Today, a huge number of designers come up with more and more stylish solutions for bathrooms. New designs of bathtubs, showers, and, of course, sinks are being created. Thus, the famous and popular all over the world "tulip" shells were created.
A little bit about the tulip shell
In our time, tulip sinks 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 sink is fully consistent with its shape. Tulip sinks have a distinctive feature that makes this sanitary ware 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 bowl itself. However, today there are such models of pedestals, the purpose of whichconsists only in the decorative design of the sanitary ware. That is, in this case, the pedestal is intended only for the sink to have a beautiful and finished look, as well as to hide all communications.
In this situation, the bowl of the sink is simply attached to the wall with special screws.
Now there are 2 types of pedestals for the "tulip" sink: those that are attached to the floor, and those that are attached to the wall. It is useful to note that floor-mounted products are much more common.
Features of "tulips"
Today, sanitary ware stores provide customers with the opportunity to purchase "tulip" sinks of a wide variety of sizes and colors. It is in connection with this that you can not worry that the plumbing you have chosen will not fit the design of the bathroom. I would like to mention that the "tulip" sink, whose dimensions can vary from very small to very large, is not only a stylish, but also a durable product, which, if properly installed, will not only serve for a long time, but also serve well.
It is worth noting right away that installing a "tulip" sink is a process that, with certain skills and a bit of accuracy, will not take you much time. First of all, it is required to make holes in the wall of a suitable diameter for the brackets on which the bowl itself will be attached.
Holes are best made with a perforator so you don't damage the surface of the wall. However, this operation can be done with a drill. Next, you need to install a siphon for the sink, and only after that you can fix 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.
