Maintaining Bathroom Independence: The Benefits of Electric Basin Lifts
Adding an electric basin lift to your bathroom is an excellent way to help you enhance the accessibility of the space. An electric height-adjustable wash basin can be lifted and lowered quickly and easily to your desired height, meaning that if you live in a household with wheelchair and non-wheelchair users, anyone can use the bathroom comfortably.
There are a variety of options to choose from when picking an electric basin lift for your home:
- Granberg Basicline 415
- Granberg Designline 417
- Granberg Basicline 433
- Pressalit MATRIX
In the following sections, we will explore the products in more detail to help you decide which one is the best fit for your home.

Before we start explaining the differences between each Granberg basin lift, it is important to highlight that you have a choice of ergonomic wash basins that can be added to any product in the range. This gives you the freedom to select not only the rise and fall wash basin system itself, but also the wash basin, providing a fully customisable solution for your needs.
Granberg Basicline 415
The Basicline 415 is the most cost-effective option out of the Granberg electric range. This makes it an excellent choice if you are looking for a product that is more budget-friendly, but you don’t want to compromise on the functionality of an electric basin lift.
With a width of 650mm, the wash basin can either be floor standing or wall mounted, depending on your preferences. For best effect, position it below a mirror or wall cabinet, as the unit itself does not include a mirror. However, this is great if you already have a washbasin set up below a mirror or cabinet, as you can simply replace it with the Basicline 415. The pedestal cover effectively conceals any pipes and hoses, resulting in an elegant finish.
The Basicline 415 offers a stepless height adjustment within a range of 250mm, which can be easily controlled using the corded hand controller. It also features a safety stop switch to guarantee secure operation. Alternatively, if you prefer, the system can be adjusted using a remote control, but this will require a second plug socket. This feature allows you to adapt the wash basin to accommodate the specific needs of both seated and standing users. A factor that proves especially beneficial in scenarios where multiple individuals with different height requirements will be using the bathroom within a short period of time.
Overall, the Basicline 415 strikes a balance between affordability, functionality and convenience, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more cost-effective electric basin lift solution.

Granberg Designline 417
This basin lift differs from the previous model because it offers full height adjustability and has additional features such as a mirror and canopy-mounted LED downlights, which both move simultaneously with the washbasin. This product is available in White, Oak or Black, so you can customise it to seamlessly blend with the aesthetic of your bathroom. Similarly to the Basicline 415, it also provides stepless height adjustment within a range of 250mm using the corded hand controller or with a remote control.
This option is perfect if you desire a comprehensive solution that not only fulfils your need for functionality in your bathroom, but also allows for personalisation according to your colour preferences.

Granberg Basicline 433
The Basicline 433 offers a more minimalist design while still incorporating a mirror and lighting feature. With a width of 620mm, it is designed to be wall mounted, maximising space efficiency. Just like the previous products, the height can be adjusted by 250mm using the corded hand controller or remote.
In contrast to the other models, the Basicline 433 does not have panelling to conceal the pipes beneath the washbasin. However, this simplicity contributes to the overall sleek aesthetic of the product. The mirror is directly attached to the wall and spans the same width as the washbasin. Alongside the mirror, there is also an LED lighting bar, and both this and the mirror move in tandem with the basin.
The advantage of choosing the Basicline 433 is that it offers the additional features of the mirror and lighting, but all at a slightly lower price point compared to the Designline 417.

Pressalit MATRIX
The Pressalit MATRIX is an electric bracket designed to create a powered rise and fall basin unit. It is exclusively compatible with MATRIX washbasins.
One of the key features of this product is the attention to aesthetics and functionality. The feed and waste systems are concealed behind a white cover, maintaining a clean and seamless appearance. You can conveniently adjust the height of the wash basin by 200mm using the operating buttons on the front edge of the Pressalit MATRIX, allowing you to cater to each user's individual preferences and requirements.
If you are looking for a more budget-friendly alternative, or believe that the flexibility offered by an electric rise and fall wash basin is not necessary for your specific needs, a manual basin lift may be a more suitable choice for you.
