Wall mixer vs basin mixer
Choosing wall mixer vs basin mixer changes how your vanity looks and how the plumber roughs-in. A basin mixer sits on the vanity or basin deck. A wall mixer puts the controls on the wall, usually with a separate spout.
Quick comparison
- Basin mixer - faster for many renovations, one tap hole (or set), easy to service from the cabinet. Ideal when the wall is already tiled or you want a simple deck-mounted look.
- Wall mixer - cleaner deck, more of the vanity top free, progressive or conventional controls in the wall. Needs accurate rough-in height and spout reach before tiling.
- Vessel basins often need a tall basin / vessel mixer; wall spouts need confirmed projection over the rim.
