Bathroom Sinks
The Bathroom Sink
The bathroom sink is the overall style and appearance of the bathroom. It's used for hygiene, convenience and aesthetics. The bathroom sink requires a drain of some type to control and discharge waste water and a faucet to supply hot and cold water to the sink.
The Vanity, The Pedestal, The Wall Mount and the Vessel Sink are four types of bathroom sinks found in today's residential bathrooms.
The sink types explained:
-
The Vanity Sink is a combination of a sink and the storage structure around it. Vanity sinks are designed to fit the cabinet they sit on, and the cabinet normally is attached to the wall. The cabinet mostly hides the plumbing and used for storage.
-
The Pedestal Sink is a free-standing sink that sits on a pedestal or column. Pedestal sinks are simple bathroom sinks. Pedestal sinks are durable and have a smaller footprint. These sinks are often used in small bathrooms because they take up less space.
-
The Wall-Mount Sink is a type of sink that's attached directly to the wall, rather than being supported by a vanity or pedestal. They are free standing, exposing the drain and water supply line but takes up the least amount of space. Older wall mount sinks used to be equipped with sink legs for added support.
-
The Vessel Sink is a type of sink that sits directly on top of a bathroom counter or vanity, rather than being installed below or partially recessed into the countertop, essentially appearing as a bowl sitting on the surface. It's often considered a design statement due to its prominent position above the counter.

Bathroom sink Faucet
Bathroom sink faucets come in three styles: Wide Spread, 4-inch center-set and Single Hole. The single hole faucet is self explanatory. The widespread faucet is a 3-piece faucet were the spout and 2-handle are totally separate. The 4-inch center set faucet is one solid faucet. This faucet can be purchased with double or single handle functions. It's best to replace the bathroom sink faucet when it fails rather than repairing it due to limitation in repair parts availability.
