This illustrative console basin is made to sit on an open frame rather than a cabinet. You can choose its glaze and whether it has a tap hole, and the summary builds the specification as you go, ready for a quote.
A console basin leaves everything below it on view. The frame, the waste and the trap become part of the design. A buyer is really specifying a small piece of furniture with plumbing attached. Most choose it for hotels, boutique washrooms or a statement cloakroom, where the open frame makes a small room feel larger.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
There are four glazes to compare: gloss white, matte black, stone grey and sand, from six. The basin comes with no tap hole or one. With no hole, the tap goes on the wall above, which suits the clean rectangular rim. The hole option is noted for the quote rather than drawn. A production build would also let buyers choose the frame finish.

- Tap Hole: None, 1 hole
Why a configurator suits basins
Because the plumbing is exposed, the details have to match. A brushed brass frame with a chrome bottle trap underneath looks like a mistake. A configurator can treat basin, frame, waste and trap as one set, matched by finish. The specifier then sees and orders the complete washstand rather than four separate lines.
Hotel projects are where this pays off. A boutique hotel may specify the same washstand across every room, with a different glaze for suites. Six glazes and two hole options already give twelve basins before frame finishes are added. A configurator that ends in a quote, with quantities per room type, keeps the specification precise from tender to delivery.
Fit-out companies and interior designers also need documents. Each configured washstand can produce a specification sheet with dimensions, finishes, waste type and fixing details. That sheet travels with the quote and saves rework when the contractor prices the job. Both sides keep a record of exactly what was agreed at tender.
How a production version would be built
The basin would be layered over the frame, both shot or rendered from the same angle. Glazes and frame finishes then combine without photographing every pairing. The waste and trap form a third layer in a matching finish. The supplier provides SKUs for basin, frame and trap, dimensions, waste details and lead times. Hotel orders go to a quote linked to the supplier's CRM. I built Praxis Digital 3D, a browser-based configuration platform used by more than 20 UK businesses.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Tap Hole choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if tap holes can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about basin configurators
Do the trap and waste follow the frame finish?
By default, yes. The frame finish sets the starting point for the waste and bottle trap, and the basin glaze is chosen separately. The configurator then shows the complete washstand with every visible part matched. If a trap is not made in a particular finish, the rule can offer the nearest match or flag the gap.
Can we add towel rails or shelves to the frame?
If the frame range includes them, yes. Each accessory is a layer on the frame image, so adding a towel rail or lower shelf updates both the picture and the parts list. Accessories can be restricted to the frames they fit, which avoids an order that cannot be assembled on site.
How do hotel buyers order different glazes for different room types?
Through a quote step that accepts a schedule rather than a single quantity. The buyer configures a washstand per room type, enters a quantity for each, and submits them together. The schedule goes into your CRM with every specification attached, ready for pricing and production planning.
Do we need a specification sheet for every configuration?
For contract work it is worth generating one automatically. The sheet pulls dimensions, finishes, waste type and fixing details from the product data for the exact washstand configured. Specifiers attach it to their schedules, and it removes the risk of an outdated PDF being sent by mistake.
