The best pedestals and semi-pedestals for sinks in 2022

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

Benefits of pedestals

First, they ensure that the sink will hold up even if it is very heavy. This is especially true if the bathroom was remodeled, 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 the communication system and the siphon for draining water into the sewer from prying eyes. Thirdly, such products allow you to give a more harmonious and complete look 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 mounted on 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 on a leg” (it is not by chance that a sink on a pedestal used to be 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 must 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, regardless of which type of construction the client prefers, it is worth noting a few points that you need to pay attention to when choosing.

• Product material.

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

Ceramics (or its variety 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. Such grinding allows you to make the surface so smooth that the dirt will simply drain off it.

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

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

• Product height.

The degree of ease of use of the washbasin directly depends on the height of the product.The most comfortable height is 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 technical characteristics, attention should also be paid to external compatibility, if the washbasin has a rounded shape, then the “leg” should also correspond to it and avoid clear geometric shapes and angles. Many manufacturing companies immediately produce a set of a washbasin and its “holder”, and in cases where some unique design or functionality of the sink is not required, it is better to use a ready-made solution and purchase a similar set. At the same time, 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 fixtures: the structure can be attached to the floor, and a sink will be installed on it, or both it and the washbasin will be attached to the wall. The latter option is the most preferred, due to the fact that installation on the wall will be much easier. At the same time, 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.

• Producing country.

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

• Additional features.

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