Bathroom Sink Styles
There are Numerous Bathroom Sink Styles to
choose from when Remodeling a Bathroom
By: Mark J. Donovan

Bathroom sink styles range in variety
from simple drop in bathroom sinks to elegant vessel bathroom sinks. When
planning a bathroom remodeling project it is important to specify your choice of
bathroom sink along with the bathroom vanity, toilet and tub/shower unit. Make
sure to visit your local plumbing supply store to check out the plethora of
bathroom sink styles before deciding upon one.
Bathroom Sink
Styles
Self rimming bathroom sink styles,
a.k.a. drop in sinks, are the least expensive and most common type of bathroom
sink on the market. |
|
To install a self rimming bathroom
sink, a hole needs to be cut in the bathroom countertop to allow the self
rimming bathroom sink to be dropped into the countertop.
Under-mounted bathroom sinks and
integral bathroom sink styles are mounted underneath the bathroom countertop
so that the sink edges are hidden from view. With under-mounted bathroom sink
styles, again a hole needs to be cut into the bathroom countertop to allow the
bathroom sink to mate to the underside of the bathroom countertop. |

|
With integral bathroom sink styles,
the sink is actually made out of the same material as the countertop and is
fused to the base of the countertop. An integral bathroom sink style creates a
seamless transition with the bathroom countertop.
Pedestal bathroom sink styles
have become very popular due to their elegance and minimalist look. With
pedestal bathroom sinks, a sink basin mounts on top of a pedestal base that
hides the drain and supply lines. Typically pedestal bathroom sink styles are
manufactured out of porcelain coated steel or vitreous china. |
The only disadvantage of pedestal
bathroom sink styles is that they do not provide undersink storage space and the
location of the rough plumbing needs to be precise, so sufficient up front
bathroom design planning is required.

Another common bathroom sink style is
wall mounted bathroom sinks. With wall mounted bathroom sinks, the sink
basin is actually hung on the bathroom wall. They can be flush mounted, recessed
mounted or semi-recessed mounted. Again, like pedestal bathroom sink styles, they
offer limited undersink storage capability. They do however, come in a variety
of shapes, sizes and styles.

Finally, there are vessel bathroom
sink styles. Vessel bathroom sink styles are large bowls that mount on top
of bathroom countertops and vanities. They are available in a variety of shapes,
sizes and styles. Vessel bathroom sink styles are manufactured in lead crystal,
fireclay, china, stainless steel, and cast iron to name just a few of the
material choices.
So when planning a bathroom
remodeling project, make sure to check out all of the various bathroom sink
styles before making a quick decision on a sink. There are simply just too many
other wonderful bathroom sink styles to choose from, to limit yourself to a
basic self rimming bathroom sink.
