Surface/ Waterplane Basins

Looking for something more “designer”? Surface basins are a very low profile, almost flat basin.

They are ideally used in powder rooms, as their shallow bowl is generally not suitable for main bathroom use, e.g. shaving.

Surface basins are available as a bench mounted vessel basin or a wall mounted basin.

The visual effect of a surface basin is clearly stunning and will certainly create a elegant and modern focal point in your bathroom.

SURFACE BASIN DESIGN:
• Surface basins designs are slimline, modern and minimalist. They are ideally suited for a modern style bathroom room.

• Surface basins will generally be made from porcelain or vitreous china, stone and some man-made composite materials.

SURFACE BASIN SHAPES:
• Surface basin shapes are very simple. Round, Square, oval and rectangular are the most standard shapes.

SURFACE BASIN SIZE:
• Surface basins will range from small round and square basins to large rectangle or oval basins.

• The depth of the bowl is very shallow, about 50mm.

TAPWARE FOR SURFACE BASINS:
• Surface basins are available with 1 taphole for a standard mixer tap, 3 tapholes for conventional tapware, or no tapholes.

• No taphole basins require the tapware to be wall mounted or bench mounted.

• Make sure before choosing a surface basin you know what tapware options you can choose. You may already have the plumbing set to a particular type, e.g. Wall mounted tapware.
