Hygiene
The first aspect to bear in mind when choosing bathroom countertops is to ensure they are hygienic, a remarkably sensitive aspect in a context such as the present. To ensure hygiene in the bathroom, a humid space especially sensitive to the proliferation of microorganisms, we have countertops, countertops with integrated basin or basins with antibacterial surfaces.Balance between aesthetics and functionality
The washbasin area is a focal point in the design and distribution of the room as a whole, and therefore a great deal of the bathroom aesthetics depend on the aesthetics of the countertop. Besides its aesthetics, a bathroom countertop must fulfil the functions specific to its nature. To do so, it may be necessary to add a mantel for the washbasin and shelves, or drawers, opting for the utmost functionality of the space.Easy cleaning and maintenance
Both the countertop and the washbasin must be easy to maintain and clean. This will prevent bacteria from spreading and avoid premature wear of this element.Dimensions and installation method
When choosing the countertop, some options in terms of dimensions are worth considering. Choosing tailor-made or custom bathroom countertops is a good idea when you have to play with the space inside the room. In other cases, the best option is likely to be a standard bathroom countertop. Both, the Project Tech and Oxo, are available in standard sizes, as well as customized sizes and mechanized on request. The installation method will also be a highly important part to take into account when choosing a countertop.Choose the right material
