How to make the best choice when buying a cabinet vanity?
The washbasin is one of the main details of the bathroom space, which has various types depending on their type and use.
One of the main spaces that is essential in every home is the bathroom. In bathrooms, there is a functional and main element called the washbasin.
There are different types of washbasins. One of them that has been with us since the past is the floor-standing or standing washbasin. Today, in addition to floor-standing washbasins, various and beautiful types of washbasins are produced.
Vanity designs and models
Vanities are produced in two models: with and without cabinets. Vanities without cabinets are the same as standing washbasins that are usually made of porcelain and were used in most homes. This type of washbasin is produced in different dimensions and sizes. If you also use this model of washbasin in your home and are looking for a small change in your bathroom, we have a special offer for you. You can use a box or cupboard to store toiletries and detergents if you wish, depending on the amount of space available in your bathroom.
As mentioned, another model of washbasin is designed and produced called a cabinet or unit washbasin. This model has been very popular because it is more practical, and by choosing it, you can easily use the space under your sink. The space under the sink is a good place to place all kinds of detergents and hygiene products. Cabinet washbasins are produced in two types: wall-mounted and pedestal. If your bathroom is so small that by placing a pedestal cabinet washbasin, you lose space to place the bathroom slippers, we suggest using the wall-mounted cabinet type. The space under this washbasin is a good place to place slippers or even a trash can.
If your bathroom has a lot of space and you are not limited by space, we recommend using a pedestal sink. Because this type of sink is placed on the floor, it can withstand more weight than a wall-mounted model. As a result, you are free to choose the material of the sink and countertop on the unit.
Material and design of the washbasin
Usually, the material of the washbasin is unbreakable porcelain, but you can order sinks made of ceramic, glass, wood and metal, depending on your taste.
Transparency of the glaze and the absence of lines and scratches, a surface without waves and roughness, the absence of hairline cracks (usually these cracks are not easily visible), resistance to detergents and acids are among the points to consider when choosing a washbasin.
The most suitable material for the cabinet or washbasin unit is PVC. Be careful if you use wooden cabinets, they must be made of engineered wood. Due to the high humidity in bathrooms, the material used in these parts must be waterproof and moisture-proof. The material of the cabinet or washbasin counter top can be made of natural stones such as granite, quartz, marble, etc. If you use natural stones, you must be careful in choosing detergents. Natural stones are vulnerable to acidic detergents.
Standard washbasin sizes
Fortunately, washbasins are designed and manufactured in different sizes and dimensions. If for some reason you cannot use standard washbasins, you can order your washbasin with the desired dimensions and size. Please pay attention to the standard sizes when ordering. Of course, the standard height of the washbasin is 80 cm, but you can consider its height higher or lower depending on your needs and the height of your family members. The width or depth of a standard washbasin is 40 to 55 cm. Also, its appropriate length is 40 to 60 cm.
Which washbasin for which space and style?
One of the things you should pay attention to when choosing a washbasin is the choice of design and style. If you want to have a modern bathroom, choose a model with a glass or ceramic sink and a PVC unit with a smooth and polished surface. Also, consider simple and expressive designs, such as squares and rectangles, for its appearance.
If you want a classic design, order units with natural stone tops such as marble. Preferably, the bases should be curved with classic designs and carvings. Using gold, baked red, navy, eggplant and dark brown colors in these washbasins will help you create a classic style. You can also order the cabinet and body to be made of wood; in this case, be sure to use dark wood and light it with sunlight (yellow).
