Copper Vessel Sink

Copper Vessel Sinks are another popular choice in today’s bathroom remodeling. Most copper sinks are “hand hammered” which means each sink is made by an artisan hammering a single sheet of copper into a desired shape. The wonderful, unique feature of copper sinks is its “living finish”, copper changes and evolves with the temperature, moisture and water solids. This change is known as patina. Some people will appreciate this phenomenon, while others will want their sink looking the way it did on the day it was delivered. You can slow down or prevent the patina finish by using a copper wax solution or sealant. Cleaning a copper sink is very simple, use soap and water along with a soft cloth. Harsh chemicals and acidic foods can ruin your sink. Copper sinks also have a unique antibacterial advantage; bacteria can only live on copper for a couple of hours vs. days on a typical stainless steel or stone sink.

Porcelain Vessel Sink

China and Porcelain sinks are the most common sinks. Porcelain is a type of hard ceramic material fired at a very high temperature. They provide low maintenance and cost as well as flexible designs. Most porcelain sinks are not made of pure porcelain; it is usually a coating on top of cast iron or other metal base. Porcelain is rather brittle and can chip easily; since porcelain is porous it can become stained over time.

Stone Vessel Sink

Stone Vessel Sinks make the most powerful statement. They are made out of natural stone, such as granite, marble, onyx, and travertine.

Onyx – Onyx comes in a wide range of shades. This cryptocrystalline (a term that means the crystals are so tiny that you can only detect them by viewing a thin section of it through a polarization microscope) quartz has long been used in jewelry and sardonyx, a red variation, can be found in the ancient art of the Bronze Age.

Marble – Marble results from recrystallization under intense heat and pressure of sedimentary carbonate rocks, and pure white marble comes from the metamorphism of pure limestone or dolomite protolith. Colored marble, such as grey marble, contains minerals like clay, iron oxides or sand that were present in the limestone from which it evolved.

Travertine – This is a type of limestone that has been deposited by mineral or hot springs. It is formed by rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate and can form stalagmites and stalactites. It is used in Italy and other parts of the world as a building material. A sedimentary rock, travertine exhibits a porosity which is caused by various organisms that colonized its surface during formation. The famous Colosseum is built mostly of travertine.

So you have decided that going with a vessel sinks is the perfect option for your new modern bathroom. There are so many options!! What to pick? How to decide? What are the differences? Let’s see if I can shine some light on all this for you and make your decision a little easier.

We offer a few different types of vessel sinks:

Copper Vessel Sink

Stone Vessel Sink

Ceramic Vessel Sink

Porcelain Vessel Sink

Glass Vessel Sink

Glass Vessel Sinks

One of the most popular trends in bathroom remodeling are fused glass sinks, they are also known as glass vessel sinks. The most common are 15-20 inches in diameter and about 5-8 inches deep. There are three methods to making a glass sink: cold, warm and hot glass.

Cold glass is when the sink is made at room temperature, such as mosaic glass, stained glass, glass carving and glass etching. Warm glass is when the glass is heated to a temperature up to 1700 degrees Fahrenheit. Pieces of glass can be combined and fused together to achieve a desired design. Once fused, the glass is then put over a mold to reach the desired shape. Hot glass is the process of blowing glass. The glass is formed using a glory hole from a pipe. Glass is blown and formed into a sink shape. This method allows for the most creativity and makes every piece unique. The hole for the plumbing is cut and sanded  in the sink after the sink is finished.

Double Layer Glass Vessel Sink

We all know how fragile glass can be. So how strong are these sinks really? Since they are heated to a high temperature and then cooled they are 5-7 times stronger than normal unheated glass. These sinks can survive at temperatures up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. However, these sinks don’t react well to sudden changes in temperature, so please don’t pour water over 120 degrees into them as it could cause thermal shock and your sink could break.

There are three types of glass vessel sinks: natural glass, double layer glass and painted sinks.

Natural Glass Vessel Sink

Natural glass sinks are made of clear, colored glass without any additional color added. They are plain and without any design.

Double layer sinks are made by combining two layers of glass with a design (usually colored foil) between the two layers; these sinks are generally much stronger than natural glass sinks as they provide an extra layer of glass.

Painted vessel sinks achieve their design by having the underside of the glass painted and sealed.

Vessel Sink- Rainfall Faucet Combination

No matter which glass vessel sink you decide to go with, it will surely add beauty, elegance and at times a work of art to your bathroom.

If you are looking for that “little bit of extra” we offer a large selection of glass vessel sink and rainfall faucet combinations for a perfect match.

In tomorrow’s blog we will cover the other types of vessel sinks that are available to you.

Avanity Newport Traditional Bathroom Vanity avanity_VS30-BK

You will see on a lot of our vanities that it is partially made of MDF, solid wood and Veneer Wood. You are probably asking yourself what are the differences among those. Well solid wood is self explanatory, it could be made of birch, oak, rubberwood (as discussed in yesterday’s blog), or a number of other trees commonly used for furniture. But what are these two other kinds of wood; MDF and Veneer Wood?

Let’s take a look at MDF first.

MDF stands for “medium-density fibreboard”. It is a wood product made by breaking down residual softwood or hardwood into wood fibers, combining it all with a sealant and forming panels under high pressure and temperature. MDF is denser than plywood. Because it is made up of separate fibers it is denser and much stronger than particle board. MDF has a smooth and grain-free texture, making it perfect for painting. Typically MDF is used for vanity and furniture backpanels and drawers to make it easier for plumbing and installation as it is very easy to cut and work with.

What is Veneer Wood?

Veneer, in woodworking, refers to thin slices of wood, usually thinner than 1/8 inch, that are glued onto panels to produce doors, tops and panels for cabinets. Cabinet grade plywood consists of three or more layers of veneer wood. Only the finest and rarest logs are used to produce veneer.  There are four types of veneer:

1. Raw:  veneer that has no backing to it and can be used with either side facing up.
2. Paper Backed: veneer that is backed with paper. This is helpful when making curves and columns as the veneer is less likely to crack
3. Phenolic Backed: due to concern for the natural resources, this type is becoming more and more popular. It has the same advantages as paper backed veneer.
4. Laid Up veneer is raw veneer that has been joined together to make larger pieces.

Most of the vanities available for sale on our website use all of the above kinds of wood: solid, MDF, and veneer. Typically the frame of the vanity would be made of solid wood, the backing and/or drawer bottoms of MDF and the cabinetry of quality veneer wood.

I hope that this has provided you with a clear understanding of what you are about to purchase! If you have any questions about the materials your vanity is made of, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department.

New Legend Addison Double Sink Bathroom Vanity NLBA-3059-DM

The newest trend in furniture is a wood called “Rubberwood”. With going “green” becoming more and more popular rubberwood furniture is the perfect choice for our earth friendly customers. Rubberwood, also known as parawood, is grown in Asia and is harvested for its sap for production of latex. Every time a tree is cut down a new one is planted in its place, making it environmentally friendly wood. Despite its name, rubberwood is not soft or flexible. It is considered hardwood and is part of the maple family.

The wood is very durable and sturdy and very rarely cracks or warps. The wood is very smooth and the texture is very pleasing to touch and to the eye. It is very hard to scratch using every day things. Rubberwood stains very well because of its natural light undertone and it holds color very well. An added bonus is that rubberwood is very resistant to insects and moisture making it the perfect choice for bathroom and kitchen furniture as it is less likely to develop mold.

Take a look at our list of vanities to find the perfect rubberwood piece for your home.

Did you find the perfect bathroom vanity to your remodel and it comes without a backsplash? Are you ready to change the whole design of the bathroom to incorporate a vanity that comes with a backsplash? There is no need to do that at all! Stick with the vanity you love and take a look at these alternative ideas for a backsplash.

With the advances in sealants, it is now possible to use nearly any material in the bathroom without worrying about water leaks and mold.

The backsplash should not be a separate element; it should be integrated into the design of the bathroom, borrowing elements from the bath and floor tiles, ceiling, shapes and colors of the whole room.

Tile

Tile choices are endless, from mosaic tile to solid blocks, from glass to ceramic to those made to look like wood. A vanity backsplash made of glass tile will provide you with a modern look while that made of natural stone or ceramic creates an upscale traditional look.

Mirror

You can have a piece of mirror cut to custom fit in the desired area for a backsplash, or you can create a mosaic of mirrors made up of different shapes and sizes for a more fun modern look. Make sure that the edge on the backsplash is finished as you don’t want to cut yourself.

Glass

This material works very well in a modern bathroom. The sky and your imagination are the limit for what you can do. You can paint a design around your vanity and cover that with clear or frosted glass. You can find pieces of different size and color glass and use that as a mosaic around your vanity, incorporating pieces throughout your bathroom. You can chose to paint the back of the glass prior to installing it for a very unique an chic look and provide a greater impact than just painting the wall behind the glass.

Stone

If having a backsplash that matches your vanity top is an absolute must, try your local or internet stone shop. Take pictures of your countertop and have them match it to make you a backslash or sidesplash. You may also want to consider a backsplash made of composite stone for a cheaper alternative.

Laminate

This material is still very much alive in the modern bathroom design. It is no longer left for those of us who desire the 70s or 80s bathroom look. Laminate has come a long way; they offer an affordable way to bring color and originality to your design.
