One of the most enjoyable parts of home remodeling can be choosing fixtures and fittings, which may include round basins for the bathroom.
There are several kinds of round basins, and you should decide which
one fits your vanity, your lifestyle and your décor. You’ll be able to choose
from a wide variety of faucets and hardware to go with your new sink as well.
If you’ve decided on a simple model and are handy around the house, you may
even save some money by installing it yourself.
Your first step when choosing round basins will be to decide between freestanding vessels, under-counters, or pedestal sinks.
A vanity top with a round hole can take an under-counter
model, mounted under the surface like a kitchen sink, or a drop-in self-rimming
basin with a rolled edge. Most standard pedestal sinks are elliptical or a
half-round with a flat back so they don’t stick out so far from the wall, thus
saving space in a smaller bath. Their biggest disadvantage is a lack of storage
under the sink.
After you’ve decided on your installation, the décor will
help to determine your choice of color. Basic drop-in or under-counter styles
are usually white porcelain, in standard sizes. Many people like plain white
for cost savings, versatility in decorating and resale value. In an
ultra-modern bath, stainless steel round
basins like that found in bar sinks are an unusual and striking choice.
By the time your round basins are installed, you should have
chosen a faucet for it. Most round
basins types have holes suitable for a standard 4-inch (10.2 cm) center
faucet set with a spout and two separate handles. This is the most widely seen
kind of bathroom faucet. Vessels will need a longer spout in order to clear the
edge of the bowl. There are wall-mounted options available that work well with
these.
