Sizes of bottles: what are and how to choose?

Having decided to supplement the kitchen with a bottle-holder, the buyer often wonders about the size of the necessary pencil case. The material in this article will be useful to those who do not know what the dimensions of cargo are, and will tell you what to consider when choosing your option.

Bottles are nothing more than pencil cases for storing various items used in the kitchen. In fact, these are drawer-type or drawer-type shelving cases (often with a closer), which are built into the kitchen unit modules or placed between them, or even mounted in free places in the kitchen. Based on the design features, models can have a different number of shelves, while storage systems are not only horizontal, but also vertical.

The main parameter of the bottle is its width: in comparison with ordinary drawers of the extendable type, it is only 10 cm or 100 mm. 10 cm is the narrowest width: it is not enough to fit dishes or any large objects inside, but it is quite enough to store small bottles with spices and spices. The height of such a product is comparable to the height of the headset in which the pencil case is built-in. Typically, these figures are 80-85 cm.

In addition to 10-centimeter models, the dimensions of bottles are considered standard with a base width of 15 and 20 cm. The wall thickness of the product in this case varies from 1.6 to 1.9 cm. Thus, the internal width decreases by a total of 3.2-3.8 cm.Sometimes the internal width of a retractable pencil case is only 8.6 cm. The entire kit is installed in a single box and can have a different number of dividers (from 2 to 4).

The height of small cargoes usually does not exceed 50 cm with a width of the box itself 10-15 cm. Floor models with legs have an average height of 720 mm. Cargo shelves are rarely identical in height. Usually one of them is taller, which is good for placing bottles with vinegar, a drink, vegetable oil.

Typically, manufacturers make shelves up to 38-40 cm high. The lower compartments often have a height of about 15-20 cm. However, depending on the design nuances of the base itself, they can vary. For example, some shelves have a height of only 9 cm, for other models it can be 12 cm. Sometimes the distance between the bottoms of the upper and lower shelves is 50-53 cm. At the same time, the upper shelves can be designed for low storage items in contrast to the lower compartments.

The depth of the cargo box, regardless of the number of rows with shelves and containers, will be equal to the depth of the headset. On average, it can be 49-50 cm. However, the depth and height of the internal structure with opening and closing mechanisms without a facade is less.

The internal filling, based on the dimensions of the headset boxes themselves, can be 111x470x460 mm, 112x4496x477 mm. The minimum installation depth is 394, 494, 460, 294 mm. When buying, for example, a product with a total depth of 48 cm, it is worth considering: the depth of the drawer will be approximately 44 cm. The same rule applies to models with a width of 15, 20 cm, a height of 84-85 cm, and a depth of 60 cm.

This line includes models of kitchen bottles with a base width of more than 200 mm. They are distinguished by a large carrying capacity, in addition, the wider and more cargo, the more stable it is. However, in these models, the width of the facade and the width of the inner filling differ. For example, if the width of the box is:

• 300 mm, cargo width will be 264 mm;
• 350 mm, then the bottle stand will be less than 6 cm and amount to 314 mm;
• 400 mm, the parameters of the internal filling will be 364 mm;
• 450 mm, the design of the pencil case will be 414 mm wide.

The depth for wide models can be 460 and 510 mm. The carrying capacity of these products is 25 kg, for narrow analogues it is usually 2 times less. These modifications have a significant plus in comparison with narrow designs: they are more stable. Narrow ones have to be filled completely, because when you extend a half-filled pencil case, it starts to fall over.

When choosing, for example, an option with a height of 720 mm, it is worth considering that inside the filling will be much less in height. This is necessary for placement of fastening systems and comfortable extension, as well as closing. For example, at this height, the inner frame of the bottle carrier will have a height of about 60 cm. If this parameter is larger, it simply will not be possible to store any objects on the top shelf.

Non-standard options include the so-called column cabinets. These small bottles usually have a frame height between 1600-1800 mm with a box width of 150 and 200 mm. As a rule, these are multi-level models with a height equal to the height of the refrigerator, since they are installed next to it. Typically, these models have an internal filling of five rows with shelves or vertical storage systems that are designed for pans and colanders.

Besides, On sale there are modifications with dimensions of 1690, 1720 mm. Their depth is usually about 46 and 51 cm. Also in the line of shops you can find options for columns with parameters 1830x106x460 mm, 1830x349x448, 2250x249x448 mm. The facade width of 45 cm is considered non-standard, such cargo models are able to withstand a weight load of up to 120 kg, they are made of steel.

As a rule, the size of a particular model is selected based on existing furniture or the space between the modules, as well as taking into account the false module, if the installation is planned to be carried out in it. At the same time, it is important to determine the place in the kitchen, where there will be space for the bottle holder, taking into account the distance for its opening.

The size of the model may depend on its location, as well as the number of cargo. For example, if it is necessary to allocate a place for storage of detergents with the placement of structures under the sink, look at the total width of the sink. Most likely, in this case they will be narrow. If the table is united by a common tabletop, and the modular system allows variations with the design of the lower drawers, you can increase the width of each pencil case to 15-20 cm.

The size required for a particular kitchen may depend on the location in the kitchen, depending on its layout. For example, sometimes it has niches that can be used to install cargo. And here, the width and depth will be subject to the characteristics of the furniture that is installed in the niche. Besides, the width of the empty space that needs to be filled with a functional object for storing various kitchen utensils will also matter.

For example, if in calculating the width of the headset, taking into account the length of the wall, enough space remains, you can choose models with a larger width. You will have to go to the store with a construction tape, with which the owner of the house made the necessary measurements. It’s not worth taking it very close to the walls of the cargo: you must leave at least a minimum gap. In some houses, walls often lead, which is fraught with furniture, when it is barely squeezed into the length of the wall.

The depth of the model will correspond to the depth of the headset, since the facades of the bottle and the main headset should merge into a single line. They do not protrude and do not fail regardless of the type of cargo itself, the method of their attachment and the place of fixation. In addition, the desired size may depend on the location of the false module.

When buying, you can seek help from a sales consultant. Usually in stores today there are experts who are versed in the selection of sizes. However, if the consultant does not have the necessary knowledge, you need to rely on typical dimensions. For instance, in stores indicate the width not of the cargo itself, but of the boxes for which they are designed. Knowing this, it is not difficult to purchase the desired option.

Measure the distance at home and select the option between those parameters that are suitable for your kitchen. No complicated calculations are needed: if there is a place with a facade of 20 cm in the headset, your option in the store will be marked “200 mm wide”. The same applies to wider models, as well as non-standard baskets with a width of 40 cm or more. They are great for storing household appliances, pots, pots.

An important point will be the type of content that you want to remove from view. For example, for small things (jars for spices), the sizes can be compact and even minimal, for example, here you can get by with parameters 10 cm wide. If you need to remove pans from your sight, it’s worth taking a look at the options from 30 cm. However, provided that To accommodate these models will be a place. If you fundamentally purchase an autonomous version of the portable type, it is advisable to buy a miniature model.
