The state of a restroom can heavily influence a customer’s experience in your commercial facility, whether it’s a store or a busy restaurant. A clean, classy, and accessible restroom is sure to make a positive impact on your guests.
While some restroom designs can work well for decades, there are times when your commercial restroom may need an overhaul. That’s where your local custom builders come in.
Your Best Options for Commercial Bathroom Sinks
The focal point of your restroom — aside from the obvious “business area,” of course — will generally be the sink. Commercial bathroom sinks are the first thing customers see when they step into the restroom and are often their last stop before leaving. So, it’s worth giving some serious consideration to the sink you want to install.
Here are five of the most practical, stylish, and modern options available for commercial bathroom sinks:
Wall-Mounted Sinks
Wall-mounted sinks are a common choice for commercial bathroom sinks, as they provide a clean and modern look while saving valuable space. With no bulky cabinets or vanities underneath, the sink floats effortlessly off the wall. This sleek and minimalist style can add a sense of spaciousness, making it an ideal fit for smaller commercial bathrooms.
These types of sinks offer a few practical benefits as well. They’re generally easy to clean, considering there are fewer corners and edges to navigate around. This makes it simpler for cleaning staff to maintain commercial hygiene standards. Wall-mounted sinks are also ideal for wheelchair accessibility, ensuring people with physical disabilities can still use the sink with ease.
Pedestal Sinks
Pedestal sinks are a stylish and functional choice for commercial bathrooms. They feature a basin that sits atop a freestanding pedestal base, which can be made from a variety of materials including porcelain, metal, or glass. The design is both elegant and timeless, and has been shown to work in a variety of settings, from traditional to contemporary.
Like wall-mounted sinks, pedestal sinks are easy to clean since there are fewer nooks and crannies in which dirt and dust can accumulate. The open design of the base also ensures quick access to pipes and plumbing, making general maintenance a simple process.
Undermount Sinks
Undermount sinks are a popular choice for many modern commercial bathrooms due to their sleek, seamless look. These sinks are mounted beneath a countertop, providing ample counter space with a smooth, easily maintained surface.
You can find these types of sinks in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials, making them one of the more versatile options for a commercial restroom design. Since the sink is mounted beneath the countertop, there is no lip to catch debris or water. They’re more convenient for guests (nobody likes when the hem of their shirt gets wet on the countertop) and they’re better for maintaining cleanliness.
Vessel Sinks
Vessel sinks are the statement piece among commercial bathroom sinks. These sinks feature a basin that sits on top of the countertop rather than recessing into it. Visually, this can provide a nice focal point for the room.
A wide variety of styles allow for a greater range of design possibilities. Glass, stone, and metal are particularly popular materials for vessel sinks since they convey a sense of luxury and class to any restroom. They’re also generally larger than some of the alternative commercial bathroom sinks, making them a practical and stylish option for a bathroom renovation.
Trough Sinks
Among all commercial bathroom sinks, trough sinks are one of the most functional (and modern) options for any restroom. These sinks are typically long and narrow, with multiple faucets draining into the same basin. Practically speaking, this makes them a perfect choice for areas that need to make the most of the available space or experience a higher volume of users.
Trough sinks can be wall-mounted or freestanding, and they’re available in a variety of quality materials like porcelain, stainless steel, quartz, and granite. The long, narrow design of a trough sink allows multiple guests to wash their hands simultaneously. A single, wide sink is also far less complicated to clean than multiple sinks with spaces or dividers between, reducing a bit of the time and effort required for maintenance.
