Wardrobe under built -in refrigerators

It is quite possible to integrate the refrigerator on your own. This will require the following materials:

• furniture pens,
• awnings,
• laminated wood boards,
• working tools.

When the measurements of the dimensions are made, it is necessary to draw up a furniture scheme. This will help correctly calculate the sizes of partitions and shelves. If you decide not to put the back wall or replaced it with a lattice, then in order to increase the hardness of the structure, you need to strengthen several jumpers. In order for the refrigerator in the cabinet due to the difference in temperature and moisture to break, a small mezzanine needs to be made in the upper part. It will help to remove excess moisture and thereby increase the useful life of the equipment. If all this is available, then you can start work. The assembly of furniture is best done according to a previously prepared scheme.

The built -in refrigerator does not have its own decorative case. Thanks to this, you can make it with your own hands. You can easily make it the color of your kitchen. In addition, there is such a system as a pantograph, with which you can connect the cabinet doors under the refrigerator and refrigerator, and then you do not have to open two doors every time.

1. A box for built -in technology can be made independently using laminated wood -steering plates. This is quite simple even to a beginner. It is best to purchase these plates with color and a pattern close to a kitchen set. If this headset has complex elements of the cornice and decor, then the slabs will cost more. But you should not regret money on them.
2. Before purchasing, it is necessary to remove the measurements from the technique to determine the future size of the cabinet under the built -in refrigerator. When the plates are purchased, you can start marking and sawing parts for the future cabinet for equipment. For the sawing of these plates, it is best to use an electrician. Cut parts must be stuck together with the help of furniture screws.
3. In the manufacture of the case for the refrigerator, you must not forget to make the lower ventilation hole in the bottom. In addition, a small podium should be equipped at the cabinet. The back wall is not needed. In order for the cabinet to stand evenly, when installing it in place, use the building level.
4. When the box is ready and installed in place, you can begin to mount a built -in refrigerator. The cabinet door for a built -in refrigerator should be decorated according to the pantograph system, i.e. Two doors are united. At the same time, it is important to adjust them correctly so that they open silently. Slices of the plates that remained open should be masked with a paper edge.

When installing built -in furniture, several important nuances should be taken into account. Almost any model of the built -in refrigerator has a personal doors canopy system. Some models do not have a system of hinges.

Today, there are also models of refrigerators with doors that are equipped with special hinges. In this case, the doors of the equipment open sliding relative to each other. When installing such a system, it is necessary to correctly distribute the mass of the door between the hinges.

Is it possible to integrate a regular refrigerator?

Sometimes a conventional refrigerator spoils the appearance of the kitchen, in this case it can be built into the closet. If the doors of such a refrigerator and cabinet are not fastened, then they will open separately. In order to solve this problem, you can construct a special niche for technology without hiding the facade. But in this case, it is necessary that the refrigerator itself has an attractive appearance, and best of all, if it was combined with the style of your kitchen. In any case, the best option is the models of refrigerators, which are originally designed for embedded in furniture. Sometimes the refrigerator and freezer are on sale separately, but they are still a single kit. One of them can be placed in a coil-chronicle under the windowsill.

Before you build the refrigerator in the closet, its dimensions are necessarily measured using a conventional roulette. In this case, you need to measure the width, depth and height of the technique. During the installation, it is important to properly place the radiator. In new models, the radiator is usually located from below, and in old ones - from the back. It is important that the radiator does not contact the cabinet case, because otherwise all vibrations will be transmitted. Therefore, between the radiator and the inner surface of the cabinet, there should be a sufficient gap (2-3 centimeters). In addition, the intervals will facilitate the installation and ventilation. The back wall can not be installed at all.

As a material for the walls, you can use conventional sheets of chipboard. If the material is purchased in a special store, then you can ask to cut it according to the desired sizes right in the store. In addition, you will need handles on the door, accessories and fasteners. Before embedding the technique, the front of the refrigerator can be glued to the color of the cabinet. Finally, you need the cabinet case, which will need to be assembled and installed in place. Doors should be installed when the equipment is already placed in a refrigerator cabinet. Photos in this article show how it will look in the end.

Please note:

1. When trying to integrate the usual refrigerator, it will not be possible to equip the bottom in the closet, and this will make the structure very unreliable and flimsy.
2. In addition, a cabinet for such a technique will have to have a much greater depth to accommodate a refrigerator of an outdated sample.
3. Such a cabinet will turn out to be very bulky and in width. After all, the usual refrigerator itself has large dimensions.
4. You also need to take into account the number of future doors. Since you will have to open at least four doors. They should be equipped so that each of them opens freely.
5. In order to improve ventilation of the cabinet under a regular refrigerator, the furniture should not have the back wall, and this makes its design worse. As a result, the cabinet is flimsy, because of which it can stagger.
