Above Counter Basins
Above counter basins are the basins that sit over the top of the vanity unit. They are great because they are versatile, they will work with an extended height of tapware, and they don’t take up any of the cupboard space in your vanity, so they’re great for those with storage space limitations.
Maximise Functionality and Style with Above Counter Basins
Above counter basins bring a modern flair and added practicality to your bathroom. One of the key benefits of opting for an above-counter vanity basin is its flexibility in tapware selection. Whether you're looking for basin mixers or separate basin taps, you'll have more choices with above counter setups.
In terms of style, above counter basins offer many options that can align with any décor or architectural design. From minimalist shapes like rectangles and ovals to more intricate designs, at Cass Brothers there's something to suit every taste. Colours are no exception; with hues ranging from classic white to darker tones like matte black, you can coordinate effortlessly with the rest of your bathroom. Sizes are also varied, catering to grand bathroom spaces and more modest powder rooms.
How to Choose the Right Above Counter Basin for You
When shopping for an above-counter basin, consider your bathroom's existing layout and style. If your decor leans more towards traditional, you might opt for a stone basin with classical detailing. For modern setups, sleek, minimalist designs generally work best.
Size is another crucial factor. Always take into account the size of your vanity and bathroom space. Make sure to measure the height, depth, and width before making a decision. Additionally, consider the material—ceramic is often easier to clean and maintain, while materials like stone add a touch of luxury.
Your choice of tapware is integral as well. With above counter basins, you have the flexibility to choose from a broad range of basin taps and basin mixers. Match the tapware style and finish with your chosen basin for a cohesive look.
