Recessed Basins

Recessed Basins are partially or fully set into a countertop or vanity unit, offering a clean, integrated appearance while providing practical functionality for modern bathrooms.

About Recessed Basins

Recessed basins, also known as inset or semi-recessed basins, are designed to sit within a vanity surface. They provide a streamlined look and maximise counter space while concealing plumbing. Fully recessed models sit flush with the counter, while semi-recessed versions extend slightly forward—ideal for compact bathrooms or installations where depth is limited.
