8. Different types of Washbasins
The bathroom basin is something we come into close contact with several times a day, so it
not only needs to look great but also should suit your lifestyle and bathroom use. Multiple
basins are perfect for busy families who use the bathroom at the same time.
1) Wall hung basins
Wall hung basins are fixed directly onto the wall with brackets, creating a minimalist and
spacious look. Many basins come with full pedestal and semi pedestal to cover the
unsightly pipework.
a) Full pedestal wall hung basins
This is the classic basin that most people would think of when they imagine a bathroom.
While it appears that the basin is supported entirely by the pedestal, it’s actually mounted
on the wall.
b) Half pedestal wall hung basins
The semi pedestal basin is completely wall mounted, as the name suggests, is only half the
size of a full pedestal & only there to cover the pipework under the basin. These basins
save space by eliminating the standard pedestal design and creating more floor space
underneath, allowing you to use the underneath for storage or just to remain clear and
create the illusion of more room. Half pedestal wall hung basins are designed to give you
maximum functional utility.
The only drawback of wall hung basins would be, you cannot mount it to the wall if there is
any room beneath the basin. You can go for another style of basins mentioned below if
that's the case.
9. 2. Under countertop basins
A style that is becoming more popular is the Under
Countertop lavatory, which offers a smooth profile with
solid-surface, and is easy to clean. Under countertop,
lavatories are attached to the undersides of countertops,
vanities or console tables. For installing these types of
basins platform is necessary, granite is mostly preferred
choice.
Tabletop basins
This type of basin sits on top of a vanity unit or worktop,
so it appears almost as if it’s a separate bowl that could
be picked up and moved. This can create a very modern
and luxurious look and can suit a wide variety of
bathrooms.
Countertop basins
A Countertop basin also is known as the semi-recessed
basin is partly sunk into a vanity unit or worktop, so that
only the rim or the front part of the basin is visible. This
means the pipework is also hidden within with the unit.
