Ceramics have long been a classic, so more and more non-trivial materials are appearing for those who want to add a twist to their bathroom.
There are a number of options on the modern market to suit any interior, taste and budget.
The expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, designer Yulia Tychino , spoke in more detail about these types of bathroom sinks.
Terrazzo
This is the name of a type of mosaic. The basis is natural materials (marble, quartz, granite).
Small or large parts are filled with a binding component and a sink with a beautiful pattern is obtained.
In the past, this was done for floors, but gradually the terrazzo technique began to be used for making tiles, countertops, window sills, and plumbing.
Tempered glass
At first glance, it may seem that glass is not the best material option for plumbing.
But tempered glass is highly durable. Such sinks can withstand sudden temperature changes and are scratch-resistant.
The products are quite thick, the edges are processed in such a way that it is impossible to get hurt on them.
petrified wood
An interesting material that will definitely add a special touch to your bathroom.
Natural stone with a wood pattern. This is wood that has been exposed to natural factors for hundreds of thousands of years. Over time, it has hardened and acquired the characteristics of stone.
After appropriate processing, a shell is obtained that combines the strength of stone and the aesthetics of wood. Often, the annual rings of the tree are clearly visible on such material.
This is a fairly heavy sink, so it needs a reliable support. For example, a wide countertop or a metal stand.
