It shows its whole shape and turns the washbasin area into a design feature. Choosing one is mainly a matter of three things: the tap, the height and the size of the worktop. ### Start with the tap This is the most important decision, because it determines the basin model and the work on the wall or the worktop. - [Evona](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/countertop-basins/evona/) has **no tap hole**. It is used with a wall-mounted tap, whose pipes are built into the wall above the basin, or with a tall basin mixer fixed to the worktop next to or behind the basin. - [Felis](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/countertop-basins/felis/) has **one tap hole** on its rear deck. It takes a standard single-hole basin mixer, fixed directly on the basin, so no tap hole is needed in the worktop. With a wall-mounted tap, check that the spout is long enough to reach over the edge of the basin and to let water fall near the waste. ### Get the height right The rim of a countertop basin is higher than the worktop it stands on. Evona is 14 cm high and Felis 13.5 cm. Many people find a rim height of around 85 cm comfortable; with these basins, that means a worktop around 70 to 72 cm high. Adjust to the users: a little higher for tall people, lower in a children's bathroom. ### Size and worktop - Evona measures 50.5 × 40 cm. It suits standard single vanity units and gives generous room for washing. - Felis measures 49 × 38.5 cm with a compact bowl. It suits guest toilets and narrow vanities. Allow a few centimetres of worktop around the basin, plus space for the mixer if it is fixed to the worktop. The worktop needs a hole for the waste, and a second hole if you choose a deck-mounted tall mixer for Evona. ### Waste and finishes Both basins are supplied without waste, so you can match its finish to the tapware (chrome, black, brushed metal). Evona has a Ø 46 mm waste outlet. Ask your plumber to choose the waste and trap according to the basin and to the plug you prefer. Evona exists in gloss white and matt black; Felis in gloss white. A matt black Evona works well with a matt black [Vega Square](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/wall-hung-toilets/vega-square/) toilet. Glazed ceramic is cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild product; avoid abrasive powders, especially on matt surfaces. ### Matching the mirror Choose a mirror about as wide as the basin or slightly wider, centred above it. A round [Luz Round](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/led-bathroom-mirrors/luz-round/) softens a rectangular basin; a [Luz Square](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/led-bathroom-mirrors/luz-square/) continues its straight lines. ### Checklist before ordering - Tap type: wall-mounted, tall mixer on the worktop, or standard mixer on the basin - Worktop height, depth and material - Waste and trap in the same finish as the tap - Basin finish and matching mirror See also our [LED mirrors](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/led-bathroom-mirrors/) and [wall-hung toilets](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/wall-hung-toilets/). ## Frequently asked questions **Is the waste included with the basins?** No. Evona and Felis are supplied without waste, so you can choose a waste and trap in the same finish as the tapware. **Which tap goes with which basin?** Evona has no tap hole and works with a wall-mounted tap or a tall basin mixer.
