Gabbiano Porto black hairdressing backwash unit

A backwash unit with a ceramic basin mounted on a white wedge-shaped base. The upholstery, armrests, and fittings are black, so the furniture reads as a contrast of black and white rather than a single solid block. You can adjust the basin angle to suit the client's height, and there is a gap between the backrest and seat through which you can sweep away hair.

Key features

  • Ceramic basin with a deep bowl
  • Adjustable basin angle
  • Contoured rim with plastic cover
  • Opening between the backrest and seat makes cleaning easier
  • Metal armrests
  • Mixer tap, shower handset, and hoses included
  • Water connection concealed inside the base

Gap between the backrest and seat

Hair does not collect in a recess because there is no recess beneath the backrest. In a typical backwash unit, the backrest meets the seat, and everything that falls from the client's head collects along this line. Porto has free space across the entire width of the chair, so a broom or vacuum cleaner can pass underneath in a single motion. With ten washes a day, one pass at the end of the shift is enough.

Basin rim with cover

The neck rests on plastic, not cold ceramic. The rim is contoured to fit the neck and covered with an overlay, so the client does not lie on a hard edge. The basin itself is 56 cm wide, 50 cm deep, and positioned 38 cm above the base, while its angle can be adjusted to suit the client's height. The ceramic does not absorb hair-dye pigments or become dull from styling products.

Mixer tap

You set the temperature with one lever, without having to find the right proportions. The tap is positioned at the back of the basin, out of the client's head's reach. There is also a dedicated place to put the shower handset, so it does not lie in the basin and block the drain. The complete tap set comes with the hoses.

Plug with strainer

The strainer catches hair before it enters the trap. The chrome-plated plug closes the drain while also filtering the water. It is a small detail that saves you from calling a plumber, because the hair stays on top, where it is immediately visible and can be removed by hand.

Connection concealed in the base

The pipes run inside the wedge, not along the wall. The rear wall of the base has an inspection flap, so the installation can be accessed without removing the basin. Nothing protrudes from the outside except the shower hose. The backwash unit requires a permanent connection to the water supply and drain, like any backwash unit with a basin.

Metal armrests

The armrest is 37 cm long, with a profile 4 cm wide. Its shape is geometric, bent at a right angle rather than oval. The edge is positioned at the height where the hand rests naturally. In this version, the finish is black and aligns with the upholstery.

Synthetic leather upholstery

The upholstery is backed with deformation-resistant foam. The seat is 9 cm thick and the backrest is 43 cm high. The surface is smooth, with a single seam along the edge, so there are no recesses where dye can collect. Synthetic leather withstands daily wiping with an alcohol-free product.

Who it is for

For a salon where the backwash unit is in a visible location and is cleaned after every client. There is open space across the full width of the chair between the backrest and seat, so a broom can pass underneath in a single sweep.

FAQ

Does the backwash unit require a water connection?
Yes. The water connection and drain run inside the base, and the rear flap provides access to them.

How large is the basin?
56 x 50 cm, with a bowl depth of 20 cm.

Can the basin angle be adjusted?
Yes, the basin can be tilted to suit the client's height and position.

What is included?
Mixer tap, shower handset and hoses.

How much space does the backwash unit take up?
110 cm long; the base is 68 cm high.

What should I use to disinfect the upholstery?
With alcohol-free products and products without strong detergents. Alcohol-based products and products such as Cif remove the protective layer from synthetic leather, causing the material to become dull and lose its flexibility.

The basin drops downward. What should I do?
The basin angle is adjusted using the screws and nuts at its mount, and adjustment may be needed after transport. Loosen the nut, tighten the screw underneath, then tighten the nut again: one pair of screws tilts the basin downward, the other upward. Tighten them gradually, a little on each side. If the basin still drops after adjustment, contact us.
