Nowadays there are so many things in the world that people use that they no longer notice them. Even when purchasing, he uses the advice of loved ones. For example, when buying a dishware for your closet, you won’t look for information about it on the Internet. Just buy by size. In a year it may break. The following describes in detail how to choose a dryer, which one is best suited for your closet.
Kitchen cabinet dryer
One of the most common types of kitchen accessories is the dish drainer. Basically, such designs are built into upper cabinets. The dryer is a functional and, at the same time, simple item that does not have a complex or intricate design. Such models are designed not only for storing dishes. Kitchen drying racks allow you to properly organize space in your closets.
Main types
Modern manufacturers of kitchen accessories have provided customers with many types of dish dryers. It is worth noting that all designs, regardless of type, have several compartments. Each of them has an individual purpose: for storing plates, saucers or cups. High-quality and durable materials are used to manufacture the elements.
The surfaces of the structures are covered with special enamel, which greatly simplifies the process of cleaning this fittings. Some models are decorated with paint. One of the modern options is drying, the design of which uses special rubber coatings. This element allows you to put the dishes in place without noise.
There are two main groups of products: separate dryers and structures that are built inside a furniture set.
Manufacturers also produce wall-mounted models. Basically, such dryers are installed above or next to the sink, which is very convenient. The fact is: drops of water remaining on the surface of the dishes flow straight into the sink. Often a special tray is installed along with the dryer. This part needs to be cleaned of water regularly.
Built-in dryers are the most common today, and they can be safely classified as traditional types. The advantage of the models is that they are located inside the cabinet and do not take up space on the free surface. Installing such a system does not require much time and effort. For fixation, special plastic fasteners are used. You can place the dryer in both the lower and upper tier.
Thanks to the use of these systems, the kitchen interior looks more harmonious, and the presence of unnecessary details does not catch the eye.
Wall systems are not inferior in popularity to the previous type. This group of models is based on two subtypes: stand-alone and built-in options. It is worth noting that when using the second type, you need to take care of the presence of normal ventilation of the furniture. This is due to the fact that the moisture that accumulates inside can deform the cabinet material. Basically, such options are presented in the form of a grid.
The latest functional innovations include retractable systems. Their advantage is their ease of use. The systems are mounted inside the cabinet, which saves space.
On sale you can find another interesting type of dryer called troflex. The peculiarity of these models is their unusual design. They are made in original and non-standard forms.

What types of dish dryers are there?
All cabinet dryers are made of the same design. Dividing grids are positioned vertically so that water flows from the plates down to a special tray. This division is due to the different dimensions of kitchen utensils.

The plate dryer for the cabinet is made of durable, reliable materials. A layer of enamel or paint is applied on top to protect the coating. The base of the structure is sometimes made of rubber, which prevents the dishes from sliding.
Dish drying cabinets are also divided according to installation method:
The right solution would be to place a hanging dish dryer above the sink. This will prevent drips from appearing on the kitchen floor while you carry the plate from the sink to the dryer.
The wall-mounted dish dryer can be open. For such models, a large-sized tray is made. They fit any room decor style and are relatively inexpensive. Their main advantage is that, at the request of the home owners, the structure can be easily removed and moved to another, more convenient place.
The built-in dryer can be retractable, which is very convenient in terms of saving free space. It is usually mounted in one of the kitchen cabinets. There are the following reasons for this:
At the moment, the market leader is undoubtedly the wall-mounted dish dryer with a tray. It is extremely easy to use. The main condition should be good ventilation so that the plates are ventilated.
Types of drying racks
There are two main types of dish drainers that are built into dish cabinets:
Polymer-coated dryers, usually white
These are inexpensive dryers, which is called an economy option. This dryer is equipped with one tray for water draining from the dishes.
Dryers larger than 600 mm sag, and they are not durable; over time, rust begins to appear, and the tray breaks easily. Installation of the white dryer is simple; 8 holes with a diameter of 8 mm are drilled into which plastic bushings are installed.

Dryers with galvanic coating, usually chrome color
More expensive, the difference in price is 5-10 times, but also a more durable option for drying dishes.

Dish rack width
Drying widths are available in 400, 450, 500, 600, 800, 900 mm. The size is given for the size of the cabinet into which the dryer will be built. That is, a 400mm dryer means that it will be installed in a 400mm wide cabinet.
There is such a nuance here, there are dryers that are installed either in a case made of chipboard with a thickness of 16 mm or 18 mm, and there are universal ones that are suitable for both 16 and 18 mm chipboards due to the use of special gaskets, pay attention to this when purchasing a dryer .
The optimal size is 600 mm, 400-500 mm is small, and 800-900 mm begin to sag under the weight of the dishes, and the dish drying cabinet itself turns out to be heavy when loaded with such a width.

What are the requirements for dryers?
After washing, the dishes should dry. It can be wiped dry by hand or left to dry on the table, but it is more convenient to place it in a dryer specially designed for this, where it is installed on an edge or upside down. There it will dry quickly and you won’t have to put any effort into it. There will be no streaks or stains on naturally dry plates and glasses.

Therefore, the equipment of the place where they are stored should be approached responsibly. It is necessary to take into account both the aesthetic aspect and the main purpose of the dryers.

Installing a dish dryer in a closet
The first thing to do when installing a dryer is to study the included instructions, because there are slight differences when installing dryers from different manufacturers.
We had at our disposal a two-level 600 mm chrome dryer produced by Rejs, perhaps one of the best dryers on the Russian market.

Drying chrome is universal, both for chipboards with a thickness of 16 mm and 18 mm, due to the gaskets in the photo below. The kit includes euroscrews for fastening the plastic fasteners of the dryer, thin screws for fixing the telescopic parts in the lower part of the dryer, small screws for connecting the square rods with the plastic fasteners of the lower part of the dryer.

Initially, we drill holes with a diameter of 5 mm for plastic drying fasteners, the first hole from the edge is 69 mm, the height distance and the second point can be marked by attaching the fastening to the side wall or by taking measurements.

We insert square aluminum rods into the plastic fasteners, fix them with small screws to the plastic drying fasteners, and use Euroscrews to fasten the fastenings themselves to the side walls along the drilled holes.
Having pulled out the sliding parts of the fastening to the required depth from the back and front, we fix them with thin self-tapping screws from the kit.
At the front, a sign of sufficient extension is when the square rod is aligned with the leading edge.
At the rear, a square rod with a groove extends back to the depth of the fiberboard if the bottom of the cabinet consists of chipboard slats, or until it aligns with the groove in the side walls if the cabinet is designed without a bottom.
Rice. 25. The dryer is not installed in a completely “correct cabinet”, which goes around the ledge on the wall |
To determine the height of the cup dryer, take the largest plate you are going to place and place it in the dryer. The cup dryer should not touch the plate, the first point is also drilled with a diameter of 5 mm at a distance of 69 mm from the front edge, determine the second point by measuring the distance between two holes on the plastic mount.

How to install a dish drainer in a closet
Hello friends! Today, while installing a dryer in a cabinet, I remembered how 5 years ago I could not remember the distance to the upper level of the dish dryer. Understanding that this is one of the important factors of a comfortable kitchen, I tried to install the fittings as accurately as possible.
To free you from this “headache”, I decided to describe this topic in detail in this article. And without any distracting reviews, I’ll go straight to the instructions. The result of reading the article will be confident actions of your hands and grateful eyes of the owner of the headset.
Standard drying depth
Let's look at the instructions for installing a standard dryer. Let's start with the required depth of the wall cabinet. Because an ordinary dish dryer has a depth of 280 mm, which means the cabinet should not be smaller than this size. Accordingly, it may well be more.
The drying design consists of two parts - for plates and glasses. This is the main problem. At what height from the plates should the section for glasses be installed? Let's think together and get an answer to our question.
Within walking distance of you, there is a service for calculating cabinet furniture.
Second level height
First of all, the height must be sufficient to accommodate the plates. To do this, you need to measure the diameter of the largest cup. And based on this size, taking into account the gap of about 20 mm, determine the level of the upper tier. Minimum 360 mm.
The second most important criterion is the height of the owner of the kitchen set. Here, in my opinion, everything is clear; for a woman of short stature, the upper part should be set to the minimum permissible height. And for tall ladies, a comfortable height for raising your hand.
The third factor, which is not inferior in importance to the first two. Of course, this is the height of the dish drying cabinet itself. I would not install a two-level dryer in a cabinet with a height of less than 480 mm. With the largest cup diameter being 230 mm.
Conclusion
If you are making a kitchen set with your own hands, then my installation recommendations will be very helpful. And if you take into account the main factors I have listed, then the hostess will never comment on the correct growth of your hands.
