Countertop washbasins

Besco countertop washbasins – elegant design and functionality

The countertop-mounted washbasin is one of the strongest trends in contemporary bathroom design. It allows the beauty of the basin to be showcased, adorning the interior like a sculpture, whilst freeing up space inside the cabinet, making it easier to store toiletries. Besco’s range features a wide selection of countertop washbasins that combine designers’ bold visions with practical solutions, such as resistance to discolouration and ease of care.

Innovative materials: From mineral white to transparent designs

When you choose a Besco countertop washbasin, you gain access to unique technologies that define the product’s appearance and durability. It’s worth choosing a model that suits your style:

• DuraBe mineral cast: The perfect choice for lovers of immaculate white and velvety smoothness. These models are warm to the touch, extremely sturdy and feature a Gelcoat finish that helps water run off easily.
• ResiCast transparent washbasins: A real hit for those seeking uniqueness. Made from a special synthetic resin, they offer depth of colour and visual lightness, whilst being impact-resistant and UV-resistant.
• CeraBe ceramics: Traditional, reinforced ceramics with a high gloss finish and exceptional hardness. Scratch-resistant, they are the perfect match for both classic and modern taps.

Shapes that define the interior

The geometry of a countertop washbasin significantly influences the overall feel of the bathroom. Our range includes models that will suit any interior style:

• Round and oval models: They soften the lines of the interior, bringing calm and harmony. They are a perfect fit for bathrooms in organic and Scandinavian styles.
• Rectangular and square models: Characterised by bold lines that emphasise a modern, loft-style or minimalist interior.
• Models with thin rims: Thanks to Resicast technology, we offer washbasins with exceptionally slim edges, which lend the washbasin area a sense of lightness and elegance.

Practical advantages of countertop washbasins

Beyond their visual appeal, Besco countertop washbasins offer a range of practical benefits. The higher rim of the basin reduces water splashing to the sides, whilst the extra space on the countertop allows for the convenient placement of handy accessories, such as a soap dispenser or a perfume bottle. What’s more, countertop installation offers greater flexibility in choosing the countertop height, allowing the wash area to be perfectly adapted to the height of the household members.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At what height should a countertop washbasin be installed?

As a standard, the top edge of the washbasin should be 85–90 cm above the floor. This means that the cabinet top must be installed lower, taking into account the height of the basin itself.

Which tap is suitable for a countertop washbasin?

Besco countertop washbasins are best suited to tall standing taps mounted directly on the worktop or concealed taps emerging from the wall. It is important that the length of the spout matches the depth of the washbasin so that the water flows centrally into the drain.

Are ResiCast transparent washbasins difficult to maintain?

Quite the opposite. Thanks to their perfectly smooth surface, water stains are less visible, and all you need to clean them is a soft microfibre cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using rough sponges to prevent the surface from becoming dull.

Are mineral cast countertop washbasins durable?

Yes, DuraBe mineral cast is a high-density material, which makes the washbasins heavy, stable and highly resistant to chipping. In the event of accidental damage to the surface, the material can be easily polished and restored.
