Ikea Lillangen - can it be used as vessel sink?
Comments (4)You only need to cut a hole for the drain - we didn't use any silicone or anything to seal it to the countertop but you could if you wanted. I just didn't like the way it looked. The flat bottom just means you do have to clean it more often, since toothpaste and soap don't wash down as quickly, they stick to the porcelain and dry there making the sink look scummy. I will offer one other word of warning - make sure your vessel sink has an overflow drain. Ours did not and while its not a problem in our house, if we had kids we would have had a flood seven times over. [EDIT: I googled that sink and it looks like it does have an overflow. Also, now that I think of it caulking the bottom would probably be a good idea w kids so water doesn't get under there and get nasty.] This post was edited by Swentastic on Thu, Jul 24, 14 at 14:39...See MoreBathroom sink, oval vs rectangular
Comments (16)We updated the powder room and guest bath sinks first. We installed undermounted rectangular sinks. I HATE cleaning them! There's no natural movement in cleaning. Hard on wrists. Also, one note on faucets. We found we have to stoop/bend low to get hands under sink flow, below the counter top or water slashes everywhere. It's changed my mind about high profile faucets. Maybe I'm fussy about it, but it's worth knowing....See Morehow far should faucet extend over vessel sink?
Comments (8)Logged in after a long weekend and was very thankful to see the responses. Chicagoans, thanks for the photo - it looks great and I'm glad you have had a mostly good experience with it. Looking at your picture, it made me wonder if you could get a faucet with a slightly longer spout? Would that allow you to hold your hands a little higher? Also, how deep is your vessel bowl? We had to buy the wall mounted faucet because the plumber needed the rough in. The spout reaches 7" from the wall, according to the spec. Please see the photo link - the spout turns down sharply so the water should go more or less straight down instead of at an angle. Now, I have to choose a vessel sink size. I am open to rectangular or round or any other shape that will fit. It would be nice to know what size to get. I called Jado and they said it is personal preference. :-( He told me to look at the showrooms, but I have and none of those faucets have RUNNING water. I can't tell how they splash or don't splash, only whether it is easy to get my hands under them. Please, anyone else with advice, I would appreciate it. I am thinking a 14" round that is about 6 inches deep would work... it would give space to get hands into bowl and hopefully not splash too much... ???

Comments (3)I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out why this is a problem. I took a look at a picture of that sink, and I would assume that you have a couple of options. The first would be to install the hardware onto the sink (using any extensions needed) first, and then put the sink in place. Alternatively, you could install the sink and then install the faucet with the right tools, like a basin wrench and a socket wrench with an extension and a crowfoot wrench head of the correct dimension. This would probably be the harder way to do it. All you need to do is make sure you cut away the countertop under the sink at the back so that you have room to work. Does this make sense or am I missing something here? You could also give Decolav a call to see if there is anything special about the installation [click on "About Us" after the web site comes up].
