The choice of plumbing is based on practical tasks, bathroom design and personal preferences of the person. Melana sinks perfectly fit into any interior, complement it and help you to correctly highlight accents. A classic floor-standing washbasin will become part of a minimalist interior, and a compact washstand is suitable for placing a small area, where every ten centimeters are counted.

The Russian company was originally engaged in the supply of plumbing, but in 2006 it opened its own production. Being engaged in the design and creation of metal sinks, Melana has attracted a low price consumer.The cost of the brand's products has become one of the lowest in the segment it occupies, which in no way affected the quality and appearance of the products.

To create a sink is taken stainless steel 201 marks. It includes impurities of chromium and nickel, which allows the use of the sink in the kitchen. The material is absolutely safe, does not emit harmful substances, and is also resistant to food acids and aggressive media. In addition, such shells have increased corrosion resistance, which prolongs their life several times. Improving product quality is also achieved through the regular introduction of innovative technologies in the production process.

Tracking the trends in the plumbing market, the company's specialists regularly develop new types of sinks: every year up to five positions appear in the range.The direction of "Melana Lux" includes design models, complemented by various decorative elements. Such a figured washbasin is suitable for arranging non-standard bathrooms.

Washbasins differ in shape, size and design, selected for a specific interior. The manufacturer offers four types of sinks in terms of the coating used. Polished models are the darkest and fit into a monochrome design. Such a black sink will be the epitome of conceptuality, best of all it will look in a room with a minimum of decor.

Matte finish is a neutral solution characterized by versatility. This washstand is suitable for any room, requires a minimum of care. Like the remaining two covers, it is gray in color. Sateen is a surface covered with the smallest stripes, creating a raw effect. Such a sink shimmers in the light and will become part of the high-tech interior. Unusually looks like a “decor” coating, on which patterns are applied, for example, in the form of many circles. Sinks are classified according to appearance.

Solid sink, in the lower part of which there is a massive base. The advantage of the model is that the design closes all pipes and siphons, looks monolithic. The brand offers washbasins in the form of a cylinder or a rectangle, there are also models that taper towards the floor. The sink type "monoblock" can be used as a free-standing.

A kind of monoblock stands washstand on a pedestal, the second name of which - “tulip”. It is attached to the wall, easy to install and operate. In this case, the size of the base is roughly correlated with the diameter of the pipes for the supply of water. Universal model is more compact, suitable for classic bathrooms. Comfortable leg allows you to use the free space under the sink for any purpose.

The washbasin is located on a special console, its edges protrude above the countertop level, due to which the furniture is protected from ingress of water, soap and exposure to aggressive media (for example, laundry detergent). Bowl-shaped models look elegant, suitable for classic interiors. Such sinks become the central element, they set the basis for the style of the whole room.

The model is located inside the hole located in the console. Due to the fact that the edges of the sink are on the same level with the table top, it is almost invisible and occupies a minimum of space. The sink can be made in the form of a bowl or be equipped with an additional ledge for storing hygiene products and cosmetics. For bathrooms in public places, the brand offers dual models.

Despite the original appearance, the mortise shell has a number of drawbacks. In particular, it is more difficult to install, and this requires a special console. But it is possible to arrange in the bottom of the box for storing bath accessories. The model also allows to hide pipes, screws and drains from prying eyes. As for the design, the brand offers as washstands with a smooth surface, and made with waves.

The most compact version of the sink. It is attached to the wall and does not require the use of additional components, while the drain remains visible. Washbasin fixation is carried out using anchors and embedded elements,which speeds up the installation process.

Size - the next criterion for which different plumbing. The shells, whose width varies in the range between 40 and 70-75 cm, are considered as standard. Products of this type are purchased for domestic needs. In conditions of limited space (in offices, cafes) mini-washstands may be appropriate - less than 40 cm, and models with a width of 80-90 cm are used in non-standard interiors. The optimal depth of the sink is 30-60 cm: splashes of water will not scatter and a person will not have to lean too much when washing.

There are several subtleties that simplify the selection of the model. However, none of them is an iron rule, since the purchase of plumbing in many respects correlates strictly with the personal preferences of the person and the amount available.

Selection criteria.

• Style. Sink design should be consistent with the appearance of the entire bathroom. First of all, they determine the general style direction of the room. Melana offers classic models suitable for traditional interiors, as well as ultramodern high-tech sinks made of metal. It is important to take into account the compatibility of colors, since the collections contain both neutral white models and orange, green, gray.
• Dimensions. Dimensions are directly related to the area of ​​the room. A large sink will look ridiculous in a compact bathroom, moreover, it can simply not fit there. All additional elements are taken into account, the presence or absence of a tabletop on which the sink is located.

• The presence of additional wings and projections. They are used to store soap dishes, cups with toothpastes and brushes, cleansers and other things. Elements allow you to organically organize the available space, but they can be completely useless,when hygiene products are initially stored elsewhere. Take into account the fact that the sink with ledges takes up more space.
• Mixer. The crane is purchased taking into account the structural features of the washbasin, the specifics of mounting components. Therefore, it is recommended to buy a mixer after the sink: this way you can avoid wasting money.

The range of Milana shells includes over 400 models. Francesca 80 and Estet 60, which have strict geometric shapes, are among the most sought-after and universal. The first of the sinks is made of sanitary ware and comes complete with a cabinet made of moisture-proof wooden panels. It is equipped with a drawer for storing small items. Both models are mounted in the mortise way.

The sink "Estet" is a rectangular bowl with projections on the edges. It is minimalist, has a recessed edge. To create a sink, cast marble is taken, giving it a touch of nobility and luxury. Medium dimensions simplify the integration of plumbing in any interior, and the brevity of the forms makes the model universal. For registration of sinks the neutral gray color is used.
