Cabinets in the bathroom: hinged, built-in, corner, under the sink. How to hang

The bathroom is exactly the place where the morning most of us begin. Therefore, for the morning to be good, everything in this room should be perfect. The same applies to the cabinets, as the dimensions of the bathrooms are not very large and all the necessary hygiene and cosmetic accessories should fit here.

Bathroom cabinets can differ from each other not only by material, but also by basic parameters and purpose. They are supposed to accommodate hygiene products, cosmetics, household chemicals and other trifles. This will help to save a lot of useful space in the bathroom. Also, lockers solve a number of aesthetic problems, complementing the interior with a modern look.

Bathroom cabinets are available:

• Attached - are considered the most popular. They are both standard and angular. I mount them on special brackets. And for those cabinets, where it is supposed to store heavy elements, there is an additional fixation by screws.
• Built-in - is used in those rooms where there are niches or other grooves in the wall. They help the rational use of space in the room.

The furniture to be used in the bathroom must have a number of qualities. It should be strong, resistant to high humidity and temperature changes, ecological and durable. When choosing a cabinet for a bathroom it is important to take into account that it must necessarily be durable and made of moisture-resistant elements.

For their production,

• ( laminated chipboard) is most often used, which is produced by pressing wood and adding additional resin. Such material is absolutely moisture resistant due to lamination. So is the color scheme of such furniture.
• MDF is made from wood fibers and synthetic glue. It is resistant to water and temperature changes. Therefore, such furniture can serve you for a long period of time.
• Glass( mirror) is often used for decoration of the cabinet's facade. Such furniture is also not terrible for moisture, since this material has not high hygroscopicity. When choosing such a cabinet, you need to make sure that the mirror has a special protective coating, which prevents the formation of debris in case of damage. But, it should be noted that the glass needs regular care, since it will show traces of even the slightest drop of water. To avoid this, clean it regularly with a dry cloth.
• The natural wood looks luxurious enough, but such furniture can not be called practical. This is due to the heat that the tree quickly deforms, being in a room with high humidity. To give preference to furniture from a tree costs only in the event that your bathroom is spacious enough and has an excellent ventilation system. As a rule, such products belong to the premium class and are quite expensive.

Any bathroom is a source of high humidity. Every time we take a shower or a bath, water droplets may get on the surrounding furniture. The steam that forms is deposited on all surrounding objects, including furniture, in the form of condensate. But, these problems are easily eliminated. To deal with high humidity, it is enough to install the fan in the exhaust hole. Installation in a heated towel room also contributes to the fight against humidity and condensation. It can be connected to a stationary heating system or operate from electricity.

To ensure that your furniture in the bathroom is not afraid of moisture, you should abandon models that are made of natural wood and give preference to laminated chipboard or MDF.Cabinets made of wood, which are coated with a special waterproof protective coating, can be used in bathrooms of any area.

To get rid of misted glasses and mirrors, you can install quality ventilation. To do this, you can install a forced ventilation system. Also, glass surfaces can be treated with a special agent that can be bought in a store or made independently of glycerin or gelatin.
