A vessel sink is a sink that rests on a vanity countertop or on top of a piece of furniture. This article is not just going to tell you about all of the different kinds of vessel sink vanities but it will tell you how to install vessel sinks as well!
There are different styles that vessel sinks come in. Primarily bathroom vessel sinks and vessel sink vanities or a combination bathroom vanity cabinet sink that is also pretty popular. The unique characteristic of any type of vessel sink vanity is that it sits on top of a surface. You may see a sink that sits inside of a bathroom countertop that is called a vessel sink by the manufacturer, in most cases this will not be what you are interested in.
Vessel sinks, whether they are the sink vanities, the bathroom vessels or the bathroom cabinet sinks, chances are that you chose the vessel sink because it is different from your typical bathroom sink. Vessel sinks show your home's personal style in a much more direct way than a simple sink that is a basic basin, just sitting there inside the bathroom counter.
You will find many vessel sink vanities to choose from. The fact is, there are as many vessel sinks to choose from as there are people's personalities. Your choices are numerous, vessel sink vanity colors, designs and materials cover almost any designing idea you could conceive. The vessel sinks for the bathroom are sometimes just a basin that is made to sit on top of your existing countertop (which will have to be remodeled when you take out the old sink) and sometimes they are a freestanding bathroom cabinet sink.
Of course you must install it in order to gain the beauty offered by a vessel sink. This is not much unlike the installation of any other sink and can be a little complicated. Step-by-step vessel sink installation instructions are available on websites devoted to this task, however it is highly suggested that you follow the instructions from the sinks manufacturer. This involves more than just building cabinetry and countertop then attaching the sink on top. Vessel sinks are functional and have the requisite plumbing and pipes that ensure practical beauty.
Yes, you will be able to design your own functional work of art to mirror your personal style. The cookie cutter sink that comes with your home's bathroom, unless you are actually building your house yourself, will be a distant memory once you install your vessel sink. But if you plan a DIY vessel vanity installation make sure to acquire at least basic plumbing and construction knowledge and skills before attempting the installation. As simple as is it looks plumbing can be somewhat complicated. Once installed, every time it is used marvel at the vessel sink vanity that reflects your personality.
