Abstract
A washbasin assembly includes comprising a base body (3) with a top recess (19) having a drainage opening (15) formed therein. A surface of the top recess slopes in the direction of the drainage opening (15). The base body (3) is formed from hard foam carrying a waterproof layer (13) at least on its upwardly facing surfaces, on which in turn, an adhesion-promoting layer (14) is arranged which promotes adhesion of thin-bed mortar or filler material, the base body (3) formed from a plurality of cut-to-size rigid foam panels (8, 9, 10, 11), which are arranged one above the other and are firmly bonded to one another.

A washbasin assembly (1), comprising a base body (3) with a top recess (19) having a drainage opening (15) formed therein, a surface of the top recess sloping in the direction of the drainage opening (15), wherein the base body (3) includes upwardly facing surfaces formed from one (11) of a plurality of rigid foam panels, the upwardly facing surfaces carrying a waterproof layer (13) having an adhesion-promoting layer (14) arranged thereon, the adhesion-promoting layer promoting adhesion of thin-bed mortar or filler material to the upwardly facing surfaces, the base body (3) formed from a plurality of cut-to-size rigid foam panels (8, 9, 10, 11) bonded to one another.
A method of forming a washbasin base body (3), comprising:
- arranging a plurality of cut-to-size rigid foam panels (8, 9, 10, 11) one above the other and bonding one to another;
- the resultant base body (3) having a top recess (19) having a drainage opening (15) formed therein, a surface of the top recess sloping in the direction of the drainage opening (15);
- the resultant base body (3) being formed from rigid foam carrying a waterproof layer (13) at least on its upwardly facing surfaces, on which in turn, an adhesion-promoting layer (14) is arranged which promotes adhesion of thin-bed mortar or filler material.
A washbasin assembly (1), comprising:
- a base body (3) formed from at least four cut-to-size rigid foam panels;
- the foam panels including at least:
- a lower rigid foam panel (8);
- a first supporting rigid foam panel (9) arranged atop the lower rigid foam panel;
- a second supporting rigid foam panel (10) arranged atop the second supporting rigid foam panel;
- and
- an upper rigid foam panel (11);
- the upper rigid foam panel (11) including an angled panel (22) section that extends through the first supporting rigid foam panel (9) and through the second supporting rigid foam panel (10) to the lower rigid foam panel (8).
