Bathroom Sink faucets -Bathroom Design [2020]

No longer just a basin and a mirror, the sink area has become a carefully orchestrated environment for grooming and personal care. Layouts with two sinks housed in one continuous vanity, in side-by-side alcoves, or in matching configurations on opposite walls are a common sight. Some bathrooms also include a separate, smaller washbasin in the toilet compartment or makeup area.

Bathroom Sinks faucets have become design accents in their own right, a comparatively low-commitment way to add a bit of dash to an otherwise restrained design scheme. (If you later decide you don’t like the boldness, it’s a lot simpler to change a faucet than shower or tub surround.)

Sink options, new & old

Sinks are available in a huge array of styles, shapes, materials, and finishes. You can make the sink stand out or blend its look with that of a period-style tub, shower, or toilet fixture. Whether for an antique or ultramodern design, some sink manufacturers can provide custom colours on special orders.

Deck-mounted sinks

The vanity-bound fixture is still the most practical arrangement. You’ll find a wide selection of materials in deck-mounts: vitreous china, fibreglass-reinforced plastic, enamelled cast iron, and enamelled steel are most common. Fibreglass is lightweight and moderately priced but tends to scratch and dull. 

Bathroom Sink Faucets

(made with clay that’s poured into moulds, fired in a kiln, and glazed) is heavy, comes in many colours, and is easy to clean; it also resists scratches, chips, and stains. Enameled cast iron is more expensive and durable than vitreous china or enamelled steel but is very heavy. An enamelled steel surface is easy to clean and lighter and less expensive than vitreous china or enameled cast iron but also much less durable.

Brass and copper sinks are strikingly elegant as accents. But they require zealous maintenance, so you may want to reserve them for powder rooms, guest baths, or other low-use areas.

You also have a choice of mounting methods with various deck-mounted models. Self-rimming sinks with moulded overlaps are supported by the edge of the countertop cutout; flush deck-mounted sinks have surrounding metal strips to hold the basin to the countertop; unrimmed sinks are recessed under the countertop and held in place by metal clips.

Integral-bowl sinks. A solid-surface countertop can be coupled with a moulded, integral sink for a sleek, sculpted look. Sink colour can either match the countertop or complement it; for example, you might choose a cream-coloured sink below a granite-patterned counter. Edge-banding and other border options abound. Other integral sinks come in synthetic marble, vitreous china, and fibreglass.
