Cloakroom Sinks

The overall size of cloakroom sinks is small enough to fit in a tight space but still gives you enough room to wash your hands comfortably. Typically they will measure between 40 and 50cm wide and be about 30-35cm from front to back. You can also get corner sinks which take up less room.

These sinks are often fixed straight to the wall and work really hard to make the most of the space available. If you want to hide away the plumbing pipes or incorporate a storage area to keep the room tidy then you may choose to set the cloakroom sink on a vanity unit. A baby or tiny basin as it is sometimes known will usually only be mounted to the wall and will probably have the taps set to either or one side of bowl area. Since the bowl area here can be very small, it’s best to use short spout taps so that they don’t get in the way.

Toilets

Nowadays, there are many different kinds that a person can choose from. Not just the design and look, but they can differ in their size, their flushing options, and the shape of the bowl. Another differentiation is in those that are meant for people without any handicap, and toilets that are meant for disabled people. Here’s a look at all these different types:

Two Piece Toilets: This one where the flush tank and the toilet bowl are two separate pieces, fitted together to form the fixture. These are perhaps the most common type out there.

One Piece Toilets: The tank and the bowl are joined and not separated. These kinds are typically seen in palatial homes and hotels, largely because they are more expensive than the two piece versions.

Gravity Flush Toilets: These have a water tank that works on the gravity principle. The water from the tank pushes the matter in the bowl into the drain pipes, thus completing the flushing action.

Pressure Assisted Flush Toilets: They do not have the regular tank, but a tank where water fills and is pressurized into a small space. When the toilet is flushed, the pressurized water enters the bowl and flushes the waste.

Floor Mounted Units: In these the drain pipe has an outlet in the floor and thus the pedestal is mounted on the floor. The flushing mechanism can be either gravity or pressure assisted.

Wall Mounted Toilets: These are not floor mounted but are mounted on the wall behind the toilet, with the opening of the drain in the wall.

Depending on your individual needs and requirements, you can choose a toilet from the various types mentioned here.
