How to assemble a built-in wardrobe. Installation of side shelves. Fastening the honeycomb shelf

Regardless of the size of the apartment, space for compact storage huge amount things - clothes, shoes, underwear, books and many other necessary (and not so necessary) - are always needed. And such a place is a closet.

The ideal option is a coupe - it saves space in the absence of swinging doors, it is spacious, and the design can decorate any room. Mirrors will visually enlarge the space, MDF inserts will make the interior unique, and soft triplex with a pattern of your choice will turn your furniture into a work of art.

DIY sliding wardrobe for the hallway

Which wardrobe should you choose? The answer is simple. If you have settled in your home seriously and for a long time, if you do not like rearrangements, if there is a free niche that you definitely want to use, then you need a built-in one. But if moving is still possible and you, due to your character, have a hard time parting with your favorite and comfortable things, then your choice is an ordinary cabinet made according to your needs. individual project.

Furniture, in the construction and design of which everything is thought out by you and for you, is more than a piece of furniture: it is your creation, your pride, a way to express your individuality.

You can, of course, just go to the store and buy an option that more or less suits you in color, filling, size and price. One of tens of thousands produced on assembly lines furniture factories. You can order production according to an individual project in one of the many showrooms. Or you can do it yourself, putting a piece of your soul into a thing that will be before your eyes every day. In one piece of furniture, realize yourself as a designer, constructor, sawmaker, assembler. And let some of your friends not like your creation. This is YOUR work and no one has the right to criticize it.

Built-in

Advantages

• Mounted in niches and closets, it saves space significantly. Here you can compactly store a variety of things - from jars of jam and tools to items of daily use.
• Thanks to the design of sliding doors, the niche disappears, the angularity of the room disappears, and in its place a unique interior detail appears.
• There is no empty space between it and the wall - a place where dust constantly collects.
• It’s easier to make a built-in wardrobe - there are fewer parts, since the shelves are attached to the walls.
• Sockets and switches can easily be placed inside it.

Flaws

• The built-in one is absolutely non-transportable, and even if you decide to disassemble and transport it to another room, converting it to new dimensions will take a lot of time, effort and nerves.
• It does not have a back wall and you will need to prepare the niche before installation.

You can make a built-in wardrobe without having a niche with two main walls. It can be partially “built-in”. Its design may include a sidewall or a roof.

Advantages

• Can be installed in any convenient location room or hallway.
• Can be used as a partition in a room to zone a room.
• No additional wall preparation is required. On the contrary, a closet can be used to cover up wall imperfections.

Flaws

• “Excess”, unused spaces: between the ceiling and the roof, between the side wall and the wall.

Step 2. Selecting design and content.

Internal filling of a large wardrobe

Has purchasing a wardrobe become a necessity? Then take a few days to decide WHAT exactly you want. Browse through the catalogs, go through furniture stores, read articles on the Internet. Mark it for yourself interesting solutions and details, and those nuances in construction and design that we would like to avoid.

Step. 3. Choice of material.

Main material

• The most common is laminated chipboard (LDSP). This is a very practical material. It is easy to process and affordable. The variety of colors provides ample opportunities for design solutions. Laminated chipboard is manufactured industrially. The sheets have different sizes and thicknesses. For production, slabs with a thickness of 16 mm are used, and for inserts in doors - 10 mm thick.
• 3.2mm thick fibreboard (fibreboard) is suitable for the back wall;
• MDF is beautiful, durable, more environmentally friendly, used for making furniture in rooms with high humidity, but much more expensive material;
• Wood is the most environmentally friendly of materials, but, unfortunately, it is poorly suited for the manufacture of wardrobes.
• Due to its fragility, drywall is generally not recommended for furniture making.

Sliding door system.Currently there are enough big choice various systems:

• aluminum;
• steel;
• hanging;
• frameless, etc.

Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, in aluminum systems there are convenient vertical handle profiles - perfect option for the hallway and nursery. Steel systems They are distinguished by grace, which is especially important in the bedroom. Suspension systems fit perfectly into the interior, where they should be invisible.

Step 4. Decide on the sizes.

Built-in

• Width. Measure according back wall the width of the niche along three horizons: at the ceiling, in the middle of the wall and at the floor. Take the larger value as the calculated value.
• Height. Measure along the wall on the right and left. Take the smaller one for the calculated distance between the shelves.
• Depth. Depends on what will be stored here. Will there be a horizontal bar for hangers or just shelves?

Hull

Approximate layout of a sliding wardrobe with dimensions

• Width. Measure in place. It is necessary to take into account: the curvature of the walls (if you plan to place the cabinet from the wall to the jamb, then due to the inclination of the wall even by a centimeter ready product may not fit into your intended space), availability of switches and sockets.
• Height. Firstly, even the most tall cabinet should be 15-20 cm lower than the ceiling height, while the need for upper, inaccessible shelves should be much more important to you than the ability to wipe dust from its lid without using a stepladder and, secondly, you should not ignore the recommendations of manufacturers of wardrobe systems for maximum permissible height.
• Depth. This parameter entirely depends on what you will store in it. If we're talking about only about shelves, then we have: shelf depth + space for rail and doors (indicated in the system manufacturer’s instructions). If you mean a hanger bar, then this is at least 50 cm, since clothes hangers have a length of 45-48 cm. If this is a vertical holder for hangers with fastening to a shelf, then decide on it first.

Step 5. Calculate the number of sliding doors

The width recommended by manufacturers is from 60 to 90 cm. If the width is less than 50 cm, it will lose its stability, and more than a meter - ease of movement (there is a maximum permissible load on rollers, in which the manufacturer provides a guarantee for their long-term use).

The guides (top and bottom rails), depending on the manufacturer, have a length of 4 - 5.5 m. If your cabinet is longer than 3 meters, think about how you will transport a five-meter rail. There is a simple solution - install a partition made of laminated chipboard. You will get two independent niches. Visually the partition will be invisible. It is not recommended to dock the guides; this will quickly damage the wheels.

Step 6. Decide on the height of the doors

For built-in wardrobes

If the height of the niche is up to 280 cm, then the doors can be made at full height. If this size is larger, then you can consider two options.

1. Install an upper mezzanine with hinged doors.
2. Make a roof at a height of 280 cm (but taking into account the fact that the dust there needs to be wiped off at least sometimes).

The option with a roof is also relevant if available suspended ceilings, if previously to the ceiling in in the right place the beam was not screwed on, specifically for installing built-in furniture.

For cabinet products, maximum height = height to ceiling minus 15-20 cm.

Step 7. Sketch

Preliminary sketch of a manual wardrobe

Before proceeding directly to the drawing, sketch out the desired arrangement of things. Measure them if necessary. For example, dimensions ironing board or existing baskets and shelves for shoes.

Make a sketch (as best you can). On the sketch, indicate the dimensions that must be strictly observed. Now mentally place the doors and move them right and left in various options, thus checking accessibility to all parts internal filling.

Step 8. Drawing (Measure seven times - cut once).

Wardrobe drawing with dimensions

The most convenient way is to make preliminary markings directly on the walls of the niche with a pencil. This will make it possible to avoid errors in the dimensions of parts.

For example:

1. top shelf = width of the niche x depth of the internal filling (that is, the depth of the cabinet minus the door);
2. stand = niche height - top shelf height - material thickness;
3. shelves on the right = (niche width/2 - 5-10 cm) x depth;
4. shelves on the left = (width of the niche - shelves on the right - thickness of the material) x depth.

Additionally you may need

Additional parts are needed if it is not possible to level the side walls and floor. The rectangle in which the sliding doors will be mounted must be perfect. This can be achieved by installing a box for them in whole or in part. At uneven walls Gaps between the walls will be visible, and if the floor or ceiling is uneven, the door may even jam or jump out of the grooves, not to mention opening and closing spontaneously - after all, it will slide down the slope under its own weight.

Cabinet wardrobe

Decide:

• how will you attach the back wall made of fiberboard if it is located in a niche, from wall to wall, and if there is no answer, then it is worth considering the option with a built-in wardrobe, where back wall absent;
• whether your cabinet will rest on legs or on sides;
• what type of sliding door system you will use.

Carefully read the instructions for this type of door, turning Special attention for maximum and minimum permissible dimensions. The durability and reliability of the system itself depends on this.

Direct drawing. Armed with a ruler, a pencil and an eraser, proceed to the most important part of the work.

Let's consider the option with support on the sidewalls.

Main material parts:

1. roof = cabinet length x depth;
2. support = (cabinet depth - thickness of material for the plinth - 20 mm - width of the plinth) x height of the plinth;
3. back wall (fibreboard) = (cabinet height - base - 2-4 mm) x (cabinet length - 2-4 mm);
4. sides = (cabinet height - material thickness) x depth;
5. bottom = (roof width - two thicknesses of material) x depth;
6. base = cabinet length - two material thicknesses) x 70-100 mm;
7. rack = (cabinet height - base - 2 material thicknesses) x (cabinet depth - doors);
8. shelves = (cabinet width - 3 material thicknesses - width of the adjacent niche) x (cabinet depth - doors).

Here it is worth paying attention to the fact that the doors of the wardrobe are wider than 1/2 of the internal width, there is an “overlap” of the doors, and if you plan baskets or drawers, they simply will not move out of the closet, that is, the size of the niche with shelves under the baskets should be less than half.

Attention! Do not leave the roof unsupported by a support; it may sag.

Step. 9. Detailing

Parts table for making a cabinet

Based on the finished drawing, make a list of parts indicating their dimensions (specification).

Mark the parts whose ends need to be covered with a decorative edge and, taking into account the thickness of the edge, adjust the dimensions of the parts.

Mark the parts where you need to make “cuts”, for example, under the baseboard on the sidewalls.

Step 10. Preliminary cutting

Approximate cutting of chipboard sheets

On a sheet of paper, to scale, arrange all the details compactly. If as a result you needed 1 sheet of material and a little more, then you can adjust the basic design by replacing some shelves, for example, with mesh shelves.

Now that you know exactly the internal size, it is necessary, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations for sliding wardrobe systems, to detail the doors.

Step 11: Tools and Materials

Tools needed for installation:

• roulette;
• wood hacksaw;
• square;
• building level;
• drill and confirmatory drill;
• corner clamps;
• screwdriver with a set of bits (phillips and hex);
• mallet;
• jig for perpendicular drilling.

Materials:

• main material provided for by the project (chipboard, fiberboard, MDF);
• edge (of your choice) and PVA glue;
• euroscrews 70x5;
• plugs;
• self-tapping screws (for fastening the back wall and fittings);
• furniture corners (plastic or metal) for attaching cabinet parts to frames;
• furniture fittings (bars, holders, mesh shelves, pull-out baskets);
• chalk or wax for painting over chips;
• components for doors (guides, profiles, rollers, strips, slats, latches - everything that is required to assemble this structure).

Attention! Carefully read the assembly instructions for the type of door you have chosen. Don't take a single step away from them!

Step 12. Step by step instructions.

Old apartments from the 50s to the 80s in most cases require a variety of niches. This space can be used in different ways. Some create niches with shelves, others break down walls and remodel. We are interested in a practical and visually aesthetic way to transform an unsuccessful apartment layout. To do this, you can make a built-in closet that will accommodate a lot of things and create coziness. Let's figure out how to make a built-in wardrobe with your own hands.

Convenience of a built-in wardrobe

Every family has a set of things that are a pity to throw away or, due to seasonality, are simply not needed at the moment. Some people organize a warehouse for such things on the balcony, where there is already little space. Take a closer look at the space in your apartment; perhaps there is a place for a built-in wardrobe that will help cope with this problem.

The good thing about a built-in wardrobe is that it covers the entire space from floor to ceiling, making it useful. For the most upper shelves You can put away things that you rarely use.

With the right approach, the exterior can be given originality and sophistication. This is clearly demonstrated by the photo posted in the article. You can make a built-in wardrobe with your own hands in any style. If you want to imitate a wall, then the cabinet doors need to be decorated with materials identical to the wall.

If the area allows you to separate more space from the wall, then the built-in wardrobe can be turned into a dressing room. In this case, it is necessary to place the shelves around the perimeter and take care of the light.

To organize a built-in wardrobe with your own hands you will not need a lot of material, since in most cases there are no walls. Their role is played by the walls of the room. The only difficulty may be installing the door mechanism. After choosing the type of mechanism, you need to understand the principle of its operation and the stages of assembly. Any details for different doors can be found in specialized stores, so it is quite possible to assemble the structure yourself.

Cabinet design and tool preparation

To choose a suitable project, you need to decide on the location for the built-in wardrobe. If there is a niche, then the cabinet can be made in the form of an imitation for the wall. When placing a niche in the corridor, it is better to use a mirror surface for the cabinet. A mirror in the corridor will not only play its primary role, but will also contribute visual increase space.

Another one interesting idea The surface design of the wardrobe is photo wallpaper. The choice of plot depends on the design of the room. IN Mediterranean style Photo wallpapers with images of the ocean and beach will fit perfectly. For classic styles, such as Provence, Renaissance, antique-themed photo wallpapers are suitable. You can choose wallpaper in the form of a window with any landscape.

To create a project, you need to take measurements of the location of the future cabinet. Draw on a piece of paper a clear plan for the location of the shelves indicating the dimensions.

If the project has been selected, you can begin preparing the material and tools. In the manufacture of built-in hinged wardrobe with your own hands or a wardrobe made of chipboard, plasterboard or wood, you will need the following tools:

• jigsaw;
• screwdriver;
• drill;
• stationery knife;
• level;
• roulette;
• marking pencil;
• self-tapping screws, euro-screws, nails, corners;
• hammer;
• perforator;
• PVA glue.

To assemble a built-in cabinet, you must have the skills to use the listed tools, otherwise there is a possibility of traumatic situations or damage to the material.

Necessary furniture fittings

For the full functioning of the built-in wardrobe, you will need some elements furniture fittings. The shelves are fixed using corners and shelf holders; you may need a hanger bar.

Most important part built-in wardrobe doors. The fittings will vary depending on the type of door structure.

If you are installing sliding doors, you will need the following for installation:

• upper and lower frame for doors;
• upper and lower rollers;
• silicone rubber seal;
• Schlegel.

To make built-in home cabinets with your own hands, you will need door hinges and handles. You can get by with such fittings in the case of a classic swing design.

Accordion-shaped cabinet doors are less popular due to their fragility. Such doors are usually made of plastic, less often of wood or glass. Availability large quantity moving elements makes accordion doors less reliable. To make such doors you will need:

• upper and lower guide profiles;
• loops of different types;
• furniture wheels;
• pens.

Don't skimp on accessories. The durability of the built-in wardrobe design directly depends on the quality of the assembly elements.

Drywall is very comfortable material for the manufacture of built-in furniture. With its help you can create incredibly beautiful interior elements. From positive characteristics drywall, the following can be noted:

• availability of material, low price;
• ecologically pure material;
• convenient to use, easy to process;
• compatible with almost all types exterior finishing: paint, plaster, tiles, etc.;
• not flammable

Along with the positive features of drywall, there are also some disadvantages:

• gypsum is a brittle material;
• Use only for built-in furniture.

At strong impact can be damaged plasterboard surface. It is precisely because of the fragility of the material that only stationary built-in furniture is made from plasterboard, which cannot be moved to another place without complete dismantling.

The first stage of building a plasterboard cabinet will be the construction of a frame using a metal profile or boards. Use a hammer drill and dowels in places where they are attached to the walls. Walls may be uneven, so ensure proper installation using plumb lines and a level. After installing the frame, we cover the structure with plasterboard. In areas with heavy loads, a double layer of sheets can be used.

The surface of the drywall must be treated with putty. This is done using reinforcing mesh or tape. Then we glue the perforated corners and putty the entire surface. As finishing use the option that suits you.

On finished frame we install doors. Massive and heavy ones are not suitable for such a cabinet. suspended structures, so we choose easy option with minimal weight.

Built-in wardrobe made of chipboard

Chipboard - particle board, a popular type of material for making furniture. Supplied in sheet form. The sheet consists of compressed wood shavings. Used for making furniture laminated chipboard. They are covered with a thick film that protects the inner layer from moisture and destruction. Lamination creates a wide variety of designs and colors.

If you decide to use chipboard, then it will be easier to order the necessary parts from a specialized organization. There they will not only cut the sheets to the required sizes, but will also trim the edges of the slab with braid. All that remains is to install the parts. When cutting yourself, be careful with the dimensions. To finish the edges with braid, you can use a regular iron.

Do everything before assembly required holes for fastening. To fix chipboard sheets, you can use euroscrews. Their length can be 5-6 cm and width about 4-5 mm. The holes for euroscrews should be 1-2 mm smaller than their diameter; this connection principle will give the most durable fastening of the sheets. The cabinet frame does not need to be assembled on site. You can install the structure in modules, it will be more convenient.

Chipboard sheets also have weak sides. Pay attention to them to avoid mistakes.

1. Cheaper types of chipboard allocated to environment formaldehyde, harmful to health. Choose sheets under the E1 brand, they are more environmentally friendly.
2. Chipboard sheets are not intended for fine processing.
3. If the tape is installed poorly, gaps may form. Exposure to moisture can deform the open edge. This occurs due to the ability of the wood chip layer to absorb water.

Corner cabinet made of plasterboard

The principle of construction from plasterboard is the same for all types of cabinets. Making a built-in corner cabinet with your own hands differs only in the way it is designed. If you decide to unusual project radius wardrobe, then it is better to use drywall.

Such a plate is capable of creating rounded surfaces. In this case, you can consider a corner cabinet in the form of a quarter circle. Such designs look original and unusual.

To give the door a rounded shape, it is necessary to carry out some manipulations with the drywall board.

1. From available materials, build a fixing base in which the sheet of drywall will dry.
2. Using a stationery knife, make holes on the surface of the cardboard in a checkerboard pattern 1-2 cm long at a distance of 5-7 cm from each other.
3. Place the slab on the fixing base.
4. Wet the towel and place it on a sheet of drywall so that the entire area of ​​the sheet is covered. As the sheet gets wet, it will begin to sag.
5. Leave the sheet in a curved state until completely dry. Do the same with the second sheet.

This way you will get two curved doors for corner wardrobe. Select suitable fittings for them and carry out installation. Do not forget about treating the surface of the sheets. For a do-it-yourself built-in wardrobe made of plasterboard, you can use glass doors which are made to order.

Built-in wardrobe in a niche

If you are the happy owner of a Soviet "Khrushchev" building and have not yet had time to remodel it, then the space can be transformed by building a cabinet into a niche with your own hands.

Great place for a built-in wardrobe. There is no need to build side bases; it will be enough to install a frame for attaching the guides at the top and bottom, make slats on the sides and places for shelves. The central structure of a system of drawers and shelves will be installed on the floor and held on the sides with fasteners.

Some apartments have very deep niches. They can be converted into walk-in closets. To separate the dressing room area with the most a good option will sliding doors. Inner space fill with shelves along three walls. Don’t be afraid to make shelves right up to the ceiling, they will come in handy too. You can put things there that you use very rarely and do not need to constantly take them out.

Not all of the niche space can be used for a cabinet. Make a partition and decorate half of the niche in the form of shelves for books or flowers. A mirrored door will hide the built-in wardrobe and increase the space of the room. Arranging a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom with your own hands in the niche area can create the impression of an extension of the wall. This way you will get rid of the clutter of objects in the space of the room.

Built-in wardrobe in the hallway

If your hallway is large and spacious, then the built-in wardrobe will fit well into the decor and will not create the impression of reducing the space. In Soviet "Khrushchev" apartments, you can use niches that are typical for the corridors of these apartments.

The principle of arranging a built-in wardrobe in a hallway with your own hands is standard. In the case of a corridor, attention must be paid to the design of the cabinet doors and their practicality. Remember that the door will open several times a day. The door mechanism must be of high quality and durable. For their surface, it is better to choose an easy-to-clean and wear-resistant material. Street dirt can get onto the doors from your shoes; frequent cleaning should not cause wear on the surface.

If we talk about arranging shelves, then it should be noted that the closet in the hallway differs in its structure from other types. Arrange drawers at the bottom of the closet. It will be convenient to store in them shoes that are currently unnecessary for other seasons. For storing winter clothes in warm time year you will need space for hangers. Before creating a closet layout, analyze the things that need to be put in it, then you will understand what kind of shelves you will need.

It is better to make the door of the built-in wardrobe completely mirrored. This way you will have the opportunity to show off and look in the mirror before going out.

More often than not, homeowners try to make the most of the space in their home. The living area, which is located on the top tier, is located directly under the roof. There are inconveniences with the layout of such rooms due to irregular shape walls and the presence of slopes. It is not possible to install purchased cabinets around the perimeter, so we have to look for other ways of arrangement.

Where the roof slope is located, the ceiling has an inclined shape. This place is convenient to use for a built-in wardrobe.

If there are windows, it doesn't matter. Make openings for them, as shown in the photo. A DIY built-in wardrobe will help transform the space into useful space, and the surface of the drawers will become a window sill.

Finally

How to make a built-in wardrobe with your own hands without the ability to handle carpentry equipment? Very simple. Order patterns in the required sizes and start assembling. An exclusive built-in wardrobe based on an individual project will not only practical decoration your apartment, but also a source of pride.

Ecology of consumption. Life hack: Building a built-in wardrobe with your own hands is quite a troublesome task. Without specific carpentry skills...

Building a built-in wardrobe with your own hands is quite a troublesome task. Without certain carpentry skills, working with wood and getting an excellent result in the end is quite difficult. But everything can be learned with experience. And if you start equipping your house with built-in wardrobes in every niche, starting with an inconspicuous cabinet on the balcony, then in the kitchen, then finding a huge niche in the living room, the cabinets will gradually give in.

It is recommended to build such cabinets for those who really have a lot of things, who want to save money on buying a ready-made cabinet, and who have beautiful unnecessary openings and niches in the walls created just for the cabinet.

A cabinet attached to the wall is good because it is stable, does not wobble or rattle from a person passing by. And most importantly, the absence of side and rear panels allows for the same external dimensions wardrobe to gain significant useful internal volume: a whole additional large drawer (25 liters) or two extra hanging fur coats - isn’t this good luck for the owner of a dozen fur coats and a small room?

Having understood the specifics of design and installation, you can get down to business.

Design

When designing the interior space, shelves and hangers can be modeled to suit your needs. It is necessary to choose such an interval between the shelves that there is practically no empty space left.

It is better to mount the crossbar for hangers closer to the ceiling so as not to waste space.

Compartments for linen and clothes – 30-40 cm high.

If you plan to eventually build a TV or stereo into the closet, secure the space for it in advance.

After the measurements, a drawing is drawn up; you can even try to draw the entire room and the designed cabinet on a computer using special programs. Then the possibility of detailed modeling and the sketch becomes clearer.

The original walls and ceiling, or rather the degree of their curvature, can bring great help or, on the contrary, trouble into the construction of the cabinet. If the ceiling and walls are perfectly aligned and all angles between them are 90 degrees, the cabinet is incredibly lucky. Aligning the parts will be easy.

Another option is to align the planes by level and plumb (more correct and accurate), but then the walls of the built-in closet may deviate significantly from the planes of the walls (if they are very crooked) and this will be noticeable. In general, the choice of what is best to align the cabinet with is made empirically. But all parts must be without gaps, adjacent to the floor, walls and ceiling.

It is better to use the same fittings for the cabinet - handles of the same shape and color, even if different sizes, screwed at the same distance from the edges of drawers and doors.

There are times when it is difficult to cut one large piece (such as a long side wall panel) from one piece of wood. Therefore, you can have long side walls do it through curbs, that is, fasten several small boards overlapping. Then take two strips of equal length, touch one to the floor, the other to the ceiling, strictly above each other and screw it in with screws. Then, in the remaining distance between them (dimensions are added for overlap), a third sheet is cut out, touched to the wall and screwed to the borders with an overlap. This will create a neat wall with borders. On the front side, these borders can be beautifully covered with doors (if they are made at the level of the overlaps).

It is better to place the cabinet on a hard surface (it is better to remove overhead floors or layers of floor “pie” with insulation). Think about whether it’s worth stripping the base of the floor down to the concrete. Hard surfaces such as parquet or linoleum will support an average cabinet; laminate flooring will most likely have to be removed, as a heavy cabinet can cause waves on the surface.

If you plan to make glass parts in the cabinet, you should think in advance whether to insert them into the doors or make them completely glass. The second option will be easier. Instead of glass, you can use a mirror, which is protected from scratches special coating, for example waterproof varnish.

When planning and building a cabinet, do not forget about the characteristics of the material, important detail, for example, is the direction of the fibers in a wood board. Depending on this, you can cut the material correctly or incorrectly. Wood along the grain is much stronger than across it. In plywood, the layers of fibers are directed crosswise, so the strength qualities at any point are approximately the same. IN furniture panels It is important to ensure that the fibers are directed from one planned attachment point to another. If the fibers on the material are not clearly visible, it is considered that they run along the long side of the sheet, and the part must be cut out, taking into account the attachment points, along it.

During installation, you need to leave gaps of a few millimeters to expand large wooden parts from fluctuations in air humidity. These gaps can be filled with small wood chips to prevent dust from passing through. If possible, it is better not to make too long parts (over 80 cm with a width of 60 cm) that will not be supported by anything in the middle (for example, horizontal shelves), since the “fluidity” of the wood will manifest itself in a few years, and the shelf may sag.

Sliding wardrobes differ from ordinary built-in ones only in the design of the doors, so the principles of their installation in a wall niche are the same.

First, an internal supporting frame is made; thin panels of various materials: ogralite, textolite, fiberglass. Bearers vertical panels(if they are used and not walls) are firmly attached to the wall. Gaps in internal corners closed with precisely fitted square or profiled slats.

You can use elements of the room as the side walls of the cabinet, as well as the floor. But if the walls are too crooked, the best alternative There will be a separately built cabinet installed in the wall. This is especially important for a wardrobe, since the curvature of the planes will cause the moving door mechanisms – rollers and rails with doors – to suffer greatly or even not work.

If you install a wardrobe in a niche with uneven side walls and floor, the cabinet's construction mechanisms will quickly wear out. Therefore, before installation, all surfaces are leveled using false panels and beams. If the deviation of the walls from the vertical is insignificant, then the walls are not leveled, but the door is tilted using adjusting screws.

The opening of the wardrobe should be larger and higher than the height of the sliding panels - about 5 cm. The width of the opening of the wardrobe should allow for overlap (when one door overlaps another), it should be at least 2 cm. If there are 4 in the wardrobe sash, the overlap will be 4 cm.

Usually a wardrobe has its own floor inside the wardrobe. This is done not only from a decorative point of view, but mainly to level the floor under the rails - the lower door guide.

For linoleum and laminate, if you don’t want to disassemble it, be sure to cut a strip a few cm wide around the perimeter of the future cabinet under the rails. Sliding wardrobes are not installed on “floating floors”. For carpet, an additional floor is made of chipboard or a backing under the lower door guide so that the door does not press into the pile.

The upper guide is attached to the ceiling. The bottom rail is installed on the floor with an offset of 30 mm relative to the top rail into the depth of the cabinet. First, the doors are checked to see how they move in the grooves, and only then the guides are screwed “tightly” to the floor.

A horizontal clothes hanger is placed in the closet at a distance of at least 6 cm from the mezzanine shelf. There should be at least 150 cm from the same stick to the shelf with shoes (so that hanging clothes do not touch the shoes). The hanger should be at least 21 cm away from the back wall.

Being in extreme open position, the door should not interfere with the drawers being pulled out. It is convenient to divide the interior space of the cabinet into as many sections as there are doors in the cabinet - into two if there are two doors, into three sections if there are three doors.

Installation of doors in a wardrobe is carried out as a last resort - after installing all partitions, walls and floors and completing work on internal structure. First they put inner door(starting from the insertion of the upper rollers). Then the right door is installed. Before installing the doors, self-adhesive shock absorbers are installed on the side walls of the furniture frame, which will soften the impact of the door on the walls of the wardrobe. published

Reading time ≈ 4 minutes

On small area The functionality of each piece of furniture comes first. If you install a wardrobe with your own hands in a free niche, you will get a practical place to store things. To make your work enjoyable, it is better to use ready-made drawings and diagrams. It is advisable to get acquainted with photos and videos that will tell you how to make a wardrobe at home.

Wardrobe drawings

The cabinet presented here is designed to be placed in a corner area. It is quite voluminous:

• height - 2440 mm/2045 mm;
• width - 1225 mm;
• depth - 509 mm.

These dimensions will allow you to place all your shoes and clothes in it.

The design is based on 2 frames, screwed to the walls, floor, ceiling, and also securely attached to each other. Since there are 2 switches in this area, one can be used to install a heater that can dry shoes in slush and frost and keep them warm.

Since there are 4 members in the family, 4 shelves are planned so that everyone can store their shoes separately. There is also a small addition intended for creams, brushes and other items.

Materials and tools

To build your own built-in wardrobe, you need to prepare the following materials:

• drywall;
• plywood, bars;
• plaster mixture;
• self-tapping screws for drywall;
• tapes for plastering drywall;
• paint.

You also need to purchase sliding doors for the wardrobe. Mirror canvases were taken for this project.

The following tools will be needed:

• saw;
• screwdriver;
• level, plumb;
• roulette;
• square;
• spatula/trowel;
• spatulas;
• graters;
• ironers.

Frame assembly

If the frames for the structure are assembled on the floor, then they need to be made 10 cm less than the ceiling level. Otherwise, it will not be possible to install them in place. If the structure is smaller, then after installation they put wood wedges of the required size on top, and then everything is attached to the ceiling.

When the frame is attached to the wall, you must constantly monitor compliance with the horizontal and vertical. Use a square to check that all angles are right. If the wall is deviating from the vertical, additional wedges can be used to correct the situation.

Fastening frames to the floor

Not only the lower part, but also the side part is attached to the floor. This helps make the entire cabinet structure more stable.

Preparing drywall boards

With such dimensions, the wardrobe can be assembled from a single sheet of plasterboard. If the dimensions are larger, you will need 2 sheets. A knife is used to cut drywall into the required pieces. They do this on one side only. Then, after the sheet is turned over, all that remains is to hit it a little, and the material will burst along the cut line. The protruding pieces of paper are carefully trimmed.

Drywall installation

When installing drywall, use special self-tapping screws designed for fastening drywall and wood. You cannot screw them in too close to the edge, because a protective guard will be installed there. metallic profile, which will be responsible for the integrity of the corners for a long time. Without such protection, rapid destruction after mechanical impact is possible.

Plastering

The next step in installing a wardrobe with your own hands is plastering the plasterboard structure. Choosing a mixture for preparing a solution is quite problematic, so it is better to take the advice of consultants in the store. Usually, if there are no differences in height of more than 1 cm, it is immediately recommended to use finishing compounds. If you treat everything with a primer, it will be easier to plaster.

Work should begin with the design of joints and corners. The joints of individual drywall fragments must be taped with sickle tape. When covering these areas with the plaster composition, you need to move the spatula so that it additionally presses the tape. You also need to seal all the screw heads. The corners are puttied first in one direction, then in the opposite direction. After the first application, you must carefully remove all obvious irregularities and leave everything to dry for a day.

The next stage of assembling the wardrobe is sanding. After giving the surface an absolutely even state, it is better to prime it again. And then apply the finishing coat again polymer mixture, it can lie in a thin layer, the thickness of which is less than 1 mm. The result is a perfectly smooth surface.

Cabinet shelves

The supports are made of timber, the shelves themselves are made of plywood.

Coloring

Anyone can paint the structure themselves. You just have to remember that you definitely need to apply 2 layers.

Door installation

When installing doors, you must follow the instructions. After this, the wardrobe in the hallway, as in the photo, is ready. All that remains is to put all your things in it.

How to work with laminated chipboard - a popular material for cabinet furniture

Currently, laminated chipboard is mainly used in the production of furniture. This is the first principle. It is wood shavings of coarse dispersion. Using the hot pressing method, it is given the shape of a sheet. In the manufacture of slabs, formaldehyde resins are used; they are an additional component. The difference from simple chipboard is the coating with a film made of paper and melamine resin. In terms of environmental indicators, it is better to use materials of class E1. Laminated chipboard boards have good compaction, due to which furniture made from them is strong and has long term services.

Fastening the rails to the cabinet door

If you think that this material has the same composition, then you are mistaken. Based on their coating, they are divided into veneered, rough and laminated. Based on their quality composition, they can be divided into three grades: first, they use first-class sawdust (usually wood of the same species). The surface is flawless, not a single chip. The plate is decorated, laminated with film or veneer. Second grade – you can already see small defects. There may or may not be cladding. Third, there are already noticeable defects here. Such slabs are not covered with anything.

Until the cabinet is fully assembled, make sure that the attached parts do not tilt, as the fasteners may break off.

In addition, laminated chipboards are moisture-resistant and fire-resistant (withstand high temperatures). They are mainly used to make furniture frames, but are also used in the production of partitions or used as interior decoration. It is worth mentioning that laminated chipboard, due to its composition, perfectly holds nails and screws.

In order to give rigidity to the wardrobe, it is necessary to secure the back wall.

The main “steps” for assembling sliding wardrobes with your own hands are indicated in the instructions.

Furniture made from these boards has many advantages compared to other materials.

• Acceptable price indicators.
• No difficulties in manufacturing.
• Good quality.
• Significant period of use.
• Diversity color range and decoration. This will help you choose the perfect furniture for the living room, kitchen or children's room.
• Blends perfectly with other materials.

Such furniture looks great in any interior.

Another important feature of laminated chipboard is that these boards have heat and sound insulation. Therefore, they can be used to cover the walls of a room.

Make sure that the holes for the shelves and hanger rod mounts match the holes on the opposite rack.

Also, if you have started remodeling an apartment/house, knowing how to assemble a wardrobe yourself will help you easily and quickly resolve the issue of moving this furniture.

What tools are needed

Significant expenses in purchasing the tool will not be required. To collect kitchen set, closet or hallway, you need to have the usual set of tools: a screwdriver, a hex key for confirmation, a screwdriver, various drills, a bat for confirmation, an awl, a pencil, a tape measure, a square, fine-grained sandpaper, an electric drill, a stationery knife, an iron, a knife - jamb, rubber mallet, clamp for parts.

The distance between opposite corners should be the same.

Assembling a wardrobe with your own hands is quite easy and anyone can do it simply by following the instructions.

It is unrealistic to guess what tools will be needed to assemble furniture. It depends on what kind of project it is - difficult or not.

Now you need to install the wardrobe doors.

To open a closet, you don't need to remove chairs or move other furniture.

Preparation before assembly

First you need to prepare the room. The final outcome of the case depends on this, how much time you spend on work. Important point- so that nothing interferes. Make sure all materials and necessary tools are at hand.

As a depth limiter, you can use a 6 or 8 plastic dowel mounted on a drill.

With the help of a wardrobe you will visually divide different zones in a room, for example, a working room from a recreation area.

Assembling furniture at first glance seems simple. Many people make mistakes, resulting in defects: the doors and sashes do not fit together well, the doors can creak when opening, misalignment of the holes causes misalignment of parts, furniture does not stand securely on the floor. To avoid this, you must adhere to certain rules and instructions.

Built-in wardrobes are very popular in interior design. various models made from natural and artificial materials.

Some models of wardrobes can be transformed to suit the features of the room: the presence of a corridor, recesses in the wall where the wardrobe can be placed.

Main assembly steps

The wardrobe is assembled strictly according to the diagram, vertically or horizontally. The second option is better, this way you can prevent skewing of the parts being connected. If the ceiling height does not allow you to raise ready-made wardrobe, then it is better to carry out work in a vertical position.

You can easily assemble a sliding wardrobe with your own hands if you follow the step-by-step instructions.

In such a closet you will place twice as much clothes without the expense of the enormity of the furniture itself.

The first step is to attach the base and adjustable legs to the bottom. They are necessary if the floor is uneven. Next, we begin assembling the body. We connect the sides to the base. To make the structure durable, we attach an intermediate rack and a shelf. This is necessary so that the sidewalls do not tilt. Then we screw the remaining parts and attach the lid. It is advisable not to nail the back wall, but to screw it with self-tapping screws. At this stage we put the cabinet in its place. We install guides for drawers, holders for shelves, and a bar for hangers. Check that the drawers should slide out smoothly.

You need to familiarize yourself with all the details of the product (so as not to confuse anything during the assembly process and not have to start all over again), prepare the tools and the place where the assembly and installation will take place.

This work will take a lot of your time.

Next up is door installation. First we attach the guides, then we fix the rail with self-tapping screws. We insert the doors, check that they open and close smoothly. Adjust them if necessary. Lastly, glue the sealing brushes. We attach plugs to the confirmation holes.

As a rule, sliding wardrobes, like all furniture, are assembled in the lying position of the cabinet.

Do not warp the cabinet parts, keep the corners straight.

To summarize, we can say that assembling a wardrobe is not like that. hard work. Your desire, skill and ability will allow you to do this without difficulty.

After you do everything, be sure to check how the doors work (do they creak, move freely, etc.), how securely the shelves and other parts are fastened.

Be careful that until the cabinet body is assembled and the back wall is installed, all fasteners can be easily broken.
