Sink measurements with a vanity unit in the bathroom: standards, how to choose

When choosing a sink for installation in a bathroom, many are inclined to buy that implies installation in a cabinet or on its surface. This choice is justified by the fact that a small cabinet in such a small room will definitely please with its functionality. But how to choose a model that really fits into the dimensions and allows you to keep all the necessary things close at hand?

Standards for the sizes of vanities with a washbasin in the bathroom

The bulk of the pedestals sold today are designed for the average person. Therefore, most often in stores there are products with the following dimensions:

• width - from 50 to 60 cm;
• height - from 85 to 93 cm;
• the depth of the sink is from 48 to 61 cm.

Of course, all models are not limited to such parameters, but nevertheless, it is these structures that are most often installed in ordinary multi-storey buildings.

There are also "deviations from the rules." However, it is known that sinks of smaller width are definitely not suitable for placement in the bathroom, and even so a miniature cabinet is unlikely to hold at least half of the bottles with shampoos and shower gels of an ordinary family of 2-3 Human. In such not very convenient devices, you can only wash your hands, and therefore you can install them only in a separate bathroom.

Products that are large in size will be desirable in every apartment. But here, too, there are conditions: before installation, you should make sure that the enlarged form of the cabinet with a huge sink will not stand out unnecessarily in the general view of the room. If the room does not allow you to roam with the massiveness of the devices used, then it is better to abandon such an idea.

Reference! Alternatively, for convenience, you can additionally hang another cabinet on the wall - so you can definitely arrange all your favorite products on the shelves.

Special dimensions of pedestals

If for the implementation of your plans you need models that go beyond the standard size range, then you can always contact the masters who are engaged in the execution of individual orders.

The smallest available width is usually limited to 30-40 cm. Moreover, most often such tiny products are angular. Thanks to this shape, they can be placed even in the smallest room, while taking up only unnecessary space. However, there will be few shelves in such a cabinet, most likely, they will even be absent altogether. However, all unnecessary details, such as pipes or a siphon, will be reliably hidden from view, which means that the room itself will look neater.

If we talk about increased proportions, then, most likely, it is 80-100 cm. Of course, such specimens are suitable only as an addition to spacious bathrooms. By the way, two sinks for the convenience of all family members can perfectly fit on meter-long (and more) pedestals. The functionality of such models will also please you very well: in addition to other hygiene products, you can install a basket for dirty linen here.

The suitable height can also be selected according to individual measurements. The above standard value is calculated on a very average basis. After conducting a number of studies, it became known that for men it would be better to place the sink 90–105 cm from the floor, and for women, another option would be suitable - 80–85 cm.

Therefore, if funds and the area of ​​the room allow, it would be better to install two separate cabinets. By the way, especially for children, such subtleties should not be counted, otherwise you will have to make repairs too often. Children usually buy special coasters or small chairs.

How to choose a cabinet with a sink in size

The fact that before going to the store you need to first measure the parameters of the room is probably not worth talking about. But still, in addition to this obvious fact, it is necessary to include small gaps between all components in the plan for placing furniture and plumbing fixtures. This is done so that every detail of the interior can be easily approached and used with convenience.

Specifically for pedestals, there is one more additional nuance: it is important to correctly calculate in which direction the doors will open, and whether their handles will rub against other objects. If the size of the room does not allow the use of ordinary vertical sashes without contact, for example, with a toilet or shower, it is better to take a closer look at models with retractable horizontal shelves. It is also important to decide from the very beginning how many doors are planned for the cabinet itself.

Renovating and buying furniture is always a particularly difficult stage. However, if you do everything right and take into account the possible little things, then soon your purchases will bring simplicity and comfort to the usual household way, therefore we wish you successful decisions and pleasant purchases!
