FAQs

What material is the Abode Oriel sink made from?

The sink is constructed from a durable granite and acrylic composite, providing a robust and aesthetically pleasing matt finish.

Is the drainer position fixed?

What are the external dimensions of the sink?

The external dimensions are 780mm in length (width) and 480mm in depth (width), with a height of 200mm.

What is the minimum cabinet size required for installation?

You will need a minimum cabinet width of 450mm to properly install this sink.

Does the sink come with a tap?

No, the tap is not included with the sink. You will need to purchase a compatible kitchen tap separately.

What accessories are included?

The sink comes with essential accessories including wastes, overflows, and pipework (AX1051, AX1033, AX4024, AX4004).

What is the warranty period for this sink?

Troubleshooting

Sink is not draining properly.

Check that the siphon and waste pipes are correctly assembled and not blocked. Ensure the drainer is level and not angled incorrectly. Verify that the overflow is not obstructed.

Minor scratches visible on the surface.

For light scratches on granite composite, try using a specialized granite sink cleaner or a paste made of baking soda and water. Gently rub the affected area, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive materials.

Water is pooling on the drainer.

Ensure the drainer itself is installed level. Check that the drainage channel on the drainer is clear of any debris. If the sink was installed at an angle, this may need adjustment.

The black finish seems dull.

Clean the sink thoroughly with a mild detergent and rinse well. Apply a small amount of specialized granite sink polish or a food-safe mineral oil (like baby oil) with a soft cloth to restore lustre. Buff gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Check Cabinet Size: Ensure your kitchen cabinet has a minimum internal width of 450mm to accommodate the sink and its fixings.
  2. Cut-out Template: Use the provided template (if applicable) or carefully measure the cut-out dimensions (W 752mm x D 460mm) on your countertop.
  3. Position Sink: Place the sink into the cut-out, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. Secure Sink: Use the provided mounting kit to securely fasten the sink from underneath the countertop.
  5. Install Plumbing: Connect the included wastes and siphon to the sink bowls and then to your existing plumbing.
  6. Tap Installation: If a tap is to be fitted, use the pre-drilled tap holes (2 x 35mm part drilled) to install your chosen faucet according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility:

  • Cabinet Width: Requires a minimum cabinet width of 450mm.
  • Worktop Thickness: > Info needed: Specific compatible worktop thickness range.
  • Plumbing Systems: Compatible with standard UK plumbing systems.
  • Tap Holes: Pre-drilled for two 35mm taps, meaning you can install a standard kitchen faucet and potentially a separate filtered water tap or soap dispenser.

Care:

  • Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the matt finish.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive household cleaner specifically designed for granite composite sinks. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
  • Water Marks: To prevent limescale build-up and water marks, dry the sink with a soft cloth after use, especially in hard water areas.
  • Protect the Finish: Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects directly into the sink, as this could cause chips or scratches.
