Tips for choice

When buying a bathroom cabinet with a washbasin, do not neglect the following recommendations:

  • The perfect appearance of the product - a guarantee of durability, so before buying make sure there are no leaks, dents, cracks and chips;
  • Choose such devices, the fittings and accessories of which are made of metal, and preferably chrome, but not plastic, otherwise you will be disappointed after a year;
  • A drawer should be easy to use. The more it will have auxiliary components, the better;
  • And of course, do not forget that the design and construction of the cabinet with a sink correspond to the overall design of the bathroom.

Installation

It would seem that you bought the furniture and put it - no complications, but even here there are nuances that should not be bypassed.

  1. The first thing to do is to think in advance about the place for the future purchase, to take out the water and sewage pipes. In the future, this will help to position the plumbing without problems.
  2. Making measurements and determining the area under the cabinet, make sure that the surrounding space will not interfere with the opening of the flaps or doors of the product.
  3. If the purchased equipment is disassembled and you are going to install it yourself, then take care to have the necessary tools. Usually, apart from screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, FUM tape and sealant, you will not need anything else. But if you bought the faucet for the sink separately, then immediately buy a siphon and an inlet for hot and cold water.
  4. For the assembly of the cabinet under the sink, you will be provided with instructions, which will not be difficult to figure out. However, during assembly, make sure that the screws screwed in securely, so that later you do not have to do double work.
  5. It is better to install the faucet with hoses before placing the sink on a permanent place. The siphon can be handled the same way.
  6. Turn off the water supply before directly installing the equipment.
  7. If the furniture is attached to the wall for reliability and stability, prepare in advance the holes in those places where the bolts will be screwed in.
  8. When all the work is done and the water supply and sewage is connected, all that remains is to check the performance of all components.
