Kitchens with skinali: features, photos

Kitchens with skinali appeared in the interiors of our apartments not so long ago, but they have already taken their rightful place. Skinali is a very expressive element of the decor, at the same time they are very functional.

What is it?

Skinali - glass panels, on which “on the wrong side” the image is applied. It can be applied in any way - just draw, paste individual elements, for example, old newspapers, which is especially suited to the style of the loft. But a more perfect way to create kitchen skinali - drawing pictures using photo printing.

There are no restrictions on drawing - it all depends on your imagination. And you can be sure that you will not see anything like this in a single apartment!

Skinali are monochrome, with graphic images, are bright, juicy, using a whole range of colors. Look good and smooth colored skinali, which are made from special, painted in the factory glass.

Skins in the interior can become a style-forming element, and designers often use this technique to “revive” the boring room and give it dynamics, saturation, brightness.

Essential plus skinaley - resistance to atmospheric extremes, to sunlight, to high temperatures. No less important is the fact that they are easy to manufacture, are made quickly and easily put in place, the main thing is not to be mistaken in size when ordering.

The foundation

Kitchens with skinali look advantageous, but how durable and durable are they? The basis skinali - tempered glass. Its strength is five times higher than normal. Glass is a heavy material, and the usual can crack under its own weight. With such a hardened trouble will not happen.

Tempered glass is an expensive material, plastic or plexiglass can become its budget replacement. The drawback is that not any pattern can be applied to such a substrate, and it will also look less expressive. In addition, the plastic is much worse able to withstand temperature changes and the action of ultraviolet radiation, and, therefore, the picture can quickly burn out, and the base itself can warp.

Picture

The image on the kitchen skinal is applied by photo printing directly on the glass - this method is considered the best. Often used polymer film. Less often - silk screening method, even less often - laser engraving. After the drawing has already been applied, the glass is hardened.

  • Photo printing. When photo printing method of application appears the illusion of three-dimensional image. Using this method allows you to create impressive compositions that allow you to change the perception of space, give it depth and expressiveness. The main principle of the choice of images is a harmonious combination with the color scheme of the interior, and the correspondence of the scale of the image to the size of the room, unless designers provide a special solution.
  • Stereo print. Voluminous skinali in the interior will give it even more depth. To obtain a 3D effect, special inks are used when applying a pattern to the substrate. The image can be any, but certain requirements are imposed on it: high resolution, high quality, certain proportions.
  • Film. On the glass, you can stick a special film. It can be monochromatic, patterned, opaque, transparent, with various patterns, including relief, made in 3D technology. The use of film reduces the cost of production process skinaley, and accordingly the price for the buyer will be lower. The high quality of the film and the tight fit of the apron to the wall will prevent its detachment under the influence of steam and temperature drops and discoloration of the design.

Installation

Glass. Kitchens with skinali will look impressively regardless of what kind of glass you prefer for making an apron - frosted, transparent, smooth or with a textured surface.

It should be borne in mind that textured glass with a fabric surface (satin), or having small (krizet) or large (listral) pyramidal protrusions, is not suitable for all drawings, and it is more difficult to care for them.

Glass thickness must be at least 6 and not more than 8 mm. For greater expressiveness of the picture, especially if it has a lot of white color, you can use optivet glass, which has full transparency. It is devoid of the greenish tint that ordinary glasses have. But its cost is much higher. For color images its use is impractical.

Dimensions. It is believed that the length of the kitchen skinali should not be more than two and a half meters. If your kitchen is larger, you can create an apron of several parts.

This restriction arises due to the fragility of the glass, which can easily be damaged during installation if it is large. The junction of long skinali can be beaten, or made virtually invisible.

Training. Difficult preparation of the surface to establish skinali is not needed, if the walls are smooth, they can be mounted directly on the wall. With a large curvature of the walls they are better aligned.

Put skinal into place only after the complete assembly of furniture. Keep in mind that the mounting points of sockets, railings, etc. should be transferred to the manufacturers at the order stage, since after the products are ready, it will be impossible to make any holes in them.

Mount. Depending on what role the skinal will play in the interior, what pattern is applied to them, in what condition the wall on which they will be mounted, choose the method of fastening the panels.

  • Passage: the panels are screwed directly to the wall, while using decorative fastening heads protruding on the glass surface. These peculiar “rivets” can be from different materials, for example, brass, chrome-plated, or even glass, imitating crystal. This method allows you to mount skinali even where the wall is not too smooth, as there is an adjustable gap between the panel and the wall.
  • Suspended: Panels are glued to the wall with polymer glue. In this case, the best preservation of the pattern is ensured, the panel is more resistant to mechanical stress. Minus - requires careful alignment of the wall before installation. Another advantage of kitchen skinali is a short installation time. Experts will put the finished apron in place in one and a half to two hours.
