With remodeling and renovation of homes becoming increasingly more popular, many current homeowners are investing their hard earned money in their homes to boost property values in today's flagging housing market. The rate of return on a bathroom remodel is about 80 to 90 percent, making the investment in a bathroom renovation well worth the cost. Wall sinks have become more popular for remodeling your bathroom, as they can save space in a bathroom with limited space and are relatively low in price, compared to many other sink types.

Wall sinks are designed to have no need for a countertop, and the great majority of them come with one to three holes pre-drilled for faucet installation. These sinks allow for the plumbing to and from the unit to be exposed, but many of these units have extra hardware that either can come with it or be purchased separately that can conceal these plumbing pipes. There are many companies today that offer different styles of bathroom wall sinks, and these units can also be composed of a vast array of materials, such as ceramic, granite and stainless steel.

Every sink is fundamentally different, and you can select just about any style and color to complement the design style you are trying to achieve in your new bathroom. Most local home improvement stores carry a wide variety of units to match almost any decor. The installation of your newly purchased unit is fairly simple, quick and inexpensive. The sinks are typically hung from a metal bracket directly attached to the wall studs behind the sink fixture, and most of the time it is necessary to remove a small piece of drywall to properly hang the fixture. To mount the sink to the wall, first you must position the mounting plate on the surface, all the while ensuring that it is level.

Mark the position of the holes on the wall with a pencil, and drill the holes. Install the faucet and drain hardware to the unit. Screw down the metal mounting plate to the blocking of the sink securely to the manufacturer's specifications with lag screws, and then recheck the mounting plate and unit to ensure they are level. Then, drive in the rest of the fasteners with the drill. Connect the drain and the faucet to the appropriate plumbing fixtures, and reapply water to the sink.

Now you are all done and can start enjoying your newly designed bathroom.
