The sink in the bathroom is considered an important, sometimes even the main element of the interior. To diversify its design, many began to use a sink without a hole for the mixer. It belongs to designer plumbing and includes decorative and functional elements. Smoothness and elegance, solidity with a perfectly flat surface - the features of a modern interior with a touch of luxury.
Shell shape
A bathroom sink without a faucet hole seems to have a simple shape. There is nothing superfluous. But upon closer examination, it turns out that the opposite is true. It has a complicated design. In some models there are no holes at all, with the exception of the drain, but it is sometimes well masked.
The sink can be laid on with a small rim that covers its junction and the junction of the countertop.
The second option, when the sink is mounted under the countertop that coversseam.
The most hygienically ideal option is a one-piece glass sink. Since there are no seams, dirt simply does not accumulate on it.
To protect the bathroom from water splashes, you need to choose large models.
Where the mixer is located
Many manufacturers produce washbasins that have tap holes. But in modern design, the new model is preferred. This is a sink without a faucet hole. For them, the use of built-in mixers is provided, a characteristic feature of which is the presence of an elongated spout. Faucets can be installed on the wall, countertop, on the floor.
The mechanism of wall mixers is completely hidden in the wall. From the outside, there is only a valve for turning on the water and a spout pipe.
Also, you can use another type of faucet that is installed on the countertop to supply water. Here it is necessary that the spout of the faucet match the height of the side of the sink.
Expensive sinks rarely have a tap hole. It can even be installed on the floor next to the washbasin.
Manufacturing companies
A bathroom sink without a hole for a mixer, although it is sold in plumbing salons in our country, but similar models are produced by leading European plumbing manufacturers. Through their collaboration with world-class designers, new washbasin models are created with more refined shapes.
Systemoverflow
To prevent overflow of water from the sink, designers and constructors of manufacturing companies are developing new solutions.
There are three options for the overflow system:
- In the first case, when the water in the sink reaches a certain level, the drain will open automatically.
- The second option provides for the use of a built-in siphon. It is connected to a drain pipe. If the drain hole is closed, the water entering the washbasin also rises in the siphon. Having reached a certain level, the water flows into the sewer, overflowing through the partition.
- In the next case, a non-closable drain valve is equipped for the sink. And there is no need to worry that overflow will occur.
Pros and cons
A sink without a tap hole has both advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage of such sinks is some inconvenience in the installation. After all, to install pipes, you will need to cut the walls.
Their advantage is that when used, water does not get under the mixer, which eliminates the wear of the gasket, which is located between the sink and spout. They don't get as dirty as conventional washbasins collect dirt between the faucet and sink.
This design will make your bathroom look stylish and trendy.
Sink without faucet hole for use must be branded, not fake. And for its installation, you need to contact specialists indirection.
