Constant attribute of the bathroom
An obligatory attribute of the bathroom is a washbasin or sink. The first designs of the shells in the bathroom were made of sound material and served, if not to lie, for 10 years or even 15. Primitive structures were attached to bulky metal corners.
Over time, the bright and shiny outer side of the shell gradually formed a calcareous coating, which could not be scraped off the surface. Today the bizarre shapes of shells and the material of their manufacture amaze imagination. On what principles should you choose a shell?
Shape of shells
Shells can have different shapes, ranging from the usual for perception round and ending with a rectangular shape.
As practice shows, the shape of the shell carries the main functional purpose. Therefore, shells can be:
• Corner
• with two bowls
• Worktop sinks.
The most rational for using the geometry of a bathroom room are the actual corner sinks. The original design of the corner bathtub and miniature design, which fully functions as a full-size washbasin, creates maximum comfort with minimal space. Angle shells in most cases are hanging, and fastening is carried out using special elements. An excellent addition to the corner sink is the curbstone, which masks the fittings and siphon.
A stunning invention in the world of sanitary ware can be called a bowl with two bowls, but for bowls with 2 bowls you need tables or countertops of considerable size, special drainage fittings with two separately standing mixers. An excellent option for a large family or lovers to wash at the same time. Such a sanitary tandem allows you to save time, but not water.
The sinks of the countertop for the bathroom can be considered an innovative sanitary ware. A sort of symbiosis of crossing just a shell and a chic countertop. Solid surfaces of the table top in the operational plan considerably surpass the majority of models of shells.
Surfaces of shells are less susceptible to contamination and are easy to install and maintain. Therefore, the material for the table tops is chosen to be effective and durable. It can be an artificial stone, metal, ceramics or a specially hardened impact-resistant glass.
Sink installation type
When choosing a sink, you need to determine the type of its installation.
The shape of the shell in a certain way depends on the type of installation. The installation type is limited in several ways:
• The most common option is the shell console
• a sink on the pedestal (the familiar "tulip")
• built-in sinks
• floor washbasins
• hanging sinks.
The simplest option is a washbasin console or just a sink.
The washbasin console is attached to the bathroom wall using brackets. A good option for small bathrooms, because such a sink allows you to save space. In addition, the fastening on the brackets is the most "proletarian" and inexpensive type of attachment. However, all the pipes and communications become visible to everyone.
Therefore, you will need to come up with a decorative patch panel.
A familiar version of the sink is a sink on the pedestal ("tulip"). Structurally, the sink consists of a bowl and a stand (pedestal). The stand in this case hides from the curious eyes of communication, and it will be most attractive to look in spacious bathrooms, because the pedestal occupies a significant place.
A hyperpractical solution for a bathroom can be built-in sinks. In this case, the choice will be directed to the simultaneous solution of problems: to hide all incoming communications and to create a storage place for numerous bathroom accessories. Therefore, a sink with a curbstone is quite capable of coping with these tasks. The only thing that can puzzle when choosing is the overall dimensions of the cabinet, which occupies a solid area in comparison with the tonkonogim "tulip".
The most popular floor sinks. Elegant and presentable type of flooring shells with a harmonious and winning design quickly bypassed all existing types of installation. And pendant sinks, mounted above the washing machine, simply replaced the previously existing types of installation.
What material is made of shells
The main materials for making shells are:
• ceramics
• Sanitary porcelain
• earthenware
• fake diamond
• metal
• Glass.
Ceramics is the most popular material in the manufacture of shells. Ceramics for plumbing serves a long time, easy to use and has an attractive design. With ceramics on the performance characteristics, plumbing porcelain can argue. Sinks made of sanitary porcelain have a shiny smooth surface, with which dirt is easily cleaned, and little porosity.
However, porcelain is quite expensive material, so choosing a shell of porcelain or faience, you have to fork out. Artificial stone is a quality analogue of natural stones. Shells countertops of artificial stone visually do not differ from the products of natural stones, and the cost of such countertops of artificial stone is much cheaper.
Metal shells are made of thin stainless steel, so they are durable, durable and reliable, like the very shells in the toilet of a comfortable car. But such shells have an incredible noise of falling water with each washing. Perhaps, therefore, they are no longer fashionable and not in demand, such as glass sinks.
Glass sink is an exclusive design solution. Such washbasins are made of impact-resistant glass, it is almost impossible to break them. But what a presentable look for glass shells!
What should I look for when choosing a sink? In addition to attractive exterior design, it is necessary to pay attention to the number of holes for installing the mixer, the shape of the overflow hole and the geometric dimensions. Modern stylish washbasins in the bathroom are like sea shells, combined with quality materials, shapes and colors. Therefore, find your shell, which will give you a beautiful pearl.
