Wall Hung Basins

Choosing the right wall mounted basin can transform both the look and feel of your bathroom. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you find the perfect fit for your space.

 

What is a floating basin?

A floating basin is a bathroom sink that’s fixed directly to the wall with no pedestal or vanity unit beneath. They give bathrooms a modern look that keeps the floor space open and makes even small bathrooms feel bigger.

Because the basin "floats", all the pipework is neatly concealed within the wall, leaving nothing but smooth lines and a clutter-free finish. This makes them ideal for en-suites or cloakrooms where every inch matters.

 

Are wall hung basins easy to install?

Wall hung basins are designed to be versatile and can be mounted at almost any height, making them a great fit for bathrooms of all sizes. While they can be straightforward to install for an experienced hand, getting a secure finish usually calls for a professional touch.

As the entire basin is supported by the wall, the surface needs to be strong enough to bear the weight. Solid brick or masonry walls are ideal, while stud walls often require additional reinforcement or specialist fixings to ensure safety and stability. Installing onto a tiled wall not only protects the surface but also gives a polished finish.

Alongside the basin itself, you’ll need a few essentials to complete the setup;a basin waste, bottle trap and suitable brackets.

 

Which taps are best paired with wall hung basins?

Wall hung basins are best paired with wall mounted basin taps. This is a combination that keeps your surfaces clear and your bathroom looking streamlined. These taps are installed just above the basin, creating a clean setup that complements the floating look of a wall hung design.

When choosing your bathroom taps, make sure they’re compatible with your basin’s design and proportions, and allow enough clearance between the spout and bowl for comfortable use.
