Bathroom Sink Buying Guide
We have prepared this bathroom sink buying guide for you, dear readers of Luxshir’s website, and we hope it will be useful for you. Typically, these sinks are designed to be installed while standing and can be fitted onto various types of sinks. However, what sets them apart is their height, which can be tall or short depending on the type of sink and faucet used.
Therefore, when purchasing, it’s essential to be familiar with the type of sink and its drainage outlet. Stay with us as we introduce you to the various types of bathroom sinks and their functions, helping you to choose the right faucet accordingly.
Countertop (Bowl) Bathroom Sink
Bowl sinks are countertop sinks that sit on your bathroom counter. These sinks include a hole for installing the faucet directly onto the sink, allowing you to use various types of deck-mounted faucets. Depending on whether your bowl sink is deep or shallow, you can choose between tall or short faucets.
Drop-In Bathroom Sink
This type of bathroom sink is also a countertop model that is installed on the counter (cabinet). Its easy and cost-effective installation has made it popular. Using this setup means that you cannot use deck-mounted faucets and will need to install the faucet directly on the counter. This adds to the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom, but you should consider that due to the height and distance of this sink from the counter, you will need a tall faucet.
It is worth mentioning that Luxshir offers a range of tall faucets in classic, modern, and neo-classic styles, which can completely solve the issues related to using drop-in sinks.
Undermount Bathroom Sink (Integrated with Counter)
This type of sink is placed inside the cabinet and comes in various types depending on how it’s used. If you don’t need much cabinet space, you can opt for a seamless model that fits perfectly inside the cabinet. This model gives your bathroom a smooth, unified appearance, and since the faucet components are directly placed inside the cabinet, it minimizes water spillage onto the bathroom floor.
However, if you value having a cabinet in your bathroom and want to maintain a modern look while having storage space, consider a raised sink. This type allows you to make the most of the small space in front of the cabinet while still providing sufficient storage inside. Additionally, when purchasing a faucet, consider the depth of the sink in relation to the thickness of the countertop to ensure you choose the appropriate tall or short faucet based on your needs.
Wall-Mounted Bathroom Sink
As the name suggests, this model does not require a counter for installation and is mounted on the wall, with no contact with the floor. Wall-mounted sinks, with their simple design, enhance the visibility of bathroom flooring and make the space appear larger. These sinks are particularly beneficial when the plumbing is concealed within the walls; otherwise, it’s better to use pedestal sinks, where the pedestal hides the exposed pipes, preserving the aesthetic appearance of the space.
