Choosing the right depth for your sink cabinet
Before buying your dream cabinet, it is essential to pay attention to the parameters. Although for most people the most important thing is the design, so that the furniture fits the interior design, parameters such as the height, width or depth of the sink cabinet are also important, so that everything fits together perfectly.
Both the sink model and the size of the bathroom are important in the decision-making process. Sink cabinets come in two versions, as hanging and standing models. Hanging models are attached to the wall to make the whole thing stable. Thanks to this, the space between the wall, cabinet and countertop is optimally used.
Under-sink cabinets are available in various versions. In the case of height, it is usually 70 or 80 cm, but modern models can be equipped with special adjustable legs, which makes them more universal. On the other hand, the height of hanging models is usually 40 cm. In the case of width, much depends on individual preferences and the size of the room. Bathroom furniture manufacturers, meeting the expectations and needs of customers, prepare solutions with a width of 60, 80, 100 or 120 cm - in the case of standard solutions. The 80 under-sink cabinet is one of the standard, often chosen variants.
The depth of the washbasin cabinets can be 265 mm, 462 mm, 470 mm, 502 mm, 510 mm or 550 mm. When choosing a cabinet, first of all, match it to the size and variant of the washbasin you have and the size of the room. If the bathroom is not large, models with a depth that closely matches the outline of the washbasin will work much better. When there is more space, you can choose a deeper model, thus providing yourself with space on the countertop, e.g. for cosmetics.
At what height should the sink cabinet be mounted?
The height of the cabinet depends on several factors. The key issue is of course the correct installation, which makes it easier for each household member to use it comfortably. The location of the water installation elements and the drain is also an important issue. Too much space between the tap and the sink will cause water to splash, for example. The whole thing must therefore be properly thought out and designed.
It is assumed that the standard height of the washbasin installation is around 80-90 cm, however, in the case of taller people, there is no problem to install the whole thing at 95-100 cm. The height is determined based on the distance from the floor to the upper edge of the washbasin. As a rule, the adopted standard of 80-90 cm allows for comfort for people up to 190 cm tall.
How to choose a sink cabinet for a small bathroom?
A cabinet under the sink will also work perfectly in small bathrooms, where every fragment of the surface must be properly thought out and designed. In smaller rooms, standing bathroom cabinets that fill the entire space between the sink and the floor will work perfectly.
Another big advantage is the larger storage space, most often for cleaning products. In small bathrooms, a hanging cabinet can also be a good solution, but only if its size is adjusted to the needs of the room. Too large will result in lower functionality of the bathroom. A bathroom cabinet is a perfect solution for installing a countertop washbasin, which enjoys unwavering popularity and is often used in modern trends and designs.
In smaller rooms, smallerunder-sink cabinets , such as a 50 cm under-sink cabinet or a 60 cm under-sink cabinet , may work better. Where space is limited, not only classic cabinets will work well, but also models with drawers. The drawer is ideal for storing towels, among other things. The dimensions of the cabinets and drawers can be individually adjusted to the needs of users. Which cabinet will work best? It is worth approaching its selection individually, apart from the technical aspect and dimensions. It is worth considering what things will be stored in the cabinet? Will drawers or doors be more necessary, behind which, using shelves, you can hide, among other things, cleaning products and other necessary bathroom accessories.
