Best sink pedestals and half pedestals in 2020

When choosing a bathroom sink, many people think about what to do with the drainage system when installing it. There are not so many options - to close the pipe with decorative panels, close it with a cabinet for storing toiletries, or close it using special devices. Today, the most practical way is to install pedestals or semi-pedestals - structures that, in addition to decorative, also carry a number of useful functions.

Benefits of pedestals

First, they ensure that the sink will hold even if it is very heavy. This is especially true if the bathroom has been redeveloped and the owners are not sure about the reliability of the wall to which the sink will be attached. Secondly, they perform a decorative function, allowing you to hide from prying eyes the communication system and the siphon for draining water into the sewer. Thirdly, such products allow you to give a more harmonious and complete appearance to the sink and the room itself as a whole.

However, plumbing stores offer their customers not only pedestals, but also semi-pedestals. Let's find out how they differ from each other.

A pedestal is a structure, one end of which is installed in the floor, and a sink is installed on the other. If you look at this device from the side, you can conclude that it is a "sink with a leg" (it is no coincidence that earlier a sink on a pedestal was called a "sink with a leg").

A semi-pedestal is a structure on which a sink is also installed on one side, but its other side rests against the wall, due to which the floor remains free, and the system itself looks lighter and more airy. However, this mount has its own peculiarity - the drain pipe in the bathroom should be in the wall, only in this case it will be possible to attach the product to it, which is not always convenient, because in the event of a leak or blockage, it will be problematic to access it.

Criteria for choosing a pedestal or semi-pedestal.

However, no matter what type of construction the client prefers, it is worth noting a few points that must be paid attention to when choosing.

• Product material.

The most popular materials from which this type of construction is made are:

Ceramics (or its kind of sanitary ware) are the most popular materials in the production of sanitary ware, the main advantages of which are lightness, strength, reliability and durability.At the same time, modern plumbing manufacturers endow their devices with additional functions, for example, dirt-repellent properties, which are achieved thanks to a special grinding system. This sanding allows you to make the surface so smooth that dirt will simply drain from it.

Porcelain - looks like sanitary ware, but its characteristics differ from it in increased strength and due to its density (the density of porcelain is much higher than the density of earthenware) does not absorb foreign odors, it is easier to clean and plaque forms on it less often. Artificial stone is a modern material made of polymers that looks like natural marble. A feature of this composition is the ability to cover the product with preparations based on silver, which have antibacterial properties.

Steel is one of the most durable materials for the manufacture of plumbing fixtures, and due to its lightness, steel products can be given any shape, even the most unusual. This quality is especially appreciated by the owners of apartments, the design of which is made in the eclectic style.

• Product height.

The degree of ease of use of the washbasin directly depends on the height of the product. The most comfortable height is considered to be 80-85 centimeters, so the pedestal should be chosen with a height of 65 to 75 centimeters, while the height of the half-pedestal should be from 30 to 40 centimeters.

• Matching sink and pedestal.

In addition to the technical characteristics, attention should be paid to the external compatibility, if the washbasin has a rounded shape, then the "leg" should correspond to it and avoid clear geometric shapes and angles. Many manufacturing companies immediately release a set of a washbasin and its "holder", and in cases where a unique design or functionality of the sink is not required, it is better to use a ready-made solution and purchase a similar set. It should be noted that the cost of the kit does not greatly exceed the cost of a separate device, and often comes out even cheaper.

• Mounting method.

There are 2 types of the most commonly used fasteners: the structure can be fixed to the floor, and the sink will be installed on it, or both it and the washbasin will be fixed to the wall. The latter option is the most preferable, due to the fact that installation to the wall will be much easier. It should be noted that wall mounting is a more reliable way to install the structure due to the fact that the pedestal is placed close to the wall.

• Manufacturer country.

The most popular countries producing plumbing equipment are Italy, Poland, Czech Republic. Choosing equipment made in one of these countries, you can be sure of the quality of the product.

• Additional features.

Today, increased requirements are imposed on plumbing. In addition to the material from which it is made and the appearance, manufacturers are trying to give their products more functionality. So modern devices can have a built-in towel holder, be decorated with decorative elements, metal inserts for gold or silver and even wood, curly bends.
