Washbasin dimensions: how to correctly read the drawings and choose the right size
When arranging a bathroom, the task is to choose all interior elements that will be functional and harmoniously combined with each other. In addition to the appearance, it is also important to consider the dimensions and installation features of each product. An incorrectly selected washbasin can cause discomfort in use and ruin the general appearance of the bathroom. In the article, we will consider how to correctly read the drawing of a washbasin in order to make a choice that will best meet your needs.
For your convenience, on the Miraggio website, on the page of each product under its description, there is a Documentation section, where you can find a 3D model, drawings, technical data sheet and instructions. Also, you can view the 3D model in the product gallery and see the way the sink looks from all sides. Each of these documents has an active download link, click on it and the corresponding document will be downloaded to your device in PDF format. Also, among the main images, you can view the drawing without downloading it.
The drawing contains the most accurate information about the dimensions, shape and other features of the washbasin, which are important to consider before buying it.
Basic drawing elements
In the drawing, each product is shown in several planes to have an understanding of all dimensions and available openings. These characteristics are especially important if the washbasin is installed on furniture, in a niche, recessed under the countertop or suspended.
Let's consider the drawing using the LOOP 1200 Mirasoft washbasin as an example.
General appearance of the drawing:
The top view on the drawing marked with the letters A-B is the general view of the washbasin. Here is indicated: the width and depth of the washbasin, the location of the holes for the faucet and the overflow, their diameters, the dimensions of the inner bowl (the diameter of the bowl is indicated in this washbasin). All data are given in millimeters.
From the drawing, it can be seen that the LOOP-1200 Mirasoft washbasin is 1197 mm wide at the top and 448 mm deep on each side. The matrices have a trapezoidal shape, so the products often have an extension to the bottom, sometimes to the top.
The distance from the edge to the holes for the faucet is 438 mm, their diameter is 35 mm. The diameter of the inner cups is 360 mm. All Miraggio washbasins have a standard 45 mm drain hole. The distance from the back wall of the washbasin to the bowl is 60 mm, the radius of rounding of the edge of the sink is R50.

View from below
It is clearly visible here that the sink is 3 mm wider at the bottom.
According to the lower view of the drawing, we have additional data: the thickness of the sink wall is 10 mm, the reinforcement of the structure is 25 mm.
Planes A-A and B-B give us an idea of the appearance of the washbasin in section. They show the thickness of the walls, the shape of the inside of the washbasin and the height of the product and additional holes.
So, for example, the total height of the LOOP 1200 Mirasoft washbasin is 117 mm, while the height of the side of the washbasin is 100 mm.
The depth of the bowl is 95 mm, the angle of inclination of the walls of the washbasin is 90, which means that with a suspended type of installation, the sink will fit snugly against the wall.
The drawing also shows holes for towels, their dimensions are 300x45 mm with a radius of 45, which are located at a distance of 140 and 28 mm from the edges of the washbasin. The diameter of the holes for fasteners (with the suspended type of installation) is 10 mm. The distance from the hole for fastening to the edge of the washbasin (on the side) is 50 mm, and from the top to the fastening - 35 mm.
In addition, in the lower right corner of the drawing, the name of the product is indicated, optionally the manufacturing technology, possible errors in dimensions, as a rule, it is no more than 3 mm (due to many production factors), as well as the net weight in kilograms.
The LOOP 1200 Mirasoft washbasin weighs 26.7 kg.
Additional parameters that should not be forgotten when choosing a washbasin
First of all, customers are used to considering the width and depth of the sink, but you should not forget about other characteristics when you want to buy a washbasin.
- Consider the height of the washbasin - if it is installed on furniture, it is important that its full height ensures comfortable use, there is enough space for the bowl and siphon connection, these dimensions are shown on the drawing as the overall height of the washbasin
- Holes - the holes for the drain hole are very important here, this must be taken into account at the design stage to ensure the output of communications. Holes for the faucet and an overflow should also be taken into account, if they are not provided in your design project, you can order a washbasin without them or optionally with one of them.
