What is the warranty period?

Is the finish prone to staining?

Does the sink come with the tap included?

Troubleshooting
Water draining slowly
Check that the removable basket strainer is not clogged with food debris and ensure the plumbing trap is clear.
Surface appears to have slight aesthetic variations
This is a normal result of the handmade manufacturing process and does not affect the structural integrity of the sink.
Difficulty with tap installation
Ensure the tap shank is compatible with the pre-drilled hole size; use a suitable basin wrench to tighten the fixing nut securely from beneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: This sink is designed as an inset sit-on model. Due to its significant weight and robust granite construction, ensure your kitchen cabinet unit is structurally reinforced to support the sink safely. We recommend consulting with a professional joiner or kitchen fitter for installation.
Plumbing: The unit is fully compatible with standard 1-bowl plumbing kits. It is also designed to accommodate most standard waste disposal units, providing flexibility for your kitchen setup.
Care: To maintain the matt finish, clean regularly using mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals that could dull the surface over time. If the sink encounters hard water deposits, a gentle application of white vinegar diluted with water is recommended.
