FAQs
What type of faucet is recommended for this basin?
This basin features a standard single-hole faucet mount. We recommend faucets with a suitable reach and height to comfortably access the basin.
Is professional installation required?
Yes, due to the freestanding nature and plumbing connections, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure proper function and safety.
How do I clean the ceramic surface?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals to protect the glaze.
What are the dimensions of the basin?
Please refer to the product's technical specification sheet or diagram for precise dimensions, as these vary slightly by model.
Does the basin come with a drain or faucet?
This product typically includes the basin and its integrated overflow. Faucets, drains, and traps are usually sold separately.
Can this basin be installed in a small bathroom?
While it is a freestanding unit, its square bowl and pedestal design can fit in moderately sized bathrooms. Measure your space carefully to ensure adequate clearance.
What is the material of the basin?
The basin is constructed from high-quality ceramic, known for its durability, hygiene, and ease of cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Basin wobbles after installation.
Ensure the floor is perfectly level and the basin's base is in full contact. Check if any mounting bolts or securing mechanisms are loose and tighten them according to the installation manual.
Water does not drain properly.
Check the waste trap and drain pipe for any blockages. Ensure the overflow is clear. Verify that the drain assembly is correctly installed and sealed.
Faucet holes do not align with existing plumbing.
This basin is designed for specific faucet types. You may need to adjust your plumbing lines or select a different faucet model that matches the pre-drilled hole configuration.
Surface appears dull or stained.
Use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic. Avoid acidic or alkaline cleaning agents. A mild paste of baking soda and water may help remove light stains. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires a qualified plumber. The basin must be connected to water supply lines and a waste pipe. Ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting the basin's weight. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual for precise connections.
Compatibility: This basin is designed for use with standard single-hole faucets. Ensure your chosen faucet has a compatible reach and height for the basin's dimensions. Waste fittings (trap and drain) should be compatible with standard basin plumbing.
Care: Clean the ceramic surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the glaze. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be used cautiously. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth.
