Lighting over 60" single-sink vanity
Comments (9)I found sconces that will go up to 100 watts. So, two would give you almost the same amount of light but at eye level. Bringing them down will compensate for that 40 watt loss a bit. In my 6 x 9 bathroom, I use two 75 watt equiv LED floods in cans and it is adequate for general lighting (much better than the incandescents we had). The sconces will replace the cans in the remodel. One thing I've looked for in new lighting was the ability to use LED in the traditional A-19 sockets. I don't have to worry about exceeding the fixture's rating and the quality of light is very nice when you use warm white. I also don't have weirdo bulbs to search for when it's time for a replacement....See Moreconverting a single sink vanity into a double sink
Comments (2)We would like to convert our old, single sink into a double. I understand I can use the same drain if it isn't over 30" but what needs to be done about the supply lines? Do we need to have a plumber change the pipes or can we do it another way outselves? Thanks so very much, If you are under the UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code) you may not combine two fixtures on the same waste arm. If you are under the IRC (International Residential Code) one center trap may serve up to 3 sinks, lavatories or laundry tubs of the same type, in the same room providing the maximum horizontal separation between any two fixtures measured from the center of the drain openings does not exceed 30" however the trap and fixture arm diameter MUST BE appropriately sized for the combined DFU (drainage fixture unit) load. A lavatory sink is rated at 1DFU therefore your proposed combined DFU load would be 2DFUs. The code standard drain opening size for a bathroom lavatory drain is 1-1/4" and the trap and fixture arm are supposed to be sized the same as the fixture tailpiece, which would also be 1-1/4" and rated for a maximum of 1DFU however, the bathroom lavatory is the only fixture in a residential structure that uses a 1-1/4" trap and fixture arm. The code will allow us to increase the size of the trap and/or fixture arm by one nominal trade size, which would then be 1-1/2". Rather than maintain a complete separate inventory of pipe and fittings for this limited use most plumbers now opt for the code exception and make the fixture arm 1-1/2". The code allows an 1-1/2" diameter horizontal waste line with a ¼" per foot pitch to convey a maximum of 3DFUÂs therefore if your existing fixture arm is 1-1/2" you will be able to connect both sinks to the common fixture arm. If the inside diameter of the existing pipe is 1-1/4" you may not combine both sinks on a common fixture arm. To make the physical connection you would need to use a 1-1/2"- "End Waste kit" or "Center waste kit" in the same manner as connecting a double kitchen sink. The lavatory drain tailpiece is 1-1/4" so you would need to use a 1-1/2"x 1-1/4" reducing ferrule on the inputs to the waste kit. The discharge from the end waste or center waste kit would then go into a 1-1/2" P-trap attached to the fixture arm. For the water supply lines we are in a gray area of the code. The code requires all fixtures except a tub or shower to have a valve at the fixture. One exception to this rule is when we are running a manifold system such as commonly used with PEX. On a manifold system we have individual lines from the manifold to the fixture so we may use the manifold shutoff valve as the fixture shutoff providing the manifold valves are all indelibly labeled to indicate which fixture they control. They make side outlet angle stop valves, which have the normal 3/8" outlet port on the top of the valve and a second 3/8" outlet port on the side. These types of valves are commonly used at the kitchen sink to connect dishwashers or ice maker lines. It would then be a judgment call by your inspector whether you could use a side outlet angle stop and run a line to each sink or whether you would need to install a tee on the water line and separate valves....See More8 foot double sink vanity. What size mirrors?
Comments (1)I have a 8ft vanity in my hall bath. sorry I don’t have a better picture. My sinks are 15x20” in a 24“ sink base. The mirrors 24”x36”. They are Crate and Barrel‘s Colby. Mine are satin nickel but they come in chrome too. They were on sale over the 4th but they’re back to the regular price now. If you sign up for their emails they will give you a discount. My scones are Quoizel’s Kolt. They also come in nickel or polished chrome. I bought them locally but they are available on many lighting websites....See MoreLight for 60 inch single vanity with 60 inch mirror? How many? Size?
Comments (2)I just tried Bellacor.com and they have hundreds of 5-light fixtures. I clicked on one and it was 42" wide. Since I don't know what style you're interested in I can't recommend one in particular, so try this site yourself and see if you can find something you like. Houzz probably has some too. I have purchased from Bellacor many times. Another site you can try is Lampsplus.com. There is a lot of overlap in their offerings, but they will each have some things that the other doesn't....See MoreCarey Castagnoli
4 years agoMy master bathroom cabinet is in an alcove and the ceilings are 8 ft. high. I want to go with a mirror instead of a medicine cabinet/mirror combo and flank the mirror with this sconce which is 4.5"w x 18"h. The vanity space above the sink is 58"h x 67" w. What mirror size would be best?

4 years agoMy master countertop is a little under 70" long. The single sink is 30" wide, the wood framed mirror is about 50" wide. There's about 10" of wall on each side for a sconce. Slightly more on the right, as it's asymmetrical.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoA 30 by 42 will look like this with your sconces. An easy size, to find OR . Perfectly fine. That is 1" to 1 foot scale as drawn. Allows for side and back splash.
Or put the sconces THROUGH the mirror.........and the mirror edge edge to edge. Brighten the entire room.

4 years agoMy bad for not disclosing the mosaic sooner. Here is a photo of the chevron tile I am using in the master. I love a round mirror but unfortunately, my husband doesn't. I found someone who can makes a super minimalist steel frame mirror in a custom size, no bevel like this one.
I thought the chevron would look better with a rectangle mirror as opposed to the round...what do you think? Are you still sold on the round?

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoDifferent dimensions here. You cant go wide enough on ANY round in your space to serve two really well. 45inches MAX. or the sconces will be squeezed You'd have 10.5 each side for those. A single in a smaller space? Notice no sconces.
