Laundry Tub

The last of the fittings that hold water is the Laundry tub. An often-overlooked item by designers but as important as any other item in wet areas of the home.

As with all the other items it can come in a variety of finishes such as the traditional concrete hoppers to porcelain on steel.

As for the kitchen, the preference is for stainless steel in an area that items are cleaned e.g. food or clothes.

Nowadays laundry tubs are usually integrated into a metal cabinet with the taps and spout for the tub already fitted and with the taps for the washing machine already fitted. For these fittings there are a few items to check for.

The robustness of the tub. This is an area that will get a great deal of hard use from soaking items with chemical cleansers to someone cleaning heavy boots in the tub.

The taps are likely to be turned when your hands are wet and slippery so close attention has to be given to being able to turn the tap in that situation.
