How to choose the bathroom furniture?
First of all, you need to understand what the furniture price includes and how this influences the appearance and exploitation durability of the furniture.
Ask the salesman:
- What kind of coating is used for the furniture? In addition, don’t forget to ask the same about the facades and the sides. Often, to reduce the cost of the furniture, the sides are covered with PVC film, which compromises the furniture durability.
- What components are used in the furniture? Is there the soft close? Of course, the European components produced by the recognized companies like Blum, Hettich etc. is better than the Chinese products. Do ask the vendors to take out the cabinet drawer for you to see the names of the components yourself (they are clearly visible).
- Straight off, think about the height at which the cold and hot water communication pipes shall be installed in the wall. Usually, it is 52-55 cm above the floor. Make sure there is nothing inhibiting the cabinet construction.
- Choose the cabinet type you would like to buy – the floor or the wall version. They differ in spaciousness and installation type, but the wall cabinet is visually “lighter”, more appealing and it is easier to clean under the wall furniture.
- Ask about the warranty duration and conditions. A long warranty period means significant limitations of use, or there may be additional conditions.
- Find out about the material the wash basin is made of. It may be either artificial (cast) stone or ceramics. Be practical and think some time ahead. Cast stone is crushed marble mixed with polyester resin. The resin contains the accelerator, and then the hardener is added. All of this is covered with 0.7-0.8 mm thick layer of white gel coat (also colored resin). In the scientific language, the resin is a mixture of oligomeric unsaturated esters with monomers, the accelerator is cobalt naphthenate, the solidifier is methyl ethyl ketone peroxide. The weakest point is the white coating abrasion test. In the everyday use conditions, it will look different from what it looks like in the store.
7. A traditional ceramic wash basin is much better. It is as good as the ceramic tile or toilet. Ceramic is at least solid and natural material. Its durability is tried and tested for thousands of years. Today, eco-friendliness is underestimated. But ceramics is an environmentally friendly material.

Installation advice
It is very important to use the services of the qualified staff installing the furniture and the mirrors. On some occasions, the furniture and the mirrors were damaged in course of installation or collapsed after the installation as a result of poor competence of the fitters.
Wash basin fastening. The fasteners are not provided because the walls where the wash basin is to be attached to are varied. Different types of walls require different fasteners.
Cabinet fastening. Follow the manual available for each cabinet. Make sure that the cabinet is tightly fastened. To ensure safe fastening, use open fastening to the wall through the spacer.
Visually, the wash basin relies on the cabinet. However, it is not really so because it is separately fastened to the wall and puts no extra load on the cabinet.
Mirror fastening. The assembly includes the special corrosion-resistant self-tapping screws. Ensure the correct markings and drill the corresponding holes. Then, connect the electricity wire and the earthing. After this, just hang the mirror on the screwed in self-tapping screws. The user manual provides the guidelines to setting the clock.
Крепление зеркала. В комплекте поставляются специальные саморезы, которые не подвержены коррозии. Сделайте качественную разметку и просверлите под них отверстия. Затем, подсоедините электрический кабель и заземление. После этого, просто навесьте зеркало на вкрученные саморезы. Способ выставления часов, указан в инструкции.
What are the installation dimensions?
Upon installation, you need to consider the largest size. The wash basin has the largest dimensions.
- Cabinet 60: 600х450х40 mm. The water mixer opening diameter is 35 mm, the foot valve opening diameter is 50 mm.

How to solve the typical problems?
One of the most common problems is the wrong outlet of water supply pipes in the wall. To be precise, the wrong height of the water supply pipe location. The correct height is 52-55 cm above the floor.
This is especially a relevant issue in case of the wall furniture. What can be done if the hot/cold water communication pipe is at the same place as the console bar?
The following has to be done:
- Saw the console bar into two equal parts.
- Spread those two bars in a way to place the wall communication pipes in the middle.
- Drill the new fastening holes in the bars.
- Mount the two bars on the walls after the marking.
- Hang the cabinet on the two bars.
- Drill the through holes in the spacer (not console) bar and additionally fasten the cabinet to the wall.
It goes without saying that the wash basin should be independently fastened.
