The plumbing industry does not stand still: on the contrary, every year it pleases consumers with various novelties in the world of sanitary ware. Especially popular nowadays are all kinds of interior solutions for owners of small-sized bathrooms in apartments. Today we will discuss the corner sinks for the bathroom, their types and installation features.
A small corner sink is an ideal option for a combined bathroom in an apartment of an old layout: this will allow for more rational use of an already small bathroom area. Also they are often installed in guest bathrooms of modern apartments and private houses. Standard dimensions of the corner sink for the bathroom are from 50 to 90 cm in diameter. They depend on your preferences and, of course, on the dimensions of the bathroom itself, because all this is done solely for your comfort. The material of manufacturing modern shells is porcelain, faience, glass, natural and artificial stone, acrylic and other polymeric materials.
Types of Corner Shells
- The simplest kind of corner shells are pendant (console). So called the shell itself, which is attached to the wall. The disadvantages of such washbasins are unaesthetic (from the shell visible pipes and plums are visible), and the advantage is quite low cost.
- The corner sink with a pedestal is the same console, only having a long leg, behind which all the plumbing communications are hidden.
- The most convenient for the consumer are the built-in corner baths for the bathroom. In the built-in furniture, you can store detergents and bathroom accessories - many more things are placed in such lockers than on ordinary suspended shelves.
How to install a corner sink in the bathroom?
If you bought a sink with a pedestal, then you know: the first thing it's assembled is it (with the help of a drill and the pins in the kit). The same goes for the built-in lockers: initially they are assembled, and then a wash is hung from the top at the right distance. It should be tightened securely with nuts, which, again, must be included in the kit. To fix an angular conch, as a rule, is not more difficult, than usual. The next stage is the installation of a mixer and siphon and their connection to the water supply and sewerage, respectively. After installing the sink, it is desirable to glue the gap between it and the wall with a plaster plaster so that water does not get into the joint.
