Countertops in the bathroom

Modern bathroom design is significantly different from the usual ten-year-old versions.

In recent years, a lot of new solutions have appeared that were not practically used before.

One of these innovations are sinks in the bathroom with a worktop, which are actively used in rooms of different sizes.

That is why it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the photo of bathroom countertops in order to have a more detailed understanding of their role in the modern interior.

Today the tabletop is a shelving unit that can have various dimensions and serve to store various accessories.

Most often the worktop is combined with a washbasin, equipped with shelves and various drawers, lighting or sockets.

Worktop Materials

Countertops can be made of wood, MDF or glass. There are a number of artificial countertops in the bathroom.

Minor damage is easily repaired by ordinary polishing.

Built-in countertops in the bathroom can be made of glass. The best option for the premises of small areas.

The transparency of the glass gives the room lightness and airiness.

Glass countertop in the bathroom under the sink - this is a budget option that allows you to use any decor: tinting paper or decorative film. Glass - material is quite durable and resistant to damage.

The only drawback - the stains that remain after the ingress of water.

Countertops made of MDF are short-lived. MDF countertops in the bathroom under the sink are covered with a special laminate, but the material itself is afraid of moisture, and the coating can be easily damaged.
