Troubleshooting
Basin wobbles after installation
Check that the basin is properly seated on the countertop and that any adhesive or mounting hardware is fully cured and secure. Ensure the countertop itself is level.
Water spills over the edge
As there is no overflow hole, be mindful of the water level. Turn off the faucet promptly once the desired water level is reached. Ensure your faucet has a reliable shut-off mechanism.
Matte finish appears dull
Clean the basin using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically recommended for matte finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which can alter the surface appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Secure the basin according to standard countertop sink installation practices, using appropriate adhesives or mounting hardware.
