In this case, such models are completely the same type of installation with the standard options.

You just have to choose the most suitable method from the following:

1. Wall mounted washbasins are considered the most ergonomic models today. For fasteners it is necessary to use special brackets, especially when it comes to ceramic plumbing fixtures, in which the weight can be significant.
2. On the pedestal (foot), or "tulip" - the appearance of such models can be compared to a flower. The advantages of such kits are that all communications (water supply and drainage) can be easily hidden from view.

1. With a cabinet, or “moidodyr” - those who choose to use the space in the bathroom with the maximum benefit choose such options. The cabinet under the sink makes it possible not only to hide communications, but also to use it for storing detergents and cleaning products. In the cabinet under the sink can also be placed flow-through mini-heater.

Caregivers Recommendations

Selecting and installing products in the toilet is just the first step. Now it is necessary to adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturer correctly, so that the sink lasts a long time, pleasing with its impeccable look.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with such rules:

1. The instruction prohibits the use of abrasive compounds that can severely damage the surface to clean glass shells.. Means resembling a cream or gel are best suited, a means of caring for windows has proven to be excellent.
2. When caring for ceramics, be aware that you can wash it with acidic compounds or detergent no more than once a week.. If you want to remove limescale, use only special tools for bathrooms. It is forbidden to use abrasive compounds and caustic soda in the care, as this may damage the applied protective layer of the glaze.
3. Composite compositions are less whimsical, so they can be cleaned with both acid-containing compositions and gels and creams based cleaning products.. You should not be nervous if you see scratches or stains on the surface once. It is subject to restoration, only for this you should contact the relevant specialists.
4. Natural stone is a special material, therefore for its processing it is necessary to use compositions capable of creating a special film for repelling dirt and water.. It is forbidden to use rigid sponges and compositions in which there may be coloring matter. Do not forget - natural stone has a porous structure into which dirt, moisture and odors can “clog”.

1. As we already said above, oxides may appear over time in shells made of non-ferrous metals.. For example, copper is covered with a greenish film (or patina). To remove it, use lemon juice. To clear the surface of the bowl to shine, you should prepare a mixture of vinegar, salt and flour, which you need to rub it thoroughly, then wash it with water and dry it with a soft cloth. For bronze washbasins, special solutions are available that simplify the care of them and remove the material's vulnerability.
