"2step": Unique precision step by step

With "2step" Alape introduces a new and very distinctive basin range. The name is an unmistakable reference to its uniqueness: The basin's strictly geometrical form features a distinctive stepped tap area on one side. This step and its precise execution provides further evidence for Alape's expert craftsmanship and proof that the manufacturer can rise to any conceivable challenge when it comes to working with glassed steel.

The "2step" is distinguished by two main features: The narrow basin edge, which is just 3mm thick and the unique design of the raised tap area. In two steps, the basin’s depth is split into two different levels, with the main bowl separated from the tap area. This can also be used as a functional shelf for accessories that get wet during use, while the surrounding counter top and furniture remain dry.

The appeal of "2step" lies in the precision of its angles, straight lines and contours – a characteristic that can be attributed to Alape's unique competency in the processing of composite material, glassed steel. The steel which has been used for the basin is only 3mm in thickness - this allows for an impressive and precise edge which looks as though it could have been drawn with a ruler. This dimensional and positional stability cannot be valued highly enough, as it is the prerequisite for the accurate installation into a counter top or furniture.

"2step" is available in two installation versions: Alape's built-in basin is an elegant special solution with a standard basin edge which protrudes 25mm from the counter top. With a flush-mounted installation, the upper edge of the basin and the counter top material sit side by side to create a harmonious finish, while the seal is near invisible. The aesthetic requirements of both processes are only possible due to the high precision of the material and thanks to the production expertise of the Goslar-based manufacturer.

Depending on the structural setting or personal taste, the tap area can sit to the right or left or parallel to the wall. The asymmetrical design is available in widths of 525mm and 700mm, while the symmetrical positioning is reserved for widths of 500mm and 600mm.
