The main concerns when adding a second basin will be whether there is enough space to accomplish the task easily and whether it will complement the existing aesthetic in your bathroom. If you’re planning to remodel your whole bathroom, you can pick a shaving cabinet, towel rail and mirror that will work well with a double basin and that will leave plenty of space for installation too. For larger families, a second wash basin can certainly be a very handy addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-accordion\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-accordion-heading\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-accordion-header\"\u003e \u003ch4 class=\"shogun-accordion-title\"\u003e What is the difference between vitreous china and porcelain? \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-accordion-icon shogun-icon-plus\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-accordion-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-3df4e29e-b993-4a23-83bc-a7cb22f1d1a4\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitreous china is actually a glazing technique that is added to porcelain to make it more durable and shinier.

WELS (Water Efficiency Labeling and Standards) Scheme regulations ensure all new basin mixers are labelled with output litres per minute and a star rating.
