Finding the perfect countertop washbasin for the bathroom at home

Countertop basins, often also referred to as wash bowls or countertop bowls, are washbasins that are placed on top of a vanity top, cabinet or washbasin console. These washbasins are not integrated directly into the console, as other variants are, and are therefore shown off to even better advantage. This airy design is becoming increasingly popular at the washbasin and is being implemented in more and more bathrooms. As there are many different variants, you will certainly find what you are looking for in our online shop.

What do you have to consider when making a decision?

When deciding on an item, it should be noted that the bathroom furniture or console has at least one opening so that the water can drain off. This opening is usually provided ex works. If you have decided on a console that does not have an opening for a basin, we will always coordinate the appropriate hole for your countertop washbasin in consultation with you. A countertop washbasin or washbasin bowl is usually installed with a wall-mounted fitting or floor-standing fitting on or next to the washbasin. Which variant you ultimately choose is entirely up to you. The sizes and diameters (ø) for a countertop washbasin are also varied and need to be well thought out so that it also fits the size of your bathroom. Whether 50cm or 60cm - we will be happy to help you clarify these or similar questions regarding washbasins.

Combine washbasin top

Aufsatzwaschtische können mit verschiedenen Möbeln optimal kombiniert werden. Dies kann ein Waschtischunterschrank oder aber eine Platte bzw. Waschtischplatte aus beispielsweise Eiche oder Naturstein sein. Hier können Sie sich frei an Ihrem Badezimmerkonzept sowie an ihren persönlichen Bedürfnissen orientieren. Benötigen Sie im Bad beispielsweise zusätzlichen Stauraum, so macht die Entscheidung für einen Unterschrank Sinn. Wenn Sie das Bad möglichst luftig gestalten möchten und keinen weiteren Stauraum benötigen, ist die Entscheidung für eine schlichte Holzplatte richtig. Wichtig ist es nur hier Platz für die Installation von Armaturen sowie des Siphons zu lassen.

Rechteckig oder run?

Countertop washbasins can be optimally combined with various pieces of furniture. This can be a vanity unit or a top or vanity top made of oak or natural stone, for example. Here you can freely orientate yourself to your bathroom concept and your personal needs. For example, if you need additional storage space in the bathroom, it makes sense to opt for a vanity unit. If you want to make the bathroom as airy as possible and don't need any additional storage space, the decision in favour of a plain wooden top is the right one. It is only important to leave space here for the installation of taps and the siphon.

Various materials

The question of whether round or square is settled? Then you still have to decide what material the new washbasin should be made of. If you have already considered buying a bathtub or shower, you are probably already familiar with the variety of materials that are also available for washbasins. In addition to many manufacturer-specific materials, such as high-quality Quaryl at Villeroy & Boch, however, 3 popular materials usually crystallise out:

Ceramic washbasin
Steel enamel
Mineral cast

Each material differs in terms of mouldability, feel, care, robustness and hygiene. With a countertop washbasin, you not only have a choice of colour, you can also decide whether your model is better integrated into your bathroom in a matt or glossy finish. The durability also varies from material to material. Here, too, you are free to choose the material that suits you best. You've probably already noticed: countertop washbasins are available in many different versions and can be selected entirely according to individual wishes and ideas. If you place particular value on cleanliness and easy-care surfaces, you should opt for the CeramicPlus surface. It offers the advantage that liquids that hit it turn directly into beads and flow into the sink.

Finding a suitable tap

Various taps are particularly suitable for a countertop washbasin. You can choose either a model with wall mounting or a free-standing fitting for mounting directly on the basin. For this, you must ensure that the selected model has a tap hole or a tap hole bore. This is the only way that a tap can be fitted to the washbasin. There are variants with and without a tap hole bench, which can be used at the wash place for an additional shelf for soap or toothbrush tumbler, for example. Whether a floor-standing model or the variant for the wall - both solutions can be used ideally.

See for yourself the countless possibilities and find the model that fits perfectly into your bathroom concept. In our online shop, you can take a look at various models of countertop washbasins in different shapes at your leisure and let yourself be inspired. Whether ceramic, steel enamel or mineral material, with or without tap hole and overflow - you are guaranteed to choose the right model.
