Choosing a sink in the bathroom
Regular sink
A sink without a pedestal can be mounted as a console, that is, using special brackets on which it is hung, or by type «tulip», when the base of the sink is a special leg on which it is installed.
Sink sizes
small – length – 40-50 cm, depth – 12-35 cm
medium – length – 55-75 cm, depth – 35-48 cm
large – length -75-125 cm, depth – 48-61 cm
Small sinks are very compact, but there is a chance that all splashes during use will end up on the floor. If there is more than enough space in the bathroom, then a large or even double sink can be installed. However, in the second case, so that two people can use it at the same time, the distance between the central points must be at least ninety centimeters..
Of great importance is the height at which the sink is fixed. For tall men, it should be higher, and for women and children, lower. Footboards or pedestals limit the possibility of adjusting this height, but the brackets will allow you to fix the sink at the optimal height for all family members.
To prevent water from accumulating on the sink, it must be installed at a slight angle. However, this angle should be minimal, otherwise everything that is on the sink will fall from it..
Sink with cabinet
A sink with a cabinet can be built-in when it is installed in a special niche in the cabinet itself, or the sink can be made in the form of a bowl, which is simply installed on top of the cabinet table.
It will not be possible to adjust the height of such a sink, since it is determined by the height of the cabinet. However, from the point of view of functionality, this option is very convenient, because everything you need will be kept at hand.
A vanity unit under the sink is critical for tiny bathrooms where every square inch counts..
