Material for sinks and washbasins
The closest relatives of table plates can easily be called most sinks or washbasins for the bathroom.
Most table plates and washbasins are made from different types of ceramics.
Ceramics are the basis of faience or porcelain.
Porcelain itself is denser than earthenware.
Porcelain pores absorb less dirt - this is a more expensive type of ceramic.
To further protect the product from contamination, to facilitate their cleaning - such products are coated with glaze.
For sanitary products - ceramics are coated with a special dirt-repellent and antibacterial film - coating.
The color of most ceramic sinks is white, although there are color options on the market.
You can choose models of pastel colors, but in accordance with the requirements of fashion, manufacturers produce samples of bright colors - red, yellow and even black.
In today's market, there are a lot of representatives of foreign companies engaged in the production of ceramic washbasins or sinks.
But Russian companies also occupy a certain niche in the production of ceramic sanitary products.
If desired, you can pick up a large assortment of inexpensive sinks of elementary designs.
Depending on your requests, you can be offered chic designer models of washbasins.
Washstands made of artificial or natural stone are less common, although they are no less interesting and beautiful.
Washbasins made of natural or artificial stone have their own material color, preserve its texture and stone pattern.
Washbasins are also made of metal, mainly stainless steel.
Currently, colored glass washbasins are popular.
There are several ways to install washbasins.
Individual models can be installed in several ways at once.
Hanging washbasins (sinks)
Hanging washbasins are attached using brackets or screws.
In the case of mounting on brackets, brackets are attached at a certain height of the wall, and then a sink is installed on them.
In the case of mounting with screws, the washbasin itself is attached to the wall with screws.
Given the considerable weight of ceramic sinks - the wall should be quite strong, since it must withstand the weight of the washbasin.
The sinks with pedestals and semi-pedestals received great popularity throughout the world and, accordingly, in Russia.
These models are suspended, because by the method of installation they are necessarily attached to the wall.
The pedestal eases the load on the wall, as it takes on part of the weight of the washbasin - it supports it from below.
The pedestal looks quite aesthetically pleasing, as it masks a siphon.
Only a siphon hides the semi-pedestal, but it also looks pretty decent.
The use of a semi-pedestal allows you to use a place on the floor under the sink.
A sink with a semi-pedestal can be fixed at any height, depending on the interior or the requirements of the owners.
But the sink with a pedestal can be installed only at that height - what is the height of the pedestal itself.
The main material for such products is ceramic in the form of porcelain or earthenware.
Some manufacturers make pedestals or semi-pedestals of metal or plastic, if necessary, they can be shortened.
If the sanitary room is small and every centimeter of the area is very important - you can install the sink on a shelf or on a cabinet.
Modern manufacturers of sanitary ceramics often themselves design furniture for sanitary rooms.
You yourself can choose a wash basin suitable for design and furniture for it.
Modern sink models have towel holders that attach directly to sinks.
Countertop sinks
Washbasin models that are designed for installation with an insert in the countertop are in good demand.
There are various side options:
Some models are mounted with the protruding edges of the sink outward.
In other models, the edges of the sinks are entirely located under the countertop.
By design, such sinks are well suited for both retro interiors and contemporary-style interiors.
Interesting invoices look washbasins, they are not located inside the countertop, but on top.
It seems that on the tabletop there is a beautiful, massive, wide vessel.
This inspires a memory of the times of the 19th century, when civilization was not up to the mark, but they still only dreamed of sewage.
Now it is a full-fledged engineering construction with a sewer drain.
Floor-standing sinks (washbasins)
Models of floor-standing washbasins are a single whole of the bowl and its support.
These models are monolithic, in single copies, are luxurious and expensive.
This is a true work of art and not many manufacturing companies produce them.
Specialty Sinks
Modern manufacturers produce sinks with a narrow specialization.
There are washbasins that can be installed above the washing machine and, if necessary, can be found on the market for sanitary products.
There are washbasins for people with disabilities, they have a concave cutting edge for the convenience of the disabled and the elderly.
Geometric shapes of sinks (washbasins)
The larger the area of \u200b\u200bthe sink, the less likely it is to spill water under the bathtub or countertop.
But an oversized sink takes up a lot of space, and the question is close bathrooms - the cornerstone of small apartments.
The main part of the shells is oblong, it can be oval, rectangular or a semicircle.
This geometry allows you to get a large area of \u200b\u200bthe bowl and at the same time reduce its depth.
Round sinks are made smaller than oval and rectangular, but the correct shape of the bowl is beautiful in a modern interior.
Often there are round models in the form of a small shell on a massive countertop.
Small sinks are not convenient for washing, but it is a necessity for cramped sanitary rooms; you can always wash your hands in such a sink.
For the sake of saving precious space in a small bathroom, you can choose a compact angular shape of the sink.
Angular-shaped sinks are produced with and without furniture, with pedestals and semi-pedestals, small countertops and a towel holder.
Of course, countertop washbasins are more suitable for large-sized sanitary rooms.
On the countertop, you can conveniently arrange various bath accessories, bottles and jars.
Sometimes small recesses for wet items are made on the countertop - in this case, the water does not spread over the entire surface and this is very convenient, since the countertop is not afraid of water, it is easy to keep clean.
