Mount type

Suspended. Washbasins designed to be fixed to the wall. These models take up a minimum of space, but are quite difficult to install, because they require the installation on the wall of the corresponding attachments. It is very difficult to install. In addition, in most hanging washbasins, drain pipes (and sometimes eyeliner) often remain visible, which is not very aesthetic. You have to either put up with this, or go to certain devices (for example, independently build a bedside table to cover the pipes). At the same time, there are varieties devoid of this defect. These models are equipped either with a half pedestal (cf. «Complete»), or a full pedestal for installation on the floor. However, in the latter case still require a wall mount for stability, and therefore they are not attributed to the following floor.

Vessel on stand. Washbasins designed for installation on a specially adapted pedestal. Somewhat easier to install than hanging ones, as they do not require brackets or other attachments - it is enough to put the sink on the cabinet and bring communication. In addition, drain and other pipes during installation are hidden in the cabinet, which provides a neat appearance, and the cabinet itself can play the role of locker. On the other hand, the need to search and select the cabinets creates additional hassle, such washbasins take more space than the hangin...g, and features of the design somewhat limit the variety of forms.

Vessel on tabletop. Type of overhead washbasins designed for installation on the countertop. In many ways similar to the overhead models designed for cabinets (see above), but much easier to install: in this case, no specialized pedestal is required, any horizontal surface with a hole under the drain is suitable. This makes it much easier to choose a stand for this type of washstand, and they can have almost any shape.

Mortise in tabletop. Washbasins designed for integration into a flat surface. They look quite elegant and take up a little space, in addition leave the user with the option: the sink can be built into the top surface of a special cabinet, and in the simplest shelf. In the first case, you can hide inside the communication, and the second option provides maximum free space. At the same time, this type requires both a suitable surface (cabinet or shelf) and a hole in it in the shape of a shell - with a certain skill it is possible to make it yourself, but it is better to contact a specialist.

Mortise under tabletop. A variety of mortise washbasins (see above), in which the upper edge of the sink during installation is located not above, but below the countertop. This moment does not play a special role (except that it is somewhat easier to clean up water spilled on the countertop — it is enough to “drive” it with a rag to the edge of the sink), in terms of its main features, this variety is completely similar to the previous one.

On washing machine. Washbasins designed to be fitted with a washing machine under the sink. This option is convenient primarily because it allows you to optimally use the space in the room. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that modern «washers» can differ markedly in size, and before buying it will not hurt to clarify the compatibility of the washbasin with a particular machine; and if the machine has a vertical load, this option is not applicable at all. The nuances of the installation in different models of such washbasins may differ, but most often the sink is attached to the wall, and the washing machine is supported only partially (although the role of the main support is still played by the «washer»).

— Floor. In full accordance with the name of such washbasins are integral structures of bowls and cabinets designed for installation on the floor. Their main difference from the suspended models with a bedside table (see above) is that they are able to stand steadily on a flat floor without any additional attachments. Due to this, the floor model can be, metaphorically speaking, installed even in the middle of the bath (the main thing - to deal with the supply of pipes). Accordingly, this type is the easiest to install. However, the floor models are quite expensive.

There are washbasins designed for several installation options - for example, models with the possibility of applying both to the stand and to the table top.

Shape

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.

Country of origin

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.
