The pedestal bathroom sinks are the most common type of sink that is seen in bathrooms of most homes all over this world. It is also the most popular type of bathroom sinks. They are mounted on a single column or legs. The most common pedestal sinks is of the porcelain material and are now available in different sizes and fast colors that add beauty and elegance to the modern bathrooms. Wall mount sinks are fixed to the wall with the sinks mounted on the metal rods drilled into the wall. This is the only support for the basin of the sink. The only advantage of this sink is that the plumbing will not be visible on the outside of the wall. The vanity sink is probably the most commonly found sink. Here the sink bowl is under mounted inside any countertop and has a cabinet storage space beneath it and all the plumbing is concealed inside the cabinet.
If you don’t mind the extra work, you can increase (or decrease) the size of the sink in your kitchen. If you have a small kitchen and feel like you need to downsize your large sink, you’ll need to replace some or all of your countertop. On the other hand, if you have a large kitchen, large family, or simply love to cook, your small sink may not be sufficient and an upsize is in order, in which case you’ll need to cut the sink hole larger (which may require special tools).
Enamel cast iron sinks and ceramic sinks look elegant and tend to be very durable. But they are also expensive when compared to stainless steel sinks. Water drumming is almost absent in them and cleaning them is very easy. Sinks made of copper, brass and also natural stones are available. Copper is easy to maintain and has natural resistance to microorganisms. Brass is tough to maintain but can give out a great rustic look. Sinks made of natural stones are heavy, but easy to maintain and are durable. Composite sinks are made from a mixture of two substances. It is sturdy and durable, but is prone to scratching.
Vessel sinks are sinks that sit on top of a counter rather than being lowered into or mounted under it. Most often the vessel is a round bowl shaped vessel but the basin can be any size or shape. Other than bowls, square basins are popular. Vessel sinks can be made out of a variety of materials but the most popular are glass, stone, or metal. The vessel can sit directly on the counter or on a base which builds it up more. If you have this kind of sink you need to think carefully about the faucets that you use. They need to be able to get the water up and over the vessel edge and the controls need to be easily accessible. Vessel sinks are trendy and are most often seen in homes that feature modern design and decorating. You can use a vessel sink in any bathroom that has counter space.
The third main type of sink is the pedestal sink. This arrangement is just what it sounds like. There is a basin supported by a single pedestal in the middle. The pedestal is usually of great girth and sometimes quite ornamental. These sinks are best in small powder rooms where space is extremely limited. The fourth type of sink is also suited to small spaces and that is the wall-mounted sink. These sinks take up even less room than the pedestal sink because there is nothing under them. The sink is attached directly to the wall. They are very easy to clean, but you should not consider this type of sink if you have children. Children so not always understand that you can’t put extra weight on a wall-mounted sink and they will lean on it. This could cause a disaster if the sink pulls away from the wall.
