Fluted Basins
Sort by:
Fluted basins have vertical grooves running down the outside of the bowl, so the basin catches the light and casts soft shadows instead of sitting flat and plain.
Perfect for bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms. They sit on top of a vanity unit or worktop rather than dropping into it, which puts the whole basin on show and makes it the thing people notice first. The grooves also pick up the light from your mirror or ceiling light, so the basin looks different through the day.
Bathroom Mountain offers fluted basins in white ceramic, in round and oval counter top shapes. Fluted basin ceramic is hard-wearing and won't stain or discolour, so it keeps its finish for years. A plumber fits yours and connects the tap and waste, and cleaning is a wipe with a soft cloth, running down the grooves rather than across them so nothing collects in the channels.
As a leading UK bathroom retailer, Bathroom Mountain offers affordable and quality fluted basins backed by our Price Match Promise, fast next-day UK delivery options and an Excellent Trustpilot rating, so you can buy with confidence.
What Are Fluted Basins?
Fluted basins are ceramic basins with vertical grooves cut into the outside of the bowl. The grooves add texture and shadow, which gives the basin a sculpted look rather than a plain, smooth finish.
Are Fluted Basins Harder To Clean?
Not really. The grooves are on the outside of the bowl, not inside where you wash, so they don't collect soap or toothpaste. Run a cloth down the grooves rather than across them and they wipe clean in seconds.
Do Fluted Basins Sit On Top Of The Vanity?
Yes, these are counter top basins, so they sit on the surface of your vanity unit or worktop rather than being set into it. That's what puts the fluted detail on show from every angle.
What Tap Do I Need For A Fluted Basin?
Counter top basins usually need a tall basin tap or a wall-mounted one, since the bowl sits higher than a standard basin. Check the basin has a tap hole before ordering, as many counter top designs don't.
Will A Fluted Basin Suit A Small Bathroom?
A round fluted basin works well in a cloakroom or small en-suite, as the compact bowl leaves worktop space either side. Just make sure your vanity is deep enough to take the basin without it overhanging the front edge.
Do Fluted Basins Need A Special Waste?
Counter top basins often use a slotted or unslotted waste depending on whether the bowl has an overflow. Check which yours has before buying, and a bottle trap in a matching finish looks better if the pipework will be visible.
How to Choose Fluted Basins for Your Bathroom?
To choose fluted basins for your bathroom, measure your vanity top and check it's deep enough for the bowl you want. Pick round for a compact space or oval for a wider unit, choose a tall tap to suit the counter top height, and match your waste and bottle trap to your tap finish.
