discussion on vessel sink and need help finding right vessel sink
Comments (10)Well, its been over a month and Alice has not posted her pictures, tee hee! Personally, I have fallen in love with the vessel sinks. I saw them for the first time a few years ago in an upscale restaurant (in red). Then, I saw them offered in clear glass which I thought would be hard to keep clean and shiny with no waterspots. But since then I've discovered them in granite and have fallen in love with different colors and veining. My daughter and I have a plan to get one in the bathroom on her level. We are replacing a 4 foot vanity that has some water damage and in other ways is past its prime. I have access to a brand new 4 foot vanity with no top. I'd like to get a piece of granite (and if not granite I'll settle for 6" ceramic tiles) and cut a hole in to partially recess a granite vessel sink. I have found several on eBay that are very affordable....See MoreFaucet height w/vessel sink?
Comments (2)We used a low vessel sink in a powder room because the counter itself is high. (We used Kohler Conical Bell which sits only 3 inches off the counter.) The faucet is a Moen 6111. It's 12 1/2" from counter to top of faucet. The height seems to work well with the height of the sink. The one thing I'd do over is move it just a bit closer to the sink -- the way it sits, the water stream arcs right into the center (drain), which sounds great. But when you wash hands, they're above the drain, so it would be nice to have the water arc hit the center a couple inches higher. If you do a wall mount, I think you can select the height and have the water spout go straight down into the middle of the sink. (I really wanted a wall mount, but only with one handle and could only find styles for $$$.)...See MoreKohler Forte or Simplice Faucet?
Comments (17)Also...in case it helps: I paid $231.99 on Faucetdirect.com and got the matching soap dispenser (because it was also stainless) for $54.33 and free shipping (search coupon codes online). Here's a couple of photos to show you how the Forte sits near a window. My other concern was being able to tilt the windows in to wash them, so I couldn't have a faucet too tall, but I also needed a long reach for my large sink. So far so good. The measurement from the countertop to the window trim is 5 3/4"....See MoreDrain for vessel sink mounted as undermount??
Comments (1)Wouldn't it be hugely simpler just to get an undermount sink? They do make them in all kinds of glass/ceramic if that's why you're considering this. How do you plan to support it, how will you keep the counter from pressing on it, etc?...See Morelineterry
