The shape of the basin bowl. In most cases, the shape of the bowl does not affect the possibilities of the washbasin and is selected based on the installation features. For example, when mounting the table top (see above), the only limitation is the design of the bathroom and personal preferences of the buyer; when installing on the cabinet, you must also take into account the shape of the cabinet; hanging models inevitably have a flat back wall for wall mounting, etc.
In a separate variety can be distinguished
corner washbasins: This shape is designed for small rooms where you have to save as much space as possible. If savings are not critical, it makes sense to look at other options.
Position of the bowl (sink) relative to the body of the washbasin.
—
Centre. The most simple and optimal configuration, centered on the wide side of the shell. It is found in the vast majority of modern models of washbasins.
—
Right. Positioning the bowl on the right will be by the way in non-standard conditions of installation of the washbasin. Such models are most often installed on corner cabinets, which are located in the left corner of the room. They can also be installed independently - under the wing of some washbasins with an offset bowl can be placed, for example, a washing machine.
—
Left. Mirror version of the «right» bowl, placed on the left hand relative to the basin body. Plays practical value in non-standard conditions or acts as a design element of the bathroom.
— Left / right. In some washbasins, the manufacturer or store does not specify the exact placement of the bowl in the model name. The side of the sink must be specified at the stage of agreement with the seller of the goods, so that the purchase of a suitable washbasin was without surprises.
There are many national stereotypes: many users find certain countries more attractive than others. However, nowadays these stereotypes are practically unfounded. Firstly, in the country of origin of the brand, often only the headquarters of the manufacturer is located, and the production may be located in another state. Secondly, the origin of a certain country is not yet a guarantee of quality: it all depends on how carefully a particular manufacturer controls its products. Therefore, to assess the quality, it is worth focusing not on “nationality”, but first of all on the reputation of a particular brand and the price category of the product. Among the countries represented are the following:
Belgium,
Germany,
India,
Spain,
Italy,
Poland,
Portugal,
Slovenia,
USA,
Turkey,
France,
Czech Republic,
Switzerland,
Sweden,
Japan.
