Comparison Akva Rodos Vintazh 70 OP0002425 vs Juventa Ravenna 60

This point refers to the external shape of the washbasin. First of all, the choice for this parameter depends on aesthetic preferences and design requirements. In practice, the differences between the different forms are essentially only that the presence of corners makes cleaning the washbasin somewhat more difficult - but not so much that this can be called a key point.

Traditional varieties of shapes are round, semicircular, oval, rectangular. In the latter case, there are variations on the theme of a rectangular shape with an arc(in general, the body of the washbasin has right angles, but the front segment of its bowl acts as a characteristic semicircle - an arc) and a rectangular shape with beveled corners(the corners of the body of such washbasins are made not at 90°, but in the form of curves). A separate line can highlight the barrel-shaped shape - such models have curved sides that form a rounded and smooth shape, like a classic barrel.

— Invoice for the cabinet. Washbasins designed to be installed directly on the cabinet. Their key advantage is ease of installation, especially compared to hanging models. Note that the design features of such models somewhat limit the variety of shapes.

— Suspended. Washbasins designed for wall mounting. Such models take up minimal space, but are quite difficult to install, because... require installation of appropriate wall mounts.

— Overlay on the tabletop. A type of overhead washbasin designed for installation on a countertop. In many ways they are similar to the overhead models on the cabinet (see above), but are even easier to install. In addition, such washbasins can have almost any shape.

Opening methods provided in the design of the cabinet.

The most popular options in this case are hinged doors, hinged doors",
— Drawers. The most common method of opening among modern cabinets for washbasins; in most cases, is the only one, with doors (one or another design) boxes are significantly less common. Such devices, on the one hand, are very simple and inexpensive, on the other - convenient, reliable and practical. Among other things, drawers are usually able to move almost the entire length, and to access their contents do not need to go to the back of the nightstand.

— Swing doors. Doors of traditional design: fastened on the vertical pivot axis and open forward-right or forward-left. This design is familiar and familiar to most users, and it is quite convenient and practical. Therefore, the doors in the modern cabinets for the washbasins are most often made of hinged.

— Hinged doors. Doors on the horizontal axis open forward-down. Noticeably less popular than...the hinged, as the open door protrudes forward and can create inconvenience. However, such devices have advantages - for example, in the same open position, the door can be used as an improvised shelf. In addition, this design is great for built-in laundry baskets; in fact, with such baskets, folding doors are most often used.

— Sliding doors. Very rare option: doors that to open to the left or right. The advantages of this arrangement include the fact that the open door does not protrude ahead of the dimensions of the cabinets; this is especially useful in cramped conditions. On the other hand, the sliding design does not allow to open the entire interior of the furniture - part of it will inevitably be covered by a sliding door. Therefore, and for some other reasons, this opening method is only found in single models, and it is not usually combined with other versions.

— No handle (push-to-open). This feature means that the doors and/or boxes of the cabinets (all or at least part of them) do not use handles, but special mechanisms that work from pressing the outside of the door or box. After such a push, the retainer is switched off and the door/drawer is pushed a little forward (so that you can take the hand and complete the opening). And to close, you either need to simply return the structure to its original position, or press the same way again.
The main advantage of cabinets with the push-to-open function can be called a minimum of protruding parts (or even their complete absence). This, in particular, makes it easier to clean (reduces the number of corners where dirt can accumulate), and also reduces the likelihood of hitting a protruding handle. In addition, a discreet design without unnecessary details is great for bathrooms with a minimalist design. On the other hand, the more traditional concealed handles don't stick out either; and additional mechanisms affect the cost of the product and somewhat reduce its reliability. Therefore, there are few models with push-to-open nowadays.

- Ceramics. The most common material for modern sinks. Today, ceramic washbasins are made from: porcelain and earthenware. Porcelain has good strength, but is difficult to manufacture, making it quite expensive and relatively rare. Earthenware is a little less durable, but at the same time it costs less and looks no worse, which is why it has become widespread.

- Sanitary porcelain. Sanitary porcelain is considered a fairly advanced material: it is not inclined to absorb dirt, which is why it has a longer service life. In addition, the strength and reliability of this material are also quite high. Its main drawback is its rather high cost.

- Fake diamond. Most often, this term refers to cast marble - a composite material based on marble or quartz chips filled with polyester resin and dyes. The main advantage of artificial stone is its strength: it is perhaps the most impact-resistant material used in modern sinks. Plus it looks very good and is easy to clean. However, such washbasins are quite expensive.

- Glass. Glass can be classified as a premium material: it looks elegant, at the same time very original, making it well suited to various interiors, incl. and non-standard. The main disadvantage of glass is its fragility: it is somewhat less resistant to damage than the materials described above and requires careful handling. This is especially true for heavy objects - they should never be dropped onto glass sinks.

The warranty period declared by the manufacturer for this model - that is, the period during which the manufacturer guarantees normal operation. The specific terms of the warranty may vary, but as a rule it applies to factory defects and faults caused by the manufacturer/seller and detected in normal use, without violating the rules.

The longer the warranty period - the more reliable the model is, the higher its overall quality, all other things being equal, but the more expensive it will be compared to analogues.
