The overhead sink is mounted on top of the cabinet, but the countertop is not used. The configuration of the sink may be different, as well as the material. Unary with a tray, that is, next to the sink there is a surface where you can put hot and wet objects. Double, in two sections. The most common material is stainless steel and artificial pressed stone.

The mortise sink is mounted on the countertop. For these purposes, a hole corresponding to the washing dimension is cut out in it using an electric jigsaw. It is inserted into it on the sealant, it prevents the penetration of water into the seam.

Inside, the floor stand under the sink is usually hollow, without shelves, as there is a sink drain. In the vast majority of cases, these sections are used to store garbage containers.

The standard tabletop depth is 60 cm, it is 5 cm wider than the cabinet itself. Individual orders produce sections with a depth of 75 cm. Then use a table top of 80 cm. Its outer edge is rounded and hangs over the floor section. The side adjacent to the wall must be hidden by a special kitchen baseboard. Sectional worktops are protected on the sides, in most cases, with an aluminum end edge to protect it from moisture and swelling.The disadvantage of this type of pedestals is that there is a gap between the sections, where pollution accumulates over time. Therefore, kits that cover a common countertop have gained popularity.

Materials of manufacture

The kitchen table with and without a worktop can be made of various materials. Most commonly used:

• laminated board is the most inexpensive material for floor stands. We represent glued wood shavings coated with plastic. The plate is cut in size, the ends are processed by the edge. The most vulnerable place of such products is the end part. In case of water ingress, the stove can absorb it and swell over time;
• sections made of laminated board and MDF facades. This material represents a finely divided fraction of wood, which is dried and pressed by vacuum. On top of the plate is covered with a film that simulates wood or other colors. As an option, facades are made of painted MDF. The advantage of them is that the ends do not require edging. In addition, relief surfaces can be made from MDF boards. The most popular option for the manufacture of kitchen furniture;
• floor stand made of laminate with veneered facades. The same as the facades of MDF, only the top is covered with a plate not with a film, but with a thin cut of natural wood, veneer;
• sections from a natural tree - a natural tree environmentally friendly, beautiful material. But in this case, the quality of wood and the professionalism of the craftsmen who make the cabinet play an important role. If the material was not properly dried and selected, then the facades can "lead";
• facades are made of glass and plastic. As a rule, they are framed by an aluminum edge. Most of these floor stands are used for interiors in a minimalist style. They look pretty enough. But such facades require careful treatment. Since they can be scratched. Cracks and chips may form on the glass.

The internal filling of the pedestals is less subjected to mechanical and other influences, so in most cases it is made of a laminated board.

Posting Rules

In order to choose the right sections for the kitchen, you need to know the size of the room, determine their purpose. Based on the total length of the working wall, sections are selected. Manufacturers offer standard kitchen sets from 1.6 m to 2.6 m. The most requested sections are listed in the table below.

Kitchen cabinet with worktop with drawer should be located near the stove or hob for ease of use. It is advisable to use a common countertop.

If each section for the kitchen is equipped with a separate countertop, and the sink is mortise, then all joints must be sealed so that moisture gets into them as little as possible. For the same purposes, experts recommend installing a kitchen baseboard at the junction of the wall and the kitchen cabinet.

The nuances of choice

When choosing a floor stand, focus on the style of the room. Laminate floor stands are the most affordable. The best option for cost and quality indicators will be sections with MDF facades.

If you have non-standard sizes of the kitchen, then it is better to purchase floor cabinets from manufacturers who offer modular systems with a large assortment of sections of different sizes. Custom-made furniture would be an ideal option, but it is an order of magnitude more expensive.

Distribution chains offer a wide range of kitchen furniture for the kitchen at an affordable price. Therefore, without difficulty, you can choose the sections that are suitable for your room.
