FAQs

What material is the Astini Desire 100 sink made from?

It is crafted from premium fire clay ceramic, known for its durability and resistance to stains and scratches.

Can I choose which side the bowl is on?

Yes, the sink is reversible, allowing you to position the bowl on either the left or right side during installation.

Does the sink come with a tap?

No, the sink is supplied without pre-drilled tap holes and does not include a tap. This allows for flexible tap placement.

What is included with the sink?

The sink includes a 90mm basket strainer waste with a removable basket and a square overflow waste kit.

How should I clean the matt grey finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.

What is the size variance of this sink?

Due to the hand-finished nature of ceramic products, sizes may vary by +/-2% from the stated dimensions. It's recommended to account for this during installation.

What is the manufacturer's warranty period?

The sink comes with a 15-year manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing defects. Some exclusions apply.

Troubleshooting

Sink does not drain properly.

Check the 90mm basket strainer waste for blockages. Ensure the removable basket is seated correctly. Verify that the plumbing trap is clear and the waste pipe is not obstructed.

Water pooling on the draining area.

Confirm the draining area is sloped correctly towards the bowl. Ensure no debris is obstructing the flow. Check that the sink is installed level.

Tap holes need to be drilled.

Use a suitable ceramic drill bit and proceed slowly with water lubrication to prevent chipping. Ensure you have planned the tap placement accurately before drilling.

Overflow is not functioning effectively.

Check the overflow channel for blockages. Ensure the square overflow waste kit is correctly installed and sealed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and high-quality fire clay ceramic construction.
  • Modern matte grey finish adds a stylish touch.
  • Flexible installation with reversible bowl and no pre-drilled tap holes.
  • Includes essential waste and overflow components.
  • Long 15-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Potential size variation of +/-2% due to hand-finishing requires careful measurement.
  • Requires separate purchase of a 1-bowl plumbing kit.
  • No pre-drilled tap holes means extra work if tapping on the sink is preferred.
  • Matt finish might show water spots more readily than gloss finishes if not wiped down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This sink is designed for inset installation. Due to the absence of pre-drilled tap holes, you or your installer have the flexibility to drill holes for taps, waste disposal units, or soap dispensers as needed. Ensure adequate space for installation, accounting for the potential ±2% size variance. The reversible bowl feature allows you to position the main bowl on either the left or right side.

Compatibility: The sink is compatible with standard 1-bowl plumbing kits. Ensure your chosen plumbing kit is suitable for ceramic sinks and the provided 90mm waste fittings.

Care: Clean the sink regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the matt finish. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive cream cleaner may be used sparingly. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
