This is one of the fixtures that are designed to give the bathroom a neo modern look. They mostly come in ceramic designs, and in many colors, shapes and sizes; you would be spoilt for choice when going to select yours. They are a must have for your bathroom especially if you lean a little on the aesthetic side of life, and you simply have got no choice other than to install one. The pedestal sink is made up of two parts which are actually bought separately: the sink, and the pedestal or the sink stand that is used to elevate the sink to standard size that gives you utmost comfort when you are using it. The bathroom sink pedestal comes in many designs that are meant for small or large bathrooms or as one might prefer.

Therefore, when going to choose what you want, you should consider the size of the bathroom as you only want to buy what can fit there. The most pleasing thing about sink pedestals is that they are utterly easy to fix in place and should take a short time to do so. Therefore, it calls for no particular expertise for you to do it and all that is needed is for you to have a few tools in hand and you are done. Among the things that you might need are a tape measure, trigonometric square, a mason’s hammer, drill and bit. Remember that the pedestal is not supposed to support the total weight of the sink; and therefore you require to drill two supporting studs to the wall just under the sink to support it.

Stand your bathroom sink pedestal at right angles to the ground and fix it into place with the screws that you had already drilled pilot holes for. If you fix it correctly, it should be able to stand on its own, fairly straight. Afterwards, place your sink on the pedestal as it sits on the support studs, and then fix its water fixtures to the water supply pipe. The sinks drainage system should be adjoined to the whole lavatories drainage system. Handle the pedestal and the sink carefully as ceramic is apt to break easily if it slips and falls to the floor. With a little luck on your side, you should be done in an hour’s time. To avoid messing up, remember that all sinks are sold with the installation instructions from the manufacturer. Check out if yours has one before you sign that delivery note or before you leave the hardware store.
