Washbasins are essential sanitary ware products in our daily life, so how to choose wash basins? What are the categories of basins? Let’s take a look together below.
1. Classification of bathroom basins
1. Angle-shaped washbasin: Because the corner-shaped washbasin occupies a small area, it is generally suitable for smaller bathrooms. After installation, there is more room for maneuver in the bathroom.
2. Ordinary washbasin: It is suitable for bathrooms with general decoration. It is economical and applicable, but not beautiful.
3. Vertical washbasin: It is suitable for bathrooms with a small area, and it can match the interior high-end decoration and other luxury bathroom solutions.
4. Table-top washbasin with edge and without edge: it is suitable for bathrooms with large space and high-grade decoration, and the countertop can be made of marble or granite.
盆上一般有三种孔，即进水孔、溢水孔和排水孔。
In order to fill the basin with water, the drain hole must be blocked. The drain hole is generally equipped with a professional plug. Some plugs can be removed or closed directly, and some can be controlled by the pull-and-press lever attached to the faucet.
2. How to choose and buy bathroom vanity
1.空间决定形式
Basins are roughly divided into two types: freestanding and desktop. The independent style is beautiful in shape, small in floor space, and easy to maintain, suitable for bathrooms with little space.
But it needs to be equipped with a mirror box or a washstand in order to use the space above the basin to place some toiletries and cosmetics.
The desktop washbasin must occupy at least the space of a small desk. Washing utensils 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 sundry rack can be hung above the basin to store washing supplies.
2. Pay attention to altitude
Whether it is a free-standing or desktop basin, the height of the basin or countertop from the ground should be 80-85 cm, because a basin that is too short will cause low back pain.
3.注意饰面
The edge of the washbasin must be slightly higher than the countertop, but the connection with the countertop must be smooth. The purpose is to wipe the splashed water back into the basin without hindrance, and at the same time facilitate the cleaning of the countertop.
The countertop itself must be made of smooth material, and the edges and corners must be smooth to avoid bumps.
The smoothness of the basin itself is also very important. The high-quality basin surface makes it difficult for the sundries in the water to adhere to the surface, which relatively reduces the number of scrubbing required.
4. Depth vs. tap
Conventionally, the depth of the basin is proportional to the strength of the water flow of the faucet installed on it, that is, only a deep basin can be installed with a faucet with strong water flow.
Never install a thick faucet on a basin with a shallow bottom, which will cause people to splash when using water. The bottom of the pot should have enough curvature and not be too flat, otherwise the water will accumulate in it.
The above is the knowledge about the classification of bathroom basins and the method of purchasing bathroom basins, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
