What To Consider Before Purchasing A Bathroom Sink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you begin looking at bathroom basins, it\u2019s good to ask yourself where and how this basin will be used. Different rooms would have different space constraints \u2013\u2013 for example, a powder room would require a smaller basin as compared to the family bathroom \u2013\u2013 which may limit the variety of basins that you can choose<\/a> from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be smart about choosing your basins \u2013\u2013 if you\u2019re looking to use it primarily for washing hands, choose a smaller basin with a shallow depth. Purchasing a bigger and wider basin would only cost you additional money for a function that you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it\u2019s important to note that different basins are designed to be installed in different ways. For example, wall-mounted basins do not require a countertop, whereas under-mount sinks need to be fixed on the underside of the countertop. Hence, you should think about the landscape of your room beforehand, and choose a basin that suits the infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, you\u2019ll need to choose a suitable tap to go with your bathroom basin. Each basin is uniquely designed and hence would require different types of taps to go along with it. Some basins have two tap holes, which would require hot and cold taps, whilst others only have a central taphole, which requires a mixer tap instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different Types of Basins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you consider the different forms of basins below, do consider the above pointers. We admit that choosing one can be quite intimidating, but it becomes so much easier once you know what you\u2019re looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Pedestal Basins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Full pedestal basins have long been the bathroom staple \u2013\u2013 especially for those searching for modern family bathroom basins \u2013\u2013 as it can fit a wide range of layouts and spaces. The basin is supported by a pedestal that reaches to the floor, providing the sink with extra sturdiness and stability. Plus, the pedestal sits between the underside of the sink and the floor, which allows it to hide the external pipework and plumbing. It\u2019s the perfect option if you\u2019re looking for a durable, functional yet aesthetically pleasing bathroom sink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, do note that full pedestal basins tend to be the largest of basin designs, hence it might not be able to fit bathrooms with a tighter space constraint. If you\u2019re looking for a smaller design, you might want to check out the semi pedestal basins instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Semi Pedestal Basins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similar to full pedestal basins, semi pedestal basins are hung to the wall and can cover external pipework, all whilst adding a classy yet modern feel to your bathroom layout. Pro tip: if you\u2019re looking for something easy to clean, you might prefer the semi to the full pedestal basin instead, as the absence of a full pedestal makes cleaning and maintaining the bathroom<\/a> significantly easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before purchasing a semi pedestal basin, you must be confident that the wall is sturdy enough to support the full weight of the basin. Sturdy walls like brick or ceramic won\u2019t require extra reinforcement, but less sturdy walls such as stud walls would require further precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washstand Basins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a sleek and classic look, check out these washstand basins \u2013\u2013 it\u2019s the perfect addition to any modern or traditional bathrooms! Exuding sophistication and modernity, these basins are fitted with gorgeous ceramic material and chrome detailing, adding the touch of authenticity you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corner Basins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the pedestal basins, corner basins are fully supported by the walls as well. They\u2019re a great way to spruce up your bathroom layout, or a handy solution if you\u2019re tight on space, as its unique design allows them to be fitted into the right angular corners of your bathroom. These basins are especially popular for cloakrooms or smaller bathrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countertop Basins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"countertop<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If your bathroom has limited space, you might want to check out these countertop basins \u2013\u2013 they help provide the functionality of a basin, whilst not compromising your cabinet storage space. Plus, these basins can easily create an attention-grabbing statement and bring your bathroom decor<\/a> to the next level. Upon your purchase, do remember to pair this with a tall basin tap or several wall-mounted basin taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanity Top Basins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s pretty common for off-the-shelf vanity mirrors to come with a basin sink molded as part of the countertop. The basins can be crafted with various materials, such as acrylic, ceramic, or porcelain. Such basins help to maximize your storage options, whilst bringing a hint of modernity and creativity to any bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, having a sink as part of your vanity table makes it all the easier to clean. Without any external ridges and seams, the basins are more or less streamlined in design, making it a great basin to have in a busy family bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Is A Bathroom Sink Made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As each sink is uniquely made, the materials used are often not standardized across all basins. The material that you select will reflect on what function you want your basin to serve \u2013\u2013 be it for aesthetic purposes, for durability, comfortability, etc. For example, ceramic sinks are often the go-to material as it is simple, clean, and minimalistic; this can help to emphasize a bathroom\u2019s cleanliness and level of hygiene. It is the most popular amongst family bathrooms. On the other hand, resinous material is usually used for vanity sinks, as it is cheap, sturdy, and durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners of today are often bombarded with seemingly endless bathroom sink and accessory choices, covering a spectrum of types, colors, and shapes. We hope that this guide has broken down several models and designs that can help make your buying process less daunting and enjoyable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
