Half Pedestal Wash Basins – Elegant & Space-Saving Bathroom Solutions

The basin is mounted on a partial pedestal that provides support to the basin while allowing access to plumbing fixtures. The semi-pedestal wash basin creates the illusion of the basin floating, which provides space under the basin. Our wash basins come in a variety of shapes and designs in different sizes to choose from, for use in areas with limited space or in modern bathrooms. Half-pedestal wash basins are space-saving and hence suitable for a bathroom with limited space, which enhances the aesthetic appeal of the place while creating a balanced and harmonious appearance. Some of the popular products are Sooty, Refin, Slaty, and Elisa, with different pedestals such as Sleet, Scooty, and Sift. 

 Types of Half Pedestal Wash Basins

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

1. 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. 
2. 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.
3. 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. 
4. 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.
