How to choose a sink on the washing machine
There are lots of individual things you should consider when choosing a vanity design above the washing machine. We will study all the detail in this section.
In material manufacturing
If you purchase a model sink for the bathroom (which is often done), you should pay attention to plastic, porcelain and marble products. For example, plastic sink is easy to mount, and the porcelain would be resistant to chemicals (detergents).
Qualitative models have more additional towel racks
Cast marble - it is more expensive construction. It requires careful installation, however, it looks elegant and suitable for any interior room. On sale you can find models of special concrete composition, but they are not well established in the operation, as they are considered impractical and too heavy.

In size, shape and presence of the wing
Dimensions must match the sink washing machine casing. For example, for narrow washing machines with parameters suitable shell 50 × 60 cm. For models with a body width of 50 cm, the best option Washbasin size 60 × 60 cm.
For bathrooms in apartments most often used uzkogabaritnye models of washing machines, so the design washbasins with sides of 50 × 60 cm is considered to be the most popular among the rest.
The tiny sink can be installed with siphon valves
shell form in the bathroom is not the last value. Since this parameter is important to design the room in harmony with his attributes. In recent years, the apartment owners refuse to buy the traditional rectangular washbasins model. They are not very compact and practical. Often, the presence of these angles is the cause of injury in children.
Where the great demand for the construction of the oval type. They have a streamlined shape, they are often equipped with additional wings with niches in the form of shelves or drawers. Variants with tabletops and Mortise sink will be very convenient for small space bathroom, where to install additional headsets can only be to the detriment of the useful space.
Not all sinks are installed close to home appliances
In-stock mixer hole
New models of shells, which are installed under the washing machine, do not have holes for the mixer, it is quite inconvenient at first glance. However, many owners are very quickly become accustomed to the nuances. If in the sink hole is provided for the crane, they can be arranged as in a corner, and in the middle of the structure. In such cases, it is important to consider the setting of the mixer so that the tubes enough to cold and hot line with a margin.
On discharge location, siphon and overflow
Installation with additional wings allow more efficient use of wash basin
safety of the structure lies in the correct location of the drain. Distinguished only two ways: the side and above the machine. The first option is the most optimal, since the risk of moisture penetration in the art housing decreases. When draining device is located above the appliances, there is a possibility of short circuit, because of what the operation panel can be damaged. Mounting a flat horizontal siphon under the sink, it is recommended to use a high-quality sealant.
Overflow is typically located within the mixing zone or below it. Such designs are very comfortable, so to avoid a flood in the bathroom easily.
