How to choose and buy a good-looking and practical washbasin?
1、 First determine whether the wall row or the floor row
According to the decoration process, we need to determine with the construction party whether to use wall or floor drainage in the water and electricity stage, because the pipe layout is done before you install the washing table, that is, in the water and electricity stage. Therefore, our first step is to determine whether the wall row or the floor row. Once this is confirmed, you can’t easily change it. If you want to change it, you have to dig the wall and so on. The cost is quite high. We must consider it well.
Chinese families use more floor tiles, and wall tiles are more popular abroad. Next, the hall leader will talk about the difference between wall row and floor row:
1. Wall row
To put it simply, the pipe is buried in the wall, which is suitable for wall-mounted basin.
① The wall row is blocked because the drainage pipe is buried in the wall. The wash basin is beautiful after being installed.
② However, because the wall drainage will increase by two 90-degree bends, the water speed will slow down when encountering the curve, which may cause the water to flow too slowly, and the bend is easy to be blocked.
③ In case of blockage, the wall tiles will be damaged to repair the pipes. After the pipes are repaired, the tiles will have to be repaired, which is very troublesome to think about.
The hall leader thought that this is probably the reason why wall-packed washbasins are rare in China.
2. Ground row
To put it simply, the pipe is directly grounded for drainage.
① One pipe of the ground drainage goes to the bottom, so the drainage is smooth and not easy to block. And even if it is blocked, it is more convenient to repair the pipe directly than the wall row.
② It’s a little ugly that the pipe is exposed directly! But you can customize the cabinet and hide the pipe in the cabinet to make a shelter.
In addition, small partners of small family can consider wall row, which can save space relatively.
2、 Material of wash basin
After determining the wall row or floor row, we have enough time to choose the basin we want before installation, from material to style. There are some advantages and disadvantages for your reference, but it is still up to you to see which aspect you prefer.
1. Material of wash basin
Ceramic wash basin
The ceramic washbasin is the most common in the market at present, and is widely chosen by everyone. There are also many styles. There is nothing to say except practical.
The ceramic wash basin can be identified by looking at the glaze quality, the glaze finish, brightness and water absorption of the ceramic, and the quality by looking, touching and knocking.
3、 The style of wash basin
1. Pedestal basin
The hall master remembered that the pedestal basin was still very popular when I was young, and now the family bathroom is less used. The pedestal basin is small and suitable for small space, but it lacks storage space, so many toiletries have to be stored in other ways.
2. Countertop basin
The installation is simple, just make holes in the predetermined position of the table according to the installation drawing, then put the basin in the hole, and fill the gap with glass glue. When using, the water on the table will not flow down the gap, but the water splashed on the table cannot be directly smeared into the sink.
The basin under the table is convenient to use, and sundries can be directly smeared into the sink. The joint between the basin and the table is easy to accumulate stains, and cleaning is troublesome. In addition, the installation process of the basin under the platform is relatively high, and the installation is relatively troublesome.
The wall-mounted basin adopts the way of wall row, does not occupy space, and is suitable for small household, but it is best to cooperate with other storage designs. In addition, wall-mounted basins also have requirements for walls because they are “hung” on the wall. Walls made of hollow bricks, gypsum boards and density boards are not suitable for “hanging” basins.
4、 Precautions
1. Select the matching faucet.
The faucet openings of some original imported wash basins are not matched with domestic faucets. Most wash basins in China have a 4-inch tap hole model, which is matched with a medium-hole double or single tap with a distance of 4 inches between the cold and hot water handles. Some wash basins have no faucet holes, and the faucet is directly installed on the table or on the wall.
2. Installation space size If the installation space is less than 70cm, it is recommended to select columns or hanging basins. If it is larger than 70cm, there are many kinds of products to choose from.
3. Before purchasing, we should also consider the location of drainage in the home, whether a certain product will affect the opening and closing of the door, whether there is a suitable drain outlet, and whether there is a water pipe in the installation position.
4. The glass glue near the wash basin should be better as far as possible. At least it has a long service life and is not so easy to mildew!
