Rails in the kitchen: design, main types and features of installation

Rails in the kitchen were probably invented by very practical people, because their use, on the one hand, allows you to save free space in this room, and on the other hand, makes it possible to easily restore order in the stocks of small kitchen utensils. Thanks to this useful invention, all frequently used items are always visible, and you only have to stretch out your hand to quickly get the thing you need at the moment.

Construction, finishing and materials

The word "rail" in English means rail or rail. Actually, this part is usually presented in the form of a crossbar with a diameter of 1.5 to 2 cm and is the main part of the railing system. The whole structure consists of a tube inserted into special holders, which, in turn, can be attached to any vertical surface. Rails in the kitchen are made of various lengths, but their sizes do not create any special difficulties: if necessary, the rail can always be sawed, and the ends closed with special decorative plugs. For the angular space, there are systems of bent pipes. Now let's talk about what the rails for the kitchen are made of. Chrome and nickel applied to steel are most common, but at the same time brass models are sometimes found. Valuable metals, including gold, are used as spraying in prestigious systems.

Types and equipment

All rails in the kitchen can be divided into two large groups: horizontal and vertical. The latter are most often used in island or peninsular type kitchens. Rotating shelves are installed on such systems, where you can place anything. The difference between horizontal and vertical rails is only in the installation features. As attachments, S-shaped hooks, metal mesh shelves, holders for foil, paper towels and polyethylene film, fixators-magnets for knives and other useful accessories are used.

Where and how to hang a railing in the kitchen

Usually devices of this type are installed in the apron area (this is the name of the wall space between the upper and lower kitchen cabinets). Sometimes the rails in the kitchen are hung in front or at the end of the countertop. Even less often they are fixed on the hood box, so that they hang literally from the ceiling. As for the installation, it is quite possible to cope with it yourself. At first, marking is done at the planned installation sites using the construction level. Then the screws are selected (if the ones that come in the kit do not fit), small holes are drilled in the wall and the final installation is performed. The installation features depend on the type of railing, but at the same time there are several general rules:

1. The choice of fasteners depends on the wall material. When installing, it is advisable to take into account the possibility of removal.
2. The rails in the kitchen should hang securely. If the hostess, while cooking, pulls hard on a towel or some other object, then the system must withstand such a load.
3. If the length of the device exceeds 100 cm, the mount must be installed in at least three places.
4. If there are several rails, it is recommended to adhere to symmetry during installation.
5. During installation, the holders are positioned so that the screws are in a position in which they will not be visible.
