Vessel Sinks: Traditional but Modern
Some years ago if a bathroom had a vessel sink it meant that it was a considerably old room. Today to having a vessel lavatory is synonymous of modern. More people are considering vessel sinks for remodeling or new constructions. There are many different types of vessels to adapt to the room style.
There are vessels made out of diverse type of materials. The most common ones are made out of porcelain or glass. Other materials are natural stone, metal and wood. It is very important to check the specifications to clean the lavatory. There are some vessels made out of cooper that, if they don’t get dry with a cloth or paper after every use, the vessel will turn green. The vessel can be restored to its original brown color but it will require a lot of manual labor. Since more vendors are carrying vessels the availability of colors has increased. Another thing that has increased is the range of prices. The prices can go from under one hundred dollars to over thirty five hundred dollars.
Two very important things to consider when getting a vessel is the height of the vessel and the faucet. There are some vessels that are too short and when water splashes it gets the cabinet wet. Most cabinets are made of compressed wood or plywood. Plywood and compressed wood can get puffed-up with the water and damage the cabinet permanently. Some are too tall making it hard to find a vessel faucet that will work with it. When choosing the faucet for the vessel it is important to keep in mind the high of the vessel. Regular short lavatory faucets will not work with the vessels.
Vessels can be found round, square or with odd shapes. All these options available can give a more elegant look to any bathroom. Vessel sinks can make a bathroom look traditional but modern at the same time.
