Bracket for countertop wash basin

[scoletti]

I am trying to source a suitable shelf bracket to support a countertop wash basin.

The countertop will be made from ply, lined on top with with knauf aquapanel, and then mosaic tiles etc. The single wash basin will be on top of this countertop. Counter top will be approx 900x500mm.

Just finding it difficult sourcing a suitable bracket.

Hopefully someone can reccommend. Also if have any other ideas regarding creating a countertop.

Make something up with "Uni-strut" the wall part of the bracket can be cut into the wall and tiled/plastered over. The horizontal part can be lost into the thickness of the countertop.

i've bought a countertop and cupboard underneath instead. But now need to work out how to secure the vessel type basin to the worktop? any ideas? Also i have to get a unslotted popup waste thats long enough to go through worktop which 38mm. Not sure how to secure and fix everything. Can anyone advise?

Why not ask where you bought the basin, they will know how its fixed and should be able to sell you an extended waste. There are several options for fixing but will depend on the basin. If you got the basin cheap of e-bay or the like then thats the price you pay.

Use an extended waste with one backnut to seal waste to basin then another backnut under the worktop to hold the basin down, may have to recess the first backnut into the countertop.

Bead of silicon around basin onve its fixed.
