Now kitchen dish dryers are a necessary attribute and an important element of decor. Their range is huge: original desktop or wall-mounted models and built-in convenient drawer cabinets.

In a dryer mounted in a small cabinet above the sink, or in floor-standing models, we both dry and store dishes. The advantages of open dryers are their expediency and spectacular decorative effect: every day we turn our dishes into a kind of art object that complements the style of the kitchen.

Constructions

• The single-level dryer only holds plates and comes in both wall-mounted and tabletop versions.
• The two-tier drying rack is divided vertically for plates and horizontally for cups.
• In the dryer for all cutlery there are compartments for knives, spoons, forks.
• A universal dryer can also become a place for permanent storage of dishes.

Freestanding

There are a great many such models, as can be seen from numerous photos.

Peculiarities:

• There are samples with pallets of different shapes and without them, single-tier and two-tier. You can even buy models with sections separately for forks, knives, spoons.
• We fix the freestanding structure directly on the kitchen sink. Most often it is a dryer-lattice made of steel.
• Let's place the compact wall dryer above the sink. It is also advisable to hang it above the work surface if the dryer has a tray.
• Advanced models have a slope towards the bowl, from which water enters directly into the sewer.

• A large desktop dryer will even accommodate a festive service. We rarely use it, as an additional one, and the daily load is on suspended models that do not take up much space.
• The floor capacious dryer is a convenient cabinet with pull-out sections for plates, cups, bowls and other utensils.

Embedded

Peculiarities:

• The built-in sink dryer is an additional sink wing. The perforations on the wing are excellent at retaining water. But it is inconvenient to always store dishes here, because the sink is constantly involved.
• There is also a model-analogue of a modern built-in dryer - troflex.
• Place the pot lid dryers on the inside door of the kitchen cupboard or on the wall next to the hob.
• As a compromise, you can build a dryer in a special drawer. The main thing is to correctly place the pallet so that the furniture does not swell from the water.

materials

Wood

Modern drying - strong metal holders, wooden frame, plastic pallet.

• Particularly good for both use and aesthetic perception are wooden kitchen dish racks.
• The moisture-proof covering reliably protects them from water and evaporations.
• Such wooden fixtures are the brightest decor element for an interior in a country or classic style.
• Drying from coniferous wood, attractive and environmentally friendly, with a pleasant pine smell, we can do it ourselves, guided by the video.

Metal

• The best kitchen dish dryers are made of durable stainless steel, which is relevant for modern kitchen design.
• Any dryer made of metal must additionally be protected by a special coating, preferably chromium.
• The latest powder dyes are also reliable.

Plastic

• Colored and attractive plastic dryers are not as durable, but their price is much lower.
• When buying such a product, we will check its strength: the plastic must be rigid and at the same time moderately thick.
• It is plastic dryers that are now fashionable, popular, and their timely replacement will unexpectedly bring a pleasant novelty to the interior of the kitchen.

Choosing a dryer

Which one lasts longer

• Drying made of chrome and stainless steel is the most reliable and durable. Painted such models made of metal or covered with a film will serve us for more than a year.
• A plastic dryer, created on a modern high-tech production, will never lose its novelty, but it can be unstable and tip over under the weight of a pile of dishes.

Which is more convenient

• When buying a dryer, we still choose a universal model with a pallet. This tray will save our furniture and floors.
• The removable tray makes it easy to clean the entire dryer. Yes, and draining water from the built-in tray is troublesome.
• The drawer sections must be fitted with locks to prevent the plates from rolling when the drawer is pulled out.

We make and install the dryer ourselves

Instruction for wooden dryer:

• We cut pine bars 20 × 20 mm and rounded Ø10 mm with an electric jigsaw along the length.
• We grind all the formed surfaces.
• In the back and front crossbars, we carefully drill holes for inclined rounded bars.
• We assemble the frame, connecting the longitudinal bars with the transverse ones with screws.
• Glue the slanted partitions.
• We prime, carefully grind and cover the surface with high-quality varnish in 2 layers.

Let's take care of reliable fastening.

Drill, puncher, plastic dowels, iron hooks will not allow drying to fly off the wall.

• To attach the dryer top bar to the wall, drill 2 six-millimeter holes. But first, on the back side of the plank, we glue 2 wooden plates - this is how we strengthen it.
• Now we will attach the dryer to the wall with stainless screws into the dowels hammered into the wall in advance.

Undoubtedly, the kitchen dish dryer is the most important accessory in the kitchen that simplifies our lives and saves time. And now we will make the right choice of such a valuable and beautiful assistant.

Specialization: master in the construction of plasterboard structures, finishing work and laying flooring. Installation of door and window blocks, facade finishing, installation of electrics, plumbing and heating - I can give detailed advice on all types of work.

Do not know which dish dryer to choose so that it fits the room and your needs? Then carefully read the review, it discusses all the main modifications with their pros and cons, so that you can choose the best option.

Advantages of built-in dish dryers

Options that are built into kitchen furniture have a number of advantages:

Illustration	Description
	Aesthetics. Most often, the structure is closed by a facade and is not visible indoors. It makes the kitchen look neater. And if your dryer is located in an open compartment, then choose options made from quality materials and having an attractive appearance so that they look like a harmonious element of decor.
	Hygiene. The dishes do not need to be wiped - immediately after washing, they are placed in the compartment, and all the moisture flows into the pan. The surface dries out, and mold does not form on it. And you don’t need to make any additional efforts - the main thing is to arrange everything neatly and steadily so that nothing falls out or breaks.
	The convenience of use. This is expressed in the following aspects: The design is located near the sink, and to put the washed item, you just need to reach out; All elements are placed in their places, it is easy to find and remove the necessary item if necessary.
	Variety of options. You can find dryers of various sizes and configurations that are installed in standard wall cabinets, corner structures, drawer drawers, or simply placed on the table. All major varieties are described in detail below.

This option also has disadvantages, they are also worth mentioning:

• Tray must be monitored. More precisely, for the amount of water that flows from the dishes and can overflow the container and spill out. From time to time, most often once every few days, the element is freed from water and rinsed;
• Cupboard must be of good quality. This applies to two aspects: the material of manufacture and ventilation. So that furniture does not become unusable due to high humidity, it must have a moisture-resistant top layer, and even better - a special impregnation (chipboard of this type has a green color on the cut). As for ventilation, most often several holes are drilled in the upper part of the structure.

Rules for choosing a dryer in a cabinet

There are several main aspects that need to be dealt with even before choosing a specific option:

• Manufacturing material. There are several options, they are described in detail below. When choosing this or that solution, remember one thing: you should not save and choose the cheapest models, in which the quality of the material and protective coating often leaves much to be desired;
• Number of dishes. You can not clog the dryer to the eyeballs, this makes it inconvenient to use and reduces efficiency - the dishes do not dry well. In addition, it will not be easy to remove the desired item from the filled shelf, you can drop and break the dishes;

• Dryer type. There are different options that differ in the number of tiers and design features. It is important to decide what will be more convenient and practical in your situation;
• Cookware size. Often this aspect is overlooked and it turns out that 2-3 mesh shelves are attached inside the cabinet, and then it turns out that large plates do not fit and you have to put them diagonally or dry them in another place;
• Furniture options. Measure the inside of your cupboard to know the exact dimensions of a structure that will fit. If there is no furniture, then specify the standard values ​​\u200b\u200band select one of the options. Then, when ordering a kitchen, do not forget to tell us the size of the cabinet you need.

Dish dryer classification

Let's figure out what options are on sale and what aspects you should pay attention to.

Construction type

The main criterion with which the choice of drying for dishes begins. The most popular solutions today are listed below.

Illustration	Description
	Dryer for kitchen cabinet. The simplest solution, consisting of 1-2 gratings, which can have different configurations, and a plastic pallet, it can be included in the kit, or it can be sold separately. The advantage of this solution is that it is cheap, the kit is inexpensive. The second advantage is the possibility of purchasing elements separately, as they are made according to standard sizes. You can initially buy one shelf and a tray, and then add another tier or even two if you need more space for dishes and the interior of the cabinet allows you to do this.
	Tabletop with tray. An interesting option with the following advantages: Convenience - everything you need is collected in one place, the design has a shelf for plates, a shelf for cups and glasses, a side basket for forks, spoons and knives and hooks for a cutting board or something else; Mobility - you can put the dryer in a closet, on a table or somewhere else. Transferring the structure is not difficult; Simplicity. No need to mount shelves, the item is ready to use immediately after you put the tray in the bottom.
	Hinged with pallet. Its main feature is that in the upper part there are two hooks for the railing pipe, on which the structure clings. Such a dryer can be placed in the work area under the cabinet, or you can hang it inside the kitchen furniture if you first fix the tube at the right level. This type of dryer is good because it can be easily removed if necessary to wash the inside of the cabinet or to clean the dryer itself. Another advantage is its compact size, you can place this option in a limited space.
	Angle design. It is located in the corner of the room and can be attached both inside the kitchen furniture and directly to the walls. There are both stationary and portable options that are simply placed in the corner. Systems differ in configuration and size, so they are selected individually in each case.
	Pull-out dryer. An interesting solution built into the drawer at the bottom of the kitchen unit. Great for children and the elderly who find it difficult to raise their hands, it provides easy access to the contents and ease of organizing the compartment, because everything is easily accessible. The main thing is that there is a place for a compartment of the required height, it must be roomy enough so that the system moves freely and the dishes do not cling when the drawer is opened.
	built-in dryer. This type of structure differs from the usual version by a system of plastic fasteners that simplify installation inside furniture and a more solid design, in which a separate pallet is placed on each shelf. This is good because if you put the dishes on the upper tier, the water from it does not drip onto the lower, already dry dishes.
	Two-tier system. By the name it is clear that the design consists of two tiers, most often it has a compact size and is necessary for small rooms that may not even have a kitchen cabinet. The main plus is the low cost, so such options are often purchased at the dacha.

Production material

There are 4 main options:

Illustration	Description
	Coated steel. Steel bars are coated to protect the metal from corrosion. There are three types of such products on sale: Painted metal. The cheapest, but also the most short-lived models, since the paint tends to go astray with dishes or crack over time. It is better to look for options with a polymer coating, it is stronger than ordinary paint; Zinc. Such a coating provides good resistance to moisture, but over time it can turn yellow and become stained; Chromium. The most reliable solution that provides an attractive appearance and good protective performance.
	Stainless steel. The most durable designs that remain attractive throughout the entire period of use and do not require maintenance. It is only necessary to wash the structure from time to time so that dirt does not accumulate on the surface. The main disadvantage is the high cost, this option will cost many times more than any other.
	Plastic. This is an inexpensive material that is great for dish dryers, as it is not afraid of moisture and does not absorb odors. These products are easy to care for. The main disadvantages are low strength and not the most attractive appearance, plastic is plastic.
	Wood. This material is also used, albeit infrequently. The drying compartment can also be equipped with your own hands, if you have rails and a simple tool kit at hand. It is not difficult to assemble a triangular shelf; it can be either single-level or multi-level.

Functional purpose

There are two main varieties here:

• for cymbals. Most often, the shelf has a trapezoidal or triangular profile so that the dishes are stable and do not fall out. The optimal material for manufacturing are steel rods, as they provide low weight with a significant capacity of the structure;

• for cups. This option has the shape of a straight shelf on which you can put small items. The designs differ in the height of the restrictive sides and dimensions and are selected for specific furniture.

It is best to install both options to dry all the dishes in one place.

Number of tiers and type of fastening

As for the tiers, this issue was also discussed above, here we will briefly analyze it:

• Single tier options. Compact and take up little space, suitable for one type of dish, so you need to decide what you are going to dry;
• Double and multi-deck dryers. They are used most often, as they have a large capacity and allow you to store different types of dishes.

According to the method of attachment, there are also two main options:

• fixed. It is permanently attached to the walls of the cabinet, the main plus is reliability and strength, it is important to fix the elements well. But there is also a drawback - you cannot remove the elements for washing them, plus the possibilities for cleaning furniture are limited, since the shelves cannot be removed;

• Removable. This solution is good because, if necessary, the dryer can be removed and placed on the table or hung in another place. In addition, if you need to clean up and wash the locker, then you simply remove the structure and quickly get the job done.

It is necessary to tell about one more option - a dish mat. It is used as a replacement for drying in limited space and where you visit from time to time, for example, in the country.

Rugs are most often made of a special absorbent material and are small in size. To use, you just need to put the element on the table and fold the dishes. There are options with a small grill under the plates.

Conclusion

Now you know all the main types of dish dryers and you can choose the best solution for your kitchen. The video will tell you additional aspects that you need to know about, and if you still have questions, ask them in the comments.

How to make a cabinet for drying dishes with your own hands

Dish drying cabinet is part of the built-in kitchen. Such a cabinet is usually located above the sink. Consider the design of the cabinet for drying dishes and the drying itself.

Types of dryers for dishes

There are two main types of dish dryers that are built into dish cabinets:

Dryers with polymer coating, usually white

These are inexpensive drying, which is called an economy option. Such drying is supplied with one tray for water flowing from the dishes.

Dryers more than 600 mm bend, and they are not durable, rust begins to appear over time, the pallet breaks easily. Installation of a white dryer is simple, 8 holes with a diameter of 8 mm are drilled, into which plastic bushings are installed.

Galvanized dryer, usually chrome color

More expensive, 5-10 times the price difference, but also a more durable dish drying option.

Dish dryer width

By drying width for 400, 450, 500, 600, 800, 900 mm. The size is given for the size of the cabinet in which the dryer will be built in. That is, drying at 400 mm means that it will be installed in a cabinet with a width of 400 mm.

There is such a nuance here, there are dryers that are installed either in a case made of chipboard 16 mm thick or 18 mm thick, and there are universal ones that are suitable for both 16 and 18 mm chipboard due to the use of special gaskets, pay attention to this when buying a dryer .

The optimal size is 600 mm, 400-500 mm is small, and 800-900 mm begin to sag under the weight of dishes, and the dish drying cabinet itself turns out to be heavy when loaded with such a width.

Varieties of dryers for dishes:

• installed in a cabinet with drawers
• drying, which is hung on the railing
• desktop drying drying in a corner cabinet.

Drying cabinet design

In general, by design drying cabinet corresponds to an ordinary cabinet, except for the bottom of the cabinet. The fact is that there is high humidity in the cabinet for drying dishes and additional ventilation is necessary. To solve this problem, the bottom in such a cabinet is not made or made in the form of two slats 100 mm wide.

Drying cabinet design with a bottom of two strips are made for cheap white dryers and for dryers that do not have a groove in the back for installing a fiberboard back wall.

In the design variant without a bottom, the bottom is the lower part of the dryer, or rather its frame. That is, drying itself provides the necessary rigidity of the structure. Although, in my opinion, this should be done when the drying cabinet is located between other cabinets in the kitchen. It should be done this way, because under the weight of the dishes, the drying fixture does not withstand, and the drying body in the lower part begins to move apart.

The article discusses a reliable and aesthetic way to install a standard dish dryer in a custom-sized cabinet. Installing a dish dryer in a cupboard

Option to install a standard dish dryer in a cabinet of non-standard sizes

Furniture standards for a dish dryer ensure its installation in a cabinet with a front width of 400, 500, 600 mm, etc. At the same time, the length of the dryer will be 32 mm less than the specified front width. It is clear that installing a dryer in a properly designed cabinet is not a problem: put marks, drilled holes, inserted latches and installed the dryer.

And what can be done if the kitchen requires the installation of a dish dryer in a cabinet with non-standard dimensions (old or home-made furniture, etc.).

Consider an original idea for a beautiful and high-quality installation of a dryer in a non-standard cabinet.

Required set of materials and tools:

• awl;
• drill;
• roulette;
• Dryer;
• pencil;
• hacksaw for metal;
• drill for metal with a diameter of 12 mm;
• copper tube for air conditioning, 12.7 mm in diameter;
• caliper with caliper (for taking accurate measurements).

Dish dryer installation

To begin with, it is necessary to fit a dryer with a size smaller than the width of the box itself. For example, the inner width of the drawer is 500mm, so you need to choose a dryer with a length of 500mm. But, since the length of the drying set is indicated by the width of the facade, its actual size will be 468 mm. If you take a dryer larger than the required box size, then such an important part of the headset as a water trap cannot be installed under it.

Mounting hole marking

The dryer should be placed at a height of 100 - 140 mm from the bottom of the drawer and 300 - 400 mm from the top shelf.

Scheme of installing a shelf for dishes in a kitchen cabinet.

With this in mind, four holes are marked for fastening. A dryer with dressed fasteners leans against one wall of the cabinet and places for drilling mounting holes are outlined. The distance is measured from the second mount to the free stand.

Drilling holes and installing inserts

Holes are drilled in the marked places, with a diameter of 12 mm and a depth of 13 mm. Hole parameters are controlled by a caliper. The size is measured from the copper tube: the distance from the dryer attachment to the free wall divided by two and 14 mm is added to this size (13 mm hole depth and plus 1 mm for installation error).

For example, the free dimension is 50 mm, then the length of one tube is: (50 / 2) + 14 = 29 mm. Such copper stops need 4 pieces.

With a hacksaw for metal, the prepared copper tube is cut into measured lengths. Prepared copper inserts are hammered into holes with a diameter of 12 mm. Fasteners are inserted into them, and the dryer is mounted in a cabinet.

An example of installing a dish dryer in a cabinet with a wider width.

This method of mounting the dryer is reliable and original. Fits perfectly in the design of chipboard, with a red or brown structure.

Dish drying cabinet is part of the built-in kitchen. Such a cabinet is usually located above the sink. Consider the design of the cabinet for drying dishes and the drying itself.

Types of dryers for dishes

There are two main types of dish dryers that are built into dish cabinets:

Dish dryer width

By drying width for 400, 450, 500, 600, 800, 900 mm. The size is given for the size of the cabinet in which the dryer will be built in. That is, drying at 400 mm means that it will be installed in a cabinet with a width of 400 mm.

Although, in my opinion, this should be done when the drying cabinet is located between other cabinets in the kitchen. It should be done this way, because under the weight of the dishes, the drying fixture does not withstand, and the drying body in the lower part begins to move apart.

For example, an interesting drying dish VARIANT from the Italian manufacturer VIBO. Such drying can be installed both in a cabinet with a bottom and without a bottom.

Minimum cabinet depth for drying 283 mm. The dryer design is based on an aluminum frame with a telescopic back wall holder, which allows you to increase the depth of the drying case up to 391 mm.

Drying VIBO, unlike the Rejs universal dryer, they are sold separately for a body made of chipboard 16 mm thick and separately for a thickness of 18 mm.

The usual standard cabinet cabinet height is 720mm and the depth is 320mm. Of course, there are higher and lower, and deeper. It is better not to do less in depth, otherwise the dryer may not get up, if you do less, study the minimum and maximum limits for the depth of the case for installing the dryer. For example, as mentioned earlier, the Vibo has a minimum case depth of 283mm.

Installing a dish dryer in a cupboard

The first thing to do when drying plant it is to study the attached instructions, because there are slight differences when installing dryers from different manufacturers.

At our disposal was a two-level 600 mm chromium dryer manufactured by Rejs, perhaps one of the best dryers on the Russian market.

Rice. 21. Drying chrome 600 mm produced by Rejs

Drying chrome is universal, both for chipboard with a thickness of 16 mm and 18 mm, due to gaskets in the photo below. The kit includes euro screws for fastening plastic fasteners of the dryer, thin self-tapping screws for fixing telescopic parts in the lower part of the dryer, small screws for connecting square bars with plastic fasteners for the lower part of the dryer.

Dish dryer assembly was made according to the assembly scheme.

Initially, we drill holes with a diameter of 5 mm for plastic drying mounts, the first hole from the edge is 69 mm, you can mark the distance in height and the second point by attaching the mount to the side wall or taking measurements.

We insert square aluminum rods into the plastic mount, fix them with small screws to the plastic mounts of the dryer, fasten the mounts themselves to the side walls using the drilled holes with Euro screws.
