Corner Sink Design Innovations
Corner sink designs have evolved into a strong design alternative. In the past, plumbing fixtures were strictly ‘utility' sinks, limited narrowly to cleaning jobs. Looks and style in a kitchen or bathroom sink were considered unnecessary affectations. Sink positioning was driven entirely by the shortest lowest cost plumbing line from water source and draining. Breaking these past design constraints are the new generation of corner sinks, exploiting dynamic space-maximizing shapes as well as an expanding palette of colors and finish option. Read on for a consumer's guide to corner sink design possibilities for your home or office.
- Kitchen Corner Sink Designs. Most of the major cabinet manufacturers offer a range of kitchen corner sink models. Consider ‘breaking up' the standard cabinet run dominated by straight lines and conventional positioning assumptions by exploring a kitchen corner sink placed within an asymmetrical corner base cabinet. You get a ‘fresh' and original location plus your corner sink anchors the corner formed by adjoining work spaces or free countertop area where plates and utensils are returned for cleaning. Similarly, food preparation space to either the left or right of the kitchen corner sink puts you in a smart position to wash and prepare meal items in close proximity to all work and cook areas.
- Bathroom Corner Sink. Think smart designing and space saving when exploring the possibilities of a bathroom corner sink placement. In order to get the best results, determine initially whether you can move your plumbing fixture to an interior corner wall, so as to avoid any extra insulating associated with placement against external walls. In either instance, a bathroom corner sink occupies traditionally ‘dead space', freeing up room to place a vanity and mirror or other bathroom furnishings. Plumbing mechanicals are straight forward, with connecting lines feeding into the wall based corner sink.
- Pedestal Corner Sink. Think about combining the columnar elegance of a pedestal with the space-saving efficiency of a corner sink. You get a great choice of material and finish options including porcelain, glass, stone, and retro designer stainless steel as available in certain custom sink lines. Your plumbing mechanicals for a pedestal corner sink provide for connection to water and drain lines either from below or along the pedestal column, with little reveal showing.
- Bar And Utility Corner Sinks. Function specific bar and utility corner sink models are available. Bar corner sinks are sized more narrowly in standard 15 inch by 15 inch models to 13 inch by 17 inch designs, or larger 17 inch by 22 inch models with depths of 5 inch to 6 inch. Meanwhile, utility corner sinks expand dimensions to as much as 32 inch by 22 inch by 10 inch depth in order to satisfy the cleaning requirements of larger objects.
- Materials And Finishes. Corner sinks reflect the wider market where you can get a wide selection of materials and finishes. A good initial selection is the stainless steel corner sink, available in 18 and 20 gauge weights and offered in a range of sizes and sharp edged shapes. In terms of installation options, you can get self rimming models or undermount corner sinks which are bracketed below your counter top line. Alternative materials include granite, custom hammered copper, vitreous china or cast iron corner sinks.
