Corner stand under the sink for the kitchen

When planning the atmosphere of the kitchen, special attention should be paid to the location of the sink. This attribute usually takes quite a lot of space. You can solve this problem by installing a corner cabinet under the sink for the kitchen. This element of the headset will fit perfectly in both spacious and small room.

Floor corner stand is quite common in modern kitchens. It is characterized by several advantages:

• Takes up a lot less space, saving space. To achieve this positive effect, you need to correctly pick up all the other attributes of the kitchen set.
• High level of ergonomics. In such thumbs you can place quite a lot of things. Many models of the headset are complemented by several sliding systems and a set of drawers. Thus you can choose the desired level of comfort and functionality.
• Practical design allows access to the entire space, using it to solve various problems. For example, the L-shaped pedestal provides a full view of the entire site, while trapezoid-like structures contain special rotating trailers. Such systems can travel outside, providing easy access to all their parts.
• Modern design. They make cabinets in a very different color characteristics, which allows you to choose them for any interior style.

But this type of kitchen cabinet is not universal and has several negative characteristics:

• A relatively small container for collecting garbage can be placed inside the box. This creates discomfort for families of several people.
• The reliability of this system is much lower than straight construction. This is due to their form, which is poorly opposed to various physical activities.
• High cost in comparison with standard modifications.

The technical characteristics of the kitchens can be different, which does not always allow installing a standard headset model there. Therefore, manufacturers produce these designs in several basic versions:

• With a right angle. Such a product resembles the outside of ordinary straight systems that stand next to each other. Most models are equipped with two separate doors without an internal partition. There are also cabinets, which are equipped with one door in the form of an accordion. This simulates two separate cabinets. Most often, various shelves and holders are attached to these surfaces.

• With beveled corners. These types of products have the form of a trapezoid or a triangle. They fit perfectly in any interior. The disadvantage of such systems is difficult access to remote corners. Therefore, to solve this problem, it is necessary to place the objects inside the container. Very parts complete with such stands are special roundabouts, allowing you to conveniently fill the container.

The kitchen bollard is a fairly simple design that can be easily built with your own hands using simple drawings. Also for such purposes it is necessary to choose the right material. Today, such structures are made of:

• LDSP. This material is the most inexpensive, so relatively inexpensive headsets are formed from it. Among the shortcomings can be identified a high probability of formaldehyde resin release if the lining is damaged or the edges are of poor quality. The material is afraid of water and quickly collapses in a wet room. Experts recommend purchasing kitchens made of high-pressure laminate.

• MDF. Kitchen cabinets of this material have quality indicators of strength and environmental safety. The plates are made by hot pressing using only natural glue of lignin and paraffin. Under the sink, the designs finished on top with high-quality HPL plastic are perfect.

• Array Wooden cabinets are relatively rare, as their price is quite high. At the same time, the material is also easily affected by moisture, like all the products discussed earlier. In order for such a structure to serve for a long time, you should constantly care for it. One of the positive aspects of this material is the possibility of surface restoration.

The practicality of angular curbstones has already been proven by many owners. This design can be used to solve various problems:

• The container under the sink is perfect for storing various items. Increasingly, housewives place pet food, potatoes or large utensils here.
• If you put a washing machine in the kitchen, then the corner stand will be a great place to store washing powder, air conditioning and other household chemicals. For such purposes, you can choose a functional system of Ikea.
• The space under the sink is suitable for the location in it of the waste chopper, water heater or water treatment system. This will optimize the performance of these systems, as well as provide access to carry out repairs.

Assembling this part of the kitchen is easy enough. Before proceeding to the construction, you must first draw up a plan-scheme and select the appropriate materials (sheets, fasteners and fittings). The process of mounting the corner stand can be described in several steps:

• The blanks are cut according to the made or selected drawing. This work is best done on special machines to get even ends.
• Then collect the frame. To do this, all the walls are connected to each other with the help of corners or special fasteners. Pay attention to the size of the diagonals, which should be equal. This will eliminate the distortion of the structure.
• The final stage is the installation of doors and shelves (if they are assumed). For this you need to use only high-quality fittings. Before fastening the parts, it is imperative to carefully measure all distances so as not to get skewed.

Dimensions of structures of this type depend on the shape of the cabinet. So, trapezoidal products can be of two types:

• The cabinet is equipped with an outer wall 520 mm long, while the inner side reaches only 450 mm. The bottom of the module is in the form of an irregular hexagon. A feature of this design is the absence of the back wall and shelves.
• Cabinets are equipped with side walls of 520 mm, while the inner parts are 838 and 854 mm.The bottom shape is rectangular. This module has a large size, which allows you to put a large number of items in it. To connect the water pipe you need to cut holes in the cabinet body.

L-shaped pedestals are characterized by the following standard sizes:

• the length of the side walls is 520 mm;
• back wall reaches 854 mm with only one inner sidewall.

Selecting an angular cabinet, you should consider a few simple rules:

• The distance between the sides and the surface of the cabinet should be about 5 cm. The optimal value for the modules of 60 cm will be the construction, whose wall width is not more than 55 cm.
• The edge of the table top should recede from the sink (excluded for overhead systems) by about 5 cm.. This will allow optimal access to the container and minimize the risk of splashes on the clothing.Please note that if you install the sink deeper, then you will be uncomfortable working with it.

Standard models of corner sinks do not have the versatility and practicality. To get a quality design, it is better to make it to order. It should have several functional features:

• The product must necessarily be equipped with a hinged door on top of the product. It can be used to store sponges and detergents.
• The inside of the door is complemented by several small shelves. This will allow you to store various items that you often use.
• Complete the set with a few hidden drawers. Here you can store not only cutlery, but also other kitchen stuff. It will not be superfluous as a folding container and other similar attributes.
