There are a few different types of basins for your bathroom on the market these days. The most popular type is the countertop basin, which is a small basin that sits on top of a counter or vanity.

There is also wall hung basins, underslung basins, drop in basins, basins and pedestals, semi-recessed basins, cabinet basins and free-standing basins.

Countertop Basins

The countertop basin is popular mainly because the entire shape of the basin can be seen and adds a design element to the vanity. A cabinet basin forms part of the vanity, and it does not stand out as much as the countertop basin.

Wall Hung Basins

Another type of basin is the wall-hung basin, which is mounted to a wall. Smaller bathrooms may not have room for a countertop basin and a wall-hung basin is an excellent alternative. Wall-hung basins are also a good option for those who do not want too much space taken up by unnecessary storage or those who would like to avoid bringing wooden cabinets into a wet bathroom area.

Vanity Top Basins

The third type is the vanity top basin. The vanity top basin is like the countertop basin but is much larger. It is typically made for use with a wall-mounted tap and is typically deeper and wider than the countertop basin.

For convenience, it is important to choose a basin that has a built-in tap or mixer. Some countertop basins are made of marble or other stone-like material, but many are made of granite or porcelain.

This is the most common of all the bathroom sinks. Some basins are designed to fit into a cut-out in the wall. This is a more attractive and permanent solution, but they are not suitable for all bathrooms. Another option is a pedestal sink which is a basin that rests on a pedestal that is sometimes made of lovely stone material. This type of basin often has a very elegant look. Another option is a pedestal basin.

If you have a small bathroom, you should look for a small basin. You should also look for a basin that has a low height to it.
