A vessel sink sits on top of the counter for a striking look, but its plumbing needs care. Here is the New Rochelle homeowner's guide.
The drain setup
Vessel sinks use a pop-up or grid drain that sits differently from a standard sink. The drain must be sealed carefully to the basin.
Faucet height
Because the basin sits high, the faucet must be taller or wall-mounted to clear it. Get the faucet and sink as a matched pair if possible.
