Frequently Asked Questions
What is a basin module actually for?
Hiding what is under the basin.
A trap, two tap tails and isolation valves.
There is no cistern to conceal.
The reason is entirely visual.
Which is worth saying plainly.
Is that a real problem to solve?
Yes - it undermines the wall-hung look.
The floor is clear, and then there is pipework.
At eye level for anyone seated.
It is the first thing people notice.
And the reason pedestals persist.
How does it compare with a pedestal?
A pedestal hides the same pipework.
By putting a column back on the floor.
Which gives up the clear floor.
A module hides it and keeps the floor.
Neither alternative does both.
What sets the depth?
The trap it has to contain.
Against how far it may project.
Here the depth is a visible object.
Not just a wall thickness.
So choose trap and module together.
Is there any structural demand?
Mild, but not absent.
Nobody sits on a basin.
But everybody leans on the front edge.
At the end of a lever.
So it anchors to wall and floor.
Is servicing easier than a prewall?
Considerably, and it is rarely mentioned.
The front panel is removable.
So trap and valves are simply reachable.
A tiled prewall hides them behind tiling.
Which is awkward to get at.
Does it suit a small cloakroom?
Often better than the alternatives.
It keeps the floor clear underneath.
While concealing everything.
And needs no wall built.
Check the projection against the room.
