A glass sink will add style and the look of luxury to any bathroom or powder room. It is as easy to clean as any stainless steel or porcelain model and just as durable. All models are made of tempered material, so they are designed to withstand the normal every day rigors within the bath. Whether a jar is dropped into the bowl or prolonged use of hot water is the issue, these products will hold up.

Most basins come as the vessel type, which means they will rest on top of the vanity, rather than inside it. The look is quickly becoming more popular and is widely seen in homes and hotels throughout Europe. It is a clean, yet elegant look that will enhance any new or redesigned bath.

Many options are available for this product. Nearly any shade or color that a homeowner wants can be found. Even dark brown and black shades are available. Frosted versions in blue, aqua and white shades are also available. Some are available in metallic shades that are made to look like copper or brass. Even multicolored options can be found in some stores.

Basins are found in round, oblong and square shapes, with some modern variations that have gentle scallops or sloping curves. Some models will have edges that are shaped like molding, while others are smooth. Many models come without faucets, so the homeowner can coordinate the fixtures in the room. Others will come as a package deal, with a suitably styled matching faucet.

Home improvement and building supply stores will carry a variety of these items for the homeowner to choose from. Many models can be mounted right to the plumbing, without the need for a vanity. If stainless steel or highly polished plumbing is used, the look can be very sleek. Prices can vary from around $80 to $1,500, depending on the model and design.
