Concealed drawer runners
These types of drawer runners are installed in the bottom of the drawer, making them completely invisible whenever the drawer is closed. Therefore, they are the ultimate in aesthetics, because they are clean and modern to the eye. In addition, they provide that silent, smooth glide that customers love so much. For us, some runners that stand out are the runners for Silver drawers. We have versions for full or partial pull-out, which incorporate that soft closing. They also have the push-to-open option, which is another of the details that people are looking for in a drawer that gives a more premium feel when used.
Drawer ball bearings
Without a doubt, ball bearing runners for drawers are the best option in contexts where resistance is a determining factor. Due to their fantastic ability to support heavy loads, we think they are perfect for furniture that requires this robustness. Despite this, they still allow the drawer to be fully pulled out, so you won’t have any problems with intensive use, while adding an extra layer of security. You can take a look at our models depending on what you are looking for, we’re sure to have a suitable option!
Drawer roller runners
In this case, the drawer roller runners are just what you need if you have a project that focuses on lightweight drawers. As well as providing adequate glides, they are affordably priced, which helps to keep budgets under control without compromising on the quality that characterises us at Emuca. In addition to being excellent value for money, these runners also offer fantastic customisation options, with white, black and silver painted finishes. This gives them a designer look, even though they can only support limited loads.How to choose the right drawer runners? Keep trends in mind
With regard to choosing the right drawer runners, we think it is essential to bear in mind that customers are increasingly looking for smooth, quiet glides. It is less relevant whether the pull-out of the runner is total or partial, as this must be adjusted according to the space and the drawer, but there is a clear trend towards this silent design.
On the other hand, our soft closing systems provide a higher degree of safety, especially if there is a possibility that the little ones in the house will open and close the drawer. In addition, Emuca’s push-to-open systems guarantee extra durability, with easy assembly that will save you time when creating the furniture.
Despite the above, when choosing drawer runners, it is very important to take three aspects into account.
The load capacity we are looking for
The load capacity we need for the drawer, as there are runners with greater and lesser resistance, as we have seen.
Not all runners are suitable for high loads. But it is also not necessary to overspend if the drawer will not really hold much weight. This is a fundamental aspect, because the type of runner affects the design and the cost, but not necessarily the usability. In other words, spending more does not mean we will have a better drawer, but rather that we have chosen the right runner for the project.
Type of pull-out required
The type of pull-out required depends on how the drawer will be used and what it will contain. In general, customers tend to have a pretty good idea of this based on where they want to put the drawer. So taking into account the room and how it will be used is crucial when making the decision.
Finally, and as a detail, think about the colours and finishes too. We offer you a very wide range of options, but it is important that they match the drawer itself.
Additional mechanisms to install
The additional mechanisms you may need, such as soft closing or push-to-open. Again, as this is something that affects the cost and feel of the drawer, having them will always give you a premium point.
Bear in mind that this will directly affect the final price of the drawer. However, with us you can be confident that you are making one that is made for everyday use and that will last. In addition, Emuca models are suitable for kitchen, bathroom, office and home furniture in general. So we are a great ally in your carpentry projects.
