Hello,
I have a few essential questions that I would like to have answered ;)
Let's assume I'm planning with a faucet from the brand Duravit.
What exactly do I need to know to install it "properly"? Can I use any random mounting element, e.g. from Grohe, in the drywall? Does it matter which siphon or angle valve I use?
I am reluctant to rely solely on the advice in specialty stores, as in my opinion the sales aspect always takes precedence there.
Now let's come to the washbasin.
I would like to have a washstand. I assume that due to the non-hanging installation, the weight of the washbasin including the full contents must be completely supported by the washstand along with the legs, and that this is not a problem.
My installation approach would be (layman’s assessment):
- Attach basin to washstand and seal with silicone
- The washstand (standing) is attached to the wall. Here I am thinking of "gluing instead of drilling" so that I don't have to make extra drill holes in the tiles. The force vectors are primarily in the xy-plane. I assume there will be no tension, negligible compression, and if so then shear forces.
Thank you very much for your answers!
