It makes the cabinet drawer slides so you're able to prevent things from getting unorganized. They make it easy to find what you’re looking for. Drawer sides are made of a couple of different materials and have their good and bad points.
Drawer Sides The materials most often used for drawer sides are wood, metal, and plastic. Wood is a natural, strong, long-lasting material — and a expensive one. Metal is also durable, but it can be loud to open and close. RELATED: Why, Exactly, Do We Use Plastic Chopsticks Instead of Wooden? Plastic is lightweight and inexpensive, however it may not be as durable as wood or metal.
Keep in mind what the items in the drawer will weigh when selecting the drawer sides. Heavier items require stronger sides, like wood or metal. Plastic sides will do for lighter objects. You should also consider how the drawer sides complement the cabinet style.
Drawer sides are difficult to install, but can be made easy with the proper technique. Start by measuring the drawer opening and cutting the sides to size. They should line up properly before attaching. Screw or nail both sides to the cabinet itself, making them level and secure.
Creative drawer side design can help you save more space. Dividers or organizers will help you corral smaller items. With sliding drawers or pull-out shelves, it's much easier to access the back of the drawer.
And if you have a set of older cabinets, the drawer sides can be replaced to rejuvenate the look of the cabinetry. Opt for new sides in the style and finish of the cabinet. New knobs or pulls can also lend the cabinets a fresh look.
