Posted in Types
Whether you are installing a new bathroom vanity sink or upgrading your old bathroom, you will have to find the sink that’s right for your bathroom. It’s an important decision because you will probably be using that sink for a long time to come.
There is quite a selection of different bathroom sinks to choose from. Which one you pick depends on your taste, likes, style, bathroom theme, and budget. Bathroom vanity sinks can range from cheap to very expensive for people who want luxury or elegant bathrooms with jacuzzis or steam showers. If you have a hot tub, then a bathroom vanity is a good hiding place for unseemly supplies such as hot tub chemicals and other cleaners or filters.
If you have the space in your bathroom, double sink bathroom vanities are an excellent choice and definitely something to look into. It makes the most of the space you have available. Check your bathroom size as well as the size of the double sink bathroom vanity to see if you have enough room. If you do, it’s a great choice. Some things, we need to do in the bathroom alone, but for general grooming, more than one person can be in the bathroom at the same time. Double sinks provide plenty of counter space to place your bathroom belongings such as hair gels, hairsprays, brushes, deodorant, toothbrushes, soap dispensers and more.
The sinks in vanities are made from different materials and are installed differently. Stainless steel, metal, china, ceramic, porcelain, steel, fiberglass, stone, faux stone, enameled cast iron and acrylic are some of the materials used. They also have different benefits. Bathroom sink vanities are something to choose carefully when you are upgrading your bathroom since you will be using it everyday.
Stainless steel is easy to clean and maintain, plus it has a very modern look. It’s durable, yet it can get scratches. China and porcelain are common materials, but be careful if the bathroom is a children’s bathroom because they can get chipped. While china and porcelain have always been common, they are not the only choices and more people are choosing different materials for a better look to their bathroom. When shopping for the right sink for your bathroom, keep in mind the benefits or difficulties of the different materials as well as it’s appearance.
The most common ways to mount sinks are wall mounted, framed, pedestal, vessel, undermounted or drop in. The wall mounted sinks are installed directly onto a wall and provide the less space. This is one you want to stay away from if you are upgrading.
Framed sinks are installed right on top of a vanity counter. It has a frame that makes a seal between the sink and counter top.
Pedestal sinks are kind of like wall mounted sinks in that they provide little storage space and are mainly for smaller bathrooms.
The vessel sink is mounted on top of a vanity counter and the storage is placed underneath.
Undermounted sinks are called that because they are installed underneath the countertop. Undermounted sinks are found more and more in newer houses.
Drop in sinks are also installed on top of a vanity counter just like the framed sinks. However they do not have a frame to make a seal between the sink and counter top. Instead, drop in sinks have an oversized rim which is the trimming.
You probably didn’t know sinks could have such different options. Look at all the different types of bathroom sinks and vanities and ask questions to see which one is best for you and your bathroom.
