You may have never wondered at what height to place the sink, but you have to know that it is one of the most frequently asked questions when designing a washroom and the answer is not so simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right place to place a sink depends on many factors, including height, location and the type of faucet you choose. One of the most important decisions is at what height to place the sink. The correct height is essential to ensure the comfort and functionality of the sink.<\/p>\n\n\n

The standard height for placing a washbasin is 85 cm from the floor to the surface of the basin. This height is suitable for most people and allows easy access to most taps and faucets. However, for people with disabilities or special needs, the height may vary according to your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sink height<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the standard height of 85 cm is adequate for most people, it is important to keep in mind that the height of the people who will use the washbasin<\/strong>. For example, if the person is very tall, you may want to place the sink at a slightly higher height to avoid back and neck pain. Similarly, if you are very short, you may want to place the sink at a lower height to avoid back and neck problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of washbasins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the height, it is also important to take into account the type of sink<\/strong>. Two of the most popular designs are the countertop basin and the inset washbasin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The built-in washbasin is integrated into the countertop, so there is no problem when deciding the height of the washbasin. On the other hand, the main characteristic of the countertop washbasin is that it is placed independently from the countertop or the bathroom furniture. Therefore, when placing the washbasin, the thickness of the washbasin must also be taken into account. That is to say, you have to add the height of the countertop plus the height of the countertop washbasin to get the right height.<\/p>\n\n\n

Type of faucet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only the type of washbasin, but also the type of tap<\/strong>. Some faucets require a specific height to function properly, while others can be installed at any height. It is important to make sure that the faucet chosen is compatible with the sink height chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last but not least, before installing the washbasin it is necessary to consider that water intake<\/strong> is in accordance with the installation we have chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the correct height to place a washbasin is essential to ensure the comfort and functionality of the washbasin. <\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":10084,"parent":0,"template":"","inspiration_categories":[55],"class_list":["post-10080","inspiration","type-inspiration","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","inspiration_categories-consejos"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\u00bfA qu\u00e9 altura colocar el lavabo? - Bathco<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/en\/inspiration\/at-what-height-to-place-the-sink\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u00bfA qu\u00e9 altura colocar el lavabo? - Bathco\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Puede que nunca te hayas preguntado a qu\u00e9 altura colocar el lavabo, pero tienes que saber que es una de las preguntas m\u00e1s frecuentes a la hora de dise\u00f1ar un aseo y la respuesta no es tan sencilla.
