space saving basin

Space-saving basins are commonly made from ceramic (including fine china), stainless steel, and durable plastics such as polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber (TPR).

Designs that save space include pedestal bases that conceal plumbing, undermount installations that free up counter area, wall-mounted sinks that clear floor space, and collapsible basins that fold flat for storage.

Options include built-in overflow protection, an integrated drain plug on some collapsible basins, and standard drain openings (commonly 3-1/2 inches) compatible with most disposals.

Stainless-steel undermount basins often include bottom soundproofing pads and an exterior anti-condensation coating to reduce running-water noise and prevent moisture buildup on cabinets.

Some listings include mounting brackets, basket strainers, assembly guides or kits, S-hooks and other installation hardware; a few may also include faucets or pull-down taps.
