Designer Sinks And Faucets For Your Bath
Sinks have certainly come a long way. The
sink, and the accompanying faucet are more fashionable today than
our grandmothers, or even our mothers could have imagined! You are
only limited by your imagination.
Imagine a gorgeous glass sink seemingly floating upon a rod iron
filigree base, this is what is called a vessel sink. Imagine washing
your hands over a glass sink of shimmering gold opalescent that
looks like something from Dale Chihuly's glass studio. How about a
lovely ceramic sink that has decorations reminiscent of a blue Ming
vase? Is that really the Mona Lisa looking back up at your from that
sink? These sinks are available in glass, painted ceramic, stone and
granite, wood, copper, or mosaic. Then, there is the decision of
shape of the sink, round, oval or square, or perhaps somewhere in
between.
Don't worry, if you have a Victorian home you are restoring you are
in luck. The good old white ceramic pedestal sink is still alive and
well, if you want one.
Needless to say, along with the modernization and beautification of
sinks has come the modernization and beautification of faucets!
There are still the traditional two handle faucets, single control
faucets and wall mount faucets. Again, only your imagination holds
you back in the creation of your new bathroom. Faucets can now be
mounted on the floor behind, or beside a vessel sink instead of
taking room on a vanity. Faucets for vessel sinks are found in a
wide range of finish and style. Polished chrome or brushed nickel,
brass, copper and pewter are just some of the finishes available.
You will want to look for a faucet with a PVD finish. This "physical
vapor deposition" finish is state of the art and bonds the finish to
the faucet. It is the most durable finish available in faucets
today. PVD protected faucets will not corrode, tarnish or discolor.
