Width of washbasin countertop and other related knowledge

The sink is something we often use, so for our daily life, the sink is a more important place, we must understand it.

The size of the sink and the width of the countertop

The size of the sink has the smallest control, the minimum width is 550mm, In order to save space, the 600mm set bathroom has reduced the sink to about 300mm, but even if this is done, it is impossible for the sink to be only 300mm wide. The sink must be prominent, which makes it inconvenient to place things. The other key is to leave a clearance of 550mm from the center of the washbasin to the walls on both sides, that is to say, there must be a clearance of 1100 to put your countertop, otherwise it is lame to use, so you can integrate everyone’s opinions. . In order to be more economical, some people don’t even need a washbasin, so they need a floor-to-ceiling washbasin, just put a soap or something.

However, one of the more commonly used sizes is the undercounter basin: countertop 850mm, and above counter basin: countertop 750mm. This size is the standard size for bathroom sink installation, but we can look at it according to our actual situation. If the average height of the people in the family is relatively high, then of course the design should be higher. If the average height of the family is not very high, then it is recommended to install the bathroom sink lower.

Maintenance of stone sinks

Granite: Granite is a very durable and elastic stone. For regular cleaning, you can use a soapy nylon brush to scrub in a circular path, and then rinse thoroughly. Regular cleaning will help prevent water stains from hardening. If you want to get rid of stubborn stains, you can try non-abrasive cleaners such as dish soap, bleach, etc. Be sure to avoid using strong alkalis such as ammonia and drain the water to prevent chemicals from entering the sink with the water. If you encounter rust problems caused by iron ions contained in water, cookware, etc., you can use a detergent containing oxalic acid to remove it. Do not use bleach directly on the granite.

Marble: Marble has an elegant luster. Because the stone has pores, it is difficult to maintain the luster of the marble. Sealing helps prevent the stone from absorbing liquid, but acidic liquids such as orange juice, lemon, soda, various foods, and common household cleaners can corrode the stone. For this reason, do not use acid cleaners on marble. Wet glass with a trace of acidic liquid can cause stubborn water stains. To avoid water stains, rinse and dry the sink after each use. The only way to remove corrosion and water stains is to ask professionals to re-grind and re-polish. For routine care, you can use soft, bleach-containing liquid detergents or ordinary household detergents.
