Sinks & Faucets
Here are a few things to think about when choosing sinks & faucets:
Sinks:
- Decide if you want your sink to be part of the vanity or freestanding. Freestanding sinks do not have cabinets.
- You can choose from a range of colors, patterns, depths and designs.
- Will children or adults be using the sink? For children, you can add a footstool at the base of the sink.
- Choose a material that is resistant to water damage (see section on “Bathroom Countertops”). Some common sink materials include stone, marble and stainless steel.
Faucets:
- Choose faucets that match the decor of your bathroom.
- Your faucet materials should be resistant to water damage such as rust.
- Not all sinks can accommodate every type of faucet, so make sure to choose a sink and faucet that work together.
- You can choose a single piece faucet which connects the hot and cold water outlets.
- You can choose a split set faucet which has separate outlets for hot and cold water.
