Filter byVandal proof basins are designed to withstand abuse, remaining in-tact and are less prone to shattering if a user is trying to damage them; this is thanks to them being made from highly durable and impact resistant materials such as stainless steel and composite resin.
We also sell anti-ligature sink products which are designed to prevent users from harming themselves or others, as fixtures cannot be attached as easily. Anti-ligature taps and sinks are therefore ideal for commercial washroom environments where there is a higher risk of individuals causing harm, such as prisons and mental health facilities.
Depending on the item, some basins are available with infra-red sensors to control the taps to further increase both vandal resistance and hygiene. These anti-vandal basins with sensors are particularly useful for washrooms with high traffic, such as public washrooms and schools.
We also sell a wide-range of other anti-vandal sanitary ware, including anti-vandal toilets and anti-vandal urinals. So, whether you’re looking to undergo a vandal proof washroom refurbishment or simply want to take extra measures to protect your building’s washroom facilities and its users, we can help. If you have any queries about one of our anti-ligature sinks or other products please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our sales team.

What does anti-ligature mean?
Anti-ligature refers to products or solutions which have little or no opportunity for fixing points for a ligature to be secured. Essentially, this prevents users who may be looking to self-harm or harm others from doing so, making the washroom a safer environment. Anti-ligature taps and sinks are therefore a popular public toilet sink option and are also suitable for other commercial washrooms such as in schools, prisons and mental health facilities.
What are basins made of?
Typically, hand wash basins are made from materials such as stainless steel, ceramic, resin or composite materials. Here at Commercial Washrooms, our anti-ligature sinks and vandal proof basins are made from stainless steel or composite resin material to ensure durability and easy maintenance. This particular range of basins is designed to resist damage so are perfect for washrooms subject to high traffic or vandalism.
