1. Guide for buying bathroom cabinet basins:
When choosing bathroom cabinet basins, you should pay attention: the cabinet basins are too shallow and splashed; too deep, for fear of inconvenience; only considering the practicality, it is uncomfortable to look at; the design is too fancy, it will inevitably be overwhelming. If the area of the bathroom is small, generally choose a pedestal basin. If the bathroom is large, you usually buy a basin and make your own countertops. However, it is currently more popular to directly customize the countertops or bathroom cabinets with rich customization and excellent craftsmanship from the bathroom manufacturers. Save effort. However, manufacturers generally use wall drainage when designing bathroom cabinets or countertops to improve the taste and value of the product. Therefore, it is best to buy before the bathroom wall treatment, so as to refit the water, reserve a good pipeline for the product installation Prepare to avoid rework or failure to install favorite products. Moreover, such products often have a certain order period, and they need to be ordered in advance in order to not delay the construction period.
For ceramic expensive cabinet basins, consumers should pay attention to the quality of the glazed surface, because a good glazed surface is not dirty, the surface is easy to clean, and it is still bright as new after long-term use. When choosing, you can look at the light from multiple angles from the side of the ceramic. A good glaze should be free of stains, pinholes, blisters and bubbles, and the surface should be very smooth.
Water absorption is an important indicator of ceramic basins. Generally speaking, ceramic products have a certain ability to absorb and penetrate water. The lower the water absorption, the better. Because after water is sucked into the ceramic, the ceramic will expand to a certain extent, and the glaze on the ceramic surface is likely to be cracked due to swelling, and it is easy to absorb the dirt and odor in the water into the ceramic. Over time, it will produce an unremovable odor. According to national regulations, sanitary ceramics with a water absorption rate of less than 3% are high-grade ceramics.
For glass basins, it is recommended that if economic conditions permit, it is best to choose a product with a wall thickness of 9mm, because it can withstand a relatively high temperature of 80°C, and has good impact resistance and damage resistance. As the cost of glass basins is relatively high from process to design, the price is relatively expensive. Consumers should shop around when choosing the same product, but they should also consider the strength and reputation of the manufacturer.
In addition, according to the actual conditions of the bathroom and personal preferences, there are several ways to choose a washbasin:
1. Above counter basin: It is easy to install and can place items on the marble countertop.
2. Under-counter basin: easy to clean, high-grade, and can be placed on the marble countertop. The under-counter basin has relatively high installation requirements, and the size of the reserved position on the countertop must match the size of the basin, otherwise the appearance will be affected after installation.
3. Pedestal Basin: It has the characteristics of the same color of the basin and the column, does not occupy space, is simple to install, easy to clean, and has good ventilation performance.
4. Hanging basin: The style is simple and its characteristics are similar to the pedestal basin, which is suitable for wall-mounted drainage system.
2. Precautions for purchasing basin:
1. The length of the countertop of the basin must be greater than 75 cm, and the width must be greater than 50 cm. Regardless of safety and visual considerations, the effect is better.
2. The semi-inlaid basin does not occupy too much sanitary space, but the linear distance between the outer edge of the countertop of the installed basin and the opposite side should not be less than 70 cm.
3. The undercounter basin is cheap and easy to clean, but it is inconvenient for installation and maintenance. The bottom must be installed with a support frame and fixed to the wall, and the disassembly and assembly are complicated.
4. The wall of the hanging basin must be a load-bearing wall, otherwise the wall thickness must be more than 10 cm.
5. When choosing a ceramic basin, you should observe the reflection of the surface under strong light, so that some small blisters and blemishes will be visible.
6. The hand feel should be smooth and delicate.
7. In terms of price, basins below 500 yuan are middle and low-end products. This kind of basin is economical and affordable, but the color and shape change little. Most of them are made of white ceramics, mainly oval and semicircular. Ceramic wash basins ranging from RMB 1,000 to RMB 5,000 are high-end products. Products at this price range are exquisite in workmanship, and some have matching towel racks, tooth bowls and soap dishes, and the humanized design is in place.
8. According to the installation requirements of the main products, some basins should be fixed to the wall. Use expansion bolts in the wall to fix the basin. If there are many pipelines in the wall, it is not suitable to use this type of basin.
9. In addition, you should also check the safety of the main accessories such as the basin drain, the water pipe on the basin faucet and the angle valve.
