Double basins have become a popular choice in modern bathrooms, offering both practicality and aesthetics. Whether you want to optimize your morning routine or add a touch of luxury to your bathroom, thoughtful installation is essential. Here’s everything you need to know about double basins, their benefits and the steps involved in installing them.
The advantages of double basins
Space and time optimization
Double basins allow two people to prepare simultaneously, reducing bottlenecks for families or couples.
Modern aesthetics
With their clean lines and symmetry, they add a sophisticated, contemporary touch to your bathroom.
Versatility
They can be adapted to both large bathrooms and smaller spaces, thanks to the variety of sizes and configurations available.
Double basins
Freestanding basins: Placed on a worktop, they offer a modern style and allow customization of materials and colors.
Recessed basins: Integrated directly into the cabinet or worktop, they offer a discreet, easy-to-clean appearance.
Wall-mounted basins: Fixed directly to the wall, they free up floor space and give an impression of lightness.
Steps for installing double basins
1. Preparing the installation
- Choose the right location: Make sure there’s enough space to accommodate two basins, with a distance of around 60 cm between them for comfortable use.
- Check water supplies: Confirm that your plumbing can supply two taps and drain water efficiently. Fittings may need to be adapted.
2. Install cabinet or stand
- Fix the cabinet or worktop at the ideal height (approx. 85-90 cm from the floor) for optimum comfort.
- Make sure it’s firmly anchored to the wall to support the weight of the basins and accessories.
3. Installing basins
- Place the basins on the support or embed them if the chosen model requires it.
- Apply a silicone seal between the basin and the cabinet to ensure a watertight seal.
4. Install fittings
- Connect the taps to the water supply using suitable hoses.
- Install the bungs and connect them to the drains. Make sure the siphons are secure and watertight.
5. Test operation
- Turn the water back on and test the taps for leaks. Also check that the water is flowing properly down the drains.
Tips for successful installation
- Choose resistant materials: Choose materials that are easy to maintain, such as ceramic, stainless steel or resin.
- Personalize your space: Choose a piece of furniture or a worktop in harmony with the rest of the bathroom.
- Good lighting: Lighting around basins is essential for both practical and aesthetic use.
