Top Mount Bathroom Sinks

This is the one in my daughters' shower room.. you can't really see it unfortunately because the door is blocking it but you get the gist...

Does anyone have a top-mount sink in their bathroom? This kind:

I heard they were supposed to be easier on your back and wonder if that's true?

I considered buying one very similar to this in your post, but then thought it seemed too small. I couldn't help thinking I would be forever wiping water from the flat surface around and outside of the bowl. In the end i bought something similar to the bottom photo seen in post #5, but bigger.

As for being easier on the back, I can't think of what difference it might make.

JMO, these were a change by decorators just for the sake of change. I can’t think of a positive. I don’t like having to use more effort in wiping up around it. It would be harder to put your hands in to splash your face.

My daughter chose that sink herself.. she had the whole shower room gutted of old fashioned fittings when she bought the house last year, put in underfloor heating.. new tiling.. new shower, new vanity.. electric heated illuminated mirror... and the vanity sink and beautiful taps.. . There's enough counter space for her to wash or brush her teeth, everything else is housed in the vanity cupboard

Am i just stupid…why does a mirror need to be heated?

Anti-fog bathroom mirrors contain a heated element which, when switched on, prevent the build-up of condensation which can occur when taking a bath or shower or running the hot tap on your basin. The end result is that you should be able to see a clear reflection at all times.


Anti-fog bathroom mirrors can go by a few different names, depending on who you speak to or where you search for them. Non misting bathroom mirrors, mirror with demister, anti-steam mirror and de-fog mirror are just some of the names. However, they all do pretty much the same thing.
Condensation occurs on windows and glass surfaces, when hot water from your bath, shower or basin turns into steam and then cools down again, turning back to a liquid.


Unfortunately, as it forms on surfaces like mirrors, which are cooler than the surrounding air, they tend to fog up, meaning their reflective properties are impaired.


To prevent this from happening, the surface of the mirror needs to be closer in temperature to the air temperature, which is where anti-fog bathroom mirrors do their thing.


When switched on, a heating element warms the surface of the mirror, which means condensation is far less likely to form, resulting in a fog-free mirror.
