The wash basin is a large fixed piece of furniture that every home needs to have . It provides a comfortable and convenient space for daily housework such as washing hands, brushing teeth, washing face, washing underwear, etc. When choosing a wash basin, there are also above-the-counter basins and under-the-counter basins. What is the difference between these two types of wash basins? What should you pay attention to when choosing? Let's talk about this topic today!

Now, let’s start the main text!

In ordinary households, relatively few people choose above-the-counter basins, mainly because above-the-counter basins are relatively less practical. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of above-the-counter basins:

The shapes of above-the-counter basins are rich and varied, and can be matched according to different decoration styles and space atmospheres. They can echo the overall style more and enhance the grade and design effect of the space.

The countertop and the basin are at different heights. When washing hands in the basin, water is easily splashed onto the countertop, which is inconvenient to use.

In addition, the basin body of the above-the-counter basin is larger, but the size inside the basin is smaller, which makes it not so convenient to use.

When using the wash basin, it is easy for water to splash outside the above counter basin. There will be gaps between the inside and sides of the above counter basin and the wall, and the gaps are neither big nor small, making it very troublesome to clean. If not cleaned, it will easily get moldy over time. This is the main reason why many people do not accept above counter basins.

Under-counter basins are a type of basin that many people choose. The basin is under the countertop of the sink, which is relatively simple and more convenient to maintain and use. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of under-counter basins:

The basin of the under-counter basin is embedded under the basin of the sink, and the countertop has a flat and uniform visual effect. The overall effect is more simple and generous, and it is also more versatile in terms of decoration style and space matching.

The countertop is at the same height as the top of the basin, and there is no protruding basin. The countertop space is more unified and spacious, making it more convenient to use. When washing, you can put the water cup on the countertop and use it easily. When washing underwear, you can put the small washbasin on the countertop without worrying about not having enough space.

The countertop of the under-counter basin is flat, and the wash basin is under the countertop. If there are stains in the basin, just turn on the faucet to rinse it. When there are water stains on the countertop, you can also easily wipe them clean. It is very convenient and simple to maintain.

So, how to choose between an above-the-counter basin and an under-the-counter basin? From the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of above-the-counter basins and under-the-counter basins introduced in the previous article, above-the-counter basins are mainly based on aesthetic design and are suitable for families with larger apartment sizes and higher requirements for the style of the basin ; under-the-counter basins are mainly based on practicality and are suitable for most families with just a living need . I personally prefer under-the-counter basins because they are more convenient to use and easy to maintain, and are a more rational choice.
