subject: Bathroom Remodel Tips: Bathrrom Vanity Material Types [print this page] When redesigning the vanity in your bathroom, there are many aspects and feature you need to take into consideration. This not only includes the overall design of the vanity, but the material used. You want to make sure it goes well with the rest of the bathroom, while not looking too dated. If you ever want to sell the home, it is essential to keep a fresh, up to date feel in the bathroom. Bathrooms and kitchens sell homes the fastest, as these are often the areas that require the most work to upgrade, and potential buyers do not want to spend the extra money on these areas of the home. This is why, selecting the right design and the right material for your bathroom remodeling is essential.
Before installing or preparing anything for the bathroom remodeling project, make sure to measure how much room you have. This way you are able to decide on a one or two sink vanity. Two sink vanities are desirable, as people aren't left waiting to brush their teeth or do their makeup in the morning. Of course, if there isn't the room, there isn't the room, and there isn't much you can do about it.
Once you know the kind of vanity you want to install, you need to consider the materials. Marble and granite are the top materials used that adds the most valuable to your home. These materials are durable and add an exquisite look to any bathroom. There is laminate counter top, but this often looks cheap, and people looking for a new home are not going to like the inexpensive material used in the bathroom.
You can opt for a tile counter top. This does require a bit more work for installation, and maintenance is slightly more, as you need to make sure and clean the grout in between the tiles, as the grout becomes dirty easier. Tile is typically best used for the back splash though, so keep this in mind. You don't want two different tiles on the counter top and as the back splash, as this puts too many layers and material into a small location.
One you know what kind of counter top material you wish to use for the bathroom vanity, the next option you need to look at is the faucet type. There are many different kinds of metals available for the faucet, with different kinds of finishes. The stainless steel look is always popular, and does not date or age as fast as bronze or gold.
