FAQs

Does the washbasin come with a faucet or drain assembly?

No, the washbasin is sold separately from faucets and drain assemblies. You will need to purchase these compatible items separately.

Can I install a standard faucet directly into the basin?

No, this basin does not have pre-drilled holes for faucets. You will need to use a faucet designed for countertop mounting or a wall-mounted faucet.

What is the material of the washbasin?

The washbasin is made from high-quality sanitary ceramics.

How do I clean the golden rim?

Clean the golden rim gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For stubborn spots, use a cleaner specifically formulated for plated finishes.

What are the external dimensions of the washbasin?

The external dimensions are 515 mm in length, 375 mm in width, and 135 mm in height.

Is there an overflow hole in the basin?

No, this washbasin does not feature an overflow hole.

What size drain is required?

The washbasin has a drain hole diameter of 45 mm, requiring a compatible waste fitting.

Troubleshooting

Water not draining properly

Check the 45mm drain hole and the connected waste trap for any blockages. Ensure the waste fitting is correctly installed.

Golden rim losing its luster

Ensure you are not using harsh cleaning chemicals. Try cleaning with a soft cloth and water. If residue remains, use a cleaner specifically designed for plated finishes.

Scratches on the ceramic surface

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner. For deeper scratches, professional repair may be needed. Avoid placing sharp objects directly on the surface.

Difficulty finding compatible faucet hardware

Focus on faucets designed for single-hole countertop mounting or wall-mounted options. Consult with your plumber for recommendations on suitable fixtures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Unique and artistic design that elevates bathroom aesthetics.
Durable and easy-to-maintain sanitary ceramic material.
Luxurious finish with the golden rim.
Versatile mounting options on countertops or cabinets.
Provides a clean look due to the absence of pre-drilled tap/overflow holes.

Cons

Requires specific faucet and drainage solutions due to the absence of pre-drilled holes.
May be challenging to integrate with standard, pre-fabricated vanity units without modification.
The golden rim may require specific cleaning agents to maintain its finish.
The wavy design might be polarizing for minimalist tastes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This washbasin is designed for countertop or cabinet mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and capable of supporting the weight of the basin when filled with water. Professional plumbing installation is recommended due to the absence of pre-drilled holes for faucets and overflows. A standard 45mm drain hole requires a compatible waste fitting.

Compatibility:

Faucets: Compatible with single-hole faucets mounted on the countertop or wall-mounted faucets. Ensure faucet height and reach are appropriate for the basin's dimensions.
Drainage: Requires a 45mm drain diameter waste trap and overflow (if desired, though the basin itself does not have an overflow hole). Consider a pop-up or click-clack waste.
Countertops: Suitable for most solid countertop materials like granite, quartz, marble, or solid wood (with proper sealing).

Care:

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that could damage the ceramic or the golden rim.
For the golden rim, use a soft cloth and water or a specialized cleaner for plated finishes if necessary. Do not use ammonia-based or bleach-based cleaners.
Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
