FAQs
What is included with the Ideal Standard I.life S Vanity Basin?
The package includes the 80cm white vitreous china basin. The tap, waste, overflow pipe, and fixing kit are sold separately.
What are the dimensions of the basin?
The basin is 80cm wide. It features a reduced projection, making it suitable for various bathroom sizes.
Can this basin be used with any type of tap?
Yes, it features a single central tap hole, making it compatible with most standard single-hole basin taps.
How should I clean the basin to maintain its finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the glossy surface.
Is this basin suitable for small bathrooms?
Yes, its reduced projection is specifically designed to be a space-saving solution, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms or en-suites.
What is the material of the basin?
The basin is crafted from high-quality vitreous china, known for its durability and easy-to-clean glossy white finish.
Can I install this basin myself?
Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge and tools. If you are not comfortable with plumbing, it is recommended to hire a professional plumber. Ensure you have the correct fixing kit for your wall type.
Troubleshooting
Basin is not draining properly.
Check the basin waste and overflow pipe for any blockages. Ensure the waste trap is clear and the overflow is not obstructed.
Tap is leaking.
Ensure the tap is correctly installed and all connections are tight. If the leak persists, the tap's internal components may need servicing or replacement.
Basin appears unstable after installation.
Re-check the fixing screws or mounting brackets. Ensure they are securely fastened to the wall or vanity unit and that the basin is seated correctly.
Water is overflowing despite the overflow hole.
The overflow hole itself might be blocked. Clean it thoroughly. Also, ensure the waste is draining efficiently; a slow drain can cause water to back up.
