Overflow and Tap Holes

Choose an above counter basin with overflow if the tap may be left running, and add a slotted pop-up waste. Pick an above counter basin with tap hole to mount a deck mixer. Without a tap hole, mount a basin mixer in the benchtop or use a wall tap.

Vessel Basins and Above Counter Sinks

A vessel basin sits with the full bowl above the surface and needs a tall mixer or wall tap. Any above counter sink or vessel sink bathroom style can be installed as a bench top basin or benchtop basin. For a lower profile, a semi recessed basin or insert basin needs a benchtop cutout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are countertop basins a good idea?

Yes, for most bathrooms. Countertop basins show off the bowl design and are simple to swap later. They sit higher than inset basins, so check tap height.

How do above counter basins differ from undermount basins?

An above counter basin sits on the benchtop with the whole bowl visible. An undermount basin sits below it for a flush edge and needs a stone or solid surface top.

How high should an above counter basin be?

A typical vanity is 850 to 900mm high. An above counter basin adds its own height, so choose a lower vanity to keep the rim comfortable.

Can I fit an above counter basin on any vanity?

Usually yes. The benchtop needs a waste hole, plus a tap position if the basin has no tap hole. Check vanity width, depth and height first.
