Ease of use, practicality and long service life of furniture largely depend on the quality of special components. The simple opening of the wardrobe sash, not to mention kitchen sets and hallway sets with a variety of ways to extend or move structural elements, is accompanied by the use of certain mechanisms, which are becoming more and more complicated every year. That is why buy fittings for furniture in a regular store is almost impossible and you should look for it in specialized centers of companies professionally engaged in the supply of components for manufacturers of a wide variety of furniture.
Cladding fittings
Fittings for finishing carry finishing functions and play an essential role in combining furniture with the overall design of the room. This includes products that remain visible after final assembly:
- A wide variety of handles for opening /closing cabinets, shelves, doors and drawers.
- Furniture locks that are used to lock certain types of cabinets, shelves, sideboards, dressers.
- All kinds of decorative elements in the form of front plates, top or bottom moldings, butt corners.
The main requirement for this type of fittings is its convenience, resistance to corrosion, preservation of the original color. As a basis, both natural materials (wood, non-ferrous metals) and artificial (plastic, plywood) can be used.
Hardware
The connection of various pieces of furniture is carried out using a number of special pieces, which include a classic wooden pin, connecting strips, hardware, dowels, cabinet holders. They allow you to deliver the furniture to the buyer disassembled and assemble it directly on the spot. If necessary, disassemble for rearrangement or transportation.
Furniture hinges
The most common type of fittings, the quality of which determines not only the convenience of opening the cabinet doors or shelves, but also the aesthetic appearance of the furniture facade. Skewed and poorly closing sashes are the result of the use of low-quality elevator hinges or lifting mechanisms (which open up or down).
When choosing or ordering furniture, specify what kind of fittings are used to assemble it, how high-quality and reliable it is, and whether it corresponds to the modern level of the device.
