Glass Basins

Italian Designer Glass Basins

Glass offers bathroom designers a very different appearance from conventional ceramic. Its transparency, colour and reflective qualities can give a washbasin a lighter visual presence or, with stronger colours and finishes, turn it into a distinctive focal point within the bathroom.

Countertop Glass Basins

Countertop installation is particularly well suited to glass washbasins because it allows the shape, colour and character of the basin to remain visible. Choose from round, oval, rectangular and sculptural designs suitable for installation on bathroom furniture, consoles and appropriate worktops.

Wall-Hung and Specialist Glass Basins

Selected Italian collections include wall-mounted and integrated glass washbasins as well as more unusual architectural designs. These can provide an alternative to traditional ceramic sanitaryware in contemporary bathrooms and individual interior projects.

Clear, Coloured and Decorative Glass

Glass basins are available in a wide variety of appearances depending on the manufacturer and collection. Options can include transparent and translucent glass, coloured designs, textured surfaces and specialist decorative finishes.

Choosing Taps for a Glass Basin

Depending on the design, a glass basin may be combined with a tall deck-mounted mixer, a tap mounted separately on the worktop or wall-mounted brassware. Basin dimensions, tap height and spout projection should be considered together when planning the installation.

Care and Installation

Glass washbasins should be installed and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions. Suitable fixings, supports and cleaning products will depend on the particular basin and type of glass, so the individual product specifications should always be checked.
