1. Wall-Hung Basin vs. Countertop Basin: Which One Should You Choose for Your Bathroom? When designing or renovating a bathroom, choosing the right wash basin can greatly impact the overall look, feel, and functionality of the space. Among the most popular options today are wall-hung basins and countertop basins—each offering unique design benefits suited to different bathroom styles and sizes. In this guide, we’ll help you compare these two styles based on Roca’s premium collection, so you can confidently choose the basin that best suits your needs. What Is a Wall-Hung Basin?
