What happens in the end - we can only guess, hoping that the kitchen will become the favorite room in the house. Matter of prestige and not just the first step when buying a kitchen - the choice of materials from which it will be made. "Person" headset - it's his fronts, so the focus we pay for them. So, according to the type of materials used all the food can be divided into the following categories: the facades of solid wood, with facades made of MDF with metal facades, with a cost-effective facade of particleboard. The most expensive dishes and are representative of the array. Typically, this headset performed in classic style. In their elegant shapes and exquisite decor are combined with the power of modern cuisine: all elements of the most functional and adapted for easy cooking in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for not only cooking, but also aesthetic pleasure. The doors of oak, beech, walnut, ash, cherry, black cherry, locust, linden, and other wood look nice and cozy. Considered the most valuable furniture of oak - a traditional symbol of reliability and stability. Oak refers to the so-called Sound tree species. Its timber, except for the top ring in a special way samokonserviruetsya: inner rings are not involved in life processes, are impregnated with special materials and kameneyut "during the life of a tree. This explains the high strength of oak, including resistance to high humidity, which is especially important in the manufacture of kitchen furniture. In addition to all oak - one of the most beautiful drawing, making oak furniture has a distinctive refined look. Especially valuable is the bog oak. This oak tree trunks that had lain a few hundred or even thousands of years under water. Bog oak wood is so strong that, with difficult to process.

Beech is hard, durable, well-stained walnut and mahogany, is particularly suitable for the production of bentwood furniture. An elegant solution for any interior - furniture in cherry, natural radiant heat and has a quaint, mild textural lines. Cherry wood is very decorative, has a beautiful pinkish-brown hue. The hardness is significantly softer than oak, and lends itself well to all types of processing. Whitish wood with lots of small spangles, giving the wooden surface softness, a maple. It tolerates wet, well-tint, so it is used to simulate the acacias and boxwood. Today, many scares fairly widespread view of the complexity of caring for wood furniture. However, fear not: other materials not less whimsical, they must also be protected from dampness and temperature extremes, chips and greasy spots. We must not forget that the tree is a special treatment: it thoroughly dried and covered with a special composition for protection against environmental influences. Some factories, such as using special multi-layer coating of wood, through which the tree is so protected, that can be used for the manufacture of countertops and edging the ends, including next to the sink. The details have made the kitchen a few layers of lacquer are applied, resulting in furniture retains its beauty and durability for many years. Instead, the array can be used MDF coated with natural veneer. Today, manufacturers of kitchens offer more than 80 types of veneers: from birch, bleached oak, wenge and rosewood to exotic Zebrano, palm, mandrake roots, sycamore, broomstick, blackwood, myrtle, etc. When the mechanical damage from an array of cuisine to restore even easier than a kitchen made from artificial materials. Sometimes a scratch is enough to jam a special cement. If a deep cleavage, the wizard can be eliminated and this flaw.

With good care from an array of kitchen will serve more than one decade. Beauty at a reasonable price popular enough in recent years become a kitchen with facades made of MDF, covered with plastic sheeting. The main advantage of such products - the possibility to choose any color of the kitchen and order the fronts of any size. The film "under the tree" or monochrome color, matte or glossy - one of more than 100 colors certainly come to your decor. At the request of the customer inside of doors can be covered by the same film as the front side, which means that the kitchen would be virtually indistinguishable from wood. Often, manufacturers use the so-called frame fronts. With this option, the housing is attached kitchen first frame of the array, and then at her on the visible decorative noose hung door. In this case, the door can be either solid wood, and MDF, veneered or foil. In the latter case, the framework allows you to save the facades, as they are much cheaper than wood. Until now, the youth's favorite style of hi-tech as you can not expressively manifested in the kitchen with a metallic coating, which is used for both fronts and tops, and any other items. Metal is attached to the panels of chipboard, varnished or painted.

If the kitchen combined with living room, which has a fireplace, the material of his finishing is often used in kitchen cupboards. It is not necessary that the use of stone in the decoration of the kitchen will increase its value - is directly dependent on the breed of the chosen stone. For example, the use of limestone instead of solid wood will even allow you to save money. The most economical option kitchen - with facades of laminated chipboard. Laminated called chipboard, covered with a film based on thermosetting polymers (paper-resin). At the beginning of the production of a film is a plain paper and is connected to the DSP by pressing. Modern technologies allow to produce paper of different textures and shades, so the type of chipboard is very varied. Huge selection of textures and colors, imitating the surface of natural wood, strength and resistance to thermal stresses, low price - the main advantages of chipboard. Plates are glued together well, they can be painted, brick veneer, paper and plastics. However, to furniture, veneered wood veneer, which is an array of products can often be distinguished only by experts, sets of laminated chipboard still fall short. Choosing a specific material for the kitchen depends entirely on the capabilities and aesthetic preferences of the buyer. From a technical point of view, any material has its advantages and disadvantages of the main well is the quality of the selected product that is completely dependent on the manufacturer. If the material is difficult to decide, in one project can combine two models of the facades. Sometimes a combination of radically different stylistic solutions (elements, different material, color, texture and form) can give a kitchen unbanal form. TIPS LGL When selecting the firm advise the seller to compare prices order a preliminary calculation of the kitchen in a few firms, it is desirable to use light fixtures.
