Sink with a cabinet in the bathroom: choose the best

In this article we will talk about what kind of bedside tables under the sink in the bathroom can be purchased and installed. We will also consider what the special furniture for the bathroom is, and what are the criteria for its selection.

The topic of the article is more than relevant, because the range of furniture for use in bathrooms expands every year and, as a result, it is not easy to choose the right product.

Types of furniture installed under the sink

At present, the following assortment of special furniture intended for arranging a bathroom is on the market:

• hanging washbasins;
• corner cabinets with integrated sink;
• pedestals with base;
• pedestals with sink;
• floor stands with sink.

The listed categories differ from each other in configuration, dimensions, method of installation, location, etc. Of course, the most important distinguishing factor is the price of the product.

So, we have listed the main types of furniture on the market, we will tell you more about each of these categories.

Wall-mounted washbasins

Suspended devices are characterized by a number of advantages, including:

• Ability to integrate into rooms with limited space.
• Reliability and durability of the structure due to the reinforced hull.
• Ability to install under the bowl of the sink so as not to be visible mounting hardware.
• A wide range of cabinet options, including drawers, cupboards with doors, open niches, etc.
• Easy installation and, as a result, the ability to do the installation by hand.
• Great design that will surely fit into the interior of most modern bathrooms.

Are there any drawbacks to this solution? There is only one drawback, but it should be taken into account when choosing - hanging furniture in bathrooms can be installed only if the surface of the walls is strong enough.

Corner cabinets with integrated sink

Corner bedside table in the bathroom with a sink is installed for the following reasons:

• compact dimensions and optimal location in terms of arrangement of not too spacious bathrooms;
• a wide range of configurations and colors, and, as a result, the possibility of use in any interior;
• despite the small size, corner washbasins can hide engineering communications;
• availability on the market of both corner floor and corner mounted modifications, as a result of which you can choose the option that is suitable for surfaces with both high and low density.

Among the disadvantages of angular designs, we note that the installation of suspended modifications is more complex than the installation of conventional wall pedestals.

Curbstones with a socle

The basement stand under the sink in the bathroom is set for a long time. Such designs are the traditional solution optimal for use in full-sized bathrooms.

Curbstones are convenient in operation as they are characterized by spaciousness and excellent ergonomics. Again, the range of offers on the market includes modifications with different configurations. That is, the internal volume of furniture can be occupied by open shelves, shelves with covered doors, etc.

Important: Choosing this type of special furniture, you can be sure that there will be no problem with the location of communications.

Among the significant drawbacks of structures with a plinth it is especially worth noting the almost complete absence of a gap between the bottom of the structure and the floor of the bathroom. As a result, excessive moisture on the floor while bathing will lead to the fact that the base will swell and rot. In addition, the presence of the basement, adjacent to the floor, makes it difficult to clean.

Other varieties

• Bedside tables with sink are commonly used for modern and classic bathroom interiors.

In this case, the sink is located directly at the top of the furniture. For greater stability, the bowl is attached at several points to the cabinet, and therefore mounting on the wall is not needed.

In some versions, the bowl may not be invoice, and mortise. This type of furniture is the best solution for use in rooms with insufficiently strong walls, in the surface of which fasteners simply cannot be held.

• Floor vanities with sink are full-size washbasins with wall layout.

Like the basement modifications, such facilities are tightly adjacent to the floor. Therefore, before installing such thumbs, you need to think about how to protect the bottom edge from moisture.

If the furniture does not have factory protection, you can try to apply a thin layer of silicone to the cut. A more durable solution would be to install a plastic furniture edge along the entire perimeter of the lower cut.

Questions that arise when choosing furniture for bathrooms

So, we have considered the main types of bathroom furniture, it remains to decide what to choose, and for this we will answer the questions that most often ask buyers of bedside tables with a sink.

• "Moidodyr", what is it? This is just a cabinet specially made for the installation of the sink. For these purposes, a hole in the countertop of the structure is provided that corresponds to a bowl dynamometer.

“Moidodyr” is a key element in the bathroom. Therefore, this structure is purchased first and the rest of the entourage is chosen for it.

• Is it possible to install the sink in the “moidodyr” instead of the standard bowl? "Moidodyr" designed and manufactured under a specific type of bowl. You can pick a replacement for the standard bowl in terms of color and depth, but the diameter should remain the same.

However, if you wish, you can expand the mounting bore using a jigsaw and insert the bowl you chose.

• What to choose ready-made furniture or a set of parts in the package?

The answer to this question is not easy, since much depends on the quality of the product. If the quality of a set for assembly with your own hands is above the level of quality of the finished product, you need to choose a set. If both options are similar in quality of materials used and workmanship, it is better to choose ready-made furniture.

Important: Often, already assembled furniture has greater moisture resistance than what you yourself collect from a set.

• What materials are preferred for the production of "moydodyrov"? When choosing furniture in the bathroom you need to pay attention to the type of material used in the production.

For example, the most common bedside cabinets made of particle board and fiberboard cost less than MDF products. But even despite the fact that the products from chipboard is treated with special impregnations, the level of moisture resistance is extremely low. Therefore, when choosing, try to give preference to products from MDF coated with PVC veneer.

Furniture made of natural wood is characterized by the greatest durability, but such products are freely available in rare quantities and their price is high.

• What to choose, furniture with a base with legs or a suspended structure?

As already mentioned, each of these options has its own advantages and disadvantages. But, if you are keeping your bathroom clean, a “moydodyr” with a blind base is not the best option, since it is not easy to remove the garbage from under it. Suspended structures or pedestals with legs practically do not hinder the conduct of cleaning.

• What is the acceptable height of a bathroom drawer? This parameter depends on the type of furniture. For example, legs with legs often have a height of 820 mm. Suspended modifications do not have a standard height, since you will be able to set them to the level you require during installation.
• What are the features of care? The care instruction is not a big deal - it is enough to erase moisture from the surface in time. And, most importantly, take care of an effective ventilation system in the bathroom, as this is the key to long-term preservation of furniture.
