The Benefits of Glass Vessel Sinks
You want to make a statement in your home, so why should you overlook a space like the bathroom? If you’re concerned that a bathroom overhaul would break the bank, just start small and work your way up. By making little alterations here and there, your dream bathroom will start to take shape.
One change that will garner positive attention is replacing the sink. A glass vessel sink is as functional as your old ceramic one, but far more appealing. Are you thinking of changing out your sink? Here are some benefits you’ll enjoy with your new glass sink.
Does your bathroom feel too cramped? A glass vessel sink, especially if it’s transparent, can change that. With less sink visible, your bathroom counter suddenly looks huge. Also, because these sinks often go atop the counter and not inside it, your bathroom seems to almost double in size.
These sinks may be better for your body. Taller people may have a hard time with some sinks, as they have to bend over uncomfortably to use them. With a glass vessel sink, which again, sits atop the counter, this is no longer an issue. However, these sinks aren’t hulking enough that a shorter person would have difficulty using it.
Planning a home renovation when you’re always on the go can be tough. You can’t always be home to let the workers in and out. Luckily, with a glass vessel sink, you and the company can both save time. These sinks require a hole drilled into the counter and that’s it. There’s no carving out the counter for the sink. This saves both time and money.
Glass sinks are also easy to clean. You only need a soft cloth and some warm water to wash away soap scum, toothpaste marks, and other stains that accumulate in the bathroom over time. When cleaning your vessel sink, make sure to thoroughly clean the outside and edges of the sink as well.
While vessel sinks can catch water very well, users do have to be careful. These sinks are like a large glass bowl. That bowl can only hold so much. This doesn’t make vessel sinks less advantageous than traditional sinks though, which can also only hold so much water.
Of course, we can’t talk about glass vessel sinks without touching on the stunning looks of these. You have so many options when designing your vessel sink. You can choose from stone, porcelain, concrete, copper, and nickel details. You can also customize the size and shape of your vessel sink. If you’re concerned with splashing, you can order a deeper sink.
