The purpose of a basin waste is to shut off the plug hole to allow the water to fill your basin and then when finished, release the plug, which allows water to drain safely away through the waste pipe. Sounds simple, but with different types of basin wastes available, how do you select the correct one? The slot incorporated into the waste allows the water to be drained from the overflow.

We provide a regular delivery service throughout the West Midlands by our own team and use the service of an independent courier for our customer’s from all other regions to ensure we provide a timely service. Our plumbers merchant sales counter offers a friendly professional service to all visitors both trade and retail. If an un-slotted waste were to be used with a sink with an overflow, as it is watertight, it would prevent water from the overflow from draining away. Therefore, if a tap were to be accidentally left on the basin would then overfill, and the water spill over onto the bathroom floor. Unslotted Basin Waste

To clarify and in simple terms, if your basin has an overflow, you need a slotted basin waste; if it doesn’t, you need an unslotted waste. Here at Bella Bathrooms, we make it easy for you, all of our bathroom sink wastes are labelled either slotted or unslotted. How Does a Slotted Basin Waste Work? Bathroom basins vary greatly, from traditional style detailed sinks to today’s more modern minimalist countertop basins. Equally, there is an abundant choice of taps and wastes to complement.

Slotted or unslotted basin wastes? that is the question! Slotted basin wastes tend to be the commoner of the two in that they are designed for sinks with an overflow, and most do. Unslotted wastes are for use with basins without an overflow. It is imperative that you choose the right slotted or unslotted basin waste, for your sink to prevent flooding. More problematic and confusing for many is whether you need a slotted or unslotted waste, the difference between the individual types of waste, and which are the best basin wastes? Read on…… Unslotted wastes work by draining the water from the basin into the main waste. They are watertight when closed, so allow the basin to fill with water, then when opened they allow the water to drain away. Why Do I Need an Unslotted Basin Waste? Unslotted basin wastes are designed for bathroom sinks and decorative countertop basins that DO NOT have an overflow. As most bathroom basins come with an overflow hole pre-drilled, unslotted wastes are not as prevalent as their counterparts, slotted basin wastes.
