Which Type of Sink is Right for Your Bathroom Remodel?

Are you ready to tackle the bathroom remodeling project of replacing your sink? With many different styles and types of sinks available in Royal Oak MI, you're sure to find one which meets your needs in a stylish and affordable way.

Space Savers: Pedestal & Wall-Mounted Sinks

If you're short on space but want a classic look, pedestal sinks are the way to go. The style is simple and timeless, and works perfectly for a powder room or guest bath. The only disadvantage is the lack of storage or counter space.Like the pedestal sink, wall-mounted sinks are huge space savers. These, however, are far more modern-looking than the more traditional pedestal sinks, and they also give you more floor space to work with. Also like the pedestal sink, however, wall-mounted sinks don't offer much storage or counter-top space.

Trough-Style vs. Double Sinks

If your family has multiple people who need to access the bathroom sink at once, one of these options may be right for you. Trough sinks are large, over-sized sinks with multiple faucets. They are perfect for letting multiple people access the sink at the same time, but because they only have one basin they take up less space than two sinks would.While trough sinks are great for saving some space, that isn't always a needed feature. Double sinks can be placed further apart, giving each person more room. They can also offer more storage space for each person, as well as extra counter-top space and spots to place separate mirrors.

Undermount Sinks, Drop-In Sinks, and Vessel Sinks

Most standard sinks are drop-in style sinks, which means that the edge of the sink is over the counter top. These sinks are generally easy to install and uninstall, and also have the advantage of being more inexpensive. However, the caulk used around the edge of the sink tends to collect germs and grime, which means that more cleaning is required.With undermount sinks, the opposite is true. The edge of the counter is on top of the sink basin, which makes cleanup a breeze. Undermount sinks also tend to look more modern and classy. However, they do require more work to replace and also generally cost more.Vessel sinks have an entirely different style. Rather than having the lip of the sink at the same level as the counter top, vessel sinks sit on top of the counter surface. This unique style of sink is perfect for those who wish to have an eye-catching sink design. They are more memorable than most sinks, and are generally easier to install. However, these sinks can be harder to keep clean, and some may find the style awkward to use.No one style of sink is perfect for everyone. Consider your style, the size and functionality of your bathroom, and what uses you'll need the sink for.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
