How to choose an aluminum profile for a wardrobe

As an advertisement

Now this piece of furniture is in almost every house or apartment, which, however, does not make it trivial. The popularity of sliding wardrobes is dictated, first of all, by the fact that they allow you to perfectly optimize space and store a lot of necessary things in a limited area, while being not only a convenient and stylish piece of furniture, but also in each case a unique element of the decor, in the creation of which the user is directly involved.

Cabinet design must begin with the choice of material. Not only the appearance, but also the service life and ease of use depend on this. One of the key components and the most important element of any wardrobe is sliding doors, namely their opening mechanism, the choice of which should be approached as responsibly as possible. Firstly, during use they will be subject to physical impact dozens of times a day, so the sliding door system must withstand such loads. Secondly, doors are the face of the cabinet, and the profile framing the door leaf should look harmonious and presentable.

One of the most common materials for making profiles is aluminum. Aluminum profiles have enviable durability and low weight. In addition, during operation they are less noisy than their steel counterparts.

Typical problems that users encounter when choosing aluminum profiles:

  • Promoted European brands are very expensive and are not represented by a sufficient range due to the lack of wide distribution. Hence the high cost of the finished product and the insufficient number of colors and decors, which limits the possibilities of using the profile in “designer” interiors.
  • Some domestic manufacturers, in order to reduce costs, simplify profile designs, which entails the unreliability of the sliding door system and its fragility. It happens that the profile is made with a thickness of 0.8 mm, while the structure does not have additional reinforcements, which, again, can lead to deformation of the door and other defects.
  • There are also many complaints about the durability of the decorative coating of domestic profiles. It is often made poorly and is subject to abrasion and fading during use.

At the same time, many shortcomings appear precisely during operation, when the cabinet is already assembled, and replacement or repair is very problematic and costly. To get rid of possible negative consequences, you should choose a reliable and reputable manufacturer.

GRANDIS has been one of the leading domestic manufacturers of aluminum profiles for furniture cabinets and sliding doors for more than 15 years. Modern high-tech production facilities plus careful quality control and a creative approach allow the company to satisfy the needs of the most sophisticated customer.

In the manufacture of profiles and components, only high-quality aluminum alloy from primary raw materials is used, and GRANDIS high-precision equipment allows you to be confident in the quality of the finished product. Accurate calculations and perfect adherence to dimensions allow us to achieve maximum ease of assembly and reliability in the use of furniture systems. Strict adherence to production technology and quality control at all stages completely eliminate the possibility of defects.

The GRANDIS profile is available in two series: Premium - profile wall thickness 1.2 mm, and Ecolight - wall thickness 1 mm. At the same time, the design of the lightweight Ecolight profile has been improved and strengthened, which guarantees its reliability and durability.

Also in September of this year, the company’s product range included a new system for sliding doors with a thin profile, NEO-Light, which allows doors to be assembled in a narrow frame with a minimum amount of visible aluminum frame. The width of the front part of the profiles is only 10 mm, and the lower rollers, thanks to design features, are hidden in the body of the product. The visible parts of the vertical and horizontal profiles are located at the same level, resulting in a thin, solid frame framing the door. The NEO-Light system meets the latest trends in furniture design and fits perfectly into any modern interior.

Compared to most domestic analogues, aluminum profiles from GRANDIS have a number of advantages:

  • Profiles are universal. The same vertical profile configuration can be used in all offered systems: sliding-bottom support, sliding-suspended, folding-suspended and hinged. That is, it doesn’t matter at all what operating principle of the sliding mechanism the customer chooses for himself; he can use the vertical profile of the configuration he likes without any problems or additional searches.
  • During production, the entire profile goes through the stage of processing with fine shot, which gives it a perfectly even color without tints.
  • The groove design of vertical profiles deserves special attention. It is no secret that the quality of door leaf milling sometimes leaves much to be desired, and the thickness of the door leaf edge may differ from the established standard dimensions. Then, when assembling the sliding doors, it will either be loosely fixed, or the vertical handle profile will be tightly pressed onto the slab. With GRANDIS profiles, the groove for the sheet narrows closer to the inner wall, thereby reliably fixing the slab material in the vertical frame.
  • Special technology for the production of premium profiles guarantees its increased resistance to mechanical damage during transportation, assembly, and operation of the finished product.
  • A separate advantage is the widest range, including 8 types of handles in 22 decor options in various price categories. From the most budget ones - the V handle, which allows you to assemble doors from 16 mm leaf without using the upper and lower horizons, to the presentable profiles of the Premium series. The company's product range includes the widespread and popular C and CL-shaped handles, interestingly shaped symmetrical vertical profiles RH and 2H, as well as a number of exclusive and patented developments, such as the H-shaped handle, sliding-hanging, folding-hanging and hinged elements systems, etc. The customer can choose a handle with one (C, CL, V) or two (H, 2H, RH) working surfaces. The last three types of vertical profiles can also be used in the manufacture of interior doors and partitions. Also, handles H, 2H and RH can be additionally decorated with furniture edges of standard sizes, for example, in the color of the cabinet or, on the contrary, in a contrasting color.

At the same time, GRANDIS products correspond to the quality of European analogues and significantly exceed them in terms of affordability.

The company has its own warehouses in the Moscow, Samara and Rostov regions and carries out wholesale deliveries throughout Russia. You can purchase products at retail from GRANDIS dealers and partners in the regions.

Sliding door opening systems

A fundamentally different way of installing facades on furniture bodies. The doors are not attached to the body in any way, but slide along guides installed on the body. In this case, the sash itself can simply be moved to the side or folded. Or wound on the shaft.

Sliding doors

Sliding opening systems operate on the “compartment” principle; the door slides along guides to the left or right. Their disadvantage is that in the end we get limited access to the internal filling of the cabinet - exactly the width of one door.

There are two types of sliding systems – suspended and supported. The latter are also called roller.

Accordion doors

Their advantage over compartment doors is that we get full access to the interior of the cabinet. But this requires space in the front of the cabinet to fold the doors forward. But the compartment doors move in the same plane.

Furniture blinds and roller shutters

They are used in furnishing furniture much less than they deserve. The reason is that to install them, you need to allocate space inside the cabinet for the shaft on which the facade will be “screwed”. This is not always acceptable, especially in kitchens where every shelf is important.

Electric blinds are a new opening mechanism for kitchen cabinets. It looks very impressive and works without a shaft. But, like all mechanisms powered by an electric drive, it is not cheap.

How to install doors on the headset body yourself ↑

The appearance of the modules and the ease of their operation depend on the correct installation of the doors for the kitchen unit. If mistakes are made during installation, then even the most beautiful facades will look untidy, and the impression of the furniture will be hopelessly spoiled.

Advice. Learning how to hang hinged doors on cabinets is useful, but the ideal option is to entrust the assembly of the set to professional craftsmen. If you are not confident in your abilities, do not take the job.

Professional kitchen assembly

  • Calculate the required number of loops and select the appropriate type of fittings. If the cabinets are standard sizes, two to four hinges for each door are sufficient.
  • Attach the hinge cup to the door and the strike plate to the cabinet body, as shown in the photo below. Self-tapping screws, bushings, and Clip quick installation systems can be used as fastening elements.
  • Hang the door on its hinges, starting from the top. Make sure that the screw head fits into a special guide, if it is provided for in the design of the selected hinges.

Advice. Usually, there are no problems with installing kitchen doors, but there are some nuances. For example, to hang narrow doors it is better to use a short screwdriver. If there are more than two loops, it is more difficult to install the facades, but this task can be completed, especially if you have an assistant.
