Sink for the sink. Which one to choose?
This furniture is divided into three types depending on the installation method:
- on the legs. It is this model that is better than the others, if in the bathroom it is planned to install warm floors. In case of a floor failure, it will be easy to get to the breakdown. In addition, during the operation under such a cabinet it is easy to remove dirt or spilled water. When buying, you need to pay attention to the presence of silicone pads on the legs: they keep intact the tile. Also it is necessary to ask, from what material the legs are made. If they are made of plastic, then within a month, three to four will lose their appeal. It is better that this part is chrome-plated;
- with a socle - this pedestal is very stable, as it touches the floor tightly. But this and its drawback. Because in the bathroom, as is always known is wet. Including on the floor. And on contact with water, the base begins to deteriorate quickly. Result: this pedestal will last 2-3 years. In addition, wet cleaning under it is not done;
- pendant is a good idea for a small room. It does not cause a sense of conglomeration and visually increases space. In addition, it is hygienic - well ventilated from all sides and under it it is very convenient to wash the floor. This is an excellent solution in the case when there are plumbing boxes on the floor, because of which it is impossible to put an ordinary cabinet. The disadvantage is the complexity of the installation. After all, this pedestal does not rest on the floor, but is attached to the wall. So, the wall must withstand its weight. Shaky designs are not appropriate here.
Cabinet for a bathroom sink may have different configurations:
- is the most common - rectangular;
- will save space angular thumbs. In addition, they have a stylish look and in combination with mirrors visually increase the space of the room.
There are other configurations of thumbs. In this regard, it will be quite easy to find this furniture for any washstand. Large bathrooms sometimes have a double washbasin with a bedside table.
Materials for pedestals
- plastic - the most popular and versatile for such furniture. Modern plastics are not inferior to other materials and serve as their alternative. For example, plastic often replaces glass. Such furniture is absolutely not afraid of moisture;it is easy to clean;
- tree. Most often used for the design of the facade. Of course, wood for a damp room is necessarily impregnated with special water-resistant products. But even a well-treated tree will eventually "pull" moisture and swell. If it is dried, then the curb can "lead" and it will warp.
- glass - moisture and water is not afraid at all. In products made of glass attracts airiness, transparency and chic design. But it is always worth remembering that broken glass furniture can not be restored;
- stone. In the production of furniture, granite, marble, onyx, basalt are used. A natural stone, like other materials, requires careful treatment. After all, if you do not look after him, he will lose all attraction. But such pedestals for small rooms, most likely, will not work.
The sink in the bathroom with the curbstone has a lot of advantages, regardless of whether it is outdoor or suspended. You just need to choose the right one. But it is important to always remember that furniture for wet conditions should be not only beautiful, but most importantly - made of moisture-resistant, high-quality material. Be comfortable and multifunctional.
