With an abundance of basin options on the market, making a decision may seem overwhelming. However, each basin type serves a distinct purpose. Once you've determined your specific needs, choosing the right basin typically boils down to considerations of size and aesthetics.

Basins are commonly installed in various ways: they can sit on the counter, be wall-mounted or pedestal-mounted, freestanding, inset, under-counter, or semi-recessed.We also offer cloakroom basins and corner basins. Once you've selected your taps, you can then determine the appropriate tap hole configuration for your basin.

• 0 Tap Hole – Suitable for wall-mounted mixers or countertop-mounted mixers.
• 1 Tap Hole – Designed for monobloc mixers.
• 2 Tap Hole – Intended for use with hot and cold pillar taps.
• 3 Tap Hole – Compatible with hot and cold valves and a spout, typically used with a 3-piece mixer configuration.

For all basin taps, it's essential to have 15mm hot and cold water feeds and a trap connected to a 32mm waste pipe.

Opting for hygienic glazes is a wise choice, as they effectively eliminate harmful germs and bacteria, ensuring that your basin remains clean and attractive-looking for an extended period.
