The washbasin is an indispensable sanitary ware product in our daily life, so how to choose a washbasin? What are the categories of basins? Let’s take a look together below.
1. Classification of bathroom vanities
1. Corner basin: Since the corner basin occupies a small area, it is generally suitable for smaller bathrooms. After installation, the bathroom has more room for maneuver.
2. Ordinary basin: suitable for general decoration of the bathroom, economical and practical, but not beautiful.
3. Vertical basin: suitable for bathrooms with small area, it can match with high-end interior decoration and other luxury bathroom solutions.
4. There are desktop basins along the edge and the desktop basins without edges: it is suitable for the bathroom with larger space and higher decoration, and the countertop can be made of marble or granite.
There are generally three kinds of holes in the basin, namely the water inlet hole, the overflow hole and the drainage hole.
In order to fill the basin with water, the drain hole must be blocked. The drain hole is generally equipped with professional plugs. Some plugs can be directly removed or closed, and some are controlled by the pull and pressure rods attached to the faucet.
2. How to choose a bathroom vanity
1. Space determines form
Basins are roughly divided into two types: freestanding and desktop. The stand-alone model has beautiful appearance, small footprint, and easy maintenance, suitable for bathrooms with small space.
However, it needs to be equipped with a mirror box or a toilet rack, so that some toiletries and cosmetics can be placed in the space above the basin.
A desktop washbasin takes up at least the space of a small desk. Toiletries can be placed on the countertop, and sundries can be placed in the cabinet below.
If the bathroom area is not large, you can consider installing a triangular washbasin in the corner, and a triangular sundries rack can be hung above the basin to store cleaning supplies.
2. Pay attention to height
Whether it is a freestanding or desktop basin, the height of the basin surface or the countertop from the ground should be 80-85 cm, because a basin that is too short will cause back pain.
3. Pay attention to the finish
The edge of the basin must be slightly higher than the countertop, but the connection with the countertop must be smooth, so that the water splashed on the countertop can be wiped back into the basin without hindrance, and at the same time, it is easy to clean the countertop.
The table itself must be made of materials with a smooth surface, and the edges and corners must be smooth to avoid bumps.
The smoothness of the basin itself is also very important. The basin surface with high smoothness makes it difficult for debris in the water to adhere to the surface, which relatively reduces the number of times that need to be scrubbed.
4. Depth and Faucet
Conventionally, the depth of the basin is proportional to the strength of the water flow of the faucet installed on it, that is, the deep basin can install the faucet with strong water flow.
Never install a thick faucet on a basin with a shallow bottom, which will cause people to splash themselves when using water. The bottom of the pot should have enough curvature, not too flat, otherwise water will accumulate in it.
The above is the knowledge about the classification of bathroom vanities and the purchase method of bathroom vanities that I bring to you. I hope it will be helpful to you.
