The hottest bathroom accessory on the market right now is the vessel sink. Contemporary and artistic in their design, vessel sinks are one of the latest innovations in bathroom fixtures that are attempting to break away from the traditional idea of what a functional bathroom should look like and, instead, strive for what a beautiful bathroom can look like, while still remaining functional of course. When paired with a variety of innovative vessel faucets, a modern sink can transform your bathroom from traditional to trendsetting in a snap. One of the most popular types of vessel faucets being paired with the sinks right now is the wall mount vessel faucet.
What Is a Wall Mount Vessel Faucet?
Vessel sinks sit on top of the counter as opposed to being sunk within it like traditional sinks. Because of this, a traditional sink faucet doesn’t work with the design and layout of the sink. While there are several modified faucet choices to pick from, the wall mount version is one of the designs in the highest demand. Instead of being set into the sink or counter top, as with traditional faucets, a wall mount vessel faucet is fixed to the wall above the sink. They are typically much longer than traditional faucets to account for the additional space between the sink and the wall that must be accounted for. The plumbing for the faucet is run through the wall from behind instead of going up through the counter top.
What Types of Wall Mount Faucets Are Available?
As with any type of faucet, the wall mount varieties come in a wide array of metals, colors, and finishes. Some of the most common wall mount varieties seen in bathroom today are the more modern combinations of finishes and colors, such as brushed gunmetal, satin gold, and oil rubbed bronze. High polished chrome, a traditional faucet choice, is still popular as well though depending on the overall style of the faucet itself.
Most wall mount varieties come in the traditional three part faucet systems, containing a center spout and a two levers or knobs for hot and cold water. Instead of being connected with a back plate like most counter mounted faucets, the three separate components are typically mounted into the wall independently from one another. For those who prefer a one piece faucet with built in water temperature and flow controls, there are a few style of those to choose from on the market as well.
Unique in design and sleek in appearance, the wall mount vessel faucet is the perfect accessory to polish off your new modern bathroom.
