Precautions for purchasing bathroom cabinets
Considerations for buying bathroom cabinets
The most complicated part of the entire bathroom must be the sink. The sink consists of three main parts: the mirror, the sink and the bathroom cabinet - but all three are often counted together when buying a "bathroom cabinet".
In other words, the bathroom cabinet is the deserved star of the show in the overall design of the washbasin. Today we will talk about the considerations when buying bathroom cabinets.
1. mirror cabinet storage, which is a cabinet directly behind the mirror, the mirror as a cabinet door, to make a hidden storage bathroom cabinet, providing superb storage capacity.
2. The shelves on both sides of the mirror are especially suitable for ladies who need to do their makeup in the bathroom. This open shelf can make makeup more convenient.
Washbasin purchase
Depending on the installation method, washbasins can be divided into above-counter basins, under-counter basins and one-piece basins.
Above-counter basin and under-counter basin can probably be understood literally: all or part of the basin above the countertop, for the countertop basin; all basin below the countertop, for the countertop basin▼.
As you can see, whether it is a basin on top or under the counter, it needs to be divided into two parts: the countertop and the basin. Since there are two parts, there must be a seam. The seam of the countertop basin is above the countertop, while the seam of the undercounter basin is below the countertop.
This seam needs to be filled with glass glue during installation. And because the bathroom is always wet, glass glue is good again, the future will turn yellow, mold, and eventually become a sanitary dead end.
Therefore, it is recommended that the use of countertops and basins integrated one-piece basin.
The problem that one-piece basins tend to face is that the countertop area is too small. When you wash or put on makeup here later, you can only use your hands to hold things.
Buying a cabinet
A small cabinet will be attached under the washbasin, and the space inside this small cabinet is often relatively simple. Mainly because the washbasin drainage pipe will need to pass through here in the future, so it can't be made too complicated and troublesome to overhaul in the future.
When buying such a small cabinet, pay attention to the relationship between the cabinet and the ground.
In the past, most bathroom cabinets were floor standing. That is, like a normal table, the bottom is supported by four legs. But the bathroom is not like other rooms, the bathroom is very dirty and can easily produce stagnant water.
To eliminate this dead space, the best way is to raise the bathroom cabinet so that it is not in contact with the ground, that is, use wall-mounted bathroom cabinets. This way, there is more space at the bottom of the bathroom cabinet and there are no obstructions. On the one hand, it is not easy to store dirty things, and on the other hand, it will be easier to clean.
