Sink under the faucet without holes: options and installation

Sink - a very important element in the bathroom. Some modern consumers prefer an unconventional version - a sink without a hole for the faucet. Such plumbing elements are considered to be designer - they differ not only in functionality, but also in aesthetics.

The shape of the sink without a hole under the mixer is often quite simple, and it may seem that the manufacturers of such models tend to do without all that is superfluous. But not everything is so simple: the design of such products are complicated. Sometimes there are simply no holes - manufacturers can well disguise even a drain. It is recommended to stop the selection on large models - so the splashes from the sink will not fall on other surfaces in the bathroom.

Various options of execution are possible: consignment note, suspended and built-in sink. Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of such products - you can choose just such a model that would be ideal for a particular interior.

Overflow system. So that after reaching a certain level, the liquid does not overflow from the sink, designers and designers are constantly looking for new solutions. You can choose from several options described below.

Installing an unclosable drain valve. The use of built-in siphon. This element is attached to the drain pipe. In those cases, when the drain hole closes, the fluid flowing into the sink begins to rise in the siphon. When a certain level is reached, the liquid will flow through the partition and will begin to flow into the sewer system.

Use a drain hole that opens automatically when the fluid is at a certain level.For products that do not have a hole for the mixer, there are both advantages and certain disadvantages. Quite a significant drawback of such sinks - significant inconvenience in the implementation of installation work. To install the pipes, you have to damage the walls.

The liquid that is used in such products is not under the mixer. This is very important for many consumers, plus, because the gasket does not wear out, and therefore you do not have to think about how best to replace it.

Popular among consumers enjoys Rosa "Oka" model. This is a hinged design, which has a rather long service life. The country producing such shells is Russia.

A very interesting option - a washstand on a pedestal "Chamomile". The material from which this product is made is faience. Pedestal comes in the kit.

To avoid getting fake, you should choose products from a reliable manufacturer. Installation is recommended to entrust experienced professionals. Different installation options for faucets and sinks are possible. It is worth more to consider the popular methods of installation.

In this case, the mixer will keep the eyeliner. Such installation work can be carried out in the event that the coating is fairly hard - otherwise it will be pressed under the stops of the mounting angle.

When mounting a product on a wall, many are faced with such a problem as the spread of gaps between the threads of the mixer and tees on the surface. To compensate for it, you can use eccentrics (they are also called "scythes"). Eccentrics are attached to the mixer, applying for this cap nuts with gaskets made of silicone or rubber.

Faucets, which are designed to be installed on a washbasin or sink, are remarkably mounted on the table surface. Using this method, also need to consider certain subtleties:

• You will have to carefully monitor the condition of the gaskets on the valve rods and under the drain. When installed on the edge of the sink, the liquid that flows is in the sewage system, and when mounted on the tabletop, water will suffer from it.
• In the part of the sink or washbasin, which is the back (where there is no hole for the mixer), there should not be a large shelf - otherwise, it is possible that the water (strong jet) will be directed to the back of the washbasin, and not to its middle. So very uncomfortable to wash.
• In the tabletop quite flexible nuts will be hidden. If there is a need to change the eyeliner, you will need to spend time trying to remove the mixer.

Installing the sink can also be done in different ways. It all depends on the type of product.

Sinks that are made of artificial stone, can be porcelain, earthenware and porcelain stoneware. They can be mounted on the wall without using additional stops. Of course, you will need to take into account certain nuances:

• It can only be mounted on the anchor if the faucet is mounted on a wall.
• The wall, which is located behind, should be quite thick. It is quite natural that the earthenware material with a thickness of only a few millimeters cannot bear the heavy load.
• The back wall of the washbasin should be of considerable height.

Attaching the shell to the anchor is as follows:

• First you need to mark holes on the wall. The recommended distance from the floor to the sink is 850 mm. You can hang the sink a few inches lower if the children live in the apartment.
• It is recommended to use a special drill designed for tiled and glass surfaces. Should do without significant effort. From time to time it is necessary to cool with water the victorious soldering. The diameter of the plastic plug should be slightly smaller than the hole in the tile.
• Then you need to use a punch. You need to drive a dowel into the wall and screw in the anchor screws - for this you need to use a hexagon or stop the selection on the wrench.

• Having installed the sink, it is necessary to pull it against the wall with the help of nuts with plastic washers.
• Then it should be treated with a sealant of silicone seam, which is located between the wall and the sink.

The use of brackets is a method that is suitable for a wide variety of sinks. Thus, it is possible to make the fastening as durable as possible if the brackets themselves are of sufficient strength. In this case, there are some nuances:

• It is recommended to attach brackets to the wall using anchors.
• For brackets, special holes should be provided at the bottom of the washbasin.
• If fasteners are included in the kit, it will be fairly easy to do the job. It is quite natural that the cost in this case will be higher, but you will no longer have to think about how to deal with the mount.

You can position the sink on the cabinet. In this case, you should install the mixer on the wall (above the cabinet) or directly on the furniture. This has no effect on the installation methods of the sink or washbasin.

Quite heavy sinks, which are ceramic, cast iron, or created from artificial stone and other similar materials, are fixed with maximum reliability due to their own weight.Before mounting in the hole on the edges of the sink, you need to stick a tape of foam rubber. You can also use a sealant: it is necessary to apply it on the edge of the cabinet from the back side.

Screw clamps can be used. Using these fasteners, you should press a stainless steel mortise washbasin against the countertop. Ensure the tightness is necessary using the above methods.

The stainless steel washbasin should be placed on the side walls of the drawer, not on the countertop. It can be fixed with the help of plastic angles with a slanting groove. When shifting sideways, they press the edge of the sink to the ends of the walls. However, the bar, connected to the thumbs with metal plates, provides a more secure anchorage. It is placed under the edge of the sink.

Many people choose the option when the mixer is attached to the wall above the sink - it is very convenient to use such a faucet.

Some owners prefer to install the mixer on the surface of the table - this mount is very durable.

Sink or washbasin without a hole under the mixer can look very elegant - such a product will become a real decoration of the interior.

For lovers of originality fit model of unusual shape and bright color. However, when choosing such a product, you should always take into account the style of the interior - it should fit into the overall design as harmoniously as possible.
