Wash Basins in Pakistan: Pedestal, Wall-Hung, Countertop and Art-Bowl Types, Sizes and Prices
Wash basins are used many times a day, so size, height and finish matter. The main types are pedestal, wall-hung, countertop and art-bowl basins, in ceramic, glass or stone, and each needs a matching faucet and waste. This guide covers types, sizes, materials, faucet holes, fixing and indicative prices. For sinks, see bathroom sinks, and for vanity units, bathroom vanity.
Types of wash basin
Choose by space and style.
| Type | Strengths | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pedestal | Classic, hides pipes | Needs floor space |
| Wall-hung | Frees floor | Needs a strong wall |
| Countertop and art bowl | Design feature | Needs a counter and tall faucet |
| Undermount | Clean counter | Needs stone or solid top |
| Corner | Compact rooms | Small bowl |
Sizes and height
Common widths are 16 to 24 inches, with the rim at about 32 to 34 inches. Leave elbow room beside the basin, at least about 20 inches from the centre of the basin to a side wall, and check that the door does not hit it. A basin that is too small splashes onto the floor, and one that is too large crowds a compact bathroom. Take the basin and faucet height together, because a tall faucet on a shallow bowl splashes badly. Look at the basin from the side before you buy.
Materials
Vitreous ceramic is standard and easy to clean. Glass and stone are decorative but need care.
Faucet holes and waste
Match the faucet to the basin holes. See bathroom faucets and check the waste size.
Basins with vanities
Choose a basin that suits the counter. See vanities and the basin and vanity buying guide.
