Sinks or lavatories, too, come in assorted sizes, shapes, and colors;
in materials such as porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, concrete, stainless
steel, copper, and natural stone - including marble, granite, limestone,
sandstone, and onyx. Even treated exotic wood basin-type and clear
or frosted glass sinks are available.
Pre-made vanities come complete, with a sink, countertop, and required
fixtures.
The various sink options include:
- Prefab vanities – ranging from a simple
one-sink design; priced around $350 to more elaborate multi-sink
designs for $1500 on up.
- Pedestal sinks – usually one piece fixtures
on a stem or foot that rises from the floor up to a graceful bowl
with fixtures. Commonly constructed from porcelain, but other
options include glass features, stainless steel or other metals,
and natural stone. Prices start from under $400 to $2000 and up.
-
Wall-mount and console sinks – made from
a variety of materials; including copper, natural stone, porcelain,
and stainless steel. They come in many design options, with accessories
such as cabinetry, towel cubicles, and mirrors. Prices range from
under $600 to over $6000.
- Vessel sinks – in a nearly endless variety
of styles, types, shapes, and colors from which to select; including
lavish ceramic with colorful flowers and elegant decorations.
For the most part, a vessel sink is simply a basin or bowl that
rests under a faucet. Some may come attached with a drain; others
are completely portable and may be picked up, moved, and emptied.
Prices range from under $200 to well over $1000.
- Self-rimming sinks – made to sit into
an opening on a countertop using a sealant; requiring no clamping
or other type attachment device. These, too, are available in
a variety of shapes and colors; with wide price margins depending
upon quality, material, and style.
- Undermount sinks – installed into a substrate
countertop, with the final counter surface installed right up
to the rim of the sink. Available in endless shapes, styles, colors,
and materials – including stainless steel, copper, nickel,
and glass; prices range in the $100s to $1000s.
With the seemingly endless selection of bathroom sinks and lavatories
from which to select, the possibilities for your bathroom design
are nearly infinite.
