Sinks have certainly come a long way. The sink, and the accompanying faucet are more fashionable today than our grandmothers, or even our mothers could have imagined! You are only limited by your imagination.

Imagine a gorgeous glass sink seemingly floating upon a rod iron filigree base, this is what is called a vessel sink. Imagine washing your hands over a glass sink of shimmering gold opalescent that looks like something from Dale Chihuly’s glass studio. How about a lovely ceramic sink that has decorations reminiscent of a blue Ming vase? Is that really the Mona Lisa looking back up at your from that sink? These sinks are available in glass, painted ceramic, stone and granite, wood, copper, or mosaic. Then, there is the decision of shape of the sink, round, oval or square, or perhaps somewhere in between.

Don’t worry, if you have a Victorian home you are restoring you are in luck. The good old white ceramic pedestal sink is still alive and well, if you want one.

Needless to say, along with the modernization and beautification of sinks has come the modernization and beautification of faucets! There are still the traditional two handle faucets, single control faucets and wall mount faucets. Again, only your imagination holds you back in the creation of your new bathroom. Faucets can now be mounted on the floor behind, or beside a vessel sink instead of taking room on a vanity. Faucets for vessel sinks are found in a wide range of finish and style. Polished chrome or brushed nickel, brass, copper and pewter are just some of the finishes available. You will want to look for a faucet with a PVD finish. This “physical vapor deposition” finish is state of the art and bonds the finish to the faucet. It is the most durable finish available in faucets today. PVD protected faucets will not corrode, tarnish or discolor.

When it comes to excellence in kitchen, bath and shower faucets,
Hansgrohe faucets are the name to trust. Since 1901, they
have been providing innovating products to discerning consumers.
Their original workshop was located in Germany’s Black Forest.
Now the company has twenty major offices around the world. They
also serve customers in over seventy countries.

Hansgrohe faucets come in both modern and contemporary designs.
They are made to enhance any kitchen or bathroom. Many people
turn to their designs when it is time to re-model the kitchen or
bathroom. Recently, the company has undertaken a very extensive
launch of a new line of products. The new Axor collection
continues its leading edge quality design.

The Axor collection was created along with a well-known French
designer Jean-Marie Massaud. The main piece in the new designs
is the lavatory mixer. It features an asymmetrical shelf like
surface, which is approximately sixteen inches wide. The base of
the mixer is quite slim and bends upwards into a slight curve.
The designers liken the shape to a blade of grass. A sheet of
water descends from the edge of the shelf into a white washbowl.
It is a remarkable design that is unique and artistic.

The bathroom is a very individual room and Hansgrohe faucets are
designed with that individuality in mind. The product line
consists of:

• Shower massagers
• Shower
  diverters
• Hand showers
• Lavatory faucets
• Bidets
• Tub fillers
• Electronic
  faucets
• Deck valves
• Shower sets
• Thermostatic mixers
• Shower arcs

Hansgrohe faucets also feature the worlds first adjustable hand
shower. In addition, hand shower hoses that are kink proof have
also been introduced to the market. Besides all the hardware the
company provides, they also have a long line of bathroom
hardware accessories available as well. A search on your
favorite search engine will provide all the updated information
available on this quality manufacturer.
