Below we consider the optimal dimensions of the sink for the bathroom and kitchen, we will give some tips that will solve some of the problems associated with this.

The optimal size of the device

The sink is a sanitary product for daily use that helps to wash hands, wash and brush teeth.

Companies engaged in the production of sanitary equipment, enable consumers to choose from a huge range of models that differ among themselves by the main parameters:

• overall dimensions;
• various form;
• interesting and not very invoice;
• color design.
• mounting options.

There are also additional features of each product, for example:

• whether the place is made under the mixer or the sink is installed from it separately;
• how the overflow and drainage of water from the product is developed.

Such diversity sometimes baffles the buyer, as it is difficult for him to make an unequivocal choice in favor of a product that can harmoniously fit into the interior of a kitchen or bathroom.

Tip: while pursuing the beauty of the device and its unusual design, pay attention also to the functionality of the product.

Therefore, we recommend that when choosing a sink, to focus not only on its aesthetic characteristics. Decide whether it can fit into the interior of the kitchen and bathroom in size - width, depth, height, these parameters should be harmonious, ultimately.

Before purchasing a sanitary appliance, use the following guidelines:

• take measurements of the kitchen and bathroom;
• draw a diagram on paper, observing the chosen scale;
• show on the chart the size and placement of items that are planned to be installed in the room after the repair.

Such clarity will provide an opportunity to better understand what dimensions are needed for the sink and other items.

Choose the width of the equipment

This parameter directly depends on the dimensions of the room itself, where it is necessary to install a plumbing fixture. Consider this question in more detail:

Tip: really match the size of the sink and the area of ​​the room where it will be installed, then during installation there will be no difficult questions.

Equipment depth

Another important parameter when choosing a product - the size of 480-610 mm is considered optimal.

You can check whether the device is suitable for you or not by a simple experiment:

1. Come close to the sink and pull your hand forward.
2. The ideal size is considered when the cup ends in the middle of the palm or at the tips of the fingers.

Tip: look at the overall dimensions in the product data sheet, if they are not there, measure them with your own hands with the help of a building tape measure. Keep in mind that even the extra 1-2 cm will not allow the product to accurately fit into place and it will have to be returned. Do not create yourself extra problems.

Sanitary device height

1. One of the most difficult parameters, which is always difficult to select, as each family member has his own, different from the others growth.
2. There are regulatory documents that regulate what should be the height above the floor sink according to GOST in the bathroom or kitchen, so that both adults and children can use it most comfortably. They are usually oriented on the installation of sanitary equipment in:

• state institutions;
• schools;
• kindergartens.

For example, in a bathroom, a sink installation height for:

• adults - 800 mm to the side;
• teenagers - 700 mm to the side;
• children - 600 mm.

1. In a regular apartment, the sink cannot be positioned so that the dimensions from the floor for each correspond to the standards.. Therefore, the standard is adopted - from the floor to the board the height should be 800-850 mm, but this figure is not fixed. Therefore, you can define it yourself if the selected model allows you to do this. Height adjustment is made using special mounting brackets or fixtures. But, this can be done only with models of the suspension type. If you buy a ceramic, glass or metal sink for a bathroom with a pedestal stand (“tulip”), it will not be possible to adjust the height yourself. It is also impossible to adjust the height of the sinks, which are built into the cabinets.
2. Often the installation of the sink in the kitchen and bathroom is made directly to the countertop. Then its height from the floor is determined by the size of the table. Typically, the height of the shell in this case determines the manufacturer, which focuses on the standard level - 800-850 mm.

Recommendations of specialists

The following tips will help you avoid unnecessary problems:

1. Do not buy too deep a bowl, otherwise you will have to bend all the time, which will lead to painful sensations after a while.
2. Between the front and rear wall of the corner sink distance should not be more than the dimensions of the cabinet itself.
3. Consider the model of the mixer used, the number of splashes during operation will depend on it.
4. In many ways, the choice depends on the number of people permanently living in the apartment.
5. Remember that the same washing option may look different due to its size, so take this circumstance into account.
