Half Pedestal Wash Basins: Wheelchair-Friendly Bathroom Access
A standard bathroom basin, with its floor-to-ceiling ceramic pedestal or bulky vanity unit, creates an immediate barrier for wheelchair users or those who need to sit while washing. A half pedestal (or wall-hung) wash basin cleverly removes this obstacle, freeing up the floor space beneath the sink to provide unrestricted legroom and comfortable, close access.

Smart Design for Seated and Standing Users
Creating an inclusive bathroom means considering every aspect of your daily routine. By mounting the basin securely to the wall and using a half pedestal to neatly hide the plumbing, we create a sleek, accessible washing station. This adaptation is highly popular in our mobility wet rooms and is ideal for multi-generational homes, as it functions perfectly for both seated and standing family members.

FAQs
What is the difference between a full pedestal and a half pedestal?
A full pedestal rests on the floor and supports the weight of the basin. A half pedestal is much shorter; the basin is bolted directly to the wall, and the half pedestal hangs beneath it simply to hide the pipes, leaving the floor space completely clear.
Are wall-hung basins strong enough to lean on?
Yes. When installed correctly by our expert fitters, the basin is anchored deeply into the wall structure or supported by a hidden frame. However, if you require heavy support for standing, we recommend installing dedicated grab rails alongside the basin.
Can I use this basin if I stand up to wash?
Absolutely. Half pedestal basins are functionally identical to standard basins for standing users. The only difference is the added benefit of clear floor space, which makes the bathroom look larger and easier to mop.
Is this the best option for a wheelchair user?
Yes, a wall-hung or half pedestal basin is highly recommended for wheelchair users. We frequently incorporate them into accessible bathrooms as they allow the user to wheel comfortably underneath without knocking their knees.
