Vessel Sinks

[KQ]

I've always liked the look but not entirely sure of the practicality compared to a drop or undermount re: water spillage around the vessel and keeping things clean easily. Anyone?

This one is tres cool:

KENROKU PETRIFIED WOOD VESSEL SINK

Pretentious. Not you, the whole vessel sink thing.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a boat.

sunk sinks are better

truly a dentite fixture
vessel sinks are for folks who can (and want to) keep their bath rooms clean, usually with someone employed to keep them that way


nothing different about their utility tho
just usually require more cleaning effort since the exterior of the bowl is exposed...and usually with a tight inner corner to reach into to clean

i'd say they are a little easier to use for adults since they sit up above the counter



don't like the one in the OP, tho...and totally unmatched with the faucet

If I'm spending more money than I would for surface mount, I'm getting an under mount. Easier to clean.

The first time I stayed at the Royal Suite at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, I was astonished to find it had undermount sinks. For $25K a night I expected vessel sinks and told them such. Upon my next visit to the hotel, they had replaced the pedestrian undermount sinks with vessel sinks made from the finest Carrara marble.

Me too.

So yer sayin' the EF and Titanic sank because it had over-mounted sinks?!?

This changes everything!

Think of the center of gravity difference. They were top-heavy!

Fucking bourgeois French.

It's a little advanced but credible theory.

Where do you mop the excess water that will land outside the sink?

Looks like a cleaning nightmare

some folks look beyond the cleaning as their criteria for sink selection

made from the finest Carrara marble.

unfortunate ...carrara is pretty pedestrian
have your secretary send them a hand-written note and suggest calacatta or a specialty stone so that everyone will know they were custom

If you have a limited amount of vanity space the right kind of vessel sink is awesome - you can end up with more room to put shit on the countertop.



It takes like 10 seconds longer to clean than a normal sink

[iceman]

time to clean the baseboards there ^^^

[BmillsSkier]

If a sink isn't sunk is it really a sink?

Hah, that was during construction.

That's why they aren't called sunks.

This particular installation reminds me of a rehab facility in Malibu that I once spent 30 days in. Limited counter space and lack of mirrors made it more difficult for the cocaine user to get a quick fix.
