On the table lie three paper squares: 60×60, 80×80, and 100×100 mm. The first is applied to the top drawer — the pattern is readable, but enough calm space remains around it. The second is noticeably more active. The third takes up too much of the low facade. Then the same three templates are moved to a tall door 500×900 mm — and the picture changes: 60 mm looks almost like a dot, 80 mm is still calm, and 100 mm finally gets the needed visual weight.
This is how a solution emerges that cannot be seen from the product card: the same RPU-032 ornament can be used in two sizes on one piece of furniture.
For six drawers, RPU-032 60×60×10 mm is suitable in advance.
For two tall doors — RPU-032 100×100×17 mm.
Instead of eight identical parts, you get a mixed set:
6 × 60 mm + 2 × 100 mm = 8 elements.
This is not a violation of unity. The pattern itself repeats, and the scale follows the facade.
Therefore, before purchasing, you don't need to ask the question "which single size to take for the whole sideboard." It's more useful to check how the same motif works on two different types of facades.
If you want to first view the entire range of polyurethane decor, you can open the catalog Buy moldings, and then return to the specific RPU-032.
Molded rosette RPU-032: what sizes are available
RPU-032 is produced in a wide range of sizes — from 40 to 200 mm.

Material — polyurethane.
The card allows the use of RPU-032 on furniture, doors, walls, and ceilings, so placement on a sideboard matches the stated purpose of the product.
After selecting the sizes, you can buy the molded rosette RPU-032 in mixed configuration.
Why the same ornament does not have to be the same size
The buffet has two types of facades:
-
low horizontal drawers;
-
high vertical doors.
If you set the same size on all eight elements, one of two problems arises.
Our factory also produces:
Size chosen for doors
For example, 100 mm.
On doors, it reads confidently.
On drawers about 180 mm high, such an element takes up too large a share of the facade and may start competing with the handle.
Get Consultation
Size chosen for drawers
For example, 60 mm.
On the box it looks neat.
On a 500×900 mm door it can visually get lost.
Therefore, the correct principle is:
one ornament — two scales.
This allows preserving the kinship of details without mechanically repeating one overall dimension.
RPU-032 60×60×10 mm on a 500×180 mm box
Let's take the facade:
500×180 mm.
Rose:
60×60 mm.
By height:
180 − 60 = 120 mm.
If you place the element strictly in the center, nominally remains:
60 mm from the top and 60 mm from the bottom.
This does not mean that such an indent is mandatory.
But the calculation shows the scale: the socket takes up about a third of the facade height.
By width:
60 / 500 = 12%.
That is, on a wide horizontal facade, it remains a compact central accent.
Before ordering, you need to check four more things:
-
where the handle is;
-
what is the gap between adjacent drawers;
-
is there milling or a frame;
-
whether the element looks the same on the upper and lower drawers.
If after trying 60 mm looks too small, the next candidate is 70 or 80 mm, but you need to change the size according to a template, not by the feeling that "slightly larger will be better".
RPU-032 100×100×17 mm on a 500×900 mm door
Now the door:
500×900 mm.
A 60 mm socket occupies:
60 / 500 = 12% of the width.
A 100 mm socket:
100 / 500 = 20% of the width.
This is not a design standard. The numbers are only for scale comparison.
In terms of the door height of 900 mm, even a 100 mm socket remains a relatively compact element.
At the same time, its depth is already 17 mm, while the 60 mm version has 10 mm.
So, the 100mm variant differs not only in area, but also in stronger chiaroscuro.
On a tall door this can be an advantage: the relief is readable from a normal distance.
Paper templates 60, 80, and 100 mm: how to check before buying
Before ordering, it's useful to make three simple 1:1 templates:
-
60×60 mm;
-
80×80 mm;
-
100×100 mm.
They are first applied to one drawer, then to one door.
But the main test is not a single facade.
You need to temporarily lay out the templates on the entire sideboard at once.
Why?
One 60-millimeter socket on one drawer can look calm. Six identical ones in a row already create a noticeable rhythm.
The same applies to two large 100-millimeter elements on the doors: they should support the six small ones, not look like a foreign pair.
Step back to the distance from which furniture is usually seen in a room.
Check:
-
front view;
-
angled view;
-
daylight;
-
evening light;
-
open and closed doors.
If three sizes are compared physically, the decision usually becomes more obvious than after a dozen catalog photos.
Six RPU-032 60 mm and two RPU-032 100 mm: order specification
Preliminary list:
| Zone | SKU | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 6 drawers | RPU-032 60×60×10 mm | 6 pcs. |
| 2 doors | RPU-032 100×100×17 mm | 2 pcs. |
| Total | RPU-032 | 8 pcs. |
Such an order immediately shows the manager that one item is needed in two size variants.
For six boxes, you can buy RPU-032 60×60×10 mm, and for doors, select 100×100×17 mm in the same card.
Why eight RPU-032 80 mm are not necessarily the best compromise
The 80 mm size seems like a convenient middle option.
It is smaller than 100 and larger than 60.
But "middle" does not mean "right".
On the box 180 mm:
180 − 80 = 100 mm.
When centering, this is about:
50 mm from top and bottom.
On a 500×900 mm door, the 80 mm width is:
16% of the facade width.
This option may turn out to be:
-
already too large for boxes;
-
still not expressive enough for doors.
Therefore, it makes sense to buy eight identical 80-millimeter rosettes only after a full-size check.
The convenience of one position in an order should not outweigh the composition of the furniture itself.
Cost of mixed set 6+2
Price of RPU-032 60×60×10 mm:
600 ₽.
Six pieces:
6 × 600 = 3 600 ₽.
Price of RPU-032 100×100×17 mm:
1 340 ₽.
Two:
2 × 1 340 = 2 680 ₽.
Total cost:
3 600 + 2 680 = 6 280 ₽.
This is the cost of eight decorative elements at the time of checking.
Not included:
-
delivery;
-
glue;
-
preparation;
-
the coloring;
-
patination;
-
Installation.
Before payment, the current price should be checked in the product card.
RPU-032 is a decorative rosette, not a furniture handle
On a sideboard, it's easy to fall into a logical trap: the decorative element ends up exactly where the handle usually is.
But the RPU-032 cannot be automatically used for opening.
In the article, we consider it specifically as decor.
It:
-
does not replace a furniture handle;
-
is not a standard fastening element;
-
should not bear the force of opening a drawer;
-
should not become the sole gripping point without a separate structural solution.
Functional hardware is designed separately.
RPU-032 and furniture handle: what to build the composition from
If handles are already installed, they become fixed geometry.
First, mark:
-
the handle axis;
-
fasteners;
-
the grip zone with fingers.
Then look for a place for the socket.
Options:
Socket above the handle
Suitable for tall doors if the central composition does not become too elongated.
Socket below the handle
Can work on a drawer if it does not approach the bottom gap.
Socket and handle on the same axis
Provides strict symmetry.
Handle placed in another field
Then RPU-032 can become an independent center of the facade.
Main limitation: the decorative element should not make the grip uncomfortable.
Depth 10 and 17 mm: the two scales also differ in relief
For RPU-032 with 60 mm depth:
10 mm.
For the 100 mm version:
17 mm.
The difference:
7 mm.
Therefore, the larger version works more strongly with side light and shadow.
If the sideboard stands near a window or under a directional light, the two large rosettes on the doors may become noticeably more contrasting than the six small ones on the drawers.
This is not a mistake — if such a hierarchy was intended.
But if all eight elements should look almost equally active, you need to check not only the diameter but also the actual light.
Same color or two finishes
In the color of the facade
RPU-032 becomes an architectural relief.
Sizes vary, but color ties the whole composition together.
Slightly lighter or darker
The ornament becomes more noticeable.
For six small elements this may be appropriate, but two large doors may get too much contrast.
Metallic finish
Especially demanding to check near handles.
If handles are brass, bronze, nickel-plated, or black, the RPU-032 finish should either deliberately match the metal or contrast with it.
No need to add metallic just for a 'rich' look.
How to evenly place six sockets on drawers
Do not mark each facade separately.
Make one rigid template.
On it, mark:
-
horizontal axis of the drawer;
-
vertical axis;
-
center of RPU-032;
-
handle position;
-
control indentation from the edge.
After approving the first drawer, the same template is transferred to the remaining five.
Thus, six elements form one rhythm.
Even a difference of a few millimeters can be noticeable because the drawers are located side by side and the eye compares them directly.
Two RPU-032 100 mm on the doors: identical or mirrored orientation
If the RPU-032 pattern has a visually readable direction after painting or patinating, the orientation of the two doors should be decided before gluing.
Three approaches are possible:
-
the same direction;
-
mirrored;
-
alignment to the common vertical axis of the sideboard.
If the ornament itself is perceived as fully symmetrical, the question is simpler.
But after decorative painting, even a symmetrical relief can acquire a visual direction due to light and patination.
Why you should first lay out all eight templates
Dry assembly of one piece is insufficient.
Lay out:
-
six templates of 60 mm;
-
two templates of 100 mm.
Secure temporarily.
Step away from the furniture.
Check whether one of three things is happening:
-
six small elements create too frequent a rhythm;
-
two large rosettes become overly dominant;
-
the size difference looks random rather than intentional.
If the composition is balanced, a mixed order makes sense.
Buy all eight in one batch or first one
The card allows choosing the size within a single item, but for a project of eight elements there are two approaches.
First templates, then the entire order
The most rational option if a paper mockup is sufficient.
First, one real RPU-032
Makes sense if you need to check:
-
the real depth;
-
material;
-
finish;
-
painting;
-
adhesive mounting.
After approving the size solution, it's better to order the remaining elements as one coordinated batch.
To compare other patterns, you can open Moldings shop.
When it's better to choose a different pattern rather than a different size of RPU-032
If 60 mm looks too large on the drawer, and 100 mm is still too weak on the door, the problem may not be the scale.
Perhaps the pattern itself doesn't suit this sideboard.
Then it makes sense to open the category buy polyurethane sockets and compare other models.
There is no need to keep RPU-032 at any cost just because it has a wide size range.
RPU-032 and inter-facade gaps
Protruding elements should be checked not only in the closed position.
Open:
-
upper drawers;
-
medium;
-
lower;
-
both doors.
Check whether the sockets are close:
-
to the adjacent facade;
-
to the body;
-
to the handle;
-
to the door edge.
The 100 mm version has a depth of 17 mm, so this test is especially useful on a swing door.
RPU-032 and the wooden baseboard of the room
If the sideboard stands in a classic or neoclassical interior, the furniture decor and the lower trim of the room come into view simultaneously.
They do not have to be identical in material or color.
But it is useful to check:
-
scale;
-
profile character;
-
degree of decorativeness;
-
color;
-
gloss.
If the lower profile is still being selected, you can to buy wooden baseboard separately.
This connection is secondary: the main item of the order is eight RPU-032 in two sizes.
Online purchase: what to check before payment
If planning buy stucco in an online store, the order must specify not only the total quantity and article number.
It is necessary to specify:
-
6 pcs. 60×60×10 mm;
-
2 pcs. 100×100×17 mm;
-
one item RPU-032;
-
requirement of a single delivery, if it matters;
-
current price;
-
deadline;
-
finish/painting as a separate technological task.
This reduces the risk of getting eight identical sizes from the wording "8 pcs. RPU-032".
What to send to the STAVROS manager
Ready-made wording:
RPU-032, polyurethane. 6 pcs. 60×60×10 mm for facades of drawers 500×180 mm; 2 pcs. 100×100×17 mm for doors 500×900 mm. Total 8 pcs. Please confirm the current price, production time/availability, and the possibility of delivery in one batch.
If the dimensions are already approved by mockups, this is a sufficiently clear specification.
When not to buy RPU-032 yet
It is better to postpone the purchase if:
-
the sideboard is not assembled yet;
-
Actual facade dimensions are not taken;
-
Handles are not selected;
-
Templates for 60/80/100 mm are not checked;
-
Position of decor relative to handle is not decided;
-
Color is not approved;
-
Decision was made only based on card photo;
-
Eight identical elements were chosen only for ordering convenience.
Errors when ordering RPU-032 for the sideboard
Error 1. Buy eight 100 mm sockets
Reason: they look good on doors.
Consequence: low drawers get overloaded.
How to avoid: a separate scale for drawers.
Mistake 2. Buy eight of 60 mm
Reason: compact size is safer.
Consequence: on tall doors, the ornament is lost.
How to avoid: check with a 100 mm template.
Mistake 3. Choose 80 mm as a compromise without trying on
Reason: medium size seems universal.
Consequence: it can be bad for both drawers and doors.
How to avoid: look at the whole buffet at once.
Error 4. Installing the first socket before checking all eight
Reason: one detail is already appealing.
Consequence: the overall rhythm turns out to be too active.
How to avoid: a completely dry composition.
Error 5. Using RPU-032 as a handle
Reason: it is located in the center of the facade.
Consequence: the decorative element gets an unintended function.
How to avoid: design functional hardware separately.
Summary: which RPU-032 to order for a ready-made sideboard
For a sideboard with:
-
6 boxes approximately 500×180 mm;
-
2 doors approximately 500×900 mm;
It is not necessary to look for one universal size.
Rational preliminary scheme:
6 × RPU-032 60×60×10 mm
и
2 × RPU-032 100×100×17 mm.
Total:
8 decorative elements.
Cost according to the current card:
6×600 + 2×1340 = 6 280 ₽.
The point of the scheme is not that 60 and 100 mm are universally correct sizes. They are working candidates for specific facades and must be confirmed with full-size templates.
If 60 mm on the box and 100 mm on the door are visually connected by one ornament, a mixed order can be designed.
If the difference looks random, you need to check 70/80/90 mm or a completely different pattern.
After approval, you can order RPU-032 for furniture fronts with exact division 6+2.
FAQ
What sizes are available for RPU-032?
From 40×40 to 200×200 mm, with several intermediate options.
What size of RPU-032 should I choose for a furniture drawer?
For a front about 500×180 mm, 60 mm is a working candidate, but it needs to be checked with a template.
Will RPU-032 60 mm fit a front 180 mm high?
Geometrically yes: when centered, nominally 60 mm remains at the top and bottom. The visual proportion is checked on the furniture.
Will RPU-032 100 mm fit a door 500×900 mm?
May be suitable. 100 mm is 20% of the 500 mm door width and provides a more pronounced relief with a depth of 17 mm.
Can two sizes of the same ornament be used on one piece of furniture?
Yes. That is the main idea of the article: the pattern repeats, the scale changes to fit the facade.
Do I need to buy eight identical rosettes?
No. Different types of facades may require different sizes.
What is the depth of RPU-032 60 mm?
10 mm.
What is the depth of RPU-032 100 mm?
17 mm.
Can RPU-032 be painted?
The polyurethane product can be considered for custom finishing, but the specific coating system must be coordinated with the manufacturer's technology and the furniture workshop.
Can RPU-032 be used instead of a handle?
The decorative rosette should not be considered a standard furniture handle without a separate design solution.
How to mark out six identical drawers?
Make one rigid template with the axes of the RPU-032 and the handle, and transfer it to all six fronts.
How to position the rosettes on two doors?
First determine the common vertical axis, then check whether the pattern orientation is the same or mirrored.
How many RPU-032 units need to be ordered?
In the scheme under consideration, there are eight: six small and two large.
How much does the 6+2 set cost?
6,280 RUB at the card price at the time of verification.
Where to buy molding?
In the general catalog of STAVROS polyurethane decor.
Where to buy polyurethane rosettes?
In a separate category of STAVROS polyurethane rosettes.
Where to order RPU-032?
In the RPU-032 card.
How to combine furniture decor with a wooden baseboard?
It is not necessary to repeat the material. You need to match the scale, profile character, color, and degree of decorativeness.
Is an 80 mm template needed if 60 and 100 are already chosen?
It is useful as a check of the intermediate scale. Sometimes 80 mm shows that the 60/100 difference is too strong.
Why does the 100 mm RPU-032 look more active not only because of its size?
Because its depth is 17 mm versus 10 mm for the 60 mm version, so the light-and-shadow is more pronounced.
Do I need to order all eight in one batch?
After the dimensions are approved, this is rational if uniformity of delivery and timing is important.
When is it too early to buy RPU-032?
When the dimensions, handle positions, templates, and the overall composition of all eight facades are not approved.
