Base unit pull-out - making the best possible use of space
We've all been there: there is still storage space in the base unit. However, it is not utilised because bending down and clearing out, rearranging and putting away are too cumbersome. Physical circumstances also mean that storage space is not optimally utilised. A suitable pull-out that is fully customised to individual needs can provide a remedy.
Keeping an overview - full-extension base unit pull-out
Making things as easy as possible is a legitimate concern when cooking. Short distances and an everyday organisation system make a significant contribution to this. However, if you can't remember what's hidden at the back of the base units or have to move lots of other items to the side first, you're wasting time and effort.
Workflows are perfect when all kitchen utensils are within easy reach and every item has its own place. In kitchens with base unit pull-outs, it is easy to keep an overview in the truest sense of the word. What has been put away is completely visible when the pull-out is extended. Stocks can be checked quickly, pots and cooking accessories are within easy reach.
Perfect planning - pull-out for base units in the kitchen
Cabinets with pull-outs have long been established in the commercial sector. Widely known are the larder units with pull-out drawers, which have also become an established term for kitchen and home furniture. Small packages are stored on different shelves and can be easily removed and refilled from both sides. Even in professional kitchens, a functional pull-out base unit has long been a matter of course.
More and more kitchen builders and joineries are taking advantage of this practical function. Pull-outs for base units are particularly popular. However, the lower and centre sections of tall units with pull-outs can also be equipped in this way, as is increasingly evident in modern baking trolleys, for example. If you are planning a new kitchen, you can opt for practical kitchen equipment right from the start.
Retrofitting is also possible for many kitchens. It pays to consider your own working methods and preferences and, if necessary, integrate a pull-out for the base unit into the kitchen. Such a conversion can be realised in many prefabricated kitchens, as almost all of them follow widely used standard dimensions.
Another advantage of pull-out base unit drawers is that there is no need to stop the doors. The front is permanently integrated and, unlike hinged doors, there is no need for any opening space. As kitchen accessories, provisions and other useful items can be removed from both sides and from above, they are also ideal when space is limited and in the vicinity of other kitchen fittings.
Base unit pull-outs for the kitchen - how they work
Base unit pull-outs with drawers that can be extended simultaneously are among the most common models in the home. They are easy to install and are particularly suitable for retrofitting. Side grids or surrounds ensure that the stored items stand securely and cannot fall to the floor if they are pulled out too forcefully.
Different heights between the individual shelves help to make even better use of the space available. Heavy items are placed at the bottom, whereby the load capacity of the pull-outs must be taken into account. Lighter and smaller items are ideally stored on the shallower shelves.
Base unit organiser - a plus for individual organisation
The drawers in the base unit pull-out for the kitchen can be organised according to personal requirements for even greater convenience and clarity. Spice jars and small bags, fragile items such as glasses or small items such as cutlery are better protected by a base unit organiser and can be removed more easily and quickly.
There is also space in the base unit pull-out for the kitchen for the usual pan racks, lid holders and many more helpers that are already familiar from normal shelves. This makes perfect use of every centimetre, while also making storage and removal more convenient.
Modern kitchens - base unit pull-out with Softclose
Gone are the days when closing pull-outs too forcefully can damage the contents or disturb the neighbours in new builds. If the kitchen pull-out is equipped with Softclose, it closes slowly and almost silently, no matter how lightly or strongly the closing process is initiated.
Everything stays in place thanks to the deliberate, automatic closing. Even delicate items can therefore be stored in a kitchen base unit with pull-out with the Softclose function.
Functional runners - base unit with full-extension runners
Not only does soft closing contribute to the desired function of the kitchen pull-out, but also smooth-running runners. Deformation-resistant fittings are important to prevent jolting, which could also damage the stored items.
Last but not least, high-quality runners require less effort. Even a base unit with a full-extension runner can be moved into the desired position quickly and effortlessly. This is a further advantage, not least when accessibility in the kitchen is a priority.
High-quality surfaces - base unit pull-outs in the kitchen
Even extractor bonnets cannot always completely prevent grease deposits in the kitchen. That's why it's important to choose easy-to-clean and robust materials for the pull-out in the base unit in the kitchen. Stainless metal and high-quality melamine panels help to minimise the amount of maintenance required.
Cleanly finished melamine surfaces are also largely resistant to discolouration, scratches and other damage. This is another aspect that contributes significantly to the service life and neat appearance of the kitchen furniture.
Living with full-extension runners - creating storage space
What is advantageous in the kitchen also proves its worth in other living spaces and workplaces in the home. Base units in the children's room, utility room, hallways or home office also gain in convenience and storage space if high-quality full-extension runners are fitted here in advance or retrofitted.
