What is a Vessel Sink?

A vessel sink, also known as a countertop sink or above-counter sink, is a type of sink that sits on top of a vanity or countertop rather than being mounted beneath it. It is designed to resemble a bowl or basin that rests on the surface, creating a distinctive and visually appealing look.

Vessel sinks are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, including ceramic, glass, stone, metal, and more. They can range from simple and streamlined designs to intricate and artistic styles, allowing for customization and complementing various interior design themes.

The installation of a vessel sink typically involves a specially designed countertop or vanity that has a hole or opening cut out to accommodate the sink. The sink is then placed on top of the opening and secured in place with mounting hardware. The plumbing fixtures, such as the faucet and drain, are installed on the countertop or wall behind the sink.
