When equipping a bathroom, the owners responsibly choose every element that is in it. This applies not only to bathtubs and sinks, but also to such trifles as faucets, mirrors and lamps. You need to be careful when buying a cabinet under the sink. After all, if you successfully choose a bedside table, you can make the room comfortable and attractive. Moreover, you can hide pipes behind it, which spoil the appearance of the room, and put all household trifles into it so that they are not in sight.

What materials should you pay attention to when buying a cabinet?
Bathrooms vary in layout and area. That is why in furniture stores you can find a wide variety of types of cabinets that are suitable for a bathroom with any area. Manufacturers of cabinets pay special attention to the material of their manufacture. After all, they will be in a room with high humidity and periodic temperature fluctuations.
Therefore, the cabinet should be:
- moisture resistant;
- resistant to mechanical damage;
- resistant to mold and rust;
- not deformed over time.
Often cabinets are made from MDF, glass, laminated chipboard, wood or metal. The cheapest cabinets are made from chipboard.
Each material has its own characteristics, pros and cons.
Cabinets are considered elite, for the creation of which natural wood was used. To create them, a solid mass of wood is taken and treated with a special impregnation, which provides the material with resistance to moisture. However, a cabinet made of wood is better, after all, suitable for a bathroom with a large area and good ventilation.
Curbstones made of impact-resistant glass look quite interesting. They are different in design and color. Such a cabinet is able to visually increase the space of the room and give its interior a futuristic look. Most often, cabinets are made of frosted glass, combining it with chrome steel. A curbstone made of such glass has good moisture-resistant qualities, but its surface is difficult to care for.They need to be wiped very often so that water does not leave stains and plaque does not form over time.
Cabinet made of moisture-resistant MDF fibreboard is closed on all sides by design elements. This is a good moisture-resistant material. Outwardly, the cabinet is often covered with a laminating film or special paint. The fittings are made of chrome-plated steel. Such details will have their original appearance for a long time. But plastic decorative elements with a silver or gold coating quickly lose their appearance.
