FAQs

What type of tap should I use with this basin?

This basin is designed with a single tap hole, making it compatible with mono basin mixer taps. These taps have a single control for both hot and cold water and are mounted through one hole.

Can this basin be wall-mounted without a vanity unit?

The 'semi-recessed' design specifically means it is intended to be installed into a vanity unit or countertop. While custom wall mounting might be possible, it deviates from the intended installation and may not be structurally sound or aesthetically pleasing without a supporting furniture unit.

What are the overall dimensions of the basin?

The basin measures 46cm in width. Please refer to the product technical specifications for exact depth and height measurements.

Does the basin come with a waste fitting or tap?

No, the basin is typically sold separately from the waste fitting and tap. These components need to be purchased independently.

How do I clean the alpine white finish?

Clean the alpine white finish with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

What is the purpose of the integrated overflow?

The integrated overflow is a safety feature that helps prevent the basin from overflowing if the tap is left running and the drain is blocked. It allows excess water to escape through a dedicated channel.

Troubleshooting

Basin does not sit flush with the countertop.

Check the cutout dimensions for accuracy and ensure the basin is correctly seated. Adjust securing mechanisms if necessary.

Tap is not compatible with the single tap hole.

Ensure you are using a mono basin mixer tap designed for a single-hole installation. Confirm the tap base fits the hole diameter.

Water is not draining effectively.

Check for blockages in the basin waste or the trap. Ensure the overflow is also clear and connected.

Overflow is leaking.

Inspect the seal on the overflow fitting. Ensure it is properly seated and tightened according to the waste manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a suitable vanity unit or countertop with a precisely cut aperture for the semi-recessed installation.
  2. Fit the basin into the countertop aperture, securing it according to manufacturer or installer guidelines.

  4. Connect the waste and trap, ensuring the overflow outlet is also connected.

Care:
