HIDDEN COLUMN

HIDDEN COLUMNIn older homes often the meter mounted in a small wall niche not only Can decorate it, but generally prudently to use this space, embedding here a simple rack-column Design it is not difficult, because in contrast to the modern furniture it has no load-bearing side panels — their function will take on the niche wall to which left and right will be mounted stand — a support for shelves and doors.

 

Because the racks are connected directly with the walls of the opening, they will not require a solid section of the bars is quite suitable wooden planks or thin boards type of lining Of them almost will be produced and all other parts of the Cabinet.
 
All stands will need four, two on the left and right. They are connected in pairs (front rear) by means of horizontal cross-beams, which simultaneously will serve as a support for shelves and for mounting krysheval and bottom panels. Optionally, the left and right pairs of uprights between the cross bars can be covered with thin plywood or hardboard.
 
Shelves and panels are cut from thick plywood (or particle Board if the width of the niche is large). In configuration they are all the same. For the main side (no skin) at the corners of the shelves are cutouts under the rack.
 
In this way the shelves can not be attached to the crossbars as they are with careful execution will fall into place like a glove. The same goes for the bottom panels, only the roof will have to beat from the bottom to the top crossbars.
 
Built-in wardrobe-column
 
Built-in wardrobe-column (A — version with the inner lining of the side Assembly B—Assembly speaker without a covering; the dimensions of the parts in place):
 
1 — rack sidewalls, 2 — crossbars, 3 — shelf, 4 — meter, 5 — roof panel, 6 — bottom panel, 7,8 — frames, 9 — inner lining sidewalls wardrobe

 
From the same material as the shelf panels, it is possible to procure and doors for Cabinet (on the drawings conventionally not shown). If this CPD — they definitely need to have both sides painted with enamel paints (not only aesthetic, but also for environmental reasons). Plywood, especially with a textured wood surface, it is better to thoroughly sanded and capping light or dark furniture Polish (depending on environment).
 
However, there is a simplified version of the finish of the doors — just Wallpaper in the color of the walls, especially if the Cabinet wants to “disguise”.
 
Hung doors on any of the furniture hinge including piano or the so-called Vostochnyi.
 
Remains the final operation — framing the facial contour of the Cabinet to give it a completed look. To do this, the perimeter of the wall to fill the frames (of the same planks that were used for the uprights). They are also pre-painted or varnished — depending on the finish of the doors of the Cabinet.
 
Such a “hidden” column is not only “hide” the meter, but will allow you to store all sorts of odds and ends.
