How to choose a Blum drawer box system
Choosing a drawer box system for the kitchen is primarily about convenience and practicality. However, it’s also important to ensure that the finished drawers and units fit seamlessly with the aesthetic of the interior space.
Additional considerations of importance when choosing Blum drawer box systems include the following:
Size and number of drawers required
After establishing your storage requirements, it’s then a case of considering how many drawers are required and the appropriate box sizes. This will determine how many separate units/systems will be needed to accommodate your needs.
Drawer maximum load capacity
Kitchen drawers in particular tend to be used to store relatively heavy contents. It’s therefore important to take the maximum load capacity of the drawer into account, which can vary from 15kg up to around 70kg with the highest-quality drawer box systems.
Drawer safety and stability
Drawer systems can often become too heavy depending on how they are loaded. Therefore always choose drawer systems and units that prioritise safety and stability.
Drawer installation
For simple convenience, it pays to choose drawer box systems that are as quick and easy to install as possible. Opt for a model that requires no specialist tools or equipment, which may otherwise constitute an additional expense.
Drawer additional functions
All subsequent additional functions are considered optional extras, which include push-to-open functions, soft closure and automatic closure. All of which are worth considering when planning and installing a Blum drawer box system.
How to Maintain Blum Drawer Box Systems
All Blum drawer box systems are designed to eliminate ongoing maintenance. Shy of an occasional adjustment with a screwdriver to ensure a continuously flawless fit, there are no specific maintenance requirements for the lifespan of Blum’s drawer box systems and related components.
