Modern Pedestal

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is a pedestal basin?

A pedestal basin is a bathroom sink that comes with a matching pedestal beneath it. The pedestal supports the basin and hides the plumbing, creating a clean and tidy finish.

2. What types of pedestal basins are available?

• Full pedestal basins – the pedestal runs from the floor to the basin, fully concealing pipework.

• Semi-pedestal basins – wall-mounted basins with a shorter pedestal that doesn’t reach the floor, giving a modern, floating look while still covering the waste.

3. What sizes do pedestal basins come in?

They’re available in a wide range of sizes, from compact cloakroom basins (400–500mm wide) to standard family bathroom sizes (550–600mm) and even larger designs (650mm+) for luxury bathrooms.

4. Are pedestal basins old-fashioned?

Not at all. While they’re a classic design, pedestal basins are available in both traditional styles (with decorative detailing) and modern minimalist versions with clean, simple lines.

5. Do pedestal basins come with taps and wastes included?

Usually not. Most are sold as basin + pedestal only, with taps and wastes purchased separately. They’re available with 1 or 2 tap holes depending on your chosen brassware.
