Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is a semi-recessed basin?
A semi-recessed basin is a sink that is partly set into a vanity unit or countertop, with the front of the basin projecting slightly over the edge. This creates a neat, built-in look while still maximising counter and storage space.
2. What are the benefits of a semi-recessed basin?
-
Space-saving – ideal for smaller bathrooms where depth is limited.
-
Stylish – combines the clean lines of fitted furniture with the soft curves of an exposed basin front.
-
Practical – the projecting edge makes it easier to lean over and wash without reaching too far back.
-
Extra storage – works with vanity units, so you gain cupboard or drawer space underneath.
3. What sizes do semi-recessed basins come in?
They’re typically 450–600mm wide, with shallower depths than standard inset basins. Compact models are available for cloakrooms, while larger versions suit family bathrooms.
4. Do semi-recessed basins come with tap holes?
Yes. Most come with 1 or 2 pre-drilled tap holes, but you can also find models designed for wall-mounted taps depending on the style of your furniture.
5. What furniture works with a semi-recessed basin?
They’re designed for use with vanity units or fitted bathroom furniture runs, particularly slimline units where a full inset basin might not fit. They’re a popular choice for cloakrooms and en-suites.
