Four Types of Bathroom Basin to Elevate Your Home Bathroom Design
There are many bathroom basin designs to choose and it might
be confusing when you’re searching for the right option for your bathroom. Each
type of bathroom basin has its own character and is more suitable for a certain
type of bathroom design. We take a look at the characteristics and features of
four types of bathroom basins, and how they can fit in your bathroom project.
1. Pedestal Basin
This type of bathroom basin usually comes with a unified
body from the floor to the basin and is often attached to the wall with the
pipe work hidden inside the leg. Pedestal basins are exceptionally suitable for
larger sized bathrooms as its sleek and aesthetic features can be better
appreciated from a distance. This type of basin is also easier to maintain
thanks to its single moulded body with minimal crevices.
2. Countertop Basin
Countertop basins are one of the most common setups for a
bathroom basin. This type of basin is usually installed on a bathroom
countertop and sits directly above the counter. Countertop basins are quite
common as they are easy to install and fit various bathroom designs, be it a luxury
bathroom or a compact one. By sitting above the countertop, the space below or
inside the counter can be used to store bathroom amenities and accessories.
3. Undermount Basin
Undermount basins are the reversed form of countertop basin.
Instead of installing above the countertop, undermount basin is set below and
inside the cutout of a countertop. This type of basin is usually found in many
public spaces’ toilet and hotel’s bathroom. It is easy to clean as the
countertop drops into the undermount basin. This type of basin also allows more
space on the countertop to put personal care items.
4. Wall-hung basin
For a compact or small bathroom design, wall-hung basins are the ideal choice as most of the options available take minimal space on the bathroom wall. As its name suggest, wall-hung basin is installed directly on the wall and leaves ample free space below. This gives the bathroom a more spacious look as the basin does not have any footprints and allows the space to be used to put storage boxes or bins.
