Here are a Few Tips for Choosing the Best Vessel Sink for Your Bathroom

Bathroom sinks with the vessel design are installed above the countertop instead of being mounted or recessed underneath it. This creates a unique appearance, with different shapes, materials, and designs available that can add an element of complexity to your bathroom design. That said, transitioning from an under-mount to a vessel sink may require a re-evaluation of the countertop, faucet, vanity height, drain, and overall design of the area to ensure everything functions as usual. We suggest following these tips to ensure you find the perfect fit for your bathroom:

Check for an overflow

It’s may be a good choice to choose a vessel sink with an overflow. An overflow is a feature that can help prevent in the event of a clogged drain (or if you accidentally leave the water running). The overflow also enables air circulation, so water flows down the drain without obstruction, preventing slow drainage.

Identify the sink’s height and ensure that it suits your vanity

The standard height for vanity was traditionally 31 inches, but nowadays, most standard vanities are about 36 inches tall, including the countertop’s height. If you have a standard-height vanity, consider the height of the sink to ensure it is at a comfortable level for you to use. 

If you want to adjust the vanity’s height, a floating vanity can be a good option because you can install it lower or higher on the wall. Be sure to plan the vanity’s placement at the start of your project to ensure appropriately placed plumbing.

Pick the right material

Vessel bathroom sinks are available in various materials that cater to different preferences and styles. The options include metals like copper and stainless steel, ceramics, glass, and stone, such as granite and marble. Consider the frequency of usage and the intended users when choosing an appropriate material.

Stone and copper can be great for lighter-use areas, like powder rooms. However, their maintenance requirements can be meticulous. If you need a sink for a high-traffic bathroom, stainless steel, glass, and porcelain are excellent options. They withstand regular use and chemical cleaners without requiring a lot of maintenance.
