Types of sinks by type of installation

A corner sink in the interior of a kitchen or bathroom can look completely different. This largely depends on how the structure was built into part of the working area:

• Built-in sinks of the mortise type (the design, as it were, is buried in the monolith of the countertop);
• An overhead-type corner hanging sink (with the help of small sides, the entire structure is held on the countertop);
• Undermount models (such sinks are slightly smaller than the previous options, installed using special latches under the countertop).

Regardless of the type of installation, rounded mini-sinks are most often preferred. When choosing a sink, it is necessary to take into account how many dishes will be washed in it, how often, what other manipulations they may carry out.

Sinks from different materials advantages and disadvantages

The main positive and negative qualities deserve special attention.

One of the most common types of material is ceramics. They can be:

• faience;
• porcelain.

The second option is waterproof. They are quite attractive and have a long service life.

Another option is a stone sink. The main disadvantage is the high cost and problematic in terms of installation, since they have a relatively large weight.

There are also glass sinks. They give the feeling of a complete lack of washing. May have built-in lighting.

Depending on the texture, shells are distinguished:

• smooth;
• corrugated;
• matte;
• transparent.

Some models may have an ornament or a simple pattern.

Metal for manufacturing can be used very different:

• brass;
• stainless steel;
• bronze;
• nickel;
• copper.

As for the corner sinks made of polymeric materials, they also have some significant features, for example, the duration of use, various color options, and resistance to external influences.

So that the material does not deform from exposure to the aquatic environment. It must be processed through special impregnations.

Typical mistakes when installing sinks

In case of violation of the fastening rules, quite unpleasant consequences can occur, which can significantly reduce the service life. The most common violations are:

• the formation of gaps;
• slope to one side;
• instability;
• water or sewer leaks.

Do not forget about some "tricky" details.

For example, light shades can visually enlarge the space, and this effect can be enhanced by the use of mirrors.

For a large family, a double corner sink is perfect, giving a unique opportunity to carry out water procedures for two people at once.

The difference in the method of installation

Before choosing a sink, you need to decide how the product will be mounted. There are three types of kitchen sinks that differ in how they are installed.

1. Overhead sinks. They are put on a curbstone fitted to the size of the product. Nowadays it is used less and less.

2. Mortise sinks. Mounted on a table top. To do this, a hole corresponding to the size of the bowl is pre-cut in it. As a rule, sinks of this type are equipped with a template, according to which a hole will be made.

3. Undermount sinks. Installed by the integrated method. The most difficult installation method. It is almost impossible to independently carry out the installation. The sink is installed flush with the countertop, and sometimes under it with the help of special fasteners.

The most common are mortise sinks. Overheads are used only in ready-made kitchen sets, and installing under-counter ones is a rather painstaking work.

Advantages and disadvantages of a corner kitchen sink

A great way to save space is to install a sink in one of the corner areas of the kitchen. In the process, it is fashionable to select sufficiently dimensional countertops, the lower part is organized in the form of additional drawers or shelves for storing kitchen appliances.

An L-shaped set with a sink in the corner is quite common in typical apartments.

This planning solution allows you to create a comfortable work area and leave room for a dining table.

When choosing a corner sink for the kitchen, you need to pay attention to the following:

• size and availability of accommodation;
• product depth;
• number of departments;
• material of manufacture;
• desired shape;
• color orientations.

In general, the main advantage of this choice is convenience and comfort. Picking up a design is not difficult, as the market is literally crowded.

In a small kitchen, the corner should be used as efficiently as possible.

Advantages of corner kitchen sinks:

• practical use of the entire space;
• placement of new elements is available;
• open access to any part of the kitchen (appliances, furniture, etc.).

Corner sink does not take up as much space as is usually required to accommodate a traditional rectangular model

Disadvantages of a corner sink in a small kitchen with a photo:

• Complex design. Careful surface preparation and installation considerations are required.
• The corner is inconvenient for family members. It is recommended to install a modular set with the sink placed against the wall and opening space for drawers, etc.
• The formation of a dead zone above the sink. To correct the situation, the purchase of the device together with the pedestal and thinking over the hinged elements helps.

A wide range of manufactured models allows you to choose the right version of the corner sink

How to install a corner bathroom sink

corner sink assembly diagram

Installation of a corner bathroom sink is the same as any other, and the installation method depends directly on the design of the sink. So, as there are three types of corner sink designs, namely: hanging corner sink, corner sink with pedestal, corner sink with cabinet.

Installing a wall-hung corner sink

In order to install a hanging corner sink, you must:

• drill (up to 12 millimeters);
• drill;
• hammer;
• self-tapping screws
• marker or construction pencil.

First of all, it is necessary to designate the place of attachment of the corner sink.To do this, you need to determine the angle where the sink will be installed and the height of its attachment. The sink mounting angle is determined individually, but it is desirable that it be as close as possible to the drain pipe, and the mounting height is recommended from 87 to 91 centimeters from the floor.

hanging corner sink and vanity

In the kit, along with the corner sink, there should be a “holder” (an iron bar is similar to a triangle and an “L” shaped structure). This "holder" must be leaned against the corner of the sink at the selected height. After that, using a marker or a construction pencil, the attachment points on the wall are indicated (it is necessary to know where to drill the wall).

Having outlined the drilling points, using a drill and a drill on the tile, at low speeds, it is necessary to make holes at the marked points. After the holes are made, dowels need to be hammered into them with a hammer. Having hammered in all the dowels, we again lean the “holder” against the wall and align its holes with the holes in the wall. After making sure that the holes match, we fasten the “holder” to the wall using self-tapping screws. They can be screwed into dowels with a screwdriver or the same drill, but with a nozzle for self-tapping screws.

Having thus attached the main element that will hold the corner sink, with the help of fasteners (they may vary), we attach the sink to the “holder” (iron triangle). After making sure that the corner sink does not stagger and is securely fixed, you can connect an elbow, a faucet, water supply for the faucet to it.

Installation of a corner sink with a pedestal

Installing a washbasin of this design is almost identical to installing a wall-hung corner washbasin. The only difference is that after the sink is attached and all communications are connected, a pedestal is installed under the sink, hiding all the hoses and pipes in it.

Installation of a corner sink with a cabinet. In this case, you must first assemble the cabinet itself, hide all communications and pipes in it, and then install the sink using the included fasteners. The only thing is that you have to drill more holes in the wall in order to securely fix the cabinet.

Corner sink advantages and disadvantages

When installing furniture and equipment in every kitchen, the main goal is to expand the usable area. This means that when installing this or that household appliance, furniture or decorative elements, they do it as compactly as possible, leaving the work surface free. One of the ways to free up a few cherished centimeters in a small kitchen can be to install a corner sink.

Installation of a corner sink will significantly expand the working area

A wide selection of kitchen sinks, different in appearance, functionality and durability, will allow you to choose a model for every taste. They differ not only in design solutions, but also in the installation method, the number of cameras and the material of the product.

When choosing a corner sink, first of all, you need to decide on the shape and number of chambers. The main advantages of such sinks are:

1. Ergonomics of the kitchen space.
2. Increased space under the sink.
3. Variety of shapes and sizes.
4. The convenience of use.
5. Possibility of installing large corner cupboards for dishes.

Corner sinks come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors

The disadvantage of a corner sink can only be the wrong choice of a product or additional accessories for it.

Ways to install corner sinks

According to the installation method, corner kitchen sinks are divided into the following groups:

• overhead. To install a surface-mounted sink, no special skills and abilities are required. The product is simply placed on top of a corner pedestal of the appropriate size and fixed using the fasteners included in the kit. In this option, the corner element of the countertop is not needed, the sink is installed directly on the furniture;

• mortise.The most common way to install kitchen sinks. A hole is cut out in the countertop according to the template (attached to the sink), then the sink is inserted into it and fixed from below with special fasteners to the edges of the countertop. All cuts are carefully treated with sealant or varnish;

• integrable. With this method, the sink is mounted under the countertop. At home, it is extremely difficult to perform such work, since special equipment is required. Bonding and installation of such sinks are carried out in production.

Dimensions of corner sinks

All sanitary ware designed for washing dishes vary in size, which depends on their shape, the number of bowls and the presence of additional surfaces. In addition to the overall size, they differ in the depth of the bowl itself. In the presence of a shallow sink, it is more difficult to wash large-sized dishes, splashes of water, as a rule, scatter on the surface of the surrounding walls and the table. Bowls with a large depth are inconvenient to use for children and people with short stature. In this case, it is quite difficult to reach the bottom of the sink. The most acceptable is a depth of 20 centimeters.

The most common sizes of stainless steel corner kitchen sinks, which are round or oval, range from 40 to 50 cm. Rectangular corner sanitary ware is made mainly with a width of 40 cm and a length of 50 cm or 80 cm. With a width of 50 cm, a length of 80 cm is used, 100 cm or 125 cm. Square sinks have dimensions of 40x40 cm, 50x50 cm, 60x60 cm.

For spacious rooms, it is advisable to choose products with more than one bowl. They are much more practical to use, and for a large family this is an ideal solution.
