Cabinet Basin Timber 80 Matt Black

A vanity-top washbasin is a basin designed to be set on a cabinet of matching width – its edges rest on the furniture body and form a single plane with it, with no visible intermediate countertop. Timber Matt Black 800 is 800 mm wide, has a matt black finish and is made of resin.

Resin (mineral composite) is a material cast in a mould, so the bowl, the shelf area and the rim are created as one seamless piece. In practice this means no crevices where deposits can build up, and a wall just over a centimetre thick – hence the slim, almost flat silhouette that ceramic cannot achieve.

The basin has an overflow and a factory-drilled tap hole, so it fits a standard deck-mounted mixer. The overflow is an opening below the upper edge of the bowl that channels excess water into the drain – it protects the bathroom from flooding if the tap is left running and forgotten.

Matt black calls for gentle care: simply wipe it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. Acidic products, vinegar and abrasive creams dull and lighten the surface over time, so they should not be used.

Frequently asked questions

Which cabinet does this basin fit?

A cabinet 800 mm wide – in this series that is the Timber Wood 800 wall-hung unit. The basin is set on the open furniture body.

How does resin differ from ceramic?

Resin is cast, so it allows thinner walls and shapes that are impossible in ceramic, as well as matt colours. Ceramic is harder and more scratch-resistant, but thicker and available mainly in white.

Are a tap and a trap included?

No. The basin comes with a hole prepared for a deck-mounted mixer, but the tap and the trap are chosen separately. With a cabinet that has a drawer, a space-saving trap is worth considering.

Does matt black get dirty easily?

What shows on matt black is mainly dried water droplets – especially with hard water. Wiping the bowl dry after use solves the problem; the surface itself is no more absorbent than a light one.
