A made-to-measure double washbasin

A double wall-hung washbasin 120 to 220 cm wide, to the centimetre. When to choose two basins and when one with two taps, side ledges, the cabinet and fixing.

In a family bathroom two people are often at the washbasin at the same time in the morning. A double washbasin gives each of them a basin and a tap of their own. Because we make it to measure, it can fill the wall or the recess from edge to edge.

The sizes of a double washbasin

  • Width from 120 to 220 cm, to the centimetre.
  • Depth from 35 to 55 cm.
  • Height from 10 to 25 cm.

Each basin has its own tap, on the wall or on the washbasin. Between the basins is a divider in the same ceramic, and the edges are bonded at 45°, so the joint lies on the corner and the edge looks like solid ceramic.

Two basins, or one with two taps?

If two people share a wall that is not too narrow, a double washbasin is the most practical: each has a basin and a drain of their own.

When you want one long basin, choose a single washbasin with two taps. It is possible from 90 cm wide, with each tap at its own quarter of the basin.

Ledges at the sides

The left and right rims can be widened into a ledge, from 8 to 45 cm, and the back rim from 7 to 25 cm. A ledge holds the soap, a glass or a towel. With a wall tap the back rim stops at 14 cm, because wall spouts reach no further; for a wider ledge at the back, choose a tap on the washbasin.

Each basin stays at least 35 cm wide and 20 cm deep, so the ledges, the width and the depth limit one another. The configurator works this out for you.

A cabinet under a double washbasin

The cabinet is optional. We make it the same width as the washbasin, with one or two drawers, and each basin has its own separate drawers. The fronts are in wood veneer or lacquered in a colour you choose.

Fixing

The washbasin stands on steel wall brackets: one under each side rim and one under the divider between the basins. For larger and heavier designs, especially with a cabinet, we recommend reinforcement with a support rail along the wall. On a solid wall (concrete, brick) we fix it directly; a stud wall needs a support frame. We match the fixing to your wall and confirm it when we measure.

In the configurator, choose a double washbasin, enter the width of your wall and see it in 3D, with ledges and a cabinet.
