Fonte Washbasins for Different Installation Styles

A washbasin should fit the bathroom layout while providing sufficient space for comfortable everyday use. Fonte offers tabletop, under-counter and wall-hung basin configurations, each with different installation considerations.

Tabletop Basin

A tabletop basin sits above a suitable counter or vanity surface. This arrangement makes the basin a visible element of the wash area and allows the countertop to be coordinated with the surrounding bathroom design.

Before selecting a tabletop basin, check the counter dimensions, basin height, waste outlet position and faucet mounting arrangement. The faucet should provide appropriate reach and clearance, while the countertop must be suitable for the specified fixing and sealing method.

Under-Counter Basin

An under-counter basin is installed beneath a compatible countertop, creating a continuous surface around the wash area. This configuration can be useful where a streamlined vanity and accessible counter space are priorities.

Confirm the cut-out dimensions, fixing method and sealing requirements before installation. Check that the plumbing and trap fit within the available cabinet space and do not interfere with drawers or storage. The countertop material must also be suitable for the installation.

Wall-Hung Basin with Full Pedestal

A wall-hung basin with a full pedestal combines a wall-mounted basin with a pedestal that extends towards the floor. It creates a coordinated appearance beneath the washbasin and can help conceal some plumbing connections.

Before installation, verify the wall support, fixing requirements, mounting height and plumbing positions. Check that the selected basin and pedestal are compatible and that the arrangement allows convenient cleaning and maintenance.

Wall-Hung Basin with Half Pedestal

A half pedestal creates a shorter profile beneath the basin, leaving more of the floor area visible. This can be useful where an open appearance is preferred.

As with other wall-hung arrangements, suitable wall support and compatible fixings are essential. Confirm the selected components, water supply position and waste connection before installation.

Fonte WC Configurations

The Fonte collection includes a rimless wall-hung WC and a bowl designed for a coupled WC installation. These configurations serve different installation needs.

Rimless wall-hung WC: This design is suspended above the finished floor and requires a suitable support system and compatible flushing components. It can create a visually open appearance while making the floor beneath the bowl easier to clean.

Bowl for coupled WC: This configuration is intended to be used with compatible cistern components. Confirm the required cistern, outlet arrangement, flushing components and installation accessories before ordering.

The choice between these options depends on the bathroom layout and plumbing provision. Before selecting a WC, check its dimensions, outlet position, water supply, mounting requirements and maintenance access. Do not assume that the components of different WC configurations can be interchanged.

Planning Fonte Sanitaryware Around Your Space

The basin and WC should be positioned to support comfortable use and practical cleaning. Check the available clearance around the fixtures, the bathroom door swing, vanity depth and the location of other fittings.

If renovating an existing bathroom, inspect the current plumbing connections before choosing the final products. The waste outlet and water supply positions can influence which configuration is suitable and whether modifications will be needed.

A tabletop basin may require a different vanity arrangement from an under-counter basin, while a wall-hung WC requires a compatible support and flushing system. Planning these details early can help avoid changes during installation.

Coordinating Fonte with Faucets and Other Fittings

The faucet should match the selected basin's mounting style and tap-hole arrangement. Its height and reach should be suitable for the basin's depth, while the waste fitting and trap must match the plumbing arrangement.

Before ordering, confirm the dimensions, fixing requirements, included accessories and compatibility of all related components. A coordinated appearance is important, but installation compatibility must come first.

Cleaning and Maintenance of Fonte Sanitaryware

Regular cleaning helps maintain sanitaryware and keeps the bathroom easier to care for. Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge with a suitable bathroom cleaner, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals that may damage the product surface or associated fittings. Clean around the basin waste, faucet base and WC seat hinges, and inspect visible plumbing connections for leaks. For concealed installations, keep the designated service access clear.
