Timberline Basins Buying Guide
Timberline basins are designed to pair with Timberline's custom made vanities, in ceramic and mineral composite. Most are above counter, with inset, semi-inset and under counter options, in round, oval, pill, rectangular and square shapes. The range suits anyone building a Timberline vanity or looking for a coloured or textured basin to carry a bathroom's style.
What is the Timberline Allure basin?
The Allure is a round above counter basin with a thin rim, about 360mm across and 120mm high, holding around 8.5 litres with no overflow. It comes in gloss and matte white and a wide set of matte colours, including ivory, grey, anthracite, black, taupe, terracotta, pink, blue and mint. Textured versions add detail to the outer edge: Flute, Dimple and Arrow in white, and Raked with a brushed exterior and a gloss interior. Coloured Allure basins have a matching Allure waste in the same colour.
What other Timberline basins are there?
- Myrtle: a 550 x 360mm pill shape in gloss white, matte white and matte black.
- Oval Flute: a 490 x 310mm pill with a fluted profile, in gloss or matte white.

- Feather, Bloom, Bonnie, Enchant, Diamond and Elite: ovals, rectangles and rounds with thin edges or textured exteriors.
- Arcade and Henry: a 400 x 400mm square inset basin and a 360mm round semi-inset basin with an overflow.
- Bodhi: a 540 x 335mm mineral composite under counter basin, part of Timberline's Australian made range.
Do Timberline basins have tap holes?
Nearly all have no tap hole, so the mixer goes on the bench behind the bowl or on the wall. An above counter basin such as the Allure suits a tall basin mixer or wall-mounted taps. A semi-inset basin such as the Henry suits a standard or mid-height mixer. Plan the tap position before the bench is drilled.
Which waste do I need?
Check the overflow line on each basin. The Allure has no overflow and takes a 32mm non-overflow waste, while the Giana, Hazel, August and Henry include an overflow and need a waste made for one. Plug and wastes are sold separately. For the Bodhi, confirm the waste size before ordering.
How do I install a Timberline basin?
Above counter basins sit on a level, fully supported slab top. Under counter basins such as the Bodhi need a stone, engineered stone or solid timber benchtop, cut to the template. Unpack and inspect the basin before the bench is cut, and have a licensed plumber install it to the supplied instructions.
How do I clean a Timberline basin?
Wipe it with a soft damp cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn marks, rub gently in a circular motion with a non-abrasive pad, then rinse and dry. Avoid paint removers, acetone, oven cleaners and hair dyes, particularly on coloured matte finishes, and use a soft brush on fluted and dimpled surfaces where soap can collect.
Completing the room
