@jillhbaudhaan I cant say about splashing but the average countertop stands at 36" so if thats the top of your vessel sink you have a pretty low counter
Lady you gave very good tips.thanks

Three major disadvantages. A vessel faucet lessens the flow of water. Water cannot come out with enough force to wash a razor out while shaving. I have to do that in my bathtub. Because vessel faucets restrict the flow of water, they tend to become clogged. The small openings the water has to go through to restrict the flow can get clogged with sediment. Also, because the faucet is high, water splashes all over the place. Because of that, best to have tile on the wall in back of your sink. I bought a condo with a vessel sink in it and I really regret it. I would never get a vessel sink ever again. They are a headache. When I moved in, I had no hot water for two months in my bathroom sink. It was difficult to figure out why. It was because the vessel faucet got clogged. I have to clean up splashed water all the time. And having to clean my razor out in the bathtub every day is getting really tired.
Julia, it’s now 2021, do you think it’s outdated? I feel that it is but I would like to know your opinion
@ smjaegerr
I’m looking to renovate a small, full bathroom. I love the look of converting a piece of antique-looking furniture into a vanity. I would like to add a vessel sink on top. Is 36" to tall (this includes the height of the vessel sink)? Also, one thing I’ve always wondered about these sinks, is splashing an issue?
How is a pedestal sink viewed more negatively than a basin sink.
If you put one of those cabinets under the pedestal sink it’s like a basin sink.
That you can put any cabinet under.
Style isn’t an ‘advantage’ too subjective.
Vessel sink= going back in time, the only way they can start to make any sense is with a wall mount faucet
Thanks for the suggestions. The volume was way to low.
To me, most important is the counter top height. I ordered a vessel sink on line. We set it up on the kitchen counter to see how it would go together. It’s WAY too tall to use in the bathroom. Our old bathroom has a vanity 31" high. Standard is now 34-36; add 5 inches for the sink on top and you are way up there. So far, I have not been able to find the company on line that I bought it from to send it back, nor can I find a packing slip.
holy smoke, get a remote microphone.
I hate those god damn sinks.
Pros [for people who have stomach aches as often as I do]>
1: it’s easier to vomit in
2: it’s less messy & won’t slash everywhere
3: it’s cleaner/more sanitary than the toilet (for unexpected sudden stomach aches. Wash sink extremely well after, of course)
4: you can turn the faucet on, drink water, swish/spit out, drown out the noise & rinse/clean off after
5: you can rest your arms/hands around it & even hold it (grabbing it hard helps for some reason for me, don’t know why)
Cons:
1: vessel sinks are ugly
2: you can’t put it on the floor [so make sure you have something soft to land on if you’re too weak to stand up after]
11 years later…..and they’re still popular ❤
I wish I would’ve seen this before bugging my parents about getting one. 🤨
Well it’s 12 years later and these sinks are still pretty popular so the concern of it being a fad may be even less legitimate at this point.
we’re doing a half bath remodel and was considering a vessel sink. thanks for the info!
im putting one in my walk in closet, cause i want my own bathroom, but we dont have room, so know i can wash my face and brush my teeth in my room! lol
Great information. I’m designing a bathroom for class now. This was exactly what I was looking for to determine whether to use a vessel sink in my design.
What faucet is this?
okay but does it help you SPLASH LESS when you wash your face?
i legit just want a huge vessel sink so I don’t have to wipe my entire counter every time I wash my face.
*agree it’s beautiful and can be changed out with you design style in the future*
Julia – you state that the counter height was designed specifically for a vessel sink. How tall is the counter in the video? Also, what are the dimensions of the sink & faucet featured? We’re in the midst of remodeling our master bath and are facing this exact quandary – best height / size all around. Thanks.
