Bathroom Basins and Vanities

Choosing a Bathroom Basin or Vanity

The right bathroom basin depends on the available space, installation method, preferred material and location of the plumbing. Check the complete product dimensions and installation requirements before finalising cabinetry, benchtops or plumbing positions.

Vessel Basins

Vessel basins sit above the benchtop and create a distinctive focal point. The benchtop height must allow for the height of the basin, and the selected tapware must provide suitable clearance and reach.

Our vessel collection includes ceramic, glass and stainless-steel designs in round, oval and oblong shapes.

Wall-Hung and Semi-Recessed Basins

Wall-hung basins keep the floor clear and can help a compact bathroom appear more spacious. The wall must provide suitable structural support for the basin and its fixings.

Semi-recessed basins project beyond the front of the cabinetry. They can be useful where shallower bathroom cabinets are required.

Explore our Laufen Basins and Vanities for wall-hung, semi-recessed, countertop and basin-and-shroud options.

Drop-In Basins

Drop-in basins fit into a prepared opening in the benchtop. Our collection includes stainless-steel designs in several diameters, together with a larger ceramic Laufen basin.

Confirm the required cut-out dimensions before the benchtop is manufactured or altered.

Basins with Cabinets

A basin and cabinet combination provides washing space and bathroom storage in one coordinated unit. Browse our Basin and Cabinet Collection for wall-hung vanity options and other integrated designs.

Check the overall width, depth, plumbing clearance and wall-support requirements before ordering.

Glass Basins

Glass basins provide a distinctive alternative to conventional white ceramic. The collection includes compact wall-mounted designs and glass vessel basins.

Consider the visibility of water marks, the supporting structure and the recommended cleaning method when choosing a glass basin.

Mattstone Basins

Mattstone basins offer a softer matt appearance and sculptural contemporary styling. Check the product dimensions, weight and mounting requirements carefully.

Choosing the Correct Size

Measure the available width and depth, allowing sufficient clearance for doors, drawers and movement through the bathroom. In a smaller room, consider a compact, corner or wall-hung basin.

Larger basins provide more usable surface area but require adequate wall or cabinetry support.

Tap Holes, Taps and Wastes

Before ordering, confirm:

• Whether the basin has a tap hole
• The number and position of any tap holes
• Whether an overflow is included
• The required waste type and diameter
• Whether a bottle trap or other plumbing fittings will remain visible
• Whether wall-mounted, extended-height or standard basin tapware will be used

Your plumber should confirm compatibility before plumbing positions, cabinetry and benchtop openings are finalised.
