FAQs

What are the overall dimensions of the sink?

The overall dimensions are 595 mm (width) x 630 mm (depth) x 220 mm (height).

What is the size of the main bowl?

The main bowl measures 525 mm (width) x 440 mm (depth) x 180 mm (height).

How many tap holes can be created?

The sink comes undrilled, and provisions are made for up to three tap holes.

Does the sink come with a waste kit?

No, waste kits are sold separately. The sink is compatible with basket strainer waste and waste disposal units.

What is the manufacturer's guarantee?

Villeroy & Boch offers a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee. This guarantee does not cover damage incurred during tap hole creation or installation.

Can I install this sink myself?

While technically possible, professional installation is recommended due to the undrilled nature of the sink and the potential for damage during tap hole creation. Incorrect installation or damage may affect the warranty.

How should I clean stubborn stains?

For stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic sink cleaner weekly. Avoid abrasive materials. For very tough stains like limescale in hard water areas, a dedicated ceramic cleaner is most effective.

Troubleshooting

Sink has slight size variations.

This is normal due to the traditional hand-finishing process. Ensure measurements are taken on the installed sink if precise dimensions are critical for surrounding cabinetry.

Water is not draining properly.

Check that the waste kit is correctly installed and not blocked. Ensure the overflow is clear. If using a waste disposal unit, verify it is functioning correctly.

Surface appears dull or has faint scratches.

Clean the sink weekly with a specialized ceramic cleaner. For minor scratches, often a specific ceramic cleaner polish can help restore the finish. Avoid using abrasive materials during cleaning.

Tap holes are difficult to drill.

Ensure you are using the correct drill bits for ceramic and drilling at a slow speed. Professional installers have the right tools and experience for this task. Damage during drilling may void the warranty.
