Which bathroom is a double sink best suited for?
A double sink is becoming increasingly popular. It complements the aesthetics of the interior, but also saves time during the morning toilet. A double sink in one bathroom means that two people can easily get ready for work, e.g. apply makeup, style their hair. Of course, double sinks are perfect when you have a larger family. They are undoubtedly very convenient. You gain additional space for shaving or care cosmetics. You also have more space when brushing your teeth. Therefore, this solution works best in medium or larger bathrooms.
It allows more people to use the washbasin space. At the same time, in addition to gaining more personal space, you can also prepare a women's and men's zone. Thanks to this, all cosmetics will always be at hand. But should people whose bathroom has a small cubic capacity decide on a double washbasin? Contrary to appearances, even in a bathroom with a small space, such a washbasin will work perfectly. All you need to do is build up the space under the washbasin and choose the right countertop. A double washbasin is also a good choice in modern bathrooms, because it fits into the high-tech style.
What material should a double sink be made of?
When choosing a double sink, you should pay attention to the material it is made of. It is also good if it is easy to keep clean. It should also be scratch-resistant. Granite is a good material for double sinks. It is resistant to mechanical damage, looks beautiful, and thanks to the use of a mixture of quartz sand and resin, it is also resistant to discoloration and thermal shock, so low and high temperatures do not damage the material.
It is undoubtedly worth noting that models made of this material are available in many different colors. You can choose those in black, gray or even brown. Therefore, granite sinks are not only durable, but also very stylish. Of course, ceramics are also a very good material. It is worth knowing that it is resistant to moisture, as well as the effects of detergents and even scratches. It is undoubtedly easy to keep it clean, and the price is very favorable, which is also a big advantage. Ceramic sinks are not as resistant to mechanical damage, so the material may crumble, e.g. when a heavy object is dropped.
On the other hand, they are also cheap, so they can be replaced if necessary. In addition, it is really rare for such a sink to be damaged, for example by dropping a bottle of perfume. There is also a sink made of conglomerate, i.e. synthetic resins or natural stone. It is resistant to damage, but not very resistant to scratches.

How to choose a countertop for a double sink?
A single-sink is a good solution in places where there is little usable space. On the other hand, a double sink is best placed in larger rooms. Of course, when choosing, you should pay attention not only to the ease of cleaning or assembly, but also to the right countertop. Here, too, there are various materials to choose from. The choice depends on the budget, but also on the style of the arrangement. A foil-coated or varnished countertop, which is covered with a waterproof layer of varnish or foil, is undoubtedly worth attention. Thanks to this, it does not delaminate under the influence of moisture.
A very cheap solution is a concrete countertop covered with ceramic tiles or stoneware. It can also be made of plasterboard. This is a relatively cheap solution. Of course, you can also choose a conglomerate countertop, which is highly resistant to mechanical damage and scratches, and is also easy to keep clean. Contrary to appearances, wood can also work well in the bathroom, but here you also need to choose one that is protected against rot.
How much space does a double sink need in a bathroom?
The space for a double sink does not have to be very large, but it cannot be very small either. You need to know that two sinks placed next to each other require a minimum of 140 cm. In addition, there is a countertop. Therefore, the total surface should be about 210 cm. But that is still not all, because the distance between the sinks is also important. It is best to keep a distance of 20-30 cm.
The distance between the sinks can also be 10 cm, which will save some usable space in your bathroom. A double sink also consists of an element such as an elongated basin. You still need to choose the right faucet so that the aesthetics are consistent. One part can serve parents, while the other can be used by children.
With a double washbasin, washbasin cabinets go well, which are also available in many different versions and can be adapted to the space. You should also choose the right frame, which makes it easier to mount the fittings. A washbasin frame also ensures greater safety of use. It also allows you to hide the siphon.
When is two separate sinks a better solution?
In large bathrooms, two separate sinks work very well. Mounting them on the countertop is also not difficult. Of course, both the countertop and the sinks can be attached to the wall. You don't have to choose countertop models at all. The choice of sinks is really wide, so you can match them to the style of the interior. If you have a large family and one bathroom, then this solution will really be right for you.
