Recommendations of specialists

Not always in the installation instructions, everything is clear or told. There are moments about which the home master should know before the work begins:

Fastener Check the completeness of the product when buying it in the trade network. Ideally, the necessary fasteners should comply with the stated installation instructions. In the case when the manufacturer does not provide for this or the fastener does not suit you for quality, purchase all the necessary details in advance. So you will feel much more confident after work.
Sealing
  1. To prevent moisture from entering the gap between the sink and the wall, the bowl should be sealed with silicone.
  2. After completing all installation work, check the drainage section of the system for tightness by filling the siphon with water. If leakage is detected, tighten the threaded connections tightly and insulate them additionally with a sealant.
Installation We recommend installing the sink after finishing the finishing work. We draw your attention to the implementation of the mounting holes.
Surface Fasteners sanitary equipment to the wall is justified only when the surface is strong and reliable. Otherwise, it is necessary to make a bearing frame in advance.
Water supply and siphon You can make a hidden eyeliner of water to the sink and hide the siphon in the cabinet or cabinet, which will simultaneously be a place for storing various toiletries. You can increase the free space under the sink when using a siphon of a flat shape. When properly installed, the bowl stands steadily, without movement and reels.
