Materials

Furniture with sink should be functional and beautiful, but if it is made from substandard materials, then all her benefits be reduced to zero. So how exactly do materials affect the quality and lifetime of the whole structure. The main requirements to the materials of the cabinets is their ability to survive a sharp drop in temperature and humidity. Materials which possess these qualities are MDF panels, MDF, artificial stone and wood. The surface of The furniture, made of MDF, generally processed by two methods:

1. Painting. First, on the surface of the material is applied primer, and then painted it with paint in multiple layers. This makes the furniture highly protected.
2. Treatment with a special compound. Material, both outside and inside, is treated with special water-resistant liquid, which prevents process of reproduction and spread of fungi, mold, etc..

 

Nightstand made of chipboard, less expensive, and various mechanical damage her scary. The surface of this material is covered by plastic sheets, which prevents delamination and swelling of the material. The reliability of the furniture and sinks from an artificial stone you can not doubt it. The only thing it is very important that the surface of the furniture lacked any damage, including scratches that could ruin the integrity of the material. If the furniture is made of wood, it must be covered with a special moisture-proof means. At cost furniture made of natural wood, is more expensive than those made of MDF or chipboard.

 

 

Equally important is the quality of the furniture. Over time doors can start to creak and rattle. So the stronger they are the longer they will serve you.

As for the shell, it can be: ceramic, porcelain, earthenware, cast iron, steel, stone and glass. The materials of the cabinets and sink need to be combined.

Depending on what materials made the whole structure, changing its value. At the moment it ranges from 1050 to virtually any 325600.
