Sinks

The sink represents the most frequently used fixture in your bathroom, serving countless daily functions from hand washing to face cleansing to tooth brushing. Our collection encompasses sinks designed for every installation type, style preference, and functional requirement. Quality construction, thoughtful design, and durable materials ensure these essential fixtures perform reliably while contributing to your bathroom's overall aesthetic for years to come.

Installation Types for Every Situation

Bathroom sinks come in several distinct installation styles, each with specific advantages and ideal applications. Understanding these types helps you select the right sink for your space and design vision.

Drop-In Sinks

Drop-in or self-rimming sinks feature a lip that rests on top of the countertop, with the basin dropping into a cutout below. This installation style is among the most straightforward, making it popular for both new construction and renovation projects. The visible rim creates a clear boundary between sink and counter. Installation doesn't require specialized skills or tools beyond cutting the opening. The rim does create a slight ledge where water and debris can accumulate, requiring regular cleaning to maintain a pristine appearance.

Undermount Sinks

Undermount sinks install beneath the countertop, attaching from below so no rim is visible from above. This creates a seamless flow from counter to sink that's both visually clean and functionally advantageous—spills and crumbs wipe directly into the sink without catching on a rim. The installation requires solid countertop materials like stone, quartz, or solid surface that can support the sink weight and accept a polished edge. Professional installation ensures proper support and waterproof sealing. The result is a refined, contemporary look that simplifies countertop maintenance.

Vessel Sinks

Vessel sinks sit atop the counter like decorative bowls, creating dramatic visual impact. They range from fully above-counter models to semi-recessed designs that nestle partially into the countertop. Vessel sinks work as artistic focal points, available in countless shapes, materials, and finishes. They pair with tall faucets specifically designed for the elevated bowl height. Installation is relatively simple, typically requiring only a drain hole. The exposed basin means cleaning the exterior as well as interior, and water can splash onto the counter more easily than with recessed sinks.

Wall-Mounted Sinks

Wall-mounted sinks attach directly to the wall without a vanity or cabinet below. This approach maximizes floor space visibility, making bathrooms feel more open—especially valuable in compact powder rooms. The exposed plumbing can be left visible for industrial aesthetics or concealed with decorative shrouds. Wall-mounted installation requires proper blocking within walls to support the sink weight. Without surrounding cabinetry, storage must come from elsewhere—wall cabinets, shelving, or furniture pieces. These sinks suit minimalist designs and accessible bathrooms where wheelchair approach is necessary.

Pedestal Sinks

Pedestal sinks combine a wall-mounted basin with a decorative pedestal column that provides support while concealing plumbing. They offer classic elegance with a furniture-like presence, particularly popular in traditional and vintage-inspired bathrooms. Like wall-mounted models, pedestal sinks save floor space and create visual openness, though they similarly sacrifice storage. The pedestal itself comes in various styles from ornate traditional designs to sleek modern columns. Installation requires coordinating the basin and pedestal heights with plumbing rough-in locations.

Console Sinks

Console sinks feature basins supported by leg structures—typically two or four legs made from metal, wood, or chrome. The open framework provides support while maintaining the airy feeling of wall-mounted and pedestal options. Some console designs include small shelves or towel bars between legs, adding minimal storage or convenience features. These sinks bring furniture-style character to bathrooms, bridging the gap between freestanding sinks and full vanities.

Size and Bowl Configuration

Bathroom sinks range dramatically in size to accommodate different spaces and usage patterns. Compact sinks under 16 inches wide work in tiny powder rooms where every inch matters. Standard sinks measure 18-24 inches, suitable for most single-user bathrooms. Larger sinks exceeding 30 inches provide generous workspace—useful in master baths with ample counter area. Bowl depth affects functionality too; shallow basins minimize splash but offer less washing space, while deeper bowls (6-8 inches) contain water better and accommodate larger tasks.

Single Versus Double Bowl

Most bathroom sinks feature single bowls optimized for individual use. However, double-bowl sinks exist for situations where two people need simultaneous access to the same fixture. These are distinct from double-sink vanities (which have two completely separate sinks) and instead feature two basins within one fixture. Double-bowl sinks are less common in residential bathrooms but appear in some commercial and institutional applications.

Material Excellence

Sink materials affect durability, maintenance, appearance, and price. Each material brings distinct characteristics to consider.

Vitreous China

Vitreous china (ceramic with a glass-like glaze) represents the traditional bathroom sink material. It offers a smooth, non-porous surface that resists staining and cleans easily. The heavy, substantial feel conveys quality. The glossy finish maintains its appearance for decades without dulling or yellowing. While durable, vitreous china can chip if struck with heavy objects. The material works across all installation types and suits traditional to contemporary styles.

Porcelain

Porcelain sinks provide similar characteristics to vitreous china—smooth, non-porous, easy to clean, and long-lasting. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, though porcelain technically refers to the base material before glazing. Quality porcelain sinks maintain brilliant white finishes and resist scratches from daily use. Like vitreous china, porcelain is heavy and can chip under impact but otherwise provides decades of reliable service.

Solid Surface

Solid surface sinks made from acrylic-based materials offer seamless integration with countertops of the same material. The non-porous composition resists staining and bacterial growth. Minor scratches can be buffed out, essentially renewing the surface. Solid surface accepts various colors and even custom inlays for distinctive appearances. The material feels warm to the touch compared to ceramic or stone. It works particularly well for undermount installations where sink and counter become one continuous surface.

Glass

Glass vessel sinks create stunning visual focal points with transparency or translucent colors that interact with light beautifully. Tempered glass construction provides strength and safety—if breakage occurs, the glass fractures into small, less dangerous pieces. Glass requires more frequent cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance, as water spots and soap residue show readily. The material works almost exclusively in vessel configurations where its beauty is fully visible.

Stone and Concrete

Natural stone sinks carved from granite, marble, or other stone types deliver organic beauty with unique veining and coloration in each piece. Stone provides substantial weight and luxury aesthetics. Some stone is porous and requires sealing to resist staining. Concrete sinks offer industrial-chic character with customizable shapes and integral coloring. Both materials work well in rustic, contemporary, or eclectic designs where distinctive character is desired.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel sinks bring commercial durability and contemporary aesthetics to residential bathrooms. The material resists corrosion, tolerates impacts, and cleans easily. Brushed finishes hide water spots better than polished surfaces. Stainless steel suits modern and industrial design schemes. The material is lightweight compared to ceramic options and produces more noise during water flow unless sound-dampening materials are applied to the underside.

Copper and Bronze

Copper and bronze sinks make bold design statements with warm metallic finishes that develop patina over time. The living finish changes character as it ages, creating unique appearance that many find appealing. These metals possess natural antimicrobial properties. They require different maintenance than other sink materials—certain cleaners can damage the finish. Copper sinks work beautifully in rustic, Mediterranean, and eclectic bathroom designs.

Shape Variety

Beyond functional considerations, sink shape contributes significantly to design character. Rectangular sinks offer clean-lined modernity and maximize interior basin space. Oval sinks provide softer, more traditional aesthetics with gentle curves. Round sinks create focal points, particularly in vessel configurations. Square sinks deliver contemporary geometry and often incorporate rounded interior corners for easy cleaning. Irregular organic shapes in vessel sinks become artistic statements that transcend pure function.

Overflow Features

Many bathroom sinks include overflow openings—small holes near the basin rim that drain excess water if the sink is left running. This safety feature prevents overflows that could damage floors and ceilings below. The overflow connects to the drain pipe below the visible basin. While functional, overflows can be difficult to clean and may harbor bacteria if neglected. Some contemporary designs omit overflows for cleaner aesthetics, relying on user attention to prevent overflows.

Faucet Hole Configurations

Sinks come pre-drilled with various faucet hole configurations or no holes at all. Single-hole sinks accommodate modern single-handle faucets or require deck plates to adapt three-piece faucet sets. Three-hole configurations (typically on 4-inch or 8-inch centers) suit traditional widespread faucets with separate hot and cold handles plus spout. Some sinks include additional holes for accessories like soap dispensers. Vessel sinks often have no holes since faucets mount to the counter or wall instead. Understanding your faucet requirements before purchasing ensures compatibility.

ADA and Accessibility Compliance

Accessible bathrooms require sinks that accommodate wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. ADA-compliant sinks must provide knee clearance underneath—at least 27 inches high, 30 inches wide, and 11-25 inches deep depending on configuration. Wall-mounted and console sinks naturally provide this clearance. The sink rim height should be 34 inches maximum from the floor. Faucets must be operable with one hand without tight grasping or twisting. These considerations ensure bathrooms serve users of all abilities.

Commercial Versus Residential

While our collection focuses on residential applications, some sink types overlap with commercial use. Residential sinks prioritize aesthetics alongside function, with designer finishes and decorative elements. Commercial sinks emphasize durability, ease of maintenance, and ADA compliance for public access. Heavy-duty construction, vandal-resistant mounting, and simplified cleaning characterize commercial models. For residential applications demanding exceptional durability—perhaps in rental properties or high-traffic family bathrooms—commercial-grade options merit consideration.

Maintenance Considerations

Sink maintenance requirements vary by material and finish. Smooth glazed surfaces like vitreous china and porcelain clean easily with standard bathroom cleaners and resist staining naturally. Glass requires frequent wiping to maintain clarity and prevent water spot buildup. Stone may need periodic sealing to maintain stain resistance. Metal sinks develop patina or require polishing depending on the desired appearance. Textured surfaces hide water spots better but provide more surface area where grime can accumulate. Consider your cleaning preferences when selecting sink materials and finishes.

Coordinating With Your Bathroom

The ideal sink complements your bathroom's overall design direction. Traditional bathrooms benefit from classic white porcelain drop-in or undermount sinks with graceful curves. Contemporary spaces suit geometric vessel sinks, rectangular undermount models, or sleek wall-mounted designs. Transitional bathrooms work well with simple oval undermount sinks that bridge traditional and modern. Eclectic or artistic bathrooms can embrace bold vessel sinks in distinctive materials and colors that serve as focal points.
