subject: Stylishly Popular Pedestal Bathroom Sinks [print this page] If you're new to the process of building or remodeling a bathroom, you're in for a surprise when you see the many styles of bathroom sinks. Choosing bathroom sinks is not as easy as it was years ago when our selections were limited to stainless steel or porcelain.
Today we have many sizes, colors and styles available to choose from in bathroom sinks. One, in particular, that has gained a lot of attention and popularity is the pedestal bathroom sink. With so many bathroom sinks available, what's so special about the pedestal sink? You're about to find out!
Style just may be the number one reason why pedestal bathroom sinks are so popular. Available in different colors and your choice of vitreous china or enameled cast iron, these beautiful and durable sinks will add a touch of elegance to almost any bathroom. Because they're so different from the traditional bathroom sinks, they add a very attractive alternative in your bathroom. Pedestal bathroom sinks are also often the sink of choice when you have limited space in your bathroom.
Choosing between vitreous china and enameled cast iron will be based on personal preference and budget. While the cast iron is the more durable of the two, it's also more expensive. The vitreous china pedestal sinks are offered in more of a variety of quality and price, however. When purchasing a pedestal bathroom sink, pay attention to configuration so your faucet is compatible with the sink.
Pedestal bathroom sinks are also popular because they not only provide stability to your basin but also do a great job of disguising the pipe work. If you're installing the pedestal bathroom sink by yourself, as opposed to having it professionally installed, it's recommended that you have a helper so the sink can be supported while you're working with the pipe work.
