Double Sink Vanities: a Faucet Guide for Two Basins

A double top doubles the faucet job. Instead of one faucet, you shop for two, because each basin has its own drilling and its own set of holes. None of the double sink vanities at Veil includes a faucet, so the pattern drilled into the top decides what you can buy. Two of the three models use an 8 in widespread pattern at each sink, while the third uses a single hole per basin, drilled for single-lever faucets. This guide walks through both patterns model by model, and it shows you what to confirm before you order. Every model named here sits in the double sink bathroom vanity collection at Veil.

You Need Two Faucets, Not One

One basin takes one faucet, so a double vanity takes two. That sounds obvious, but it changes the order in two ways. First, the cost doubles, because faucets are not included with any of the three models in this range. So budget for two faucets from the start, not one. Second, the two faucets sit side by side on the same top, so a finish mismatch shows at once. Buy both faucets together, from the same line, so the metal and the finish match across the top. On all three Veil models, both basins also share one drilling pattern. So the pair you buy is two of the same type, one for each basin, and the sections below show which type each model takes.

The Widespread Pattern on Double Sink Vanities

Two models, the Cambridge Double Sink and the Stafford, are drilled 8 in widespread at each sink. A widespread faucet comes as three separate pieces: a spout in the middle and a handle on each side. The outer holes sit 8 in apart, so each basin needs three holes of its own. Across a double top, that makes six holes in total, three per basin. You mount each piece through its own hole, which also means you can spread the handles a little wider or narrower within the drilled layout.

The Cambridge Double Sink carries this pattern at every size. Its tops run 61, 67 and 73 in wide, over cabinets of 60, 66 and 72 in, and each top holds two rectangular undermount porcelain sinks. The drilling stays 8 in widespread at each sink across the whole range, so the faucet type does not change when the width does. The Stafford is the widest model here at 84 in, and it follows the same rule. Its top holds two porcelain undermount sinks, and each sink is drilled 8 in widespread. So on both models, you order two widespread faucet sets, and each set serves one basin.

One Hole per Basin: the Maranon

The Maranon takes the other route. This model is a 60 in floating vanity with a solid surface trough top, so both basins sit in one shared double-basin unit instead of two separate bowls. The top carries 1 pre-drilled hole per basin, and that hole is drilled for a single-lever faucet. A single-lever faucet mounts through one hole, with the lever fixed to the faucet body, so each basin gets one compact piece instead of three separate ones.

You still buy two faucets for this model, because each basin has its own hole and its own water user. But the pair you buy is two single-lever faucets, not two widespread sets. So the model, not the basin count alone, decides the faucet type. A widespread set cannot mount on the Maranon top, because the holes are not there. And a single-lever faucet cannot fill the three holes drilled for a widespread set on the Cambridge or the Stafford.

Confirm the Pattern Before You Buy

The pattern belongs to the basin and the size, not to the room. On these three double sink vanities, both basins share one pattern, and the pattern holds across each model's sizes. But that is not a rule you can carry to every vanity. On other models and other ranges, a drilling pattern can change when the size changes, so never carry a pattern from one size to another without checking the line for your exact size first.

One number is missing everywhere, though. No listing in this range states a faucet hole diameter, and the pattern name alone does not give you that size. The pattern tells you the layout of the holes, while the diameter tells you how wide each hole is. So check the product page for your exact size before you order. If the top is already with you, measure the drilling itself before the faucets go in the basket. And here is the when-not-to-buy line: if the drilling line for your size is missing or unclear, do not order the faucets yet. A faucet that does not match the holes will not mount, and on a double top the mistake costs you twice.

The same check applies when you shop double bathroom vanities anywhere: read the drilling line for the exact size, count the faucets at two, and only then pick a finish.
