Floor-standing sink in the bathroom: interior features (30 photos)
Content
The range of floor sinks is very extensive and includes products of various shapes, designs and colors. Modern plumbing performs two main functions - it is used for its intended purpose and acts as a decoration. One-piece products, which are a sink smoothly turning into a stable leg, are fashionable. Such products are completely different from traditional models, where the sink is installed on a separate stand, which fits tightly to the floor.
Along with the novelty, the floor cabinet with a sink, which is equipped with drawers and shelves, which conveniently houses household chemicals, numerous other items and personal hygiene products, is not inferior to its popularity. Given such a variety of models, buyers are faced with a difficult task of choosing plumbing.
Features of bathroom floor sinks
Due to the wide variety of models, products can be selected for a specific interior and room area. They must also satisfy all customer requests. For example, new models, presented in the form of floor-standing free-standing sinks, have rather large dimensions, which means they are not suitable for small rooms, but in spacious rooms they look elegant and harmonize with the exclusive interior design.
The modern approach to the design of the bathroom is based on bolder decisions, therefore objects that are unique and unusual in shape and design are increasingly being used. A special place is occupied by sanitary ware ceramics, with the help of which any ideas are easily realized, regardless of the style of the interior. The installation of floor-type sinks allows you to hide sewer networks and water pipes through which hot and cold water is supplied. This design feature makes the interior of the room neat and attractive. The novelty is an exclusive decoration that cannot be ignored.
Modern plumbing in the bathroom is simply unique, and some types are a real sculptural work and are designed to decorate the interior of an elite room.
Materials for the manufacture of plumbing products
Plumbing for the bathroom consists of artificial and natural materials, and which ones are specifically used, it is worth considering separately:
- Ceramics. The most common are white ceramic products, but on the modern plumbing market, models are presented in different shades, from light to dark tones.
- For the manufacture of floor-type sinks, artificial materials and, in particular, composites made from ground natural stone and resins are widely used. Such products are analogues of "wild" stones and at a price much cheaper. Products have gained popularity due to their durability. When you touch the composite surface there is no feeling of coolness.
- Plumbing made of natural stone has high strength characteristics and throughout the entire period of operation is not amenable to mechanical and chemical influences, which can lead to rapid destruction.Natural beauty can not be hidden - products attract the eye with their original colors, chic look and sophistication. The main disadvantage of natural materials is the high price.
It is considered fashionable to have a black floor sink made of composite, which harmoniously blends in with the surrounding environment, made in bright colors. Dark color is in perfect harmony with white and dominates the bright interior. Such items stand out against the general background.
Varieties of sinks in shape and installation method
Depending on the material, the shapes of the sinks, standing separately, can be very different. The most common are:
- Round floor sinks;
- Semicircular;
- Oval;
- Rectangular and square.
Less common are cone-shaped products, cut at a certain angle and complex configuration, but they are available and fit perfectly into the modern style of the room.
Corner sink
A special place in the design of the bathroom is occupied by the corner sink, which is compact in size. The filled corner makes the room more spacious and saves space in a small area. At the same time, the products are quite roomy, which is exactly what makes them maximally effective when using the smallest room, because the issue of storing detergents and household chemicals is being addressed, while everything you need is at hand.
Floor-standing washbasin cabinet
The space between the washbasin and the floor is occupied by a functional object - a pedestal that can withstand vertical loads. The floor accessory is selected according to the parameters and shape of the sink and the area of the room itself, which directly affects the number of wings (one or two), shelves and drawers. An educated “tandem” should be combined with the surroundings and other interior items.
In addition, the cabinets under the sink are assigned not only a decorative role, but also a more significant one:
- Behind them are water and sewer pipes;
- Depending on the parameters, they can simultaneously serve as a cabinet and dressing table;
- It is also a roomy storage system.
By installing an accessory under the sink, free access to communications is created in the bathroom, which allows for unhindered repair work (cleaning and replacing pipes, taps and faucets).
When buying plumbing, attention should be paid to how taps and mixers are connected. The connection method must correspond to specific operating conditions - directly into the sink, sideways (the insert is made in the cabinet) or on the wall.
Benefits
Floor-standing sinks of a monolithic design or on a pedestal (with or without legs) differ:
- Practicality and reliability;
- Ease of use and functionality;
- High aesthetic indicators and the ability to blend harmoniously into any interior;
- A wide variety of design and color solutions, shapes and parameters.
Manufacturers offer an extensive selection of plumbing, which differs in style. This is minimalism and classic, Provence and retro, oriental, country, art deco, Japanese and marine themes, so finding the best option for plumbing products is not difficult. A correctly selected accessory will please the eye, and create maximum comfort in the bathroom.
