Your Complete Wash Basin Buying Guide
How To Choose The Right Wash Basin
When choosing the right basin for your bathroom you will need to consider a few key factors:
1. Type of basin - The type of basin you pick will depend on the space available and the aesthetic you want to achieve in your bathroom, for example, a wall-hung basin would be suitable for smaller bathrooms.
2. Size and shape - The size and shape of the basin that will fit in your bathroom can also help to maximise your bathroom space.
3. Material – The type of material you choose will determine the style and texture of your basin. Ceramic basins are commonly used in bathrooms due to their durability and variety in styles.
4. Basin Tap - The type of tap(s) is also as important as choosing the right basin. You will need a tap that is a suitable height and style to your wash basin to avoid any chances of splashback or mounting issues.
5. Mounting - The mounting process is different depending on the style of basin or tap you want.
Types of Basins:
- Pedestal Basins
- Wall-Hung Basins
- Countertop Basins
PEDESTAL BASIN
Pedestal basins are a classic example of a traditional wash basin option in the UK bathrooms. The pedestal is designed to hold the basin on top, which is securey attached to the wall, while effortlessly concealing the pipework and plumbing, leaving you with a clean and tidy finish.
Pedestal Options:
- Full pedestals are designed to reach the bathroom floor, providing full-weight support for the basin on top.
- Half-pedestals basins do not reach the floor, however, are mounted to the wall, like wall-hung toilets, these basins give the illusion of increased space and are perfect for smaller bathrooms.
With whatever basin you choose, you can match it with the perfect pedestal at Grohe.
