It seems like we’re forever choosing between fashion and function, but there are many options for commercial bathroom sinks that can fulfill both. The bathrooms in apartment complexes, hotels, and other facilities can all benefit from modern aesthetics paired with extreme durability. Here’s how to choose a sink that does it all.
Material
Not all sink materials are created equal, and while some sinks might look good, you want to make sure they can stand up to the demands of a commercial bathroom. These are some of the most common materials used in commercial bathroom sinks:
- Stainless Steel – These sinks are tough and affordable, easy to clean, and stain-resistant. They are more commonly found in commercial kitchens but can also be used in bathrooms. The downside? They scratch and dent easily and are nearly impossible to repair.
- Porcelain – Porcelain has been a bathroom sink staple for many years, and with good reason. This material is timeless and elegant. It’s also easy to clean and reasonably durable, and the color can be customized to match any aesthetic.
- Quartz and Granite – These natural and engineered stones can be finished with a smooth glaze to make them stain-resistant and extremely durable. They provide a natural finish to any bathroom. They are chip and dent-resistant and highly hygienic, making them popular for commercial bathrooms.
Style
For as many material options as there are, the number of style choices for bathroom sinks is significantly higher. The style can be determined by what type of installation you choose: drop-in, wall-mount, pedestal, under-mount, vessel, or vanity top. The sink can also be styled to be modern, traditional, or antique, depending on the overall shape and other details.
The best sink style and the material can vary significantly from project to project. Hotel, apartment, and facility bathroom sinks need to prioritize durability while still maintaining a beautiful appearance. Sinks in restaurant bathrooms and other locations that are used differently can often afford more ornate options.
An excellent place to start when choosing a bathroom sink is measuring your space and defining what you’re looking for. A wall-mounted or pedestal sink may be the best option if you want to maximize the floor space and go for a minimalistic look. But if counter space, storage, and functionality are the most important, a vanity sink will better meet your needs.
There’s a lot to consider when choosing a bathroom sink, and there’s plenty of room for error. We recommend that you call a professional design and installation service to help you find the best option for your space.
