The Difference Between a Sink and Basin for a Bathroom
No kitchen would be complete without some means to wash the dirty dishes after you have finished your meal. While many households have an automatic dishwasher, most rely on a suitably large vessel and a plumbed supply of hot and cold water controlled by taps. The facility is known as a sink and shares its name with a similar setup for washing one’s hands. However, while the latter consists of a relatively small porcelain bowl, the kitchen variety is generally much larger, made of stainless steel and has a draining board. In practice, however, a specially-designed basin for a bathroom offers a more elegant and versatile option.
By contrast, a sink is a more basic facility, intended to be functional rather than decorative. Rows of sinks line the walls of the washrooms at most places of work, in gyms and cinemas and in public toilets. While some of the more sophisticated models may boast sensor-operated taps and automatic soap dispensers, they are uniformly semi-circular, white porcelain or fibreglass and barely large enough to wash your hands without splashing your clothes. However, in the home, most people would prefer something more attractive and less utilitarian. A basin for a bathroom will not only enhance the room’s décor and overall ambience but will provide several additional benefits.
Enhanced User Experience
In practice, this type of facility is often known as a vanity unit, a fact that may help to clarify the difference between this purpose-built piece of furniture from the humble sink. Where in use, the latter is generally supported by a pedestal that also serves to conceal the hot and cold-water pipes and perhaps a stopcock. However, although a vanity unit helps to perform the same function, this is secondary to its primary purpose. In addition to housing a basin for a bathroom, these units are designed to enhance the overall user experience.
Additional Storage Space
One thing that the smallest room in your home often lacks is space. You may have a glass shelf or two on which to store your toothpaste, soap and other toiletries, a small wall cabinet that doubles as a mirror, and some hooks on which to hang the towels in current use. However, a vanity unit offers a relatively compact means to extend your storage space. A built-in cupboard with a drawer replaces the sink’s pedestal, providing welcome additional storage beneath the basin for a bathroom. Installing a vanity unit will give you somewhere convenient to keep your clean towels, spare toilet rolls, and other items tucked neatly out of sight.
Versatile Styles and Designs
A floating vanity unit can attach to your wall at a convenient height and combines a large ceramic basin with some handy additional surface space for your toiletries while in use. For those who favour the Scandinavian style of décor and its widespread use of wood, GEZA offers a vanity unit with a stylish Indian ebony wood grain finish, adding a further touch of elegance to the housing of a basin that’s perfect for any bathroom.
Nevertheless, many still prefer the traditional sparkling white furnishings in their smallest room. While they might add a little colour to the walls with tiles or paint in a pastel shade, when it comes to the utility’s white, they believe there’s no substitute. As it happens, GEZA also offers an option to suit those whose taste in décor may be more traditional. We can provide a floor-standing model with a ceramic bowl and lever mixer tap instead of the wood-grain floating vanity unit. The conventional white basin for a bathroom is mounted on a two-door white, wrapped melamine cupboard. Its two large shelves provide even more storage space than the smaller vanity unit. The cabinet also serves to conceal the plumbing. It is also available as a set with a matching close-coupled toilet if required.
