Product Information

Full details

The RAK Ceramics Variant Rectangular Under Counter Wash Basin is designed for those seeking a modern, seamless bathroom aesthetic. Its key benefit is the integrated look achieved by mounting beneath the countertop, creating an easy-to-clean surface. A potential caveat is the requirement for a separate slotted waste and the need for deck or wall-mounted taps, as it features no tap hole. This basin is crafted from gloss white vitreous china, offering durability and a non-porous, stain-resistant finish. Its rectangular 550mm format is ideal for standard vanity units and countertops, providing a clean, high-quality appearance.

FAQs

What type of waste fitting do I need?

This basin requires a slotted waste fitting. A slotted waste allows air to enter the trap, preventing 'glugging' sounds and ensuring efficient drainage.

Can I install a standard mixer tap directly into the basin?

No, this basin does not have any pre-drilled tap holes. You must use deck-mounted taps (installed on the countertop) or wall-mounted taps.

What are the overall dimensions of the basin?

The basin measures 665mm deep, 416mm wide, and 195mm tall. The relevant basin bowl width for countertop cutting is 550mm.

How do I clean the basin surface?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild bathroom cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals to protect the gloss finish.

What is the warranty period for this basin?

The RAK Ceramics Variant Rectangular Under Counter Basin comes with a 25-year guarantee.

Is the waste trap included with the basin?

No, the basin does not include a waste trap or a waste fitting. These must be purchased separately.

What kind of countertop is best for this basin?

This basin is compatible with a variety of countertop materials, including quartz, granite, solid surface, and sealed timber, provided they are properly cut and finished for under-counter installation.

Troubleshooting

Basin is not draining properly.

Ensure a slotted waste is installed correctly and that the basin trap is not blocked. Check for any obstructions in the waste pipe.

Water splashes excessively.

Consider adjusting the flow rate of your chosen tap or ensure the tap spout is positioned correctly over the basin.

Visible stains on the surface.

Clean immediately with mild soap and water. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner as per the care instructions.

Difficulty in mounting the basin securely.

Refer to the installation manual for specific instructions regarding adhesive and clamping methods suitable for your countertop material.
