negative points. Stationary models are more often used for constant storage of dishes, and mobile - for temporary, due to dust depositing on dishes and high probabilities of splashes. However, when choosing a dryer, it is worth paying attention not only to the type of design, but also a number of other factors.
Criteria for selecting dryer
The decorative characteristics of the dryer are largely determined by the belonging to the product. In this case, durability, capacity and other qualitative indicators depend on several other factors.
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 produced in the form of lattices of various depths and are intended for location on them or plates or mugs;
- two-level - include two lattices of different depths, which will allow placing and plates, and circles, without fear that when taking a mug, a plate will fall and breaks;
- universal - there are single and two-level. A distinctive feature of a universal dryer is the presence of side offices intended for storing spoons, forks and other cutlery.
Based on the quantity, the appearance of the dishes, which is expected to be placed on the dryer, it is worth choosing the number of product levels.
Selection 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. Currently, dryers, made:
- metal. Metal dryers have high strength indicators, as well as can withstand the weight of a large amount of dishes. It is best to give preference to chromed dryers for dishes, stainless steel. Metal products covered with powdered 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 is wears and the dryer acquires an impartial appearance. The main disadvantage of metal dryers is quite high cost;
- from plastic. Due to the brittleness of the material, the dryers for the plastic dishes are suitable only for storing a relatively small amount of dishes. In most cases, the demand for dishwashes presented in IKEA is due to a wide color solution, the original execution at quite reasonable prices. The negative sides of plastic dryers include a small operational period. In addition, it is impossible to use dryers for dishes.
- from wood - more often perform a decorative role and used for storage of clean and dry dishes. Despite the moisture protection coating, the placement in the dryer of wet dishes provokes moisture penetration directly into the structure of the product, which will affect a small period of operation.
Thus, wood products are used as a stationary version, and from plastic - like mobile. At the same time, metal dryers for dishes, buying which today you can in the economic store or the shopping center, are perfectly suitable for installation inside the cabinet, and on the railing.
Choice of pallet
Not all models of dryers for dishes, photos of which are presented in the store catalogs, come with a pallet. Most often, the pallet is equipped with an embedded dryer, although mobile structures are found. In the most modern variants, the pallet dryers may have a small slope that contributes to the flow of water immediately into the sink.
In this case, the presence of the pallet is important if the dryer is supposed to be placed not over the sink, but above the tabletop or in the closet. If the model you like is implemented without a pallet, it can always be purchased separately by the appropriate size of the dryer for dishes.
To date, the pallets for the dryer are made of plastic and metal. In contrast to the metal, the duration of the operation of the plastic pallet depends on the treatment neat with it. At the same time, plastic from water splashes is purified much easier than metal. As for the minuses of the metal pallet, then with the drying of the water, it remains quite noticeable divorces, which are not always possible to remove the usual detergent.
When choosing a pallet, preference to give a better removable option, since it will be noticeably easier to drain the accumulated water from time to time.
Dryer dimensions
An important meaning when choosing a dryer plays its size, to determine which is still within the home, measuring the length and width of the space designed to accommodate the dryer.
What a spacious dryer would not want to purchase, but the distance from the bottom of the bottom grid to the pallet should be at least 6 cm, otherwise the spray of water flowing from the dishes will turn out to be on the lower part of the plates.
The distance from the top tier of the dryer to the bottom of the upper cabinet (in the case of a mounted design) or the top of the cabinet (in the case of an embedded dryer) should vary within 6-10 cm, which will allow you to freely place and remove the dishes from the dryer.
Thus, thinking in advance all the subtleties of the future acquisition, choose the dryer, even from a very large range will not be as difficult as absolutely unprepared to various nuances of a person.
