Cinderella had her glass slipper, now your bathroom can have equally beautiful glass sinks. Although you may not associate glass with the typical materials of sink construction (usually more mundane materials like stainless steel, porcelain, or enamel), this durable and elegant item is perfect for any bath that is greatly in need of a makeover. In addition to providing you with a jaw-dropping focal point for your room, a glass sink can also serve to fit in even the tiniest bath. If you are puzzled over a good way to update your bath, consider the positives aspects of choosing a glass sink.

Aspect One – The Look

No one can enter a bathroom with glass sinks and not walk out impressed—it’s just impossible! Especially for those contemporary minded baths with vessel sinks, the unique material and design of the bowl will set your bathroom apart from the rest. Furthermore, there are glass varieties of old standards, including incredibly useful double bowled sinks and space saving pedestal sinks. Once you see a glass sink in person, you will never go back to non-descript sinks ever again! The main trend when choosing a glass sink is a vessel sink, which mounts directly to the top of your countertop. These basins are quite deep so that the rest of your bathroom is not soaked from splashing water.

Aspect Two – The Durability

Contrary to popular belief, glass is an incredibly durable material for construction of sinks. Since glass is outstanding as a vessel for holding water, it makes perfect sense that individuals have been molding and shaping this ancient material for sink bowls. However, the glass used in sink construction is much different than the glass found in your window panes. This glass is tempered and durable enough to last a lifetime. Furthermore, if some accident should befall your beautiful basin, the glass is designed not to shatter, as tempered glass will crack while laminated glass may suffer damage, but still remain intact so as to prevent potential injuries.

Aspect Three – The Options

Regardless what style of bathroom you currently have (or wish to have), there is a glass sink on the market that is a perfect fit. Whether you are looking to complete a modern style with a stunning black glass sink flecked with mica chips or would rather exude an old world charm with a hand painted glass basin, you are sure to find the perfect option for your room. From art glass to industrial glass, be sure to check out a variety of retailers and outlets when it comes time to find the exact sink for your home. Furthermore, these sinks are available in a wide variety of sizes, so that you can find the perfect glass sink for your bath no matter how diminutive the space. For those especially tiny powder bathrooms, consider choosing a corner sink that will occupy space that is previously unused. However, although these basins may save you space, they are certainly not shrinking violets, as they are often capable of being the main spotlight in the room.

Once you have installed a glass sink in your bathroom, be sure to provide proper cleaning and maintenance to ensure that you sink will continue to be beautiful for years to come. Surprisingly, a glass sink can be cleaned with the same glass cleaner you probably use for your bathroom mirrors. However, since glass surfaces are notorious for showing water spots, make a habit of drying the sink basin after each use to prevent these unattractive and aggravating marks from marring the look of your gleaming glass sink.
