In the photo you can see these futuristic models.

Advantages and disadvantages

Radius sliding wardrobes, when compared with swing ones, have a number of advantages. In addition, that furniture of a radiused shape is attractive, looks interesting, it is quite functional.

Pluses of radius cabinets:

• take the place unsuitable for other types of furniture, the so-called "blind corners" (those where you cannot put a swing cabinet);
• the rounded shape is considered the most ergonomic, so the corner closet despite the fact that it takes up little space, roomy in volume;
• due to this, free space appears in the room;
• a cabinet with mirror surfaces can modify the space, make the room visually larger, smooth out protruding corners;
• radial segment harmoniously fits into any apartment;
• this can be seen by looking at the photo of the interiors.

The disadvantages of this type of furniture include a high cost, in comparison with conventional cabinets, the complexity of installation. Hinged cabinets are significantly inferior to radius cabinets in terms of external attractiveness.

Kinds

Radius corner cabinet can have a different shape, mounted in corners with different radius: 90 degrees, offset and beveled, deployed.

The main types of radial cabinets:

• convex, the door is rounded outward;
• concave, radial doors curved inward;
• corner cabinet with radiused doors of a wave-like shape, where there are concave, convex, straight surfaces;
• furniture in a semicircular format, it can capture not only the corner, but also part of the straight wall.

A corner radius cabinet can only be mounted in a corner or have a continuation along the wall. In this case, straight, concave are added to the radial sections. The ending is often done with small cabinets, slanted at an angle. The photo shows such samples.

Radially outward

Convex segments are most often used in hallways and bedrooms as a small dressing room. They are quite roomy, occupy an angle into which standard furniture does not become. Swing straight models in these parameters are significantly inferior to the convex shape.

The filling of such furniture depends on the location and purpose. In the closet, which is located in the hallway, make a compartment for outerwear, with a bar or hanger, shelves for hats and shoes. In mini wardrobes, this will be a compartment for things that are hung on a coat hanger, a linen department and shelves for shoes that are stored. Now on the furniture market there are a lot of special accessories for various kinds of things: laundry baskets, ties, and scissors that extend on rails. Very convenient to use the lowering bar, pantograph. The convex segment, depending on the radius, allows you to conveniently place all these things. Radius cabinets of this type are most in demand.

Various types of decors are made on the facade of the semicircular surfaces of corner cabinets, which makes them more aesthetically attractive.

With radial surface inward

A segment with a concave radius may adjoin a corner. Such cabinets often connect L-shaped furniture. They are not very spacious, so they are used mostly for all kinds of linen shelves. But it is the concave segment that is often used by interior designers. It harmonizes, modifies the space, connects individual elements into a single ensemble.

Sometimes a concave module is used to hide some protruding injection. This is especially true for houses built in a monolithic-frame way. Support columns can protrude in the most unpredictable places. Quite often, this segment is used as a decorative one; composite materials made of plastic fit well on the facades.

Combined

Rounded segments, concave and convex in shape, can alternate with straight modules. Thanks to this, the furniture takes on an unusual shape, and in itself is an element of decor. Corner sections connect the cabinet, so that the furniture takes a holistic look. Photos of such cabinets are often found in home improvement magazines. To furniture did not look monotonous, use combined materials. For example, a module with a mirror, panels of different colors, open elements. There can be two rounded segments. Corner modules, with internal radii, connect the cabinet as a whole.

In addition to facade decors, most of the furniture designs are equipped with furniture highlights. Light gives it an additional appeal. The backlight is convenient for using furniture. It looks especially impressive on the facades of light furniture, with mirrors, on composite materials.

Semicircular

The semicircular module is used mostly as mini dressing rooms. As an angular module, they are installed in the halls, where there is no opportunity to put a large upright cabinet, but there is an angle. In this situation, he helps out, since it is quite roomy. Direct models with corners are not very convenient for such small rooms. This furniture is also mounted on a straight wall, if it fits into the concept of the room.

Materials of manufacture and design of the facade

In the photo on the Internet of cabinets with rounded doors, you can see that most of them with decors on the facades. Before you consider what techniques are used for the radius segment, you need to focus on the materials of the facades.

The most common type of door is from MDF panels. This is a plate made from the smallest wood shavings, vacuum pressed. During processing, it can be bent to a different radius.

The mirror and glass facade are made of tempered glass, which are bent at a certain radius. Such a corner door looks impressive, but is quite expensive. Glass facades are mounted in an aluminum profile, bent on special equipment (rollers).

Nowadays, facades made of composite materials have become popular. These are various plastic bases, consisting of various components, plastic resins. Their advantage is that they are not as heavy as glass facades. They have a wide range of colors, a variety of textures. Models of such furniture are often found in the photo of the interiors of leading designers.

Wooden radius doors are extremely rare. Their manufacture is quite time-consuming, requires special skill. In addition, they are quite expensive. Furniture filling is made of laminated board. It is an affordable and practical material.

A convex or concave door requires stiffeners, so they are inserted into the frame from an aluminum profile. Which makes it possible to redistribute the loads, they are easily inserted into the guide rails.

Two types of sliding systems are used, lower supporting and upper supporting. Most manufacturers prefer a cabinet with a lower support, since in this case the load is distributed more evenly, the door travel is soft and quiet.

Cabinets with convex and concave surfaces are additionally decorated. For these purposes, use the following techniques:

• photo printing;
• sandblasting pattern;
• fusing;
• facade painting;
• combined inserts.

A cabinet with such decors can transform any interior. Photo printing can be of several types. The press on a self-adhesive film. This is the easiest way. Its disadvantage is that the pattern may fade, fade over time.

There are paper media with various textures, including imitating murals. Pictures are glossy, matte. The disadvantages of this photo printing are the same as the film. True, the picture itself is better. Printing on glass, UV printing (ultraviolet). In this way, you can apply the picture on different surfaces. This is the most durable photo printing, but more expensive. It takes more time to apply.

When sandblasting, the pattern is applied according to the pattern with an air-sand jet, which is fed under high pressure. The simplest image is applied in one layer. It is possible to process glass on one or two sides. Depth of drawing drawing varies.

Fusing resembles a mosaic, pieces of colored glass are melted at high temperature (up to 1000 degrees). They are given a certain shape. Then glued to the surface of the radius cabinets. Such a door can be used to paint any room. There are special paints that then harden and hold fast to the facade. For different surfaces, certain types of paints are intended. Another way to decorate is a combination of different materials. For example, an insert made of glass, leather, textured fabrics and so on.

Filling and Dimensions

Depending on the size, location of the cabinet, its filling is formed. Conventionally, radial cabinets can be divided into small, so to speak, economy class, and larger models. Here are examples of the sizes of small, but quite roomy and functional, convex-shaped cabinets.

Where the attached wall is indicated, this is a module to which you can equip with a direct module, angular endings. An example of the dimensions of a semicircular cabinet.

The size of the furniture varies depending on the area of ​​the room and the design concept.

Ease of use, the functionality of the cabinets depends on the content. The modern furniture industry offers a wide range of accessories for filling furniture, we will dwell on them in more detail:

• for rational use of the upper space, a pantograph is used. It is a bar with a lowering mechanism (oil or gas);
• sets of various hangers;
• specialized devices for storing ties, belts;
• comfortable trouser holders;
• baskets for underwear, sock, tights;
• shelves for storing shoes;
• in narrow cabinets, microlifts are convenient for use;
• small hangers for storing belts.

Most of these devices are made of light chromed metals, plastic. They are installed on guide rails, which greatly facilitates the use. Additionally, in the furniture, you can install a retractable ironing board, a holder for storing the iron. There are special niches for storing a vacuum cleaner. Wicker laundry baskets are popular.

Selection recommendations

Radius cabinets are often used to create a special atmosphere in the interior; they introduce an element of creativity. Perfectly fit into modern interiors. Composite materials are often used for these purposes. They are interesting in texture, they have a wide range of colors. In fact, the texture itself eliminates the use of additional decors. In this case, it is better to combine several types of composites, according to the color and texture principle. For example, radius doors in combination of silver panels in combination with fuchsia or light purple color really look enchanting. An additional top panel with backlight only enhances the effect.

For children, you can pick up almost any fun color scheme; MDF doors are usually installed. They have a higher degree of protection against mechanical stress.

Corner radius cabinets fit well into the classic interior style. For facades, it is more appropriate to use MDF panels, which can imitate the texture of any tree in different shades. In combination with sandblasting decors, fusing, furniture acquires additional appeal.

Style provence, country require the use of natural textures. Radius doors with imitation of straw, rattan, aged wood are suitable for these interiors. Painting with paints will only give them an additional charm.

If earlier radial corner cabinets were made mostly for the order, they were a kind of exclusive, but now many furniture manufacturers make them in series. A series of modular furniture with radius sections appeared.
