Undoubtedly, the abundance of modern household appliances makes life very easy. No more hand-washing clothes, knocking down your knuckles and earning back pain. And then wait for it all to dry. Automation copes with the process much faster. The only bad thing is that the equipment takes up quite a lot of space. Some see a way out of the situation in placing a washing machine in the kitchen. But it's not more spacious. Therefore, it is better to consider another solution to the problem. Many have already appreciated the very reasonable layout of the bathroom space, which is characterized by hiding washing machines under the sink.
Of course, the old sink will have to be abandoned. You will need to purchase a special model. But as a result, you will free up a pretty decent platform. In the case when every centimeter counts, this is a pretty weighty argument "for". The sink for the washing machine must meet certain requirements. For our purposes, the water lily design is quite suitable.
The peculiarity of such models is the location of the drain hole. As a rule, it is located in the center of the rear part under the mixer. But even if the drain is found elsewhere, the outlet will still lead to the back adjacent to the wall. This design allows you not to worry about the possible penetration of moisture into the equipment in the event that the sink fails.
The dimensions of the sanitary ware are also selected for the washing machine. Its dimensions either completely coincide with the upper part of the machine, or slightly protrude from it by about 2 centimeters.
Installation of equipment requires some skill. During the installation process and in the future, when the sink is used for its intended purpose, water should not be allowed to enter your washer. Otherwise, its service life will expire quite quickly. It is better to disconnect the equipment from the system during installation and put it away. After that, the brackets are fixed at the desired height. Then the sink under the washing machine is connected to the water supply and sewerage. Now you can return the equipment to its place. Entrust the installation to professional plumbers. Of course, your husband is not hopeless and he is quite capable of coping with the change of the same tap. But the safe operation of devices depends on the quality of installation. The failure of the machine due to depressurization of the water supply and, as a result, flooding is not the most pleasant situation in life.
People, seriously puzzledsaving space in the bathroom, they prefer to buy special compact washing machines under the sink. There are plenty of models. Their difference from the usual designs in a limited load of linen. At one time, you can wash about three and a half kilograms. The loading of such units is exclusively frontal, which is quite understandable - there is a sink on top.
Manufacturers produce two types of such machines. The first, no more than 70 centimeters high, fit freely in a niche under the sink. But buying the second one will require raising the washbasin a little higher (by 100 or 105 centimeters). The functions of the compact models are the same as those of their full-size counterparts.
Thus, for owners of small apartments, a washing machine sink becomes a real chance to expand the space of cramped bathrooms, making them more comfortable.
