The bathroom and kitchen are constantly lined with a variety of items. Here are plastic packaging with detergents and cleaners, tubes with creams, shampoos, shower gels, brushes, glasses and other trifles needed in the household. So that all this does not clutter up the space of already not too large rooms, it is necessary to mount compact hanging cabinets and shelves. The space under the sink should not be empty either. Installing a cabinet under the sink makes a significant contribution to the organization of space.
A double or single door bedside table plays the role of a stand under the sink, hides the plumbing layout (rarely anyone is pleased with the look of the pipes and the drain), and various objects can be placed inside the sections.
The kitchen and the bathroom belong to rooms with an aggressive environment: water vapor, spray, constant humidity, high temperature ... If you add the presence of dirt, cleaning with chemicals, you can imagine how much “negative” falls on the furniture. Therefore, the cabinet under the sink must have strength and moisture resistance. In its production, laminated fiberboards are used. Sometimes the raw materials are uncoated boards, wood panels or plywood. In these cases, several layers of waterproof paint or drying oils are applied to them.
Despite the variety of models, their designs are similar. Doors are usually fastened using standard hinges, or a piano loop of the required length is used. The back wall, as a rule, is absent. This is necessary to facilitate the installation of drain hoses and lead to water taps. To enhance the rigidity of the structure, the cabinet under the sink in the upper part is equipped with a special bar, and in the lower part
metal corners are used for these purposes
.When choosing a kitchen set, carefully study the operational characteristics of the sink. The dimensions and configuration that your cupboard under the sink for the kitchen will depend on its dimensions. Usually inside it provides a place for a garbage container. Shelves for cleaning and detergents can be located nearby. Another option for using the interior of the cabinet is to install retractable stands for cutlery and crockery. The countertop is best made of durable artificial stone, or it can be replaced by a metal corrugated washing cloth.
The bathroom is elegantly hanging pendant. Under the sink there is a place to store hygiene products. Communications are securely hidden. Similar models give the interior lightness. They occupy a minimum area, which is very important for owners of small rooms. The color scheme of the cabinet can be chosen to match the tone with the sink and the rest of the plumbing, or play in contrasts. Mirrors built into the doors visually expand the space.
The cabinet under the sink should be easy to clean from dirt, withstand constant contact with water. Plumbing outlets are located below it so that they can be reached in case of a leak. In addition, we must remember that it is impossible to bring electrical outlets near the cabinet.
