With the arrival of good weather, city residents had the opportunity to get out into nature. Happy owners of private houses or garden plots are unpacking equipment for summer recreation: barbecues, gazebos, outdoor rattan furniture. Today, barbecues have become not only a tool for preparing delicious steaks, but also a decorative element, for example, in the loft style.
Advantages and features of the Loft style
Today the loft style is used everywhere. This is a laconic and undemanding option for furniture design with distinctive features:
- Mostly natural materials are used in production (wood, metal, brick, concrete);
- design solutions are distinguished by minimalism and simplicity of form (barbecues are usually made in a rectangular shape with regular geometric lines);
- the color scheme is kept in the zone of white, gray, black shades and natural wood colors;
- characterized by a combination of natural materials with each other.
When creating a barbecue area, designers pay attention to practicality. Typically, devices demonstrate a set of useful functions that are useful during cooking. It is possible to combine a roasting pan with a dishwasher, a storage cabinet and much more, as well as hooks and shelves.
In addition, much attention is paid to lighting. To create the right lighting, use a system of built-in lamps. This creates a special atmosphere, which is especially good for outdoor parties.
Stylish designs are often purchased for summer holidays. In most cases, with the help of loft barbecues they create a single zone, continuing the main idea of the designer. For example, a gazebo is designed in a loft style, then the barbecue area should also support this direction.
How to choose a grill
When choosing a barbecue for a site, different criteria are taken into account. The loft style goes well with other general styles and fits into any compositional scheme.
Size
The dimensions of the container are taken into account during the analysis of the space where it will be installed. It is important to understand the capacity of the container. It is better to immediately choose an option that will allow you to cook for a family or company in one approach, and not in several successive approaches.
Quality
Loft involves the use of natural materials. Typically, iron and wood are combined within the same structure.The steel barbecue must be well treated with anti-corrosion agents, and the wood must be varnished and treated to prevent mold.
There are also cast iron barbecues, but installing such structures will require additional effort. The advantage of cast iron is the durability of the material, extended service life, and ease of cleaning.
Other criteria
When choosing, you should take into account the conditions of use. It is important to debug the ventilation system, especially if the device is installed in a small area. If the ventilation system is poorly adjusted, then during the cooking process guests will have to be in a smoky curtain on the floor. If you plan to frequently cook different dishes, then a design with thoughtful organization for storing additional kitchen tools is a good option.
An important condition is safety. Durable structures with a stable base will make your vacation hassle-free and safe. To prevent splashing of grease, use additional protection: screens and dampers.
FAQ
Is the high price for the brand justified?
In this case, such a combination as price and quality is important. Price does not always mean quality; sometimes the simplest barbecues from popular brands without additional protection and tools cost an order of magnitude higher than the same devices from no-name companies. It is important to analyze the composition, safety and strength, and not the brand.
The importance of material quality?
If you have a loft style, it is important to choose barbecues where the distribution of materials is thought out. These are objects made of metal and wood, but the use of materials must be justified.It is better to choose those containers that demonstrate heat resistance, but do not look as aesthetically attractive as items with low heat resistance. Wooden elements are removed from difficult places where strong heating occurs. In addition, manufacturer certificates are important.
What does safe use mean?
This concept is used by the manufacturer when it comes to characterizing such properties as heat resistance, stability, and the presence of additional handles. Some manufacturers try to take into account the nuances: protection of hands when cooking, stability in case of unexpected and unintended force, although the device does not provide for this type of use.
