Sink for a washing machine is a practical choice

Undoubtedly, the abundance of modern home appliancesvery much facilitates life. It is no longer necessary to manually wash clothes, knocking off knuckles and earning back pain. And then wait until all this is dry. Automation copes with the process much faster. The only bad thing is that the technique takes up quite a lot of space. Some see a way out of the situation in locating the stylalka in the kitchen. But even there is not more spacious. Therefore, it is better to consider a different solution to the problem. Many have already managed to estimate a very reasonable layout of the bathroom space, for which it is typical to hide washing machines under the sink.

Of course, the old shell will have to be abandoned. It will be necessary to purchase a special model. But as a result, you will have a pretty decent playground. In the case where every centimeter is on the account, this is a rather weighty argument "for". The sink for the washing machine must meet certain requirements. For our purposes, the "water lily" design is quite suitable.

The peculiarity of such models islocation of the drain hole. As a rule, it is in the center of the rear part under the mixer. But even if the drain is found elsewhere, the outlet will still be projected into the back of the wall adjacent to the wall. This design allows you not to worry about the possible penetration of moisture into the equipment in the event that the shell out of order.

Under the washing machine are selected and dimensions of sanitation. Its dimensions either completely coincide with the top of the machine, or slightly protrude for it about 2 centimeters.

Installation of equipment requires a certain skill. It should not be allowed that during the installation and in the future, when the sink is used for its intended purpose, water gets to your stylalka. Otherwise, the period of its operation will quickly expire. It is better to disconnect the equipment from the system during installation and remove it further. After that, the brackets are fixed at the correct height. Then the sink under the washing machine is connected to the water supply and sewerage. Now you can return the equipment to the place. Entrust installation to professional plumbers. Of course, your husband is not hopeless and himself is quite capable of coping with the change of the same tap. But the quality of installation depends on the safe operation of the devices. The failure of the machine due to the depressurization of the water supply and, as a consequence, flooding - is not the most pleasant situation in life.

People, seriously puzzled by saving space in thebathroom, prefer to buy special compact washing machines under the sink. Models are presented abound. Their difference from the usual designs in the limited load of laundry. At a time you can wash about three and a half kilograms. Loading of such units is extremely frontal, which is understandable - there is a sink from above.

Manufacturers produce two types of similar machines. The first, the height is not more than 70 centimeters, freely placed in a niche under the sink. But buying a second will require raising the washbasin a little higher (by 100 or 105 centimeters). The functions of compact models are the same as those of their full-sized counterparts.

Thus, for owners of small-sized apartments, a sink under a washing machine becomes a real chance to expand the space of the narrow bathrooms, making them more comfortable.
