Pursuing the interior of the bathroom, it is necessary to pay equal attention to both the outside of the furnishings and their "filling." Still, the atmosphere prevailing in this room is not the most harmless. A lot of aggressive factors (humidity, water, temperature changes, household chemicals) constantly affect bathroom furniture. The countertop is no exception. Contact with toothpaste falls to her share. On the surface is often water or various cosmetics. Sometimes, hair dye accidentally caught may also be found there.
Based on all the difficulties this interior item faces, it is necessary to select high-quality samples that can "save face" under any circumstances.
The countertop in the bathroom can be made of a variety of materials. There are even wooden surfaces. They look, of course, amazing. But here special wood processing is required so that the latter does not suffer much from moisture.
But most often the table top for the bathroom is made of stone. Dear models are made from natural, natural raw materials. Granite provides the product with increased strength. Marble attracts with its unique pattern and exquisite color shades. Quartz and onyx surfaces look no less worthy.
Consumers are not deterred by the high price of the samples offered for sale. She is quite justified. In addition, these products will last their owner for more than one year. And it’s easy to take care of them. In most cases, you only need to walk on the stone with a napkin, erasing moisture. Chemical detergents can be used without fear. Only those that contain abrasive substances are not recommended. Serious damage to the countertop in the bathroom of this category can suffer from color dye falling on it. This is explained by the natural porosity of the material, which, like a sponge, absorbs paint. Getting rid of such a stain on the reputation in the future is not easy.
The mentioned drawback is deprived of artificial stone products. Its dense structure guarantees high indestructibility of the product surface. Externally, the countertop to the bathroom from such raw materials is almost indistinguishable from samples made of natural stone. But its cost is slightly lower.
Glass models with poured sinks adapt well to aggressive, humid environments. They are not afraid to come into contact with chemicals, they do not care about splashing water. The only thing to keep in mind when buying such a product is the fragility of the material. Of course, the countertop in the bathroom is made of special glass, but even it is several times inferior in strength to stone. Therefore, we treat the surface more carefully. Mistresses may still not like the need to periodically get rid of stains that remain on the surface after drying of moisture. If this is not done, then the glass countertop very quickly takes on a sloppy appearance.
Whatever model you choose, strictly follow the prescribed care recommendations so that this piece of furniture maintains a "fresh" appearance for many years.
