Wall Mounted Sink
The wall mounted sink is one of the most basic and common of bathroom sinks found especially in older homes and apartments. It is used most often when space is tight and so is the budget.

These sinks mount, as the name suggests, directly to the wall with no floor support. They attach to special hanger brackets fastened to the wall and wall backup. Plumbing waste and supply lines may either be exposed or concealed in a "shroud" or cover fastened to the underside of the sink.
