Concrete. A unique material with distinct, organic characteristics spanning a vast spectrum.
Kast is a series of concrete hand wash basins designed to accentuate the desirable qualities of concrete through striking and sophisticated forms.
With an aim to produce a basin for every setting, Kast have developed a wide range of basins with customisable options for size, colour and style. Each basin is made to order providing you with the opportunity to tailor the design to your individual scheme, brief and lifestyle.
With the ability to produce multiple forms, Kast basins are ideal for development projects as well as the domestic market.

Kast’s parent company lowinfo was founded 18 years ago when London-trained fine art graduate Tim Bayes began exploring ways of using concrete in contemporary interiors. Working with this ‘liquid stone’ that was strong, durable and aesthetically pure, he was convinced that it could become the ideal material for interior surfaces and products.
Realising this vision took many years of development, researching and refining both the precise mix of the concrete and the complex casting process. Tim has grown his team and continued to innovate, pushing the envelope of how concrete can be used. Kast is the product of all these years of experience, condensed into a range of contemporary and sophisticated concrete basins.
Just a couple of miles from the world-famous Sherwood Forest, our factory continues the rich industrial history of Nottinghamshire, employing the best designers and expert craftsmen. The factory is also home to a research and development facility where specialist admixtures, tints and casting processes are tested to bring you outstanding strength, durability and silk-smooth finishes. From this base, Kast basins can be delivered throughout the country and across the world in days.
If our exclusive concrete mix is about what we put in, our distinctive designs are about paring down the form, leaving simple lines and elegant, contemporary solutions. We straddle the divide between the creative craft and the machine modern, delivering a range of products that marry high end design with exceptional performance.
While producing basins for the residential and domestic market, we also work closely with architects on commercial projects with discerning global clients. Suitable for any commercial, residential or domestic development, Kast offer a solution for all whether small scale or large.
That’s why when concrete is specified, the natural choice is to choose Kast.

Technical DrawingsOur concrete sinks all begin with precision drawings created by our team of product designers to ensure complete accuracy and a refined finish.
FabricationA basin is only as good as the mould from which it was produced. Understanding this, Kast employs expert craftsmen in our fabrication unit who take drawings and painstakingly manufacture the complex bespoke moulds that deliver superb results with every casting.
CastingAchieving consistent mixes with our specially developed blends of cements, admixtures, aggregates and tints is a highly skilled process. Serving up impeccable standards every time, our casting team mix, pour and manage custom setting profiles for every batch of Kast basins.
FinishingOnce delivered from the mould, every basin undergoes rigorous inspections before being hand polished, sealed and finished. When you buy Kast, you can buy with absolute confidence that your basin has been signed off personally by our quality control and finishing team.
DeliverySited centrally in the UK, Kast basins enjoy fast delivery times both nationally and internationally. Expertly packed your Kast product will be with you and ready for installation in days.
KastThe Process From initial designs to final production and delivery, each Kast basin is handmade by our skilled team
Kast | 1514 | Kast
Concrete is derived from a number of materials that are variable in nature and acheiving consistent mixes with our specially developed blends of cements, admixtures, aggregates and tints is a highly skilled process.
The organic variations in colour and surface texture that can occur as a result of this process, such as flow lines and bug holes, create a distinctive aesthetic that is integral to the character of the material.
Much like a natural stone or timber, concrete will also naturally patina over time and will evolve depending on the usage and surroundings. These idiosyncrasies are considered part of the aesthetic appeal of concrete and are what makes each Kast basin unique.
