During the process of renovating the bathroom at home, we definitely need to purchase some sanitary ware. For example, in our bathroom, we almost always need to install toilets, and there is also the installation of washbasins. So, what aspects should we choose from for toilets and washbasins? For example, a friend now asks this question: How to choose a washbasin and toilet?
What are the determining factors for choosing a washbasin and toilet in the bathroom
The first determining factor is the size of the bathroom. The size of the bathroom also determines the size of the washbasin and toilet that we can choose from. This is because we purchase toilets and washbasins that need to be installed in their respective positions. If the size is not suitable, even a good washbasin and toilet are just decorations.
The second determining factor is our usage habits. For example, there are two types of washbasins in the bathroom: the first type is an on stage basin, and the second type is an off stage basin. So we need to choose according to our usual usage habits. The same applies to toilets, including large-sized long toilets and wider ones.
The third determining factor is the installation method. The toilet in our bathroom is basically sitting directly on the ground, and then sealed and fixed with glass glue. Some of the washbasins in our bathroom are wall mounted or floor mounted, and the installation method should be confirmed in advance as much as possible.
How to choose a washbasin in the bathroom
The first point is that we need to select the countertop of the bathroom based on the reserved size of the washbasin in the bathroom. For example, the size of the common washbasin countertop in the bathroom is 1500mm × 1000mm, also 1800mm × 1200mm and other different sizes. When choosing, we must choose the countertop of the bathroom washbasin based on the actual size of our bathroom.
The second point is to choose the installation method of the washbasin. The main question here is whether we choose an on stage basin or an off stage basin. My personal suggestion is that for those with relatively small space at home, you can choose a basin on the stage; For those with a large space at home, you can choose a basin under the table.
The third point is the quality selection of the washbasin. How to ensure the quality of the washbasin depends on the quality of the glaze. We can observe the glaze of the washbasin, which has a good overall glossiness and consistent reflection, making it a good glaze. In addition, you can tap to listen to the sound. If it is clear and crisp, it indicates a dense texture.
The fourth point is to choose the brand and price of the washbasin. My personal suggestion is to choose a high-quality washbasin and try to choose a well-known brand. In addition, for the price, choose a medium priced washbasin to fully meet the needs of our family.
How to choose a toilet in the bathroom
The first thing we need to confirm is the size of the bathroom toilet. There are actually two dimensions to the bathroom toilet: the first is the distance between the toilet toilet drain hole and the wall; The second point is the size of the toilet itself. We must confirm in advance the distance between the drainage holes in the bathroom and the wall, such as the conventional dimensions of 350mm and 400mm. Select a matching toilet based on the hole spacing of the sewer pipe. We need to confirm the size of the toilet itself in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to use in the future.
Secondly, we need to understand how to distinguish the quality of toilets. First, let’s look at the weight of the toilet. The heavier the weight of the toilet itself, the better its quality, as its compactness is higher. The second point is to look at the glaze layer on the surface of the toilet. The glossiness of the glaze layer is good, and the overall reflection is consistent, indicating that the glaze layer is relatively good. The third point is also listening to sound. The more crisp the sound, the better the quality of the toilet.
The third point is the choice of toilet brand and price. In terms of brands, I personally suggest that everyone choose some well-known domestic brands to fully meet their needs. In terms of price, my personal suggestion is to choose a toilet that costs around 3000 yuan, which is very good.
What other factors should be considered when choosing a washbasin and toilet in the bathroom
The first point is to choose washbasins and toilets based on needs. Personally, I have always opposed blindly pursuing high prices. For example, at present, the price of a single toilet can reach tens of thousands of yuan, which I personally believe is completely unnecessary. We can choose the one with high cost-effectiveness.
The second point we need to focus on is the installation of washbasins and toilets. For the installation of washbasins, it is recommended to choose floor mounted ones. Because the wall installation is not very stable after all, and it requires drilling holes on the tile wall. The installation of the toilet is recommended not to shift it, as it may cause blockage in the later stage.
