Countertop Basins

A sit-on basin basin is essentially a basin mounted directly onto a level surface - such as a vanity unit or wall hung basin shelf. They look almost like a large dish or bowl, offering a stylish alternative to a regular basin.

Countertop basin, sit-on basin, vessel basin, and washbowl are terms used to describe different types of basins or sinks used in bathrooms. While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they do have subtle differences in their design and installation.

Counter Top Basin

A countertop basin is a type of sink that is designed to be mounted on top of a countertop or vanity unit. It sits above the counter surface, and the basin's rim is visible. Countertop basins come in various shapes and sizes, and they can be made from different materials such as ceramic or glass.

Sit-On Basin

A sit-on basin is similar to a countertop basin, but it typically has a larger and more pronounced rim that sits on top of the countertop. The basin appears to "sit on" the counter, and the rim is more visible and prominent. Sit-on basins often have a more classic or traditional appearance.

Vessel Basin

A vessel basin is a type of sink that sits entirely above the counter surface. It resembles a bowl or vessel placed on the countertop. Vessel basins are known for their modern and stylish appearance and are often used as statement pieces in contemporary bathroom designs.

Washbowl

The term "washbowl" is a generic one used to describe a bowl-shaped basin used for washing. In many cases, the term is used synonymously with vessel basin, but it can also refer to traditional bowl-shaped basins that may be inset into the countertop.
