The example in this configurator is a round vessel basin with a thin rim, made to sit on top of a counter. Choose a glaze and a tap-hole option to see the build.
With a vessel basin, height is the hidden decision. The bowl adds its own depth above the counter, so the rim ends up higher than people expect. A standard-height vanity can become uncomfortable, especially for children or shorter adults. Buyers who love the look of a round bowl also need to think about the counter below it and the tap above it.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
Glaze options in the demo are gloss white, matte black, sand and terracotta, four of six. With one tap hole, a mixer sits on the basin itself. With none, the tap becomes a tall deck mixer or a wall spout reaching over the rim. That choice is logged in the summary, while the image stays the same.

Why a configurator suits basins
Vessel basins are unforgiving about taps. A standard basin mixer will not reach over the rim. A wall spout must be set high enough to clear the bowl without splashing. Buyers often order the basin first, then discover that the tap they had in mind does not suit it.
A configurator can encode those rules. Choose this basin with no tap hole, and only tall deck mixers and wall spouts appear, each with a note on mounting height. Choose one hole, and only mixers that suit the bowl remain. The basin and tap arrive as a working pair, and the plumber gets the heights in writing.
Rim height can be handled the same way. If the customer enters a counter height, the configurator can show the finished rim height and suggest a lower vanity where it helps. Six glazes and two hole options make twelve basins, but the useful output is not the image: it is a specification that works once installed.
How a production version would be built
Each glaze would be rendered from eye level and from above, since a round vessel looks very different from each. A side elevation showing bowl height above the counter, with the paired tap, carries the practical message. For data, the retailer supplies SKUs, bowl height and diameter, tap compatibility, and recommended mounting heights for wall spouts. Orders go to the basket as a basin-and-tap pair, with heights printed on the summary. Rules like these are what separate a product configurator from a colour picker.

Questions about basin configurators
Is the finished rim height calculated for the buyer?
Yes. It takes the bowl height from your product data and the counter height from the customer or your vanity range. It adds the two and shows the result. If the rim lands above a comfortable height, it can suggest a lower unit. Simple arithmetic, but most product pages leave buyers to do it themselves.
Which taps work with a vessel basin that has no tap hole?
A tall deck-mounted mixer on the counter beside the bowl, or a wall-mounted spout above it. Both need enough height and reach to clear the rim and land the water near the centre of the bowl. The configurator can filter your tap range by those figures, so only suitable taps appear.
Does a thin rim need special photography?
It benefits from a low angle and a top-down shot. A thin rim is one of the reasons people choose a round bowl, and a straight-on photograph hides it. A close detail of the rim edge, plus a view from above showing the full circle, sells the refinement better than a single packshot.
Can we show the basin on different counter materials?
We can. A rendered room scene can swap the counter between timber, stone and concrete while the basin and tap stay in place. Terracotta on teak reads very differently from terracotta on white quartz, so a counter option helps buyers commit. It also works as a gentle cross-sell if you supply worktops.
