Handtvättställs

Handtvättställs, often referred to as washbasins or sinks, are fixtures found in bathrooms and washrooms designed for personal hygiene. They are typically a bowl-shaped receptacle made from materials such as ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel, or stone, and are connected to a water supply and drainage system. The primary function of a handtvättställ is to provide a convenient place to wash hands, face, and perform other minor ablutions.

These fixtures come in a variety of designs and installation methods to suit different spaces and aesthetic preferences. Common types include pedestal sinks, where the basin is supported by a column; wall-hung sinks, which are mounted directly to the wall, offering a space-saving solution; and countertop sinks, which can be either undermounted or drop-in styles installed into a vanity or countertop. Corner sinks are also available for maximizing space in smaller rooms.

A handtvättställ typically includes a faucet or tap to control the flow of hot and cold water, and a drain with a plug or stopper to manage water release. Some modern designs incorporate integrated soap dispensers or overflow features to prevent water spillage. The size and depth of handtvättställs can vary, with smaller models suitable for powder rooms and larger ones for more functional bathrooms. Their installation and maintenance are crucial for maintaining hygiene and functionality in any washroom environment.
