There are all kinds of basins available that suit modern homes. Square, round, above counter, under counter, recessed, glass, ceramic, shallow, deep....you name it.

Can you tell me little more about your basins....??? Very impressed with them. Re: Bathroom Basins Which too Choose??? 16Mar 01, 2009 10:51 pm Hammerhead hi BuildingACT Can you tell me little more about your basins....??? Very impressed with them. Hi Hammerhead The first ones are called "Scoop" by Minosa and the second is called "Pure Stone" by Villeroy & Boch. There is a chance that we may not get the first ones if we can find similar ones that aren't quite as expensive The Pure Stone ones are a bit of an indulgence that we decided we were willing to pay a bit more for to have in the ensuite! Well...assuming we don't run out of money first!! Hope that helps! Re: Bathroom Basins Which too Choose??? 17Mar 05, 2009 4:50 pm SuH, I love your first basin. Care to share what it is? Re: Bathroom Basins Which too Choose??? 18Mar 08, 2009 3:18 pm borg, what did you choose?

Looks great but the water doesn't drain as nicely as a traditional round basin. Gotta be more careful rinsing it for whiskers, soap scum, etc... will go more bowlesq next time. Also takes a fair bit of water to fill up to use since its a bigger surface area before it starts filling up. Anthony Firstly, wow you have put a lot of work into your list of questions!
