North Leeds Plumbing & Heating – Home Improvement and DIY Advice

Whether you are looking for functionality, a sharp contemporary look, or a more classic approach, there is a huge variety of sinks to choose from.

It all depends on your own taste, but before choosing your design it is also crucially important to consider things such as the size of your bathroom, whether you prefer to disguise the plumbing or would like to have some additional storage space.

Pedestal sinks are the most usual type of sink in domestic bathrooms. It sits on top of a ceramic column or pedestal and needs to be firmly fixed to an adjoining wall.

Although the overall size of the sink may vary, the actual bowl area is generously designed for family usage. In addition, the ceramic pedestal will also disguise the majority of necessary plumbing.

Wall hung sinks are also known as suspended sinks. As its name indicates, both the sink and pedestal are fixed to the wall but do not reach the floor. One of its most obvious benefits is ease of cleaning – particularly the underside of the fixture. Although more commonly installed elsewhere than the UK, it is enjoying increasing popularity due to its more contemporary style.

A Vanity sink will be either semi-recessed on a slim unit, or may completely cover an open-top unit.

Its main benefit is the large amount of additional storage space it can offer – as well as disguising all the plumbing. The storage area looks clean and stylish and assures your bathroom is free of avoidable clutter while keeping everything you need close at hand.
