Rectangular Ultra-Slim Wall-Hung Basins (700mm)

A 700mm rectangular basin with an ultra-slim rim gives a bathroom a clean, architectural line without taking up much depth. The fine gloss edge keeps the profile light and modern, making it a popular choice for a single-vanity ensuite or a shared family bathroom where bench space is at a premium.

The appeal of a fine rim

An ultra-slim rim is only a few millimetres thick, so the basin looks like a thin slab rather than a bulky bowl. That delicate edge is what gives these basins their contemporary character, and it pairs neatly with square or blade-style tapware. A gloss finish reflects light and keeps the surface easy to wipe down, which suits a busy bathroom that sees daily use.

Getting the 700mm proportions right

At 700mm wide, a rectangular basin covers a generous portion of a standard vanity top while leaving a little bench to either side for everyday items. Measure the run of your cabinetry and allow clearance for the tap and any splashback. Wall-hung mounting frees the floor beneath, which makes cleaning easier and helps a smaller room feel more open.

Setting out the plumbing

Because the basin hangs on the wall, the bracket fixings and waste outlet need solid backing and accurate setting-out before the tiles go on. Confirm the waste position — bottle-trap or standard — and the tap height so the finished heights work with the basin’s slim body. Getting these details agreed with your plumber early avoids reworking tiled walls later.

Comparing slimline options

Seeing slimline basins in the flesh makes the proportions much easier to judge. Have a look at the range of designer basins at Just Bathrooms, a showroom on the NSW South Coast, to compare rim depths and widths before you commit.
