Ball and roller drawer slides - differences

The sliding mechanism can be divided into two types - ball bearing slides and roller bearing slides. Due to the great ease and freedom of assembly, as well as the relatively low price, roller guides are the most frequently chosen. They are perfect for drawers of small dimensions, as well as for those in which light objects are stored. Roller slides, due to their construction, have a more limited extension, and their maximum lifting height usually oscillates around 20 - 25 kilograms.
If you need to store heavier items in your drawers, you can get reliable ball bearing slides. Their maximum load capacity can be up to 50 kg. Ball bearing slide pull-outs vary from model to model.

 

Modern drawer runner technology - soft close, push to open and auto-lock mechanism

When choosing drawers, you should focus on products that make everyday activities easier. Drawers with soft close technology allow you to work in comfortable conditions. The scenario of waking up another household member at night by simply using kitchen drawers becomes completely unrealistic.
The push to open mechanism, on the other hand, allows the drawer to be opened with a gentle pressure. This solution will also appeal to people who find themselves in modern arrangements, consisting of drawers and cabinets without front handles. An additional auto-lock mechanism, prevents the drawer from slipping out in any situation.

 

➡️ What are ball-bearing runners?

Ball-bearing drawer runners are a functional accessory and finishing element of system furniture, as well as all kinds of traditional furniture fittings. Fittings of this type are responsible for the smooth extension and closing of drawers. Their robustness contributes to greater load capacity and stability.

 

➡️ Which drawer runners should I choose for my kitchen cabinets?

The most popular on the market at the moment are part-extension and full-extension ball-bearing runners. It is worth looking out for models with a soft and gentle closure, such as the Furnica Soft-Close drawer runner or slides with a 'push to open' opening aid.

 

➡️ Which runners should I use for heavy drawers?

For heavy drawers it is best to choose heavy-duty ball-bearing runners that can hold drawers weighing up to 136kg and are recommended not only for furniture drawers but also for those in appliances and vehicles. They are characterised by extremely high load capacity, which guarantees the solidity of the entire structure and its stability. Usually these runners are 53mm high.
