Traditional Pedestal

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is a traditional basin and pedestal?

A traditional basin and pedestal set features a classic ceramic sink paired with a full pedestal in a period-inspired design. The pedestal supports the basin, hides pipework, and adds timeless elegance to a bathroom.

2. What is a basin and washstand?

A washstand combines a traditional-style basin with a metal or wooden frame instead of a pedestal. Often seen in Victorian and Edwardian homes, washstands add a decorative and heritage-inspired touch while leaving more of the floor visible.

3. What styles are available?

Traditional basins and pedestals often have ornate detailing, bevelled edges, and heritage-inspired shapes. Washstands can feature chrome, brass, or painted wooden frames with options for integrated towel rails or shelves.

4. Are traditional basins and washstands practical for modern bathrooms?

Yes. While they look classic, they’re built to modern plumbing standards with options for 1, 2, or 3 tap holes, making them compatible with both modern mixer taps and period-style pillar taps.

5. What size options are available?

Traditional basins with pedestals typically range from 500mm cloakroom sizes to 650mm or larger statement pieces. Washstands also vary, with compact versions for en-suites and double washstands available for spacious bathrooms.
