Concealed basin mixers

Concealed basin mixers – modernity hidden within the wall

A concealed basin mixer is a solution that redefines the concept of a modern bathroom. By moving the entire mixing mechanism beneath the surface of the tiles, only the most beautiful elements are left on display: a slender spout and an elegant control handle. Besco models are designed with maximum space-saving and clean lines in mind, making them the ideal choice for loft-style, minimalist and modern apartment spa interiors.

Why choose a concealed system?

Choosing concealed fittings is not just a matter of fashion, but above all a well-considered design decision that brings real practical benefits:

• Space-saving: The entire body of the mixer is concealed within the wall, leaving the countertop around the washbasin free. This makes it easier to organise the space and allows for the installation of a larger basin.
• Ease of cleaning: The absence of a protruding body means there are no nooks and crannies where limescale and soap scum usually accumulate. Maintenance is limited to simply wiping down the spout and the rosette.
• Customisation: Concealed fittings offer greater flexibility – you can install the spout at any height, perfectly matching it to the depth of your basin.

Exclusive finishes and reliable technology

Besco concealed mixers combine luxurious aesthetics with time-tested engineering. Every detail has been refined to ensure safe installation and comfortable use:

• Ceramic cartridge: Guarantees smooth and precise water temperature control. The high quality of the ceramic ensures the watertightness of the system concealed within the wall.
• Wide range of colours: We offer finishes that set the tone for the entire interior – from classic chrome, through luxurious gold (bright, brushed), to modern matt black and raw gunmetal.
• Brass components: The concealed bodies are made of solid brass, ensuring complete resistance to corrosion behind the plaster.

Ecology meets design

Despite their minimalist form, Besco’s concealed mixers are every bit as functional as their freestanding counterparts. A key feature supporting environmental care is:

• Aerator: Fitted at the end of the spout, it aerates the water flow. This ensures the water flows at the correct pressure, whilst remaining soft and plentiful to the touch, allowing for reduced water consumption whilst maintaining full washing comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the installation of a concealed mixer require any special preparation?

Yes. It is best to decide on a concealed mixer during the bathroom design stage or before tiling work begins. This requires cutting grooves in the wall for the mounting components (concealed box) and ensuring the water supply is properly routed. Once the tiles are laid, only the external decorative elements will remain visible.

How does an aerator help save water in a concealed mixer ?

The aerator works by mixing water with air. The flowing stream is ‘enriched’ with air bubbles, which makes the water appear and feel much more abundant. In reality, however, the water flow per minute is significantly lower than in mixers without aeration, which directly reduces actual water consumption in the household.
