As one of the most important household products in the bathroom, the bathroom cabinet can be said to be the most troublesome household product to choose. After all, it carries our long-term toiletries. All kinds of toiletries, bottles and cans need to be reasonably stored in the bathroom cabinet, which puts forward high requirements for the functionality and storage of the bathroom cabinet. The style of the bathroom cabinet has also become a problem for many people. The bathroom is so big. Is it more suitable to choose the wall hanging type or the floor type?
Bathroom cabinets on the market can generally be divided into floor type and hanging type. Consumers can choose according to their own needs. It is worth noting that the preparation work to be done before decoration is not the same when installing two kinds of bathroom cabinets.
Wall mounted: as the name suggests, the wall mounted bathroom cabinet is fixed on the wall, so the appearance will look more lightweight.
advantage:
The advantages of this bathroom cabinet are high appearance value, small floor area, simple and light appearance. And because the bottom is suspended, it is not easy to form a sanitary dead corner, so it is relatively simple to clean. At the same time, because it is high above the ground, the moisture in the bathroom is not easy to enter the cabinet, causing mildew and cracking, which can effectively prolong the service life of the cabinet.
shortcoming
The wall mounted bathroom cabinet has certain requirements for the installation conditions of the bathroom.
First of all, the drainage method must choose the wall drainage. If your home adopts the ground drainage method, it is not suitable to install the wall mounted bathroom cabinet. The drainage method should be decided before decoration, so we should consider what kind of bathroom cabinet we need to install at that time.
In addition, the wall mounted bathroom cabinet requires that the wall must be a load-bearing wall. If your home is not a load-bearing wall, it cannot be installed. Hanging bath cabinets are really good-looking, but most of them don’t consider the factors of their own walls. For example, the back is clearly a non load-bearing wall, except for red bricks, and even some aerated blocks, such walls can’t be hung in the air. Although the bathroom cabinet can be installed after tiling in the later stage, this load-bearing will sooner or later lead to accidents, not to mention the fact that there is no need to use expansion screws behind the suspended bathroom cabinet, but use self tapping to fix it directly. It can be installed temporarily in a short time, and it will inevitably sink under the action of gravity in the later stage.
Compared with the floor type bathroom cabinet, the wall mounted cabinet is much lighter, but its storage capacity is also inferior.
To sum up, the wall mounted bathroom cabinet is more suitable for the installation of small family toilets due to its small floor space, but the selection should also be considered in combination with the drainage mode and the bearing capacity of the wall.
Floor standing
Floor mounted bathroom cabinets are more popular than wall mounted ones. Most of the finished cabinets in the market are floor mounted. Because of their simple style and convenient installation, they are still the mainstream choice in the market.
advantage:
The floor type installation is simple, easy to move, and has sufficient storage space. It has no requirements on the bearing capacity of the wall and the drainage mode of the toilet.
Disadvantages:
Compared with the wall hung bathroom cabinet, the floor type occupies a larger space. At the same time, because the bottom is in close contact with the ground, it is very easy to be affected by moisture and mildew, which affects the service life of the cabinet. At the same time, it is also easy to form a sanitary dead corner and bring difficulties to cleaning.
