Criterias of choice

Before choosing any retractable furniture, you need to pay attention to some parameters. These include:

1. Size and size;
2. Guide element;
3. Additional options;
4. Brand and manufacturer.

Drawers can also include rails that increase the height of the side walls. Accordingly, the box will be larger and more spacious. A soft closing system may also be included. This allows you not to hit the frame when closing. Thus, the furniture will receive less damage and last longer.

A divider can be built into the drawer. It allows you to store small items. Each section contains a specific item. This way it will be difficult to lose her. Such systems are most often used in the kitchen to separate utensils: forks, spoons, legs. And in the bedroom to separate socks, ties and other clothes.

If the buyer is not particularly knowledgeable in choosing a retractable system, he can always consult with the seller. He will tell you about the types of boxes and help you choose the one you need.

Basic concepts, differences

Metabox is a roller retractable design. It consists of an axis of four guides made of metal. It is attached to the boxes. On the sides there are walls of various sizes. Using the extension method using planks, you can increase the volume of the drawers several times. Thanks to the dividing internal elements, compact storage of kitchen utensils is provided. Additionally, the system is equipped with closers.

Tandembox – is a drawer type. The far wall and bottom of the product are made of chipboard. The side part looks like a metal base with tubular slats. There is also a dividing part inside. Such furniture items are practical and comfortable.

Distinctive parameters of the systems:

ability to withstand weight. The permissible load of metaboxes varies up to twenty kilograms, tandemboxes – up to fifty. The latter are necessary in the case of receiving spacious, high-sided boxes. This is the best option for placing massive kitchen utensils;

extension level. The exit level of the metabox using a guide mechanism is a quarter of the length, while access to the inside remains limited, but there are options for full extension. In the case of a tandembox, the design here implies full extension. Good visibility is created and there is free access to any area.

These two representatives of the furniture set are equipped with convenient closers. Tandembox is additionally adapted for electric drive. Having installed it, you can easily open the drawer with one click of the facade.

These models are durable, reliable, and have a long service life. Tandembox has the advantage of withstanding intense loads, it glides smoothly, and is silent.

We intelligently complete the kitchen set

Technological progress has given us a whole range of convenient “know-how” with which we can fill our usual kitchen cabinets. These are the inventions that can be used together or separately.

Metaboxes

Spacious drawers with adjustable walls. Since these walls are metal strips, they actually take up no space, leaving maximum space for the necessary items:

Corner drawers Space Corner.

This unique design move takes advantage of the corner, a traditional “dead spot” where little can usually fit. Space Corner systems are far superior to conventional boxes in terms of capacity. Cutlery, bottle openers, toothpicks, bag clips and other small items will find a place here. You can also put ladles, spatulas and skimmers here if you don’t like hanging them on hooks near the stove. The open corner drawer looks very original:

Dividers for dishes and cutlery

These practical kitchen organizers will help the housewife separate items of different sizes and purposes. By reaching for a ladle or spatula, you no longer have to rummage through the drawer, searching for the item by touch and clinging to the rest of the contents, which is quite annoying. The location of the separators can be changed by rebuilding them like a constructor:

Lid holders

Separate storage of lids is a smart move, allowing you to stack pots and pans “towered” on top of each other. The modern holder fits compactly on the back of the swing door:

Narrow cabinets

Is there any unused “dead” space left between the stove and the wall, the sink and the refrigerator? If previously the maximum that a designer’s imagination was capable of was nailing a shelf there, now special narrow cabinets have appeared. Their drawers will ideally fit kitchen boards and baking sheets, small jars, bottles:

Lockers

You can place a lot of things in the recesses and niches without fear of touching them when passing by. For example, a small wardrobe will fit perfectly into a wall niche:

Drawer installation diagram and calculation of the size of the drawer bottom and back wall

The dimensions of the drawer bottom and back wall are calculated based on the internal dimensions of the case minus 31 mm.

Dimensions of the non-pull-out part of the drawer and the minimum depth of the cabinet

To calculate the size of the non-drawer part of the drawer, you can use the following table:

Internal organization system for metabox drawers using Orga-line

the metabox in terms of functionality to the level of expensive tandembox systems; this is all called the ORGA-LINE internal drawer organization system. Simply put, we add transverse rails, which are attached to the longitudinal rails using holders.

Additional longitudinal tubular holders can be installed on the transverse dividers. As a result, the space can be structured according to your needs, you can place different bottles, jars, boxes, and the dividers will not allow the contents to dangle freely around the box.

In order to make a storage organization system in a metabox similar to the one in the photo, you will need to purchase, in addition to railings, additional tubular holders and dividers.

Installation and adjustment of roof rails

The railing is attached to the facade using a self-tapping screw and to the rear wall using a special fastener (fastening included in the kit).

Using the railing, it is possible to change the distance from the front to the rear wall; to do this, you need to turn the railing clockwise/counterclockwise.

One of the main criteria when choosing a metabox is the brand and manufacturer. After all, if a company has proven itself poorly, this means that it is better not to buy such furniture.

The best companies in the manufacture of drawers are the following:

1. Bloom. This company is located in Austria. It features high-quality and technologically advanced drawers. It takes into account the wishes of its clients, conducts online consultations on the official website and also makes it possible to calculate the size of the retractable system. True, the cost of such furniture is appropriate.
2. German company Hettich. This is probably one of the most famous brands for the manufacture of retractable furniture. It is distinguished by a variety of models, high quality and online customer support on the official website. There you can also leave a review about the manufacturer, ask a question or help, or use the built-in program to calculate the dimensions of the boxes.
3. GTV company from Poland. This is an analogue of Bloom, only at a better price. In no way inferior to its more expensive company. Moreover, these metaboxes are increased in length up to 750 mm.
4. Fgv from Italy. These metaboxes can be assembled by anyone without any specific skills.
5. Firmax and Boyard from Russia. These companies produce perhaps the cheapest metaboxes. However, the quality is not inferior to foreign representatives.

Thus, by choosing a metabox responsibly, you can make your room attractive and cozy.

Which drawer guides should you choose?

Now we can no longer imagine what furniture would have been like without modern convenient retractable mechanisms. Thanks to them, drawers in chests of drawers, cabinets and kitchen modules open easily and quickly. Yes, we have already forgotten that it could be otherwise and we want drawer guides that are even more aesthetically pleasing and functional to use, that would open with one touch and close smoothly and silently!

Therefore, manufacturers of furniture fittings do not stop and offer more and more innovative developments that can turn your kitchen or dressing room into a world of fantastic comfort. What drawer guides exist today and in what cases is it worth using one or another drawer pull-out mechanism?

Look at what accessories for drawers we install in our projects:

You probably still remember furniture from the 70s (dressing table, sideboards, walls), where drawers moved on wooden runners. Therefore, the size of the box could not be too large (otherwise the slats would break). Furniture was made this way for centuries, until savvy furniture makers came up with metal guides that changed the design of modern furniture. Thanks to them, numerous drawers of different sizes appeared in our kitchens, and hinged doors faded into the background, or rather to the upper tier. Undoubtedly, it became much more convenient for housewives to use the contents of drawers than in cabinets with doors, where it was difficult to see and reach what was behind.

The rapid development of furniture fittings occurred at the end of the twentieth century, when first roller guides for drawers appeared, and then ball (telescopic) ones. Let's take a closer look at the features of these extension systems, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.
