Ten things to pay attention to in the bathroom cabinet

1. The bathroom cabinet should be made of multi-layer board or solid wood, not other materials

If you have a high budget, choose solid wood boards, which are high-density, waterproof, moisture-proof, and resistant to deformation. If you have a small budget, choose multi-layer boards, which are waterproof, moisture-proof, stable, and cost-effective. Do not choose particle board and density board, the bathroom is humid, and it will become moldy and deformed after two years of use, and the environmental protection is relatively poor, and the ventilation in the bathroom is average.

2. The bathroom cabinet should be suspended, not floor-standing

The floor cabinets are suspended in the air, which not only has a higher appearance and is more beautiful, but also has no hygienic dead corners at the bottom, and there is enough storage space. The floor-standing bathroom cabinet has a small gap at the bottom, and a mop cannot get in, so it is difficult to clean it. After a long time, it will be a breeding ground for bugs and bacteria. The damp at the bottom will also affect the service life of the cabinet.

3. Choose a ceramic integrated basin instead of a rock-plate integrated basin

After all, the rock-slab integrated basin is also glued, and there is a risk of the bottom falling in the later stage, and the corners and corners are also hygienic dead ends. Don’t do it with the slab under-counter basin, because the seams between the basins are easy to hide dirt. Choose a ceramic integrated basin, which is the most cost-effective and easy to take care of.

4. It is necessary to change the wall drainage instead of the ground drainage

The floor drain pipes are exposed, and it is useless for you to choose a good-looking bathroom cabinet. Moreover, there are many dead corners in the bathroom, and if the cleaning is not in place, bacteria will breed. Changing the wall-mounted drain and matching it with a suspended bathroom cabinet is not only good-looking, but also does not take up the storage space in the cabinet.

5. Make a cabinet with a mirror instead of a mirror

Smart mirrors look good with lights on them, but they are not practical. There is no storage function, and there is no place to put the bottles and cans of the usual toiletries and cosmetics. Instead of spending money to install a smart mirror, it is more practical to install a mirror cabinet that can store things.

6. Make an under-counter basin instead of an over-counter basin

Although the above-counter basin has a good appearance, it needs to be glued around the bottom, which will become moldy and yellow after a long time, and the gaps in the faucet behind are also sanitary corners. It is also more convenient to do the daily cleaning of the under-counter basin, and the ceramic integrated basin is the first choice.

7. The height of the bathroom cabinet should be customized instead of regular size

The general standard height of the bathroom cabinet is about 800 or 850mm, and it will be very tiring to bend over when washing. It is recommended to increase the height to 900 or 950mm, which is more reasonable. It is more comfortable to use without bending over to wash your face and brush your teeth.

8. The size of the bathtub should be large enough, do not choose a size that is too small

The size of the bathtub is too small, it is not very convenient to wash your face or hair, and the width is limited, so water splashes everywhere. Therefore, you must consider your daily living habits when purchasing. No matter how big the countertop is, the size of the basin is at least 600 in length and 350 in width. Of course, this size depends largely on the size of the bathroom. A small bathtub is often a helpless move.

9. You should choose branded hardware instead of miscellaneous brands

The quality of the hardware is directly related to the service life of the bathroom cabinet. Especially for hinges and slide rails, choose 304 stainless steel with damping. No rust, the switch is smooth and does not pinch your hands. I don’t know how to choose. Remember these brands, Blum, Hettich, and DTC. It’s no problem to use them for more than ten years. In fact, these hardware parts are not expensive.

10. For installation, prepare your own anti-mildew glass glue, do not use the glass glue brought by the master

The glass glue that the installer comes with is basically no-brand and low-quality glue. Not only is the quality poor, it is prone to mold and discoloration, but it also has a strong smell and is not environmentally friendly. Be sure to prepare two tubes of zero-grade mildew-proof glass glue in advance.
