What Are Different Types Of Basins?

Different types of basins include:

  1. Full Pedestal Basin - This ceramic basin comes with a full-size pedestal. The pedestal conceals the water inlet pipes and waste outlet pipes. It is one of the most popular basins sold in the UK.
  2. Semi Pedestal Basin - Designed to be wall-hung, this basin type features a smaller, half-sized pedestal to conceal the waste pipe. Use a semi-pedestal basin only when your waste pipe exits through the wall beneath the basin.
  3. Wall Hung Basin (Floating Sink) - This wall-mounted basin offers a minimalist, space-saving design, ideal for small to mid-sized bathrooms. It attaches directly to the wall with a Fischer bolt fixing kit (available at any DIY store).
  4. Countertop Sink Basin - This bathroom sink sits on top of a countertop or vanity unit. It is available with or without tap holes and offers a modern, glamorous look for contemporary bathrooms.
  5. Recessed basins - There are two versions of Recessed basins:
  • Semi-Recessed - This basin partially sits within a cabinet, extending outward to maximise floor space.
  • Fully Recessed (Inset Basins) - This basin is installed flush with the vanity unit top, concealing the entire basin except for the rim.

What Materials Are Bathroom Sinks Made From?

Most bathroom sinks are made from ceramic, but materials like porcelain, glass, and natural stone are also available. Each material offers different design and durability features.

For example, a natural stone basin can be a great addition to your bathroom space. This beautiful basin type is handcrafted from a single piece of stone, giving each one a unique character. Pairing them with a stylish modern tap can further elevate the aesthetic of your bathroom.

What Is The Standard Size of A Bathroom Wash Basin?

Wash basins come in a variety of sizes to suit different bathroom designs and space requirements.

Standard basin widths range from 400mm to 600mm. Larger basins, up to 1000mm wide, are suitable for spacious bathrooms. They offer ample space for two people simultaneously, making them ideal for family bathrooms.

How to Choose The Right Bathroom Basin?

Important factors to consider when buying a basin: Bathroom size, plumbing setup, and style preferences. For smaller spaces, wall-hung or semi-recessed basins are ideal.

Larger bathrooms may benefit from countertop sinks or freestanding vanity units with basin.
