In order to enable very individual bathroom architectures to be created, Alape products have always had a strongly geometric and purist design. Now, new, innovative production methods make it possible to define a basin?s size and shape even more precisely. All built-in basins without tap holes can be universally installed from above or below into counter tops of any material. They are set into the top of the washstand using special glue that doubles as a sealant. The basins can therefore be glazed as standard on both the inside and the outside, and there is no need for any visible fixing plate.
