Under sink cabinets

Set of bathroom furniture almost does not change over time. A special place here is occupied by drawers, which have always been and will always be relevant. And even better if a sink is installed on them. Such items have the main function, getting rid of unnecessary clutter in the room.

The cabinet under the sink can undoubtedly be designated as an ideal option for bathroom furniture, and this is confirmed by the following advantages:

• It is the perfect place to place all the necessary arsenal of accessories and things;
• The possibility to use the table top as a table;
• Saving useful space in the bathroom;
• Excellent masking of all communications;
• Versatility;
• Perfectly suits both, as an overhead and built-in sink;
• There are variants, when it is possible to build even a washing machine into the cabinet;
• Reliability and durability.

The disadvantages of this type of furniture are minor. Many models of nightstands can hinder the repair of plumbing, if suddenly found to be faulty. Some of the bollards create difficulties in cleaning the room, namely floor-standing designs.

There are two varieties of nightstands under the sink, they are floor-standing and suspended.

The latter type is becoming more and more popular among consumers. These cabinets are perfect for small rooms, not burdening the space, but even visually increasing it. They are very easy to use, do not hinder cleaning, do not interfere in the case of flooding. An important point is the installation of the cabinet, it must be attached only to a solid panel or brick partition with dowels or anchors.

Floor products in turn are divided into subspecies or otherwise differ in configuration:

Models on legs. Suitable for rooms with underfloor heating. They are easily installed on their own, it is only necessary to attach it to the wall, if this is provided by the design of the product. For reliability, the furniture legs should be made of chrome-plated metal.

Models with a plinth. Just like the previous devices, they are easy to install. These nightstands are very stable thanks to the base, but it is important that this element is one hundred percent protected from the effects of water, moisture and temperature changes, in order to maintain the integrity of the structure.

Corner models. This is an ergonomic and stylish furniture for the bathroom, especially the small size. They look very original. Such cabinets under the sink are compact, but quite roomy.

Functionality for the cabinet under the sink, of course, is of great importance, but at the same time the shape and material of the furniture are also important. They give the interior of the bathroom a stylish and unique look. Manufacturers are constantly updating the model range, so there are more requirements for them.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the practicality and durability of materials for nightstands. Their resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations should be absolute. If the furniture is made of wood, MDF panels, or veneer, the surfaces are treated in two ways:

• The first is painting. The process is naturally automated. The material in this case is treated with primer and several layers of paint, which certainly gives good protection.
• The second - is the treatment with moisture-resistant varnish and a special compound which prevents the growth of all kinds of bacteria and mold. The inner walls and drawer shelves are also covered with a laminating film to protect them.

If for the manufacture of cabinet used artificial stone, there is no need to doubt its reliability. The main thing is that the surface was not damaged: chips, potholes, scratches, which contribute to the destruction of this material.

Also note that Cabinet under the washbasin also made of solid wood of different species.Many of which by nature have excellent physical and operational properties. Thanks to the high density of the wood, it is virtually immune to water and various kinds of microbes.

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a cabinet under the sink, we advise to adhere to the following recommendations:

• About the fact that the material of the furniture should be water-resistant and resistant to corrosion, you now know, but do not forget to make sure that there are no cracks, chips, streaks and unpainted places;
• Tightly fitting edges of the fronts, if any, will guarantee a longer life;
• Particular attention should be paid to the details of the furniture. Metal nickel-plated or aluminum fittings will serve you almost forever, unlike the chrome-plated plastic, which will lose its appearance in the first months;
• Closers on doors and drawers will help to avoid loud banging when closing them;
• It is good if the cabinet is as functional as possible, with all sorts of drawers, shelves, a mirror, a laundry basket, and of course access to all these compartments;
• The color of the product is also important and it must be in harmony with the overall interior of the bathroom;
• It also matters the size of the sink, common dimensions are bowls from 50 to 80 centimeters;
• We advise to buy a cabinet from the collection editions, so that later you can easily buy the missing piece of furniture, if you suddenly have the desire.
