Designing Differently With Glass Bathroom Sinks
Don't limit your creativity when sophisticated looking glass bath sink designs can complete your home improvement project. Temperature safe, hard wearing and long life vessel glass sinks lighten your bathroom plus give you an important space-saving design option. Look over some of the developments in glass sink designs and installation options in the consumer guide below.
- Color Choices. Glass sink bowl models now offer color options from translucent clear opaque, to blue, green, yellow, shades of red, lavender and more. Unlike vitreous china or stainless steel sinks, glass designs can extend the color range one step further by way of frosting the finish. You go from a high tech see-your-plumbing look to a bathroom glass sink with a muted suggestion of interior plumbing. Color coordination with flooring, walls, drapes, mirrors and so on has never been easier.
- Common Dimensions. In off the shelf models of bathroom glass sinks, you'll typically get bowl sizes from around 14 inches to over 17 inches in diameter, for round and elliptical shaped designs. Changing shapes, you can also get more conventional rectangular shaped glass sink models offering 20 inch width, around 15 inches front to back, and depths of between 4 inches to 6 inches. Glass bath sinks typically run more shallow than a kitchen sink at 7 inches to 10 inches.
Pedestal And Undermount Installations . Consider designing with a pedestal glass sink, with the bowl mounted on top. You'll save significant space, abandoning the often clumsy under cabinet, plus you'll achieve a tall elegant look. On the other hand, where storage space is necessary, then consider an undermount glass sink, positioned via mounting brackets just below your counter top level, yet within the underlying cabinet. You'll achieve a smooth clean look, plus you'll get the needed storage space.
- Materials And Temperature Safety. Similar to the materials used for hot temperature bake ware as well as laboratory dishes, your typical glass bath sink is manufactured in tempered glass or borosilicate. Even when you rapidly change incoming water from cold to hot, there's virtually no chance of breakage due to the underlying thermal properties.
