For the professional, care is needed when choosing the ideal cabinet for this environment, because there are options made of materials inappropriate to water resistance, reducing the useful life of the cabinet.As Patricia explains, the most commonly used material for making cabinets is the green-colored mdf ultra, because it is more resistant to water.
"Among the most common finishes are melamine coatings, in which, specifically, you can find a wide variety of colors and patterns, but there is also the possibility of making the fronts of doors, drawers and pull-outs with colored glass or mirrors," says the professional.
At the right time
The models can vary according to the personal taste of the residents, and can have soft or vibrant colors, as well as traditional formats or curved lines, giving more personality to the environment.
If the visual can be varied, for greater functionality, the installation of the cabinet must be standard. As illustrated above, the ideal is that the surface of the tub be 90cm from the floor, regardless of the model of tub chosen. The architect also suggests that the cabinet be installed about 15 to 20cm above the floor, making it easier to clean the floor.
Maintenance and care
As it is an environment in constant contact with humidity, some care is needed to increase the longevity of this piece of furniture: "Maintenance is simple, just clean it regularly with neutral products and avoid throwing water over the body and the fronts of the cabinet," teaches the professional.
Regardless of the material in which the cabinet was made, its cleaning must be done with non-abrasive products, such as neutral detergents, checking the best option according to the material used. In the case of glass, the use of a specific cleaning product is the most indicated.

21. all the elegance of the mirror
Another material that can be used to make this type of cabinet, the mirror ensures a more glamorous look, bringing refinement and sophistication to the room. Here it was used to cover the entire outer part of the cabinet, reflecting the rest of the environment.
22. minimalist design and large measurements
In this project, the cabinet was planned so that it would not require the use of handles to open its drawers and doors. The cut in the wood itself takes care of this feat. It is worth mentioning the metal rod installed on the countertop to hang the hand towel.

30. embedded and suspended model at the same time
Another project presenting the "L" model as an option, here each part has a different installation. While one of them has a suspended arrangement, where the sinks are, the other has the help of a structure with the same coating as the floor, resulting in an embedded model.
