As for custom-made kitchens, everything is a little simpler: you contact a specialized company, voice your wishes regarding the dimensions and design of the module and... in a few days you receive a ready-made kitchen set.

By the way, today manufacturers of kitchen furniture even offer such options when modules of the same brand, but of different series, can be assembled in various options- plain, light, dark, bright saturated colors or deep calm colors - everything will depend only on your taste and desire.

Types of modular kitchens

1. Standard or linear. In this case, the modular kitchen is assembled in one row along one wall. Another option for arranging furniture is called single-row, and it involves installing modules no more than three meters in length. This classic option is the most affordable solution for small apartments at the lowest cost. Linear kitchens are usually made from chipboard and MDF.
2. Double row. By analogy with the previous option, a two-row modular kitchen can be located along two opposite walls. This option is very convenient for those rooms where it is necessary to fill the kitchen space (for kitchens with an area of ​​more than 6 m2, a good solution would be to place the modules in two rows, one of which will be located along the wall, and the other parallel to it, but in the center of the room). At the same time, it is advisable to equip the working area separately from the dishwasher and grocery areas - this will greatly simplify the process of preparing food.
3. Corner. Such a kitchen will be convenient for small rooms where every cubic centimeter of space counts.
4. U-shaped. This module will take up three walls of your kitchen - but its capacity will be good. In addition, the U-shape of a modular kitchen always looks stylish. Are being manufactured similar options only to order, since in this case it will be necessary to take into account all the features of the layout of a separate kitchen.
5. Island and peninsula. In the first case, the module is assembled directly in the center of the room and is not at all dependent on other elements of the kitchen unit (for example, a dining area with a work surface or a module with a sink). The second option is the protruding part of a single module, which can also be used either as a bar counter or as dinner table. Both options are made from inexpensive MDF - mainly to order.

Materials for making modules

A modern modular kitchen in a budget version can be made from such inexpensive materials, like plastic, MDF boards, chipboard/fibreboard.

• Plastic. The main fabric of the module is MDF sheet, lined plastic coated. Today, modular kitchens made of plastic are the most common, having a stable coating that protects them from accidental minor damage(scratches, impacts) and high humidity. The advantages include a wide choice of designs, wide color palette and low cost. The plastic is also resistant to ultraviolet radiation - if exposed to sun rays onto the surface of the module, the color will remain the same (will not fade).
• MDF. The basis for the module body is MDF boards (fine wood fraction as an alternative to natural solid wood), with a facing layer of liquid PVC, acrylic, and thick veneer. The manufacturer can use metal or glass inserts as a designer decoration. Modular kitchens made from MDF will fit perfectly into almost any interior. Among the advantages, we note the environmental friendliness of the material, affordable price, and wide selection of designs.
• Chipboard. Unlike MDF, the base of the body of such kitchens is chipboard, with a thickness of 1.8 cm. Chipboard facades can be coated with a film and a protective varnish covering a decorative layer. The most big advantage modules made from this material - low price and variety of colors.
• Frame facades. They are a frame with the insertion of a sheet of another material (plastic, glass, chipboard, mirror surfaces). The advantage of such a module is the ability to replace the insert to suit every taste, which is another budget solution for those who want to “change the scenery” in the kitchen. Various colors, a combination of shades with the overall interior and an affordable price are the main factors of frame facade modules.

Modular kitchen with framed fronts

Since modern inexpensive modular economy class kitchens are made from MDF and chipboard, their service life is lower than that of kitchens made from natural solid wood. However, the operational period of such modular furniture can be extended if you adhere to the following recommendations:

• avoid the use of aggressive chemical substances(acetone or solvents containing essential oils);
• use only wet cleaning of surfaces - using laundry soap or soft detergent(the same applies to all accessories); when cleaning work surface When washing, use only products recommended by the manufacturer;
• wipe the cleaned surface dry soft cloth; at the same time avoid getting into large quantity water on work surfaces (for example, when preparing food in the work area) - plastic or MDF panels can swell from water and peel off;
• avoid mechanical damage surfaces as far as possible ( MDF surfaces more susceptible to scratches and chips than other coatings);
• for plastic surfaces - do not allow heated (over +100 C) dishes to come into contact with the surfaces.

When installing modules next to a stove (both electric and gas) at a distance of less than 2.5 cm, an additional gasket made of heat-resistant material is required; also necessary additional processing edges of working surfaces - you can use aluminum corners placed on a sealant, this will reduce the rate of peeling of the edge if moisture accidentally gets on it.

What materials are they made from?

• MDF is an advantage of this material its affordable cost and variability in forms due to flexibility and elasticity are considered. But here, too, there is one problem: the thin layer of coating with which MDF furniture is finished can begin to peel off in places of intensive use. This peeling will give your kitchen an untidy look, but it will last longer than if it is made of laminated chipboard.

What facades can be like?

• film is the most inexpensive finishing. A film coating that imitates a solid wood coating is stretched onto the base;
• veneer - this type of facade design is more expensive, but it also looks nicer. Also imitates wood finish;
• plastic is one of the most practical finishes because the material is strong, durable, easy to use and clean. However, you should abandon the gloss - this reduces the solidity of the design. Instead, look for matte or semi-gloss finishes;
• frame is not the most budget option, but it looks very stylish. A hardened steel is inserted into the aluminum alloy frame frosted glass or plastic. It looks fashionable and modern, but remember that the glass must be cleaned frequently, and the inside of the cabinet must be in order.

• two separate cabinets - hinged doors, which each open in their own direction, are not very convenient, since not the entire space is easily accessible;
• one L-shaped cabinet - one door that folds like a book when opened, providing access to a large interior space.
