Cleaning of the window: the obstacles on the way of installation

When he saw in a magazine or a movie, how beautifully it looks in the kitchen washing the window, many are thinking about to dismantle its sink to the window sill and, during routine work, enjoy the view of the window.

In fact, everything is not as easy as it might seem.

The level of the sill

Firstly, the dismantling is possible only when the correct height of the sill.

The experiment

Come to my window in the kitchen and imagine that instead of a window sill stands a working surface of the table or sink. Are you comfortable will wash, cut, cleaned at such a height?

If the sill is too low, the cleaning of the installation is to abandon or raise the level of the window sill, which is acceptable to the mostly private homes.

If you sill "just", be aware that between him and the sink in height must be a gap of at least 3 cm. What for? And how are you going to open the window? Fold just touches the edge of a sink.

special mixer

Secondly, the opening of the valves may interfere mixer mounted on the rear of the cleaning work surface.

We'll have to find a special mixer models: with the ability to dive into a table or a version with fast-puller at wherein the mixer is separated from the working surface and with a supply water pipes laid in the sink before opening window. There is also a sink, in which the mixer is mounted from the side, rather than the rear.

Place radiator

Third, under the window is a radiator which does not allow to mount the sink against a wall. True radiator can be transferred or removed, if the room is warm enough. But in the winter cold comes from the window, and a sink - source of increased moisture and condensation inevitable in the absence of the heating system therebetween.

If the radiator under the window sill to leave, you need to take into account that for the circulation of warm air, it is necessary to make holes in the work surface of the table.

In these holes, as well as the window and the curtains will fall sprays of water and food, which can lead to the appearance of insects and bacteria.

On the radiator are often regulators and valves. Should consider how to provide them with easy access, if needed.

Seclusion from the window because of the heat sink and the width of the cleaning process may hinder the washing windows.

If the sill or frame of wood, the moisture they can spoil timber.

Supply and drain water

It will also have to extend the eyeliner water and sewage sludge from the original sink mounting location. The longer the distance, the greater the likelihood of clogging sewer pipes from fat food. But alternatively can be installed under the sink dispouzer - Chopper food waste.

Yet, the cleaning arrangement is really a very attractive option. Especially when there is a beautiful view from the window.
