New - The Smallest Onyx Bowl We Make - The Café Bowl

	The Café Bowl gives an updated option to answer the question, "What is the smallest bowl Onyx makes?" It will work well in very tight places where space is limited, such as small bathrooms in houses, powder rooms, and other unique situations. This bowl style is designed to fit on tops 17" or 19" deep but can be configured in almost any way to use the space available.  The rectangular shape and centered drain allow the bowl to be turned if needed. The faucet can also be located on the side for more space options.

New Option for Remodeler's Kit and New Custom Base Design Available Online

Side Trim Remodel Option
We now offer 5/8" Flat Trim as an option when needing a Remodeler's Kit. The Onyx wall panels would be installed flush with the front edge of the shower base or tub and the trim would be installed just outside of the panels. A Remodeler's Kit is used when it is necessary to extend the Onyx material past the front edge of the base or tub in order to cover the seam between old and new sheetrock.

Ordering Tip - Order Panels 1" Oversized for Trimming

We offer several sizing options for wall panels. In most cases, we recommend choosing the "Oversize Each Panel about 1 inch  for Trimming" option. Due to many walls being out of plumb or bowing, many Onyx wall panels need to be trimmed on site for a good fit. The additional width of the panel allows the panel to be trimmed to create a tight seam in the corner and still be installed flush with the front edge of the shower base.

Merry Christmas!

When to Use 22” and 22 1/2” Deep Lavatories

22" deep lavatories work best with traditional style vanity cabinets.
The traditional overlay style vanity cabinet has a visible face-frame. A 22" deep lavatory has the appropriate overhang for this style of cabinet. (Please see diagram)

22 1/2" deep lavatories work best with modern or full-overlay vanity cabinets.
The modern or full-overlay cabinets have no visible face-frame and therefore appear deeper. The extra 1/2" is needed in order to maintain the appropriate overhang appearance. (Please see diagram)
Other installations which may also benefit by using the 22 1/2" deep lavatories are:
When the framing wall leans back and away from the cabinet, the lavatory will sit farther back on the cabinet and the additional depth is needed to maintain proper overhang. When using a 1” or 1 1/2” thick lavatory, the extra overhang often looks more appropriate. When more overhang is desired.
