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.
