Choosing a hanging sink

The house is the personification of the inner world of a person. That is why the interior of each room must be well designed.

During the renovation process, special attention should be paid to the bathroom. Today there are many models of furniture and sanitary ware on the market, which differ noticeably from each other not only in quality, but also in the style of execution.

One of the most popular elements in the modern bathroom is the wall-hung washbasin. Previously, such models were used only in public places, but now hanging sinks are installed in private properties.

Hanging sinks were known back in the days of the USSR, but they have become popular and in demand only now. This proliferation was due to improved design, as well as the huge selection that the manufacturer provides today.

Thus, even for the smallest room, you can choose the required size and shape that will go well with the entire bathroom interior.

The hinged structure is quite often mounted on horizontal brackets, and the set comes with a cabinet with a towel holder and a washstand.

Hanging washbasins are divided into several categories, which differ from each other.

The client will always be able to choose exactly the base that suits him.

• Classic wall-hung washbasin - a well-known species. Only the wash bowl is attached to the wall.
• Working surface. A hanging countertop washbasin helps you place all the toiletries you need to use. Thus, everything will always be at hand. This structure is also attached to the wall without additional elements.
• On the curbstone. This type of sink is used as a place for additional storage of necessary things or a work surface. The curbstone also has a good "camouflage" function, hiding pipes or unnecessary elements that can clutter up the interior of the room.

• Overhead wall-mounted washbasin. As a rule, it is attached to a table top or cabinet.
• Embedded. The sink is installed on a horizontal surface, so the use of a countertop or cabinet is a must.

It should be noted that the most popular is the wall-mounted sink with a work surface. It is used in public spaces (with a pedestal or semi-pedestal with a right wing), and also gives a special style to the ambience of the home bathroom / toilet.

Hanging sinks can be made from a variety of materials.

This material is very reliable and lightweight. It has a glossy smooth surface, which guarantees easy operation for a long time. In addition, the surface is well cleaned, the main thing is to use only those products that are intended for acrylic. Baths are made of material, in addition to sinks.

Small chips can form from such impacts.

The hanging washbasin made of this material is one of the best on the market.The product is strong enough, easy to use and easy to clean.

The biggest disadvantages are the high cost as well as the heavy weight.

If financial resources permit, it is possible to custom-make a marble wall-hung sink, which will be made of solid stone, and not of crumb. These sinks have an exquisite appearance, good durability, and are also environmentally friendly.

The main disadvantage is the high price.

It is worth noting that shells were made from this material back in the USSR period. Sanitary ware is durable and inexpensive, which makes it affordable enough to purchase.

The main disadvantage is the rough surface of the material, which absorbs dirt. To avoid this, many manufacturers began to cover the surface with a thin layer of acrylic. Thus, the product becomes better quality and more convenient to use.

As a rule, sinks made of this material are used in the kitchen. The right combination of these sinks with other items in the room will create a unique design.

Another disadvantage is the need for special surface care. So, for cleaning it is necessary to use special products that are designed specifically for this material, and at the end of the procedure, the sink should be wiped with a dry cloth in order to avoid the appearance of streaks.

Quite a fashionable and unusual design option. This material began to gain popularity quite recently.

Outwardly, the sink looks quite light and visually increases the space in the bathroom. In addition, the product is highly durable.

The only drawback is the complex care procedure. If the operating rules are not followed and the cleaning is not carried out regularly, limescale deposits can form on the sink.

This material is one of the most popular. It is fairly inexpensive, quiet and fairly easy to use. It is noted for good durability. Often, cast iron sinks are made with an acrylic coating, which makes it easier to care for the product and increases its service life.

Therefore, for its installation, special reinforced mortgages are used.

Summing up, it is worth noting that there is a significant variety of materials on the market (including stainless steel units or aluminum devices). This enables each user to choose the most attractive option for him.

There are many different sizes available to suit any space.

In addition, if a wall-hung sink is made to order, then the client has the opportunity to set his own individual dimensions required for comfortable use.

In general, there are three standard sizes:

• Maxi. Typically the largest shells. Width varies from 60 to 150 cm. It all depends on the client's preferences, as well as on the size of the bathroom.
• Standard. The width of such a hanging sink does not exceed 60 cm.
• Mini. It is the smallest. Its width does not exceed 30 - 40 cm.

It should also be noted that an important indicator is the depth of the wall-hung sink., which can vary from 25 to 50 cm. The choice of depth is more individual in nature and, as a rule, is not associated with personal preference in appearance. The depth is selected in accordance with the growth of family members.

The most popular sizes are 60x40, 50x42 and 40x20.

Thus, in order not to be mistaken in your choice, you need to consult with a specialist who will help you determine the size, as well as the depth and height of the product.

Production progress does not stand still, so the market offers a huge variety of different designs of plumbing fixtures for the home. This also applies to wall-hung sinks.

At the same time, it should be noted that all sinks, regardless of their shape, will have rounded edges, which makes the use less traumatic and safer.

There are several popular forms of wall-hung sinks.

• Corner sinks. As a rule, they are the most compact option. Ideal for a small bathroom.
• Countertops. This option is suitable for medium to large spaces.
• Wide rectangular sinks. Need a lot of space.
• Double sinks. Designed for couples or large families.
• Suspended sinks with an unusual shape. This option is a creative design solution that requires a modern design for the entire bathroom. Sinks can take various shapes (for example, round) and will (for the most part) be made to order.

It should be noted that the most popular are rectangular wide and narrow corner sinks.

Today, a large number of wall-hung sinks are presented, which differ not only in shape and size, but also in color.

The most popular color is, of course, white. This is due to the fact that it is perfectly combined with other interior details in the bathroom.

Black is also a popular color. This shade is perfect for a darker room that includes elements of wood or brick.

It should be noted that, in general, the color scheme completely depends on the personal preferences of the owner of the house, as well as on the design of the room.

As a rule, many do not think about choosing a manufacturer. Most buyers pay more attention to the design, as well as to the material from which the product is made. Despite this, there are the most popular manufacturers who have earned high praise for their work.

It is believed that the best manufacturers of sanitary ware are precisely foreign companies.

• ALBATROS. It is a leading manufacturer of premium quality sanitary ware. Only high quality materials are used. The cost of the products is quite expensive, but it is justified by the flawless and durable use of the device. The manufacturer offers not only high quality, but also various designs.
• Apollo. It is a fairly well-known manufacturer that is engaged in the manufacture of not only sinks, but also other types of sanitary ware. The products are of good quality and long-term use.
• BOLAN S. R. L. An Italian manufacturer that manufactures sinks, as well as various sanitary ware and bathroom furniture.

• EAGO. It is also a leading manufacturer of sanitary ware, which is represented in many stores and catalogs.
• SANTEK. A Russian manufacturer that manufactures devices of good quality and is one of the most popular in Russia.

Among the manufacturers of quality products, one can also highlight such brands as: Roca, Cersanit, Gustavsberg, Debba, Ideal Standard, Jacob Delafon, Victoria, Melana MLN 7947AR and Sturm Step Mini.

The choice of a wall-hung sink is directly related to the size of the room, as well as to the personal preferences of the buyer. Today, there are a huge number of products on the market that are completely different from each other. Among them, everyone can choose exactly what they need.Otherwise (if you need help), you can hire a designer who can choose exactly the sink that suits the overall interior of a particular bathroom.

The water supply to such a structure is not very difficult.

The choice of the place where the sink will be installed is also important. As a rule, a lot depends on the weight of the product. Heavy devices require a sturdy surface as well as additional hardware. Installation on drywall is not allowed.

First of all, the height of the attachment is measured. As a rule, it should be at least 85 cm above the floor. This distance is the most optimal.

For further actions, you need the assistance of an assistant who will hold the sink. So, the markings are drawn on the wall in the form of a straight line parallel to the floor. Then - the sink is applied to this line, and then the places where the fasteners will be located are marked. It is for this that an assistant is needed, because it is quite difficult to carry out this action on your own. He will also monitor any deviations that may arise.

Further, holes are drilled in the wall (at the marking points) for fasteners. Before screwing the fastening pins into the hole, it is necessary to drive the dowels into them. Thus, the structure will hold up better.

The studs do not need to be screwed in all the way. They should protrude just enough to secure the sink. Experts recommend leaving an indent at a distance of the shell thickness with a margin of 10 - 15 mm. A stock is needed to screw in the fastening nuts.

The faucet should be installed before fixing the sink itself. This is due to the fact that you have to work from below, which is extremely inconvenient with a suspended product installed.

The next step is to install the sink itself. It is put on the fasteners that were originally made, and then the nuts are screwed in for fastening.

Further, the sink must be connected to the water supply and sewerage system, which will provide water drainage. For connection, hot and cold water hoses are connected to special pipes.
