Choosing a Bathroom Sink
American Standard offers a range of sink choices.
|
|
Drop-in sinks
fit into a vanity or countertop and offer the most simple installation. They also
maintain undercounter storage space.
|
 |
Pedestal sinks
feature sophisticated styling and large bowl areas. Many can enlarge a room visually
and create a luxurious setting. Others, in petite sizes, can be the perfect solution
to a small area where space is at a premium. A pedestal sink does not allow for
undercounter storage, so check for adequate closet space, or consider adding shelves.
|
 |
Undercounter sinks
create a clean, distinctive look. Because there is no rim or "lip" above the counter
to catch soap and debris, they are the easiest to cleanup. The faucet is mounted
directly to the countertop in undercounter sink installations, creating an opportunities
for unique and creative faucet placement.

 |
Above Counter Lavatories
Versatile and stylish these lavatories rise above the countertop or furniture to
create a decorative focal point in any bath or powder room.

Other Considerations
Size.
Check the exact dimensions of the location for the new sink. Will your new sink
fit into an existing cut-out?
Faucets.
What type of faucet will you choose? Faucets come in all shapes and styles, too.
Don't put a tiny faucet on a big, bold sink, and vice-versa. Finally, make sure
the sink you take home has the correct hole punchings for your faucets, usually,
4" or 8".
Style.
American Standard offers a wide range of choices, from contemporary to tradition,
in an array of up to 15 different colors. Consider choosing a design-matched toilet
and a tub or whirlpool coordinate with a new sink.
