Today, a huge number of designers come up with more and more stylish solutions for bathrooms. New designs for bathtubs, showers, and, of course, sinks are being created. Thus, the tulip shells, famous and popular all over the world, were created.
A little about the tulip shell
Nowadays, sinks "tulips" can rightfully be considered the most common type of sanitary ware. This type appeared in stores back in the 90s of the last century. However, at that time such products were not popular. It is worth noting that the name of this type of shell is fully consistent with its shape. Tulip sinks have a distinctive feature that makes this plumbing fixture not only stylish and functional, but also convenient and practical. This feature is that you can attach a pedestal to it. It is worth noting that the pedestal in most cases plays a practical role - it supports the cup itself. However, today there are such models of pedestals, the purpose of which is only to decorate the sanitary ware. That is, in this case, the pedestal is intended only to ensure that the sink has a beautiful and finished look, as well as to hide all communications.
In this situation, the bowl of the sink is simply attached with special screws to the wall.
Now there are 2 varieties of pedestals for the sink "tulip": those that are attached to the floor, and those that are mounted on the wall. It will be useful to note that products that are mounted on the floor are much more common.
Features of Tulips
Today, plumbing stores provide customers with the opportunity to purchase tulip sinks in a wide variety of sizes and colors. It is in this regard that you can not worry about the fact that the plumbing you have chosen does not fit the design of the bathroom. I would like to mention that the “tulip” sink, the sizes of which can vary from very small to very large, is not only a stylish, but also a durable product, which, if installed correctly, will not only last a long time, but also serve benignly.
It is worth noting immediately that installing a “tulip” sink is a process that, if you have certain skills and a bit of accuracy, will not take you much time. First of all, you need to make holes in the wall of suitable diameter for the brackets, on which the bowl itself will be mounted.
Holes are best done with a punch, so you will not damage the surface of the wall. However, this operation can also be done with a drill. Next, you need to install a
siphon for the sink, and only after that you can attach the bowl to the wall. Having connected all the pipes and the mixer with the bowl, you can proceed with the installation of the pedestal, which is attached to the floor with dowels. Install the pedestal carefully so as not to damage or displace communications. After installing the sink, be sure to check the product for leaks.
