As the name suggests, a hand wash basin allows one to wash their hands after a visit to the toilet. Available as either a countertop or wall-mounted version, it comes in different shapes to suit all tastes and configurations.
Hand wash basins vary in their shapes to fit the space.
- Rectangular, square, or asymmetrical models of large dimensions are available for spacious toilets. This type of sanitary equipment most often comes with integrated storage intended for toiletries and cleaning products.
- Compact models are also offered for smaller toilets. They are characterized by their depth being less than 20 cm.
- Corner models provide an alternative for narrow rooms. Some versions include storage.
- Other versions take the form of simple bowls to be placed on furniture.
The available sanitary equipment also differs by their installation system.
- Countertop models have the advantage of being easy to install. As their name indicates, they are placed on a piece of furniture.
- Wall-mounted models are attached to the wall using fixing brackets, anchors, and screws. Some versions come with storage while others include a mechanism to conceal pipes.
Hand wash basins differ by their manufacturing material.
- Ceramic models are the most common. They are resistant to shocks and scratches. Furthermore, this material is easy to maintain.
- Stone models are valued for their natural aspect, giving them originality. They are famous for their durability.
- Glass models add a touch of modernity to the room's decor.
Some sanitary equipment comes with various accessories:
- a free-flow waste plug or one with grates;
- a trap;
- a simple cold water tap, a mixer, a thermostatic mixer, or an infrared automatic model.
Choosing a countertop or built-in hand wash basin thus depends on the available space, but also on individual tastes (material, design).
