Structure

The internal structure of these fabricated items depends on the weight and product type. All items use the highest quality Italian porcelain stoneware and structured edges are formed with accurate mitred joints.

Wall-mounted basins

Wall-mounted basins are manufactured with a water-resistant and durable aluminium honeycomb core supported by aluminium angles. This structure is then cladded with the selected surface and bonded with durable adhesives and Epoxy resins. The wall-hung unit is attached to the supporting wall with the supplied fixings brackets and the waste system can be accessed from below the item. We do not supply fixing screws, bolts, waste traps, tap connectors or any plumbing components.

Free-standing basins

Free-standing basins are constructed with a marine-grade plywood core and feature a removable panel for accessing the waste system. Depending on the installation location this access panel can be specified on the rear or on the side of the basin. The access panel is secured with magnetic fastenings. Finally the base incorporates a concealed ‘shadow gap‘ for manoeuvring the item once plumbed in.

Some of the basins are offered with a configurable sink base. This base can be fixed, sloping or removable. With the fixed base sink the waste is visible. The sloping base option is fixed and water flows into a thin channel opening at the bottom edge, and then into a hidden waste. On some models the direction of this slope is configurable. The removable base can be removed for cleaning and water flows through channels around the parameter of the base, into a fixed base sink and visible waste system.

Wall-hung vanity tops & shelving

Wall-hung vanity tops and shelving are constructed with a wood core. In the case of bathroom vanity tops this will be water-resistant marine-grade plywood. Fixing plugs are provided for secure wall-hanging. This structure is then clad with the selected surface and bonded with durable adhesives and Epoxy resins. Edges are formed with accurate mitred joints. Two options are available for the angle of the front face of the shelf or vanity top:

Vanity tops with cut-outs

Vanity tops with cut-outs are constructed with a water-resistant and durable aluminium honeycomb core. This structure is then clad with the selected surface and bonded with durable adhesives and Epoxy resins. The structured edges are formed with accurate mitred joints.

Kitchen countertops

Kitchen countertops are fabricated with porcelain stoneware from our TM⁶, TM¹² and TM²⁰ Collections. These innovative materials has been engineered particularly for the rigours of the kitchen environment. Cut-outs for basins, taps or hobs can be cut and draining grooves can be machined with our Breton Contourbreton NC300 Evo 4-axis high-precision CNC machine.

Solid worktops with a thickness of 12 or 20 mm are available and can be specified with a choice of edge profiles. Standard countertops, islands and island waterfalls are constructed with an apron edge. All countertops require level and secure support every 600 mm, around the perimeter frame, under any joints and around cut-outs.

Wall-hung breakfast bars & kitchen shelving

Wall-hung breakfast bars & kitchen shelving are constructed with a wood structural core. Fixing plugs are provided for secure wall-hanging. This structure is then clad with the selected surface and bonded with durable adhesives and Epoxy resins. Edges are formed with accurate mitred joints. Two options are available for the angle of the front face of the breakfast bar or shelving.

Seating and plinths

Seating and plinths incorporate a wooden frame which is clad with Italian porcelain and edges are formed with accurate mitred joints.
