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, which combine hot and cold water controls into a single lever.
Do I need a special type of waste fitting?
Yes, this basin does not have an overflow, so it requires an *unslotted* basin waste. A slotted waste will not seal properly.
Are the taps and waste included with the basin?
No, the taps and waste fittings are sold separately. You will need to purchase these in addition to the basin.
How do I clean the basin's gloss finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
What is the warranty period for this basin?
RAK Ceramics provides a comprehensive 25-year guarantee on this basin, covering manufacturing defects.
Can this basin be installed as a semi-recessed unit?
This basin is designed for countertop installation, meaning it sits entirely on top of the counter. It is not designed for semi-recessed mounting.
Is it difficult to install a countertop basin?
Installation requires basic plumbing and DIY skills. It involves securing the basin to the countertop, installing the tap and waste, and connecting the plumbing. If unsure, professional installation is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Basin wobbles after installation
Ensure the basin is correctly and securely fixed to the countertop with adequate sealant. Check that the countertop itself is stable.
Water does not drain effectively
Verify that the unslotted waste is correctly installed and free of debris. Ensure the connected plumbing is not blocked.
Surface scratches or dulls
Cease using abrasive cleaning materials. Use only mild detergents and a soft cloth for cleaning.
Water level rises too high without overflowing
This is an intended feature of the no-overflow design. Monitor water levels carefully during use to prevent spills.
