Basin Design
Look at the profile and details alongside the other fittings in the room. Compare the product dimensions even when replacing something with a similar appearance. A pedestal basin can cover pipework below the bowl, while a wall-mounted design leaves the floor open. Countertop basins sit above the worktop, and inset or semi-recessed designs have different cut-out and support requirements. Choose the format before narrowing down the size.
Size & Tap Holes
Use the product drawing to check how far the basin projects into the room and how much bowl space you will have. A smaller bowl can work well in a cloakroom, especially if the tap has a suitably short spout. Allow extra width if a tap or soap dispenser will sit beside the bowl.
Taps & Wastes
Match the waste to the basin’s overflow arrangement and the tap to its hole layout. For a countertop bowl, consider a tall or wall-mounted tap with enough reach into the bowl. Check whether the basin is supplied with mounting hardware or needs additional support. Check the clearance for the trap inside the cabinet or behind the pedestal.
