Apothecary cupboard pull-outs: Stylish organisation in the kitchen
A larder unit with rail system offers you first-class options for keeping your kitchen organised. By keeping your kitchen utensils more organised, you will be able to add more flow and enjoyment to your cooking sessions. When you install a pull-out kitchen cabinet, the contents of the cabinet can be pulled out completely so that you have all your items in view. The special thing about it is that you can easily reach for the utensils you need without any barriers or contortions.
Why is the kitchen larder unit so popular?
Apothecary cabinets were originally only used in pharmacies to store a large number of small bottles and containers in an organised manner. As soon as you use a pull-out larder unit in the kitchen, you will most likely not want to do without it. Among kitchen professionals, it is considered a true storage space miracle that improves kitchen organisation in no time at all. A larder unit rail system is particularly functional, as it makes opening and closing smooth and effortless.
As soon as the cabinet is open, you can see the entire contents shelf by shelf from the side and can help yourself as required. The tedious search for cooking ingredients and utensils, which often occurs after some time in drawers, is finally a thing of the past.
Pull-out larder unit with adjustable interior dividers
Both enthusiastic amateur and star chefs will appreciate the ability to adjust the height of the shelves and baskets in the cupboard with pull-out. If you want to store larger items such as muesli, flour or pasta, it is best to leave a little more space to the next shelf. If, on the other hand, you want a smaller storage space for spice jars, you can reduce the distance in a few simple steps. In this way, you will be able to customise your apothecary cabinet as you wish.
Where does the apothecary cabinet get its name from?
When storing medicines and substances, pharmacists need a perfect overview so that they have everything quickly to hand for their customers. You may be visualising a vintage cabinet with a brown wooden front in your mind's eye. The modern pull-out kitchen cabinet, which you can find in many different versions in our range, is designed for kitchen use and meets the technical and visual expectations of contemporary kitchens.
Pharmacists also have access to the medication in the cupboard from both sides. While you are cooking, you have the option of leaving the cupboard open. The pharmacy cupboard pull-out then serves you the individual ingredients almost like on a platter. Think of spices, pasta and oils, for example. As soon as they are needed, you take them out and then put them back again with a flick of the wrist. With a fitting from Vibo, it's child's play to experience quality of life and enjoyment in the kitchen at home.
Pharmacy cabinet fittings in portrait format
The majority of manufacturers in the kitchen segment produce larder units in tall unit format. This can vary from a highboard with a height of around 150 cm to typical tall unit heights of more than 200 cm. The tall unit format is so popular because it proves to be extremely practical for organising packages such as spaghetti or cornflakes.
Base cabinet fittings in apothecary cabinet style
The intelligent technology in a larder unit rail system can also be used for base unit fittings. Fancy some inspiration? How would you like to use the base cabinet to store bread? This type of cabinet is just as suitable for storing bottles. If you opt for a narrower version, it can be fitted with towel rails for cloths and tea towels. Of course, you can also store baking trays and grill racks in a narrow larder unit.
The rail system for the larder unit as the centrepiece
A perfectly functioning rail system determines the efficiency of the cabinet. These systems are designed to glide smoothly and silently, even when fully loaded. There are different types to choose from depending on your needs and budget:
- Standard rail systems: For a pull-out kitchen cabinet, they ensure basic functionality. These systems are suitable for more manageable budgets.
- Premium rail systems: These systems give a larder unit pull-out additional functions such as soft-close, so that it closes gently and quietly. This can extend the life of the cabinet and offers you additional convenience in the kitchen.
- Heavy-duty runner systems: These are designed for heavy loads. This makes them suitable for a spacious rail system for cabinets in which you store many heavy items such as tins or glass containers.
Fittings for pharmacy cabinets: small parts with a big impact
The fittings for the larder unit include all the small metal parts and connections that hold it together and ensure its functionality. This includes hinges, screws, handles and other fastening elements. High-quality fittings are responsible for the stability of a rail system. We therefore recommend that you make sure that the fittings are robust and durable when buying a larder unit so that you can enjoy your kitchen organiser in the long term.
How do I choose a kitchen larder unit?
When choosing a larder unit for the kitchen, it is advisable to consider the following factors:
Size and placement: Measure the available space in your kitchen and choose a model that fits perfectly in this area.
Material and design: Which style suits your existing kitchen design? The type of cabinets are available in a variety of styles from classic to modern. Common materials include wood, metal and plastic.
Functionality: Think about which functions are most important to you. Do you want a cabinet with a soft-close function, Full extension runners or special interior organisation systems?
Quality of the runner system: Invest in a high-quality runner system so that your larder unit will last a long time with intensive use.
Easy installation of the kitchen cabinet pull-out
Even if you are a handyman, the installation of a larder unit should ideally be carried out by an expert. This way, you can be sure that the fitting on the kitchen cabinet is installed correctly. Incorrect installation can cause malfunctions and shorten the lifespan of the cabinet.
