1. Basin purchase guide:
When choosing a washbasin, you should pay attention to: if the washbasin is too shallow, it will splash water; If the bathroom area is small, generally choose a pedestal basin; if the bathroom is large, generally choose a basin and self-made countertop matching, but at present, it is more popular to directly order rich and well-crafted countertops or bathroom cabinets from bathroom manufacturers, so you don’t worry Save effort. However, when manufacturers design bathroom cabinets or countertops, they generally use wall drainage to improve the quality and value of the product. Therefore, it is best to buy it before the bathroom wall treatment, so as to refit the water, reserve a good pipeline, and do a good job for product installation. Be prepared to avoid rework or failure to install favorite products. Moreover, such products often have a certain order period, and they also need to be ordered in advance so as not to delay the construction period.
For ceramic basins, consumers should pay the most attention to the quality of the glaze, because a good glaze will not hang dirty, the surface is easy to clean, and it will still be as bright as new after long-term use. When choosing, you can face the light and observe from the side of the ceramic from multiple angles. A good glaze should have no stains, pinholes, sand holes and air bubbles, and the surface is very smooth.

Water absorption is an important indicator of ceramic basins. Generally speaking, ceramic products have a certain ability to absorb and penetrate water. The lower the water absorption, the better the product. Because after water is sucked into the ceramic, the ceramic will expand to a certain extent, which will easily cause the glaze on the ceramic surface to crack due to swelling, and easily absorb the dirt and peculiar smell in the water into the ceramic, which will produce peculiar smell that cannot be removed over time. The state stipulates that sanitary ceramics with a water absorption rate of less than 3% are high-grade ceramics.
For glass basins, it is recommended that if economic conditions permit, it is best to choose a product with a wall thickness of 9mm, because it can withstand a relatively high temperature of 80°C, and has better impact resistance and damage resistance. Due to the high cost of glass basins from craftsmanship to design, the price is relatively expensive. Consumers should shop around when choosing the same product, but they should also consider the strength and reputation of the manufacturer.
In addition, according to the actual conditions of the bathroom and personal preferences, there are several ways to choose a washbasin:
1. Above-counter basin: easy to install, and items can be placed on the marble countertop.
2. Under-counter basin: easy to clean, high-grade, and can place items on the marble countertop. The under-counter basin has relatively high installation requirements, and the size of the reserved position on the countertop must match the size of the basin, otherwise it will affect the appearance after installation.
3. Pedestal basin: It has the characteristics of the same color as the basin and the column, does not take up space, is easy to install, easy to clean, and has good ventilation performance.
4. Hanging basin: The style is simple, and its characteristics are similar to those of the pedestal basin. It is suitable for the in-wall drainage system.

4. The wall to install the hanging basin must be a load-bearing wall, otherwise the wall thickness must be more than 10 cm.
5. When choosing a ceramic basin, you should observe the reflection of the surface under strong light, so that some small trachoma and blemishes will be seen at a glance.

7. In terms of price, basins below 500 yuan are low-to-medium-end products. This kind of basin is economical and affordable, but the color and shape do not change much. Most of them are made of white ceramics, mainly oval and semicircular. Ceramic washbasins priced from 1,000 to 5,000 yuan are high-end products. Products at this price point are finely crafted, and some have matching towel racks, tooth bowls and soap dishes. The humanized design is in place.
