Here it is appropriate to buy or order a cabinet for a washing machine with a sink made of artificial stone and necessarily with a door for a washing machine.

Tips for choosing

When buying furniture under a washing machine with a sink, do not rush, as the right choice will depend on many factors.

Therefore, we recommend to adhere to some rules:

  1. Having decided to buy such a cube, first determine the location of the curbstone. This place can be found both in the kitchen and in the bathroom.
  2. As with any other furniture, you need to clarify the amount of money that you are willing to spend on the curb.
  3. If you have already bought a washing machine, it is worth to measure its height, depth and width and take them into account when choosing a curb. Since the machine must, firstly, fit in the space allocated for it in the cabinet, and secondly, leave a little space around itself so that during operation the vibration of the machinery is not transferred to the furniture.
  4. In addition, you still need to think about how the plumbing pipes from the sink and washing machine will be removed.
  5. Do not forget about the compatibility of the furniture you buy with the style of the room.
  6. Pay attention to the materials from which the product and its accessories are made. For legs, handles and singing a good option is chrome-plated metal. Plastic chrome or gold plated accessories can lose their original appearance within one month. The pedestals covered with paint should be perfectly smooth.
  7. It is important that the materials from which the cabinet is made are moisture resistant. Only in this case it can serve you long and well.

However, before you start making a cubicle with your own hands, make an estimate of costs. This will allow you to find out whether it will be cheaper to buy or create a curb with your own hands.

Materials

It should be remembered that the furniture under the washing machine will have to constantly work in conditions of high humidity. In addition, it will be subject to the risk of water ingress. Therefore, a mandatory requirement for such furniture is the moisture resistance of the materials from which it is made. These are furniture made of MDF, processed wood, glass, metal and plastic. The surface of MDF tiles is covered with a special moisture-resistant film, however, despite this, water can penetrate into the ends and in the fastening areas, because of which furniture can soon deteriorate.

A pedestal made of metal and glass will last longer than any other option. In this case, the glass can be both matte and mirror. Or you can choose models with transparent glasses. The only negative of such furniture is the high price. On the contrary, furniture made of plastic is quite cheap. In addition, they are very bright and characterized by high moisture resistance. The only drawback is that plastic is not the strongest and most reliable material. Furniture made of wood.impregnated with a moisture-proof product, looks very nice and elegant, but usually the cost of such furniture is high and besides it can also gradually lose its qualities as MDF.
