What are the differences in the shells for their design features: the
- "tulip" or sink on the pedestal is called so because it is mounted on a leg hiding unsightly pipes and sewerage. Undoubted plus of this design - no need to carry out additional work on installing the washbasin and inserting pipes into the walls. If the washbasin foot does not have a rear part, it is called a semi pedestal;
- type of washbasin "console" is attached to the wall on brackets, water and sewer systems are concealed in the wall. Such shells can be placed on thumbs or keep on consoles. This is a very common and inexpensive option.
- built-in sink model comes complete with a bedside table, behind which all communications are hidden. The cabinet also has a place for storing household chemicals and various household trivia. Produce a table top and a cabinet made of MDF, fiberboard, marble or wood, treated with water repellent;
- a washbasin for the basin type "basin" or "water lily" is a container in the form of a bowl, a bowl, a cube, a flower, which are placed on top of the countertop. Conveniently, under the lower bed in the pedestal, because of the lack of pipes, you can put a washing machine;

Differences in sinks from
materials Sinks in the bathroom can be made from a variety of materials. What are their advantages and disadvantages, let's make a comparative analysis:
- Ceramics. Most recently, we could not imagine a plumber from any other material, except ceramics. Ceramic plumbing was in all apartments. Thanks to a smooth surface, the ceramic is easy to clean. Ceramic products are durable and highly hygienic. Often, raw materials for consumer goods are faience, while porcelain is very expensive raw materials and can be chosen by a pocket.
- Marble - it's prestigious and chic, but also expensive. Such plumbing is cut from a single piece of marble slab of natural origin. Marble is truly the king of all materials and can take a worthy place in the appropriate interior. Agree, "moydodyr" of marble in "Khrushchev" will look inappropriate. The lack of marble products is a complex care on them. The fact is that mud enters the natural pores of the stone, and fungi can develop there.
- Polymer concrete or artificial marble is a cheaper alternative to a natural fellow. Sometimes artificial stone does not differ from natural externally, and even has its advantages - it is much stronger than natural marble and is easily repaired in case of chips. In care, cast stone is also much more convenient, since it has no pores.
- Glass sink for the bathroom - it's very exquisite. Do not be afraid that if it's glass.then it is necessarily fragile. This is not so, manufacturers make shells of high-strength tempered glass, which can only be broken by a strong hammer blow.
- Corian is one of the newest composite materials, which includes acrylic resin, pigments and mineral filler. The material is very convenient to process, with it you can easily achieve a unique color and texture. Therefore, if there is a desire to buy an unusual washstand of intricate shape, then Corian is exactly what you need. The material is durable, hygienic and suitable for any interior.
- Metal. Often used stainless steel. Of course, the shells are durable, easy to care for, but to the horror of the banal.
- The tree is used most rarely, as it is very expensive. However, they look in the interior is very unusual. Wood is specially treated for conditions with high humidity and is not subject to rotting.
When choosing a washbasin for a bathroom, the main thing is not to get carried away with external beauty, but remember if it will be convenient for you to use it.
