Advantages Of Wall Hung Wash Basins

Wall hung basins have numerous benefits which you should take advantage of.

• They are the most flexible choice of wash basins. You can easily create your own design and make your wash basin a unique element which stands out from the others. The versatility in styling is what makes them so popular and in demand.
• You can install a wall hung wash basin at any height according to your preference. This makes it super convenient for individuals who have difficulties bending or other related problems.
• Wall hung wash basins are ideal for small bathrooms since they are space savers. They make your bathroom look more open since no space is taken up by a vanity and the floor underneath is left open and clear.
• You get to choose the kind of storage options you want to have in your bathroom. For example, you can go for open shelving or storage recessed into the walls. A vanity might not be suitable for every bathroom especially for larger ones where space is limited. 
• These wash basins are easy to clean and maintain since all the parts are more open and easily accessible. You don’t have to deal with bacteria or dirt build up in inaccessible nooks or corners.
• You can utilize the space below the basin for anything you need. You can place a clothing basket, a stand to keep your towels and toiletries or anything else you want. The plumbing pipes most probably won’t be an issue since with wall hung basins, they are encased within the wall behind the basin. If your pipes do go through the floor, you can put a pedestal underneath the basin for a clean look.
• They are aesthetically pleasing and give an elegant, clean and sophisticated look. A well designed wall mounted basin will serve as an attractive focal point for your bathroom. 

Installation Of A Wall Hung Basin

• The first step is to determine the height where the wash basin will be fixed in place. Usually bathroom basins are placed somewhere between 770mm and 870mm high. However you can choose any height depending upon your preference.
• Measure the distance between the two fixing holes and the distance from the wash basin to the fixing holes.
• Mark the centre of the basin. Make sure your lines are straight using a spirit level. Use the first measurement to find the height of your fixing holes.
• Once you have properly marked, measured and positioned everything, you can drill your fixing wall holes using the appropriate drill bit.
• Insert wall anchors into the fixing holes and make sure they are tight and secure. 
• Position the basin and make sure it is level. Secure it on the wall anchors with washers, nuts and a flanged collar sleeve. Before tightening the nuts, double-check the basin to see whether it is level.
• Seal the edges of your wash basin with silicone sealant.
• Finish by connecting your water supply lines.
