FAQs
Is each basin identical in appearance?
No, each basin is made from natural river stone, meaning there will be unique variations in color, shape, and texture from one basin to another. This uniqueness is a key characteristic of the product.
What is the diameter of the drain hole?
The drain hole has a diameter of 1.8 inches, designed to fit standard drain assemblies.
What type of faucets are compatible?
The basin is compatible with most standard bathroom faucets. Consider the reach and height of the faucet to ensure comfortable use with the oval basin.
How do I clean the river stone basin?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and dry after use to maintain its natural appearance.
Can this basin be used in a commercial setting?
While designed for bathrooms and washrooms, its natural stone material and unique appearance can be suitable for certain commercial spaces that aim for an organic or high-end aesthetic, provided installation requirements are met.
What is the weight of the basin?
Due to the natural river stone material, the basin is quite heavy. Specific weight can vary, but professional installation is recommended to ensure secure mounting.
Does the basin come with a drain assembly or faucet?
No, the basin is sold separately and does not include a drain assembly or faucet. These components need to be purchased in addition.
Troubleshooting
Basin has an uneven surface or visible crack.
As this is a natural river stone product, slight variations in surface texture and minor natural fissures are expected. Significant cracks affecting structural integrity should be addressed by contacting customer support.
Water is not draining properly.
Check the 1.8" drain hole for any obstructions. Ensure the drain assembly is correctly installed and sealed, and that the connected drain pipe is not blocked.
Difficult to clean due to water spots.
Wipe the basin dry with a soft cloth after each use. Use a specialized natural stone cleaner periodically to remove mineral deposits and water spots.
Basin feels unstable after installation.
Verify that the mounting hardware and sealant are properly applied and have cured. Ensure the countertop or vanity can adequately support the basin's weight.
