Choosing a hanging sink

The house is the personification of the inner world of man. That is why the interior of each of the rooms should be well developed.

In the repair process, special attention should be paid to the bathroom. Today on the market there are many models of furniture and plumbing, markedly different from each other not only in quality but also in the style of implementation.

One of the most popular elements of a modern bathroom is a hanging sink. Previously, such models were used only in public places, but now suspended shells are installed in private properties.

Hanging shells were known during the Soviet era, but they became popular and in demand only now. This spread was due to improved design, as well as a huge choice, which today provides the manufacturer.

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

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

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

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

• Classic hanging sink - a well-known view. Only the wash bowl is attached to the wall.
• Working surface. A washbasin with a work surface helps to place all the toiletries you need to use. Thus, everything will always be at hand. This design is also attached to the wall without additional elements.
• On the cabinet This type of sink is used as a place for additional storage of necessary things or a work surface. The bollard also has a good “camouflage” function, hiding pipes or extra elements,which can clutter the interior of the room.

• Laid on hanging sink. It is usually attached to the table top or pedestal.
• Built in. The sink is installed on a horizontal surface, so the use of a tabletop or pedestal is a must.

It is worth noting that the most popular is a hanging sink with a working surface. It is used in public places (with a pedestal or a semi-pedestal with a right wing), and also gives a special style to the decor of a home bathroom combined with a toilet.

Suspended sinks can be made of various materials.

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

Such punches can form small chips.

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

If financial means allow, then a marble pendant sink can be made to order, which will be made of solid stone, not crumbs. Such shells have an exquisite appearance, good durability, and are environmentally safe.

The main disadvantage is the high price.

It is worth noting that shells were made from this material during the USSR. Sanitary ware is durable and inexpensive, which makes it quite affordable for 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 and more convenient to use.

As a rule, sinks from this material are used in the kitchen.The correct combination of such sinks with other objects in the room will allow you to create a unique design.

Another disadvantage is the need for special care of the surface. So, for cleaning, you must use special tools 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 stains.

Fairly fashionable and unusual design option. This material began to gain popularity recently.

Externally, the sink looks quite light and visually expands the space in the bathroom. In addition, the product has high strength.

The only disadvantage is the complex procedure of care. In case of non-observance of the rules of operation and the absence of regular cleaning, a limescale may 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 by good durability.Often cast iron sinks are made with acrylic coating, which facilitates the process of caring for the product and increases the service life.

Therefore, for its installation uses special reinforced mortgages.

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

There are a large number of different sizes that are suitable for placing any area.

In addition, in case the suspended sink is made to order, then the client has the opportunity to set their own individual dimensions, which are necessary for comfortable use.

In general, there are three standard sizes:

• Maxi. As a rule, the largest sinks. The width varies from 60 to 150 cm. It all depends on the preferences of the client, as well as the size of the bathroom.
• Standard. The width of such a suspended shell does not exceed 60 cm.
• Mini. It is the smallest. Its width does not exceed 30 - 40 cm.

It is also worth noting that an important indicator is the depth of the suspended shell., which can vary from 25 to 50 cm. The choice of depth has a more individual character and, as a rule, is not associated with personal preference in appearance. Depth is chosen according to the height 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, therefore the huge variety of various design of bathroom equipment for the house is presented at the market. This also applies to suspended shells.

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

• Rectangular wide sinks. Need a lot of space.
• Double sinks. Designed for couples or large families.

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

Today there are a large number of suspended shells, 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 details of the interior in the bathroom.

No less popular color is also black. This shade is perfect for a darker room, which includes elements of wood or brick.

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

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

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

• ALBATROS. It is a leading manufacturer that produces elite quality plumbing. Only quality materials are used. The cost of products is not cheap, but it is justified by the flawless and durable use of the device. The manufacturer offers not only high quality, but also a different design.

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

Water supply to this design is not very complicated.

It is also important to choose the place where the sink will be installed. As a rule, a lot depends on the weight of the product. For heavy devices need a strong surface, as well as additional fasteners.Do not install on drywall.

The very first thing measured is the height of the mount. As a rule, it should be at a height of at least 85 cm from the floor. This distance is the most optimal.

For further action, you need the assistance of an assistant who will hold the sink. So, marking is carried out 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 there will be fasteners are marked. It is for this that an assistant is needed, because it is rather difficult to carry out this action on your own. He will also monitor abnormalities that may occur.

Next - in the wall (in places marking) are drilled holes for fasteners. Before screwing the studs into the hole, it is necessary to hammer dowels in them. Thus, the design will hold on better.

Studs do not need to twist to the end. They should protrude exactly at a level that is sufficient to fix the shell. Experts recommend leaving indentation at a distance of shell thickness with a margin of 10 - 15 mm.The stock is required for mounting the nuts for fastening.

The installation of the mixer should be carried out before fixing the sink itself. This is due to the fact that it is necessary to work from below, which is extremely inconvenient when the hanging product is installed.

The next step is to install the sink itself. It is worn on fasteners that were made initially, and then - tighten the nuts for fastening.

Next - the sink needs to be connected to the water supply and sewage system, which will provide water drainage. To connect the hoses of hot and cold water is connected to special pipes.
