Sewage

When designing an interior for a bathroom or kitchen, the question of installing such a device as a wash basin rises quite often. The fact is that for fixing such a construction, it is possible to use both special supports and special fastenings that affect the appearance and functional characteristics. That is why the cabinet is most often made under the sink with his own hands, taking into account all the specifics of a particular model and the personal preferences of the customer.

Phased process

To begin with, it must be said that this article will describe one of the methods for manufacturing products from new materials. Working with them is much easier, and the lifetime of the final product will be much higher. However, if the nightstand under the sink with your own hands is made of old furniture, then it is first disassembled into individual elements, in order to even simply sort out the fixtures and connections.

Project

First of all, you need to create a sketch of the future product. It is necessary to take into account the appearance of the facade. If the need arises for the design to fit into the overall composition, then you can separately purchase doors and fittings, although the price of the design will increase greatly.

Next, make a drawing, taking into account the dimensions of the room. This should take into account the specifics of accessories for opening doors and fasteners shelves. Some manuals describing how to make a cabinet under the sink with their own hands, with particular attention should be paid to the moment of fixing the sink on the top cover or instead of it.

Some projects may involve the placement of not only the lower but also the upper sections, which turns an ordinary cabinet into a full-blown mirror

Immediately it should be noted that there are a lot of various models of such structures, which means that it is necessary to choose the one that would most suit the specific room. However, most often the choice stops on a product with a laundry basket or on systems involving the placement of household appliances.

Some masters take ready-made instructions for assembling factory systems as the basis of their projects and make their own drawings based on them.

Particular attention when creating a project should be given to the drain system. The fact is that it takes quite a lot of space and needs special placement. It is a poet before installing a washbasin with a pedestal that conducts water supply and sewage to a certain level, adjusting it to a specific type of siphon and mixer.

Tip! Before you create a project, you must have all the data on fasteners, washing, siphon and fittings that will be used. It is these elements that often influence the design, sometimes changing its appearance.

Material selection and assembly

Immediately it should be said that the typical instruction for the manufacture of furniture involves the use of laminated chipboard, which is used for the construction of frames. In this case, the rear panel is made of fiberboard, and the facade can be made of virtually any material. The fact is that such a selection is considered the most optimal and saves a lot of money.

Wooden structures are expensive and require further processing, but they also have high strength and good appearance.

Fixing of all elements is made with the help of special fasteners designed specifically for these purposes. However, even a frame of 45 cm will have a slight backlash, which is eliminated by installing the rear panel using brackets and a stapler. At the same time, it is necessary to cut holes in it necessary for the entry of water supply and sewage systems.

It is important to note that the fixing of the washbasin with the cabinet can be installed in different ways, depending on the model of washing. However, it is worth remembering that to avoid the appearance of cracks or gaps will not work. Therefore you should use special seals or sealants for sewage.

Tip! If the material is purchased in large companies, then you can immediately ask to make sawing according to specified sizes. This process does not take much time and will affect the cost minimally.

Installation

Usually the installation of a washbasin with a pedestal consists in placing the product on the square with its subsequent connection to the communication systems. It should immediately be said that the floor for models that assume placement on it should be perfectly flat.

Professional craftsmen usually use additional special hardware in the form of corners, by means of which they fix the product to the wall. Usually, this technology is used on single models or if a double washbasin with a cabinet is used.
It is best to perform the installation on special strips of plastic, which are stuffed on the case.. They protect the material from moisture and give rigidity and stability.

Tip! Such an operation should be performed only after all the finishing work has been done. It is more practical and will not cause accidental harm, both furniture and coatings when applied.
