Glass Sinks for the Luxury Bath

More from the Bathroom Remodeling Gallery

Glass bathroom sinks bring elegance to the upscale bathroom. Handmade glass sinks offer individuality and luxury simultaneously. Many glass sinks are vessel sinks, which sit on top of the vanity countertop.

Glass sinks can handle some wear and tear. According to Consumer Reports, drain cleaner, nail-polish remover, and other staining agents had no effect on tempered glass sinks. While you may think glass sinks would be prone to shattering, they actually hold up better than standard porcelain sinks.

That being said, a glass sink will be prone to chipping and shattering (if a heavy enough object is dropped from the right height) -- problems that metal sinks do not face. For this reason above any other, glass sinks are recommended for luxury bathrooms or bathrooms with intermediate use. A glass sink would probably be an unwise choice for a large family with rambunctious teeth-brushers to deal with.
