Skinali is a glass apron that is installed on the wall above the work surface in the kitchen. But, if you go into details, skinali is a vertical panel with which surfaces are sheathed, it can be made of glass, artificial stone, wood veneer, etc. In fact, a mirrored wardrobe is also considered to be made using the skinny technique.
Glass is the easiest of all materials to clean, with no seams or darkened seams. The advantage over tiles is great: ease of maintenance, ease of installation, and more recently, the price. When glass aprons first appeared, their price was about 500 USD. for a product and this is undoubtedly a lot, however, now an apron can be bought much cheaper, about 40-50 USD. per square meter. If you count the price of tiles, decorative inserts, the cost of glue for tiles and the work of a master, the price does not differ much from the price of glass.
For proper installation and durability of the product, the walls must be perfectly flat. It is advisable to open it with a layer of paint. The apron is attached to the wall with special fastening bolts, holes for which are made directly during manufacture.
When ordering the product, all sockets and other elements for which you will need to drill holes are taken into account, since nothing can be added to the finished panel. We also advise you to immediately take into account the hood! The hood is located above the line of the upper cabinets and leaves 15 * 60 cm of open space.
Ideally, the glass is measured at its maximum height, and then the excess is cut out. But paying the customer for the cut area will significantly increase the cost. There is an option and economy class, when a piece is made and separately attached to a flat product (in the case of photo printing, the drawing should be a continuation of the main drawing). In this option, the price is added to the price only for 0.1 square meter. Alternatively, the panels are ordered in short lengths, and the section for the hood is made higher.
Types of glass aprons
Transparent
Absolutely clear glass. Ideal for those who do not like photo printing, who find it difficult to find a picture for the interior, or those who want all the walls to be covered with wallpaper. Installation of such glass should be carried out in perfect cleanliness and with gloves. Any fingerprint, speck of dust and speck will remain in front of your eyes for a long time, without the possibility of washing.
Solid colored
Glass painted in one color on the back. It will ideally fit into a high-tech interior, where minimalism and practicality are welcomed.
Photo printing
For lovers of bright colors and variety. Will make a bright accent in the kitchen, let your imagination run wild, complement any interior. For those who are not ready for bright colors, there is photo printing in the form of mosaics, tiles, etc.
Sandblasting drawing
In the same way as on mirrored wardrobes, a pattern is applied to the back of the apron using sandblasting. Glass can also be simply matte.
Backlight
Backlighting is rather an addition to all types. LED-backlighting in the form of a ribbon starts up behind the glass and intensifies all the colors many times over.
How do you make a choice?
Plain and transparent aprons are suitable for those who have accentuated elsewhere in the interior and one more will be redundant. Colored ones, especially with the image of landscapes, will become the main accent and will rivet all the attention on themselves. It can be fruits, pictures of coffee beans or landscapes of mysterious forests - in short, everything that will delight the eye for many years. Motives and patterns on the apron can also complement the design: Turkish for the kitchen with sofas and hookahs, lace patchwork for the image, or maybe just textures. There is also a special type of people - incorrigible romantics who put their family photos on an apron, create huge collages from family photos.
For large rooms with separate zones, skins are duplicated on the opposite wall, but already in the form of a panel.
For those who like to go beyond the framework, the continuation of the pattern on the apron is attached to the facades of furniture, creating a feeling of ideality and completeness of the interior. And sometimes they play with our imagination, moving the house to the top of skyscrapers.
It is difficult to describe all the possibilities of the skinning technique, even a bathroom can turn into a huge tropical aquarium, you just have to turn on your imagination … Turn on !!!
