Designing For Your Porcelain Sink Bathroom Remodel
Gone are those days when you had a small selection of "basic" porcelain sink models to choose from. Reflecting trends across the home improvement industry, bathroom porcelain sink manufacturers now incorporate a wide color palette as well as space saving corner sink and pedestal models. Your home improvement possibilities have never been so good. You'll get great designs, stylish looks, and low Internet pricing. Look over a summary of the design push taking place in the bathroom.
- Pedestals For A Cool Sophisticated Look. Unless you require under compartment storage space, you should eliminate those boxy base cabinets from your design, opting instead for the slim elegance of a pedestal porcelain sink. Columnar, finished in highly polished or matte finish, in a wide range of colors, a pedestal porcelain sink set up reduces bathroom clutter plus saves space.
- Porcelain Sink Color Choices. In the off-the-shelf segment, bathroom porcelain sinks come in a range of colors, from white and bisque, to pink, blue, green, yellow, burgundy, gray and even browns and blacks. In effect, you can get virtually any primary color. Importantly, home owner popularity and volume in porcelain sinks has kept prices low for decades, so any family can readily afford even a minor remodel.
- Self Rimming Versus Undermount Designs. If you'll need counter top space, then your porcelain sink can be installed in either of two basic configurations. Top down or self rimming sinks have a 1 inch flange on all sides, allowing the installer to affix the unit on your counter top, exploiting the force of gravity to keep the unit in place indefinitely. Alternatively, an undermount porcelain sink requires interior brackets and mounting hardware to affix the unit within your base cabinet, flush with the lower edge of your counter top. The advantage of the undermount model is that you obtain a clean top surface, absent any sink "lip" to collect dirt.
- Corner, Vessel And Utility Porcelain Sinks. Consider a corner sink design if you want to smartly fill "dead space". Similarly, 16 inch diameter vessel sink designs, as well as 18 inch oval and 14 inch round models are available for you to make your bathroom truly unique. In backroom laundry or even protected outdoors locations, you can consider installing an utility porcelain sink, dimensions ranging up to 33 inches wide by 18 inch to 21 inches front to back and depths ranging from 5 inch to 7 inches.
