Half Pedestal Wash Basins – Modern, Durable, and Space-Saving Bathroom Solutions

A half pedestal wash basin, also known as a semi-pedestal wash basin, features a basin mounted on a partial pedestal attached securely to the wall. This design supports the basin while providing easy access to plumbing fixtures underneath. Unlike full pedestal basins that rest entirely on the floor, half pedestals create a floating appearance, saving valuable bathroom floor space and contributing to a clean, modern aesthetic. This makes them a favored choice for compact spaces and contemporary interiors. Simpolo’s half pedestal range includes multiple shapes and styles to suit various bathroom sizes, with popular models like Sooty, Refin, Slaty, and Elisa, and matching pedestals such as Sleet, Scooty, and Sift available.

Types of Half Pedestal Wash Basins

There are various types of half-pedestal wash basins based on the materials used and their properties- 

• Ceramic half-leg wash basin: All of Simpolo’s semi pedestal wash basins are made of ceramic. These are fired at higher temperatures, keeping them versatile even for use in hot water with a non-porous surface that resists stains and bacteria. A wide range of shapes, colours and finishes are available in different pedestal designs that you can select according to your space and requirements. But the wash basins made of ceramic are heavy. 
• Stone wash basin: The half wash basin made of stone, such as quartz, comes in unique patterns and colours but costs more than ceramic wash basins. But these basins provide excellent stain-resistant properties with a non-porous surface. This basin feels luxurious in the space.
• Glass wash basin: The semi pedestal wash basins are made from tempered glass that reflects light, leading to enhancing the space, but shows water spots immediately and has less durability. Requires tempered glass for safety and has limited colour and design options. 
• Metal-based wash basin: Basins made from stainless steel or bronze have higher durability and great hygienic properties. But consider that these basins have fewer colour options and show water spots. Metal-based basins are lightweight compared to stone basins.
