Tall basin mixers

Tall basin mixers – elegant and functional for countertop basins

Tall basin mixers, also known as countertop basin mixers, are the answer to the growing popularity of basins mounted directly on the countertop. Thanks to their elongated body, Besco models allow for easy installation of the tap next to the basin, creating a modern and exclusive visual effect. This solution combines bold design with ergonomics, providing ample space for your hands and comfort during your morning routine.

Why choose a tall basin mixer?

The decision to choose a tall countertop basin mixer usually stems from a desire for a bowl-shaped basin without a tap hole. By choosing Besco models, you gain a range of design and practical benefits:

• Design flexibility: You can install the mixer behind the basin or to the side of the bowl, allowing for optimal use of space on the bathroom countertop.
• Ease of use: The appropriate spout height ensures ample clearance, making it easier not only to wash your hands but also to fill tall vessels or carry out daily grooming routines.
• Modern design: The slender, tall bodies make a striking statement in the bathroom, catching the eye and emphasising the character of loft, modern or glamour-style interiors.

Reliability and technology in every detail

Besco tall basin mixers are not just about aesthetics, but above all about engineering of the highest standard. We focus on materials that will withstand years of intensive use:

• Ceramic cartridge: The heart of the mixer, responsible for the perfectly smooth movement of the lever. Ceramic cartridges are resistant to limescale build-up, which eliminates the problem of leaks.
• Brass body: Ensures the stability of the tall design and complete resistance to corrosion, which is crucial in the humid bathroom environment.
• Aerators: The built-in aerator helps protect the environment. It aerates the water flow, making it soft and abundant, which directly translates to lower water consumption without compromising on comfort.

Besco colour range – to suit your style

We offer a wide range of finishes that allow you to create a cohesive look with other fittings and ceramics:

• Matt Black and Gun Metal: Ideal for industrial and minimalist interiors, where the fittings are intended to provide a strong, graphic accent.
• Gold (including brushed gold): Adds a touch of luxury to the bathroom, blending perfectly with marble and dark worktops.
• Classic Chrome: A timeless choice that reflects light and suits any type of countertop basin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I match the height of the mixer to a countertop basin?

The key rule is to measure the height of the basin. The spout of a tall tap must be at least a few centimetres above the edge of the basin so that the water flows freely into it. You should also pay attention to the spout’s reach to ensure the water hits close to the centre of the basin, which will prevent water from splashing onto the worktop.

Is the installation of a tall mixer on the worktop stable?

Yes. Besco tall basin mixers are fitted with robust mounting systems that ensure the long body is securely fixed to the worktop. However, it is important that the worktop itself is made of a water-resistant material and is sufficiently rigid to support the weight of the mixer and not deform under the pressure of the lever.

How does the aerator in a tall mixer help save water?

The aerator in Besco’s tall mixers works by mixing water with air. This makes the stream emerging from the spout appear wide and fluffy, whilst the perceived pressure remains high. As a result, you use less water with every wash, as the aerated stream is more efficient at a lower actual flow rate.
