The purpose of the bar for cabinets, the main characteristics

The sliding wardrobe is a multifunctional design that allows you to store a variety of things - from a tie with socks, to coats and fur coats. It is not surprising that the cabinet bar has ceased to be an ordinary holder for shoulders with outerwear; a holder for trousers, ties, belts has appeared.

Purpose and features

To make it easy to find the necessary clothes and accessories in the closet, you need special hangers, for which they install a bar for clothes. Such a bar is intended for convenient and comfortable storage of clothes. Having the holder of hangers at different levels, you make maximum use of the interior space of the wardrobe. On the crossbeams, dresses, shirts, t-shirts, blouses and outerwear will comfortably fit. At the second level it will be convenient to fold the pants, and on the side panels you can store ties, belts, and other small accessories.

If you correctly install the rods, then the number of shelves can be reduced to a minimum by occupying them with hats, small things, shoes.

The usual cabinet bar designed to store outerwear is characterized by a number of distinguishing features:

• shape - the holder for the cabinet can be oval or round. The first option is the most common and familiar, withstands heavy loads, does not deform when used. The profile has greater resistance, which makes the bar more rigid. It is mounted on special bar holders that securely fasten the crossbar immediately to the cabinet wall, or to the shelf located above. Depending on the model, they have a different shape and are designed for a different number of mounting screws. If the height of the pipe is more than 1 meter, it is recommended to reinforce it with additional fastening. The round shape implies the use of an oval chrome pipe with a diameter of 25 mm. It is fixed using special flanges that can hold the maximum weight of things;
• length - it is likely that under the weight of things the holder may deform (bend), therefore, regardless of the material of the accessories, it is recommended that the bar length is not more than 1.5 meters, especially with regard to storing outer clothing.

It is worth noting that in the case of using a round pipe, its length should not exceed 60 cm, if the size is larger, then it is more advisable to use an oval shape.

Varieties

Depending on the purpose, furniture manufacturers distinguish the following varieties of rods:

• retractable accessories such as microlift. The micro-lift system is used in wardrobes with a depth of up to 550 mm. The length of the structure varies from 250 mm to 500 mm. Retractable bar means lateral placement of hangers. The number of retractable structures is set at the request of the client. The advantage of accessories is that by placing several elements in the closet, you can efficiently sort the clothes;
• pantograph elevator - the design is suitable for the assembly of built-in wardrobes, whose height is more than two meters. The holder is mounted on top of the inner panel, falling to the level of human growth using a special mechanism, which makes it easy to remove or hang shoulders with clothes, to get things out;
• the standard bar is placed parallel to the bottom of the cabinet. An oval or round pipe is characterized by a high degree of strength. Depending on the length, a cabinet with two crossbars is possible;
• a hanger for trousers is usually located below under outer clothing. Externally, the design resembles a clothes dryer. It will be convenient to place trousers on it so that they do not crumple during storage;
• bar for accessories - the hanger is located on the side panels, cabinet doors. Designed for belts, ties, underwear (bras). On such a bar, small accessories will be conveniently located and easy to find.

Materials of manufacture

Planks for clothes are made of various materials - wood, plastic, metal. The type of material depends on the desired configuration and the dimensions of the cabinet. For a long time, the rods made of wood in the form of oval crossbars fixed inside the cabinet were considered ideal options. The tree has high strength, but the material is short-lived with moisture, so over time the wooden beams can deteriorate and bend.

In modern conditions, such furniture designs are made of steel and aluminum, a material that is both light and durable. The holder for the cabinet is most often made of steel. The crossbars of the standard sample are made of high-strength steel, the surface of which is then covered with a layer of chromium. Aluminum crossbars are much lighter than steel, in technological processing they are simpler, but they do not withstand high loads. For the crossbars on which outerwear will be placed, such material will not work. They are used to store light shirts, skirts, suits.

Plastic is used in the manufacture of rungs designed for small items. They recommend storing light things - trousers, skirts, belts, belts. It is desirable to arrange such slats below. Also, plastic is used as additional decorative elements of steel structures.

Nuances of fastening

Usually installation of accessories does not cause special difficulties, a problem may arise with its correct use. The bar for things is installed in such a way that it is used later for its intended purpose, things were stored compactly and conveniently. There are 2 options for mounting standard and retractable crossbars: transverse, longitudinal. The following factors influence the choice - the depth of the cabinet itself and the width of the section where the bar will stand:

• longitudinal installation - a classic wardrobe familiar to everyone. The design will be appropriate in wardrobes whose depth exceeds 550 mm. A wardrobe with a length of more than 2.5 m will originally look with two bars, dividing the interior into zones: male-female, spring-summer-autumn-winter;
• the transverse installation will be relevant for sliding systems (lift), do not recommend using an oval or round bar. This holder allows you to maximize the use of the useful space of the wardrobe, especially if the depth is less than 550 cm. Cross fastening is a characteristic feature of modern sliding wardrobes. According to the standards, the micro-lift is mounted inside the space on four screws designed for a certain weight. Install a more powerful fastener that will withstand heavy loads, using large screws for fasteners. As in the previous version, it is possible to divide the space into zones according to season, gender, and purpose of clothing.

The bar, on which clothes will be stored in the closet, plays an important role in everyday life. The clothes will hang evenly, will not wrinkle, there will be enough space in the closet to store many more things. Only a correctly selected and installed crossbar will achieve this.

As it turned out, in a cabinet with shelves below, the crossbar is a necessary element of the effective use of usable space. It can be used to store light and bulky items that will be compactly placed in a closet. Even a cabinet with a bar without shelves will allow you to hide many things from prying eyes, placing them depending on the time of year, accessories and need. And each wardrobe to choose, everyone decides for himself.
