Everyone wants to save their favorite thing for as long as possible. The service life of clothing depends not only on the care of it, but also on storage conditions. Currently, manufacturers of cabinet furniture offer a huge number of options for wardrobes for clothes. Today, many have discovered the convenience of pull-out hangers. Furniture containing moving systems is more spacious and comfortable to use. The decision to save the internal space of the cabinet appeared relatively recently and immediately received the approval of customers.
Sliding racks for cabinets and their features
Sliding wardrobe - a place to store not only the wardrobe, but also accessories. Often, a closet serves as a storage for bedding sets, blankets and pillows, reducing usable space for clothes. The best solution to optimize the internal content of the cabinet is to install retractable clothes hangers.
The principle of their device is that things are hung as compactly as possible to each other. If you install elevators with side and vertical mounting, then they can also be placed in the middle of the cabinet. The main feature of the retractable hanger is its versatility. Such designs are great for hanging shirts on trempels, trousers and skirts. Outerwear is usually stored in a closet located in the hallway. Filling it with movable elements to accommodate things will allow you to store voluminous jackets and coats for all family members in it.
Retractable clothes hangers and their types
Manufacturers make sliding systems on guides of two types:
- Roller - does not provide full extension. Most often used for drawers for linen. Its minus in the generated noise when the roller moves along a metal guide. The rotating element is complemented by a rubber pad.
- Ball system (telescopic) - does not create noise and allows the niche or hanger to extend completely. Its plus is its resistance to heavy loads. The guides are capable of supporting up to 60 kg.
Ball system retractable hangers can be of different types.
Storage device
The extendable clothes hanger in the cabinet is fixed to the side inner or top wall. Due to the system moving along the rail, you can extend the hanger completely. The design of the mechanism is made of different materials: wood, plastic, metal. The most commonly used combinations of metal and plastic elements. Their service life is much higher, they do not require special operating conditions. The loads that fall on the rail are quite large, so this is the most vulnerable part in the entire retractable system. It is the guide that most often fails: the rail or the ball that goes along it can burst.
There are mechanisms for different loads. So, in cabinets for outerwear, you need to mount rails and guides only from very durable materials. If the mechanism is installed for a wardrobe in the bedroom, then for things such as shirts, dresses and trousers, the slats may be less durable and light. You should always remember that the cost of the cabinet increases depending on the reliability of the system.
In which cabinets can sliding systems be installed
It is most advisable to install sliding hangers in wardrobes. For this, the piece of furniture must have certain parameters. The depth of the cabinet may be small, about 600 mm. Manufacturers often produce sliding hangers in sizes of 300 and 450 mm.
Such a system is very convenient for small rooms in which it is not possible to install full-sized furniture elements.
Retractable hangers are screwed to the upper shelf. It is very convenient to hang clothes on their shoulders or small details of the wardrobe on them.
Why use telescopic hangers
Ease of use of the cabinet with pull-out hangers is that things are parallel to the cabinet wall. This allows you to increase its capacity and expand functionality.
Retractable hangers are also used to store trousers, they are called scissors. The advantage of this system is that the clothes retain their appearance, and the hanger can be pulled out completely from the closet and get the right thing.
Retractable hangers are used for storage:
- trousers and skirts;
- ties and small items of clothing;
- shirts on the shoulders;
- dresses if the hanger is located at a sufficient height.
The retractable coat rack system can be folding or static. There are variations with the addition of bars for clothes, which are great for storing skirts and trousers.
Telescopic mechanisms have become a real discovery in the field of furniture production. With their help, you can organize your wardrobe and facilitate access to all clothes. The device of the system allows you to save a presentable appearance of things for a long time and does not require subsequent ironing.
