Wall cabinets with a sink for the bathroom

1. Multifunctionality. In fact, buying one thing, you buy two at once: a cabinet for storing things and a washbasin.
2. Compactness. In a suspended state, such a cabinet does not take up space on the floor. Thus, such furniture does not create difficulties during cleaning, does not interfere with the legs to move freely.
3. Modern design solution. Suspended cabinet in the interior creates a sense of lightness airiness, looks stylish, fashionable.
4. Aesthetics. Hidden inside the cabinet water and sewage pipes, and even a small water heater of flow type will not violate the single style of the interior.

Hanging pedestals and sinks are a little more difficult to install than floor cabinet models. They are very demanding to the quality of the wall. If it is made of plasterboard, you will not be able to attach a cabinet to it, you need a more reliable option.

Suspended pedestals with a sink differ in many ways:

• in size;
• by shape;
• the materials of which they are made;
• The form and shape of the cabinet as well as the shape of the washbasins themselves.

The form of suspended pedestals, as well as the form of the sinks themselves, can be absolutely different:

• square;
• rectangular;
• round;
• oval;
• asymmetrical;
• triangular (corner), etc.

In addition, there is a distinction between cabinets with and without a tabletop.

The most popular and preferred shape of sinks is considered to be rectangular and oval. Such sinks take up less space and it is convenient to wash in them. As for the nightstands, their shape can be different from the shape of the sink installed in it.

The most compact cabinet is considered a cabinet in the form of a triangle. They take up a minimum of space in the corner of the room. Suitable for small bathrooms.

Now in furniture showrooms and stores you can find a huge number of models of such suspended bollards. They can have different outlines, design, color and size.

Cabinet units with two sinks are necessary to ensure that two people can perform water procedures in the bathroom at once. This is an ideal washbasin option for large families, especially in the morning hours of the day when everyone is rushing to work, school, etc.

Suspended bathroom vanity units are usually made of materials such as: MDF, chipboard, fiberboard and natural wood. The sink for the cabinet, in turn, can be made of: ceramic materials (faience and porcelain), stainless steel, artificial and natural stones (marble, onyx, granite), glass, bronze and copper.

The most compact cabinet with a built-in sink today is a cabinet with a width of 40 cm, a depth of 22 cm and a height of 60 cm. However, the minimum height of countertops with a sink is 40 cm. A cabinet with a sink with the following dimensions is considered to be very popular and quite convenient: 80cm*50cm*60cm. Double models have such parameters as: 130cm*49cm*50cm.

Besides, three groups of dimensions are considered popular sizes of washstands:

1. Maxi group, which includes tables with a sink, the width of which varies from 60 cm to 150 cm.
2. The standard group. It includes sinks with a width not exceeding 50-60 cm.
3. Mini group. The width of shells of this group does not exceed 30-50 cm.

The depth of all the named groups of shells can reach from 25-50 centimeters. However, in general, this figure is an individual character, as it depends on the height of its buyer and his personal preferences.

A cabinet with a washbasin should be bought in accordance with the overall design of the room. Very stylish, cute and modern looks a cabinet with rounded corners of a white sink with a touch faucet, with black walls and with white drawers, as well as with a mirror in a black and white frame. If some laconic floral pattern in a different color is applied to the white background of the drawers, it will add an ethnic character to the set. Decorated in the same colors and patterns toilet bowl and shelf will create a harmonious interior in the room.

There are several criteria that should guide the purchase of a hanging cabinet for the bathroom or restroom:

• The size of the cabinet. If you already like some cabinet, do not rush to buy it, because it should, first of all, fit the room in size. It should fit freely in the chosen place, access to the furniture should be open, and the doors should easily open and close. Choosing an appropriately sized hanging cabinet is now quite easy and possible. In almost any furniture showroom you can find the right size cabinet with a sink for every taste. The main thing is not to forget to measure the width of the place where you are going to place the cabinet.
• The functionality of the cabinet. The main tasks of such furniture, are to perform the functions of the sink and storage of things. If everything is clear with the first task, then the second is worth clarifying. Depending on this criterion, there are many types of bollards. There are cabinets with several drawers, where you can put towels, cosmetics, household chemicals and other bathroom or toiletries. Or there are cabinets with ordinary shelves, closed by doors, where you can put the same things as in the previous version. There are nightstands with baskets for dirty laundry. For a small bathroom, a cabinet that consists of two parts will be ideal: one for storing the storage of small items, and the other for storing dirty laundry.
• Installation method. Classic or angular form to buy, it is also up to you to decide. But here again you need to take into account the size of your bathroom. If it is small, and there still need to place a bathtub and washing machine, then it is worth looking at the corner form of the cabinet with a sink. Such furniture will significantly save bathroom space and will not create problems during cleaning.

It is possible to install a false cabinet with a sink yourself, without resorting to the help of professionals. The process of installation by your own forces will pass even faster and easier if you have someone nearby as an assistant. So, having decided to install a hanging cabinet, make sure that the wall is solid, and not made of plasterboard. Prepare the furniture and tools. If the furniture is not assembled, and the sink is not installed in it, first assemble it according to the instructions, and then do the installation of the sink.

The sink is installed either on the countertop, or directly on the cabinet. In the first case, first you need to cut a hole in the countertop for the sink. To do this, make a stencil of a large paper or cardboard of the bottom or that bottom part of the sink, which will sink into the countertop of the cabinet. Place the stencil on the countertop, trace the outline around the stencil with a pencil. Use an electric jigsaw to cut out the unwanted part, pre-drill a point about 8 mm in diameter with a drill. Use silicone adhesive to seal the ends at the cut points. Use a spatula to do this. If you don't have any silicone adhesive, temporarily tape the cut-offs together. If, however, the sink is not installed in the countertop, it must be attached to the wall. You can do this with anchor studs or anchor bolts. After installing the sink, and then the cabinet to the wall, check that the fit is accurate and without deviations.

After the test installation, remove the sink and cabinet and install the siphon and faucet. If the faucet is not included, then we advise you to buy a quality faucet. Good quality brands like Emmevi, Blanco, Vidma Seva-M. If you do not find these, pay attention to the price and weight of the product, the more massive it will be, the better the metal from which it is made.

Pay attention to the spigots. Pipes in a metal braid can eventually corrode and swell, leading to water leaks. It is therefore better to immediately replace them with a metal-plastic. It is also worth noting that it is not necessary to buy an expensive metal siphon, as its lower part will be hidden in the cabinet. It will be quite enough to buy a plastic version. Their upper part is made of the same material as the expensive siphons with a metal bottom, and the bottom is just as reliable and durable. Especially on the siphon usually put a filtration mesh, which will completely hide the bottom part.

No matter how tightly you try to attach the sink and cabinet to the wall, in some places there is still a small gap. To prevent them from becoming a place of accumulation of debris in the future, install special corners, pre-applying silicone.

Provided you have all the materials, tools, and most importantly the desire and time, you can always make furniture with a washbasin with your own hands.

Materials for the cabinet is better to order according to your size. At home, assemble all the fragments with screws, install a sink with or without a countertop, a faucet and a siphon and full-fledged bathroom furniture will be ready. All this can be done in the same way as in the previous section.

The main thing - do not forget to provide the manufactured cabinet with a sink with waterproofing. This can be done:

1. By treating the ends of the cut chipboard with silicone. Or you can glue melamine edges on them.
2. By gluing a standard self-adhesive film on each part, that is, the chipboard. It does not need to be trimmed at the edges, and you need to cover all the corners with it.
