Types of stone bathroom sinks

With today’s Luxury Baths, stone sinks represent only very-high-end style. Many stone sinks today are treated to resist caustic chemicals damage. Choosing what type of natural stone sink best fits your bathroom sink needs is important:

At one time, Soapstone sinks were used frequently in bathtubs, but they are more durable and long-standing. Soapstone sinks have a natural, authentic feel, and there are many antique soapstone sinks available for auction and sale.

Granite sinks are very important, as they are one of the least porous of most stone sinks. Granite stone sinks have a higher density (higher than marble bath sinks and limestone sinks), which makes them less likely to stain. Available in a variety of colors and styles, granite stone sinks are a perfect compliment to your high-end, luxury bathroom.

If you seeking lighter colors, marble bathroom sinks are perfect for luxury bathroom designs that are natural stone or lighter colored. Marble stone sinks have an ornate style perfect for top-mount, self-rimming, vessel, and free-standing installations.

Travertine sinks have neutral to beige colors, and contain nice layered lines within the stone. This is ideal for a natural looking luxury bathroom install, and often Travertine stone sinks are affordable since they are mined from quarries throughout the world.  There are many colors of travertine sinks available including white and beige, although there are countless other colors and variations.

Onyx bathroom sinks are very elegant, as they are somewhat translucent and allow light to pass through and around them. This is very different from granite sinks or marble sinks, as onyx sinks can be featured in high-end, luxury lighting situations. Onyx is typically found in a few popular colors including honey onyx, white onyx, red onyx and green onyx.

Styles of stone bathroom sinks

There are many sink styles to consider when designing your high-end, luxury bath. When designing your bathroom, it's important to research which style best fits your overall design aesthetic.

Self-rimming (top-mount) sinks are mounted in the top of vanity bathroom installations. Top-mount sinks are typically dropped down into carved or open areas on top of your bathroom vanity and then sealed tightly to prevent leaks.

Bottom-mount or undermount stone sinks are installed below a high-end vanity, and are sometimes used for carved stone sink installations. Undermount sink advantages are that they provide a contemporary look to your high-end bathroom, but extra costs are required to ensure the sinks are mounted properly.

Vessel sinks are free-standing, generally finished and decorated on all sides, that sits directly on the surface of your luxury bathroom vanity. These are becoming more popular in modern bathroom installs, as they provide a contemporary look that will highlight the unique style of your stone vessel sink.

Whatever your design or style, natural stone sinks are a wonderful edition for your luxury bath and suite. The Luxurybath site features the best auctions and prices for your next kitchen design.
