FAQs
What is the main advantage of a wall-hung basin?
The primary advantage is its space-saving design, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms, cloakrooms, and en-suites as it mounts directly to the wall, leaving the floor clear.
Are taps and waste included with the basin?
No, taps, bottle traps, and wastes are not included with this basin and must be purchased separately.
What material is the basin made from?
The basin is manufactured from high-quality vitreous china, known for its durability and ease of cleaning.
How do I clean the basin?
Clean the basin with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
What are the dimensions of the basin?
The basin has a width of 500mm.
Can this basin be used in a standard bathroom?
Yes, while ideal for smaller spaces, it can be used in any bathroom where a wall-hung design is desired for aesthetic or practical reasons.
What type of wall fixings are needed?
The specific wall fixings required will depend on your wall type (e.g., brick, stud wall). These are not supplied with the basin, so please ensure you use appropriate, secure fixings.
Troubleshooting
Basin is not draining properly.
Check the bottle trap and waste for any blockages. Ensure the overflow is clear.
Tap is leaking after installation.
Ensure all connections between the tap, basin, and water supply are tightened correctly and use appropriate seals or plumber's tape.
Water splashes excessively when used.
Adjust the water flow from the tap. Consider if the tap's aerator is functioning correctly or if a different tap spout design might be more suitable.
Minor chips or scratches on the surface.
For very minor imperfections, a ceramic repair kit might be used. For significant damage, consult a professional installer about potential replacement.
