{"title":"Caroma Contura II Basins","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Caroma Contura II basin range brings a refined, second-generation take on Contura's signature curved geometry, offering inset, undercounter, and wall-hung basins designed to work as a cohesive suite across bathroom and ensuite projects. This page covers the full Contura II basin lineup available at The Blue Space, including sizes, installation types, and finish compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Caroma Contura II range?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContura II is Caroma's updated version of the original Contura collection, retaining the soft curved forms but refining the proportions and expanding the product set. It is designed as a complete bathroom suite, with basins, toilets, and brassware from the same design language so specifiers can match across an entire fitout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range is manufactured in vitreous china to Caroma's Australian standards, with an emphasis on clean radii and consistent wall thickness across the basin forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat basin types are available in the Contura II range?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContura II covers three installation types: inset (drop-in), undercounter, and hand\/wall basins. The inset models sit into a vanity cutout with the rim resting on the benchtop surface. Undercounter versions are mounted below the benchtop for a seamless bench-to-basin transition. Wall basins are supported directly from the wall without a vanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelecting the right type depends on your vanity configuration and whether you want a visible rim line or a clean flush bench. Undercounter installation requires a benchtop material that can be cut and finished cleanly, such as stone, solid surface, or engineered stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat sizes does the Caroma Contura II basin come in?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 530mm width is the most widely specified Contura II inset basin size, suited to single-bowl vanities from 600mm to 900mm. The undercounter variant also centres around the 530mm footprint. Wall basins in the range run narrower, designed for powder rooms and secondary bathrooms where bench space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways confirm the rough-in and cutout dimensions against your vanity's available internal width before ordering. Caroma's product documentation includes detailed template dimensions for each model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat finishes does Contura II work with?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContura II basins are glazed white vitreous china, consistent across the range. The finish is a bright white glaze that is resistant to staining and easy to clean. For the brassware side of the suite, the Caroma Contura II tapware collection is available in chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black, allowing the tapware finish to be matched to other fittings in the space without altering the basin itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are pairing with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thebluespace.com.au\/collections\/bathroom-vanities-furniture\"\u003ebathroom vanity\u003c\/a\u003e, white vitreous china basins read neutrally against both timber and painted cabinetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does Contura II compare to other Caroma ranges?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thebluespace.com.au\/collections\/caroma\"\u003eCaroma\u003c\/a\u003e lineup, Contura II sits alongside Liano II and Urbane II as a full-suite range. Liano II tends toward sharper, more rectangular forms while Contura II uses softer curves throughout. Urbane II occupies a similar space to Contura II but with different proportions and a more pronounced horizontal emphasis. Contura II is the right choice when you want a basin with visible curvature rather than a hard geometric profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three ranges share Caroma's vitreous china construction and Australian standards compliance, so the quality tier is consistent across them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat tapware pairs with the Caroma Contura II basin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaroma produces a dedicated Contura II basin mixer that mirrors the curved geometry of the basin, giving the most cohesive result. The mixer is available in chrome and brushed finishes. If you prefer to mix brands, the basin's tap hole is a standard 35mm centred single-hole configuration, accepting most wall or bench-mount basin mixers from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thebluespace.com.au\/collections\/taps\"\u003etaps\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasin mixer spout height matters when pairing with undercounter installations, where the spout needs enough clearance to reach into the bowl given the recessed position of the basin rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the Caroma Contura II basin suitable for a powder room?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wall basin variant is well-suited to powder rooms, providing a compact footprint without requiring a full vanity cabinet. It supports a single tap hole and includes pre-drilled overflow, making it a straightforward powder room specification.
