Frequently Asked Questions
Why put a fountain against a wall?
Because most rooms suit a wall better.
Long narrow washrooms have no middle.
Or a circulation route through it.
An island needs clear floor all round.
This one does not.
How many users does it lose?
About half, for the same diameter.
Half the circumference, half the rim.
That is the arithmetic of it.
It is not a compromised island.
It is what fits where an island will not.
Why is it common in refurbishment?
Because the services stay in the wall.
Where the old basins were connected.
No coring a slab for a floor connection.
It often replaces a row of basins directly.
Reusing the route already there.
Compared with separate basins, what is saved?
Taps, traps and wastes.
One spray assembly instead of several.
One waste instead of one per basin.
Fewer maintenance points, less wall used.
For a similar number of users.
What has to hold it up?
Depends on the model, so check.
Some are floor-supported with a wall connection.
Others are genuinely wall-hung.
The two ask very different things of the wall.
Establish which before ordering.
Does the wall behind need protecting?
Yes - splash reaches it constantly.
Several people wash at once.
Against a wall rather than into open air.
Tile or panel it well above the rim.
It is part of the specification.
When should the circular version be used instead?
Whenever the room will genuinely take it.
It serves more people for the same fixture.
And the same spray assembly.
The island is the better fixture.
This is the better fit.
