Types of Bathroom Vanities
1. Cabinet Bathroom Vanities
You can choose from a wide range of styles of cabinet bathroom vanities – from traditional to modern
Cabinet bathroom vanities are very popular because they support almost every type of sink except the pedestal sink. Your cabinet bathroom vanity is used to support a countertop that can be made out of a wide variety of materials including:
- Quartz
- Ceramic tile
- Plastic laminate
- Solid-surface or synthetic stone
- Natural granite
Cabinet bathroom vanities come in a wide range of styles from traditional to more modern and many styles in between. They can give you a similar look to a fine piece of furniture and they are the perfect choice for hiding your drain, waste pipes, and water supply. In addition, a cabinet bathroom vanity will provide you with lots of additional and very handy storage space.
2. Vessel Sink and Vanity
Vessel sink and vanities will give you a unique, one-of-a-kind look
A vessel and sink bathroom vanity is a very recent style. The sink actually sits on top of the vanity countertop. The countertop is usually attached to a floor-mounted or cabinet vanity that is fastened to the wall to keep it stable. These types of sinks are truly a work of art with various available forms, including:
- Blown glass bowl
- Alabaster stone
- Porcelain bowl
- China bowl
If you are looking for a striking or one-of-a-kind look, then the vessel sink and vanity can give you just that.
3. Integrated Sink and Countertop
Integrated sinks and countertops are a seamless structure.
Integrated sinks and countertops are sinks that have been formed into your actual countertop. The countertop and the sink are one continuous piece made out of the same material. They are often made from quartz, corian or even stainless steel.
They are seamless structures that sit on top of bathroom vanities. Your plumbing and water supply lines are hidden inside the vanity base cabinets. This is a very popular type of sink, especially if you like clean lines and a sleek design.
4. Drop-In Sink
Drop-in sinks are found in both newer and older homes.
A drop-in sink is similar to a framed sink in that it is dropped into a hole that is cut into your countertop. Instead of having a frame to seal and hold it in place, a drop-in sink is designed with an oversized edge or lip that extends out past the hole and supports the sink on top of the counter.
If your sink is heavy, like a cast-iron sink, the weight will actually hold it in place. If you have a lighter-weight sink, then it will usually be clamped to secure it to the underside of your countertop. You can find this style of bathroom vanity in both older and newer homes.
5. Under-Mount Sink
An under-mount sink has a lip that is a bit larger than the hole in the countertop.
Under-mount sinks need to be installed in a solid-surface countertop like stone, or synthetic composite. This type of sink is mounted underneath the countertop. The sink itself is slightly larger than the hole in the countertop creating a slight overhang over the sink bowl.
This is one of the higher-priced bathroom vanities you can get. The design looks clean and you will often find it in newer homes or homes that have been remodelled.
6. Pedestal Sink
Pedestal sinks work well in both smaller and larger bathrooms.
A pedestal sink is a great choice if your space is limited. For this reason, they are often found in apartments, older homes, and smaller bathrooms. Pedestal sinks look like they have been mounted on top of a pedestal that conceals the plumbing and water lines.
They are open and don’t have a cabinet beneath them. This type of sink may be mounted onto the wall for support or the pedestal itself may be holding it up off the floor.
7. Wall-Mounted Sink
A wall-mouted sink is often your least expensive option.
A wall-mounted sink is a very basic design where the sink is mounted to the wall. You will often find wall-mounted sinks in apartments, older homes or in public restrooms. It is a budget-friendly sink that also is an option if your space is limited.
With this type of design, the plumbing waste and water supply lines are exposed or sometimes they are concealed by a curtain or covering attached to the bottom of the sink.
