Varieties

There are a lot of criteria by which you can choose double-wing cabinets. By type of door opening:

• hinged - suggest the presence of valves, for the opening of which additional space is required. Their mechanism is usually strong, durable;
• compartment - for opening the sliding two-section mechanism is used;
• accordion - doors fold in several places.

Depending on the design, the two-door cabinet is divided into:

• cabinet - a freestanding cabinet in the form of a box, which can be installed in any necessary place;
• built-in - its details are the walls and ceiling of the room, and it is custom-made;
• modular - consisting of separate sections, which are made in one style, color, and also - from one material.

By location and shape:

• normal direct - a classic version that can be installed almost anywhere in the room;
• angular - allows you to use the space of the angular niche to the maximum;
• radius - has an unusual shape, it is mainly used to complement the design of the room;
• built-in - avoids gaps, gaps between the cabinet and the walls, as well as use all the useful space.

Nevertheless, the main indicator that determines the choice is the purpose of the furniture. It defines in particular the appearance and internal content.

Depending on this parameter, the following types of structures are distinguished:

• a wardrobe for outerwear - set in the corridor, equipped with hooks, mezzanines for hangers, as well as sections for shoes;
• combined wardrobe - includes the maximum filling option;
• linen - for the most part consists of shelves and drawers;
• medical cabinet - can be divided into a separate category. It is distinguished by the special material of which it is made. This is mainly galvanized steel, which allows you to store medicines and documents safely. Most often, the medical cabinet is equipped with locks or an internal safe. Depending on the purpose, they are classified into: MSH (catalog) and CMM (for storing drugs, instruments, as well as for medical clothing). Usually they are white or light gray.

It should be noted that there is an all-Russian classifier of products and services - OKPD 2. Each of the subspecies of 2-door wardrobes - medical furniture for work clothes, wardrobe with shelves and others, according to okpd 2, have their own number. OKPD 2 primarily helps to regulate accounting, tax and public procurement activities.

Materials of manufacture

If you do not take into account external fittings and decoration, almost all the furniture is made of materials based on wood in one form or another:

• Particleboard stands for wood chipboard. There are 2 types: regular and laminated - chipboard. Particleboard is made from wood waste - shavings, sawdust, by pressing with binders. Formaldehyde and phenolic resins act as “glue”, which is not environmentally friendly. In total, 3 grades of ordinary chipboard are distinguished by the quality of the material. The advantages of the material are its cheapness, and the disadvantages are fragility, fear of high humidity, limited application options;
• Chipboard - one of the types of chipboard, different from a conventional plate surface, which is coated with a special film of polymers. Such material is characterized by a large color variety, as well as relief options on the surface. Depending on these and other criteria, the chipboard is divided into many varieties, in addition, they are inexpensive, easy to process. The surface is practically not scratched, not subject to short-term exposure to moisture. Among the disadvantages, some unsafe components can be distinguished, to prevent the spread of which a tight fit of the closing edge is necessary;
• MDF is a wood-fiber board made using a press of fine wood shavings and special bonding elements. In the manufacture of natural components are used, which ensures the safety of this material. Another plus is its high strength, comparable to natural wood. The same property allows you to well hold fasteners. In addition, MDF has good flexibility, which can significantly expand the scope of its application for decoration and decor. A significant drawback is the high price, as well as the need to comply with a temperature regime of not higher than 70 ° C. This does not allow furniture to be placed near heat sources;
• Fiberboard - is made from wood chips and chips by the same press method. It does not differ in durability and strength. In a double-wing cabinet, the fiberboard is used exclusively in the form of rear walls or the bottom for drawers;
• wood is the most expensive and therefore not very common material for the manufacture of 2-door wardrobes. The main advantage of this material is beauty and a special chic, you can say the uniqueness of the interior. But it has a number of disadvantages: long preparation, in particular, drying; high cost of quality material; does not tolerate high humidity; careful maintenance is necessary to maintain a look and form;
• galvanized steel - used for the manufacture of special items, such as a medical cabinet.

Facade design options

All types of facades of cabinets with two wings can be divided into materials and additional elements used for decoration:

• plastic is a modern material that is very practical, inexpensive, and easy to maintain. Due to the variety of colors and shades, children's bivalve cabinets are often made from it;
• Particleboard and MDF are coated with many types of coating: lamination, melamine, laminate, PVC film. Most of them are based on paper or polymers;
• glass trim elements have a wide range of applications: doors can be almost completely glass or cover the tree from above, transparent or matte, with engraving. Such options are rarely used to store clothes and other personal items. Most of all they are suitable for use in the kitchen and in medical institutions;
• mirror facades are used not only for practical purposes. Mirror inserts perfectly help visually increase the space, and are also suitable for dark rooms;
• photo printing or drawing on the facade allows you to create a unique interior. It is produced using modern technologies such as UV printing and laser engraving;
• natural wood or veneer - since natural wood in the manufacture of furniture is expensive, subsequent difficult maintenance, wooden veneer is often used instead. The following types are distinguished: planed, sawn peeled veneer.

A two-door wardrobe with the help of a facade determines not only the attractiveness, harmony of the entire interior, but also the ability to visually change the space.Choosing a facade, it is important where exactly the furniture will be located. For example, bright, saturated colors are chosen for children's rooms. If the room is small, then preference should be given to light natural shades - they will visually increase the space. Of particular popularity is white. White accents are used not only in the design of the room, but also in the selection of furniture. In the hallway, a 2-case cabinet with a mirror will be an ideal option.

Inner space

• shelves - very convenient for storing items, especially for storing laundry when folded;
