Glass Vessel Sinks

Techniques Used To Make Glass Vessel Sinks 

Just as there are different temperatures that you use when you are working with glass, there are different techniques used to make glass sinks as well.

1. Fused and Slumped: Different pieces of glass are heated and allowed to melt together and then cooled into a solid smooth piece. Once the artist has the solid piece it is placed over the sink mold and heated just enough that it "slumps" into the mold. Then, it is quickly cooled to avoid cracking.
2. Hand Blown Glass: This may be what you typically think of when you think of artistic glass, but it is also used in producing glass sinks. The artist heats the glass at the end of a hollow pipe or tube and then blows into the tube to make a hollow center. Then the artist is able to shape and later cut the glass to fit the desired shape.
3. Mosaic Glass: This is done by using cold cut glass pieces glued to a glass sink bowl and which are then grouted, cemented, sealed, and coated with a finish.

Glass Sink Maintenance and Care 

Glass sinks might be durable, but it must be properly maintained to make sure it lasts a long time.

• You should clean it with plain water or with a mild glass cleaner regularly and wipe the sink dry every after use so that water spots do not develop. If your sink is textured, make sure that you wipe the outside area regularly. Never use abrasive bathroom cleaners as they can scour or full the glass surface.
• Do not ever allow metals, steel or other glass objects to come in contact with the glass as they can chip or scratch its surface.
• Never allow boiling hot water to flow into the sink as it may cause the glass to crack.
