Product Information

Full details

The RAK Ceramics Variant Square Under Counter Wash Basin is designed for homeowners seeking a sleek, modern aesthetic in their bathroom. Its primary benefit is the seamless, rim-free look achieved through under-counter installation, creating a clean and minimalist vanity. A key consideration is that it requires a separate slotted waste, which is not supplied with the basin. This basin is crafted from high-quality gloss white vitreous china, offering durability, a non-porous surface, and resistance to stains, making it easy to maintain.

FAQs

What type of waste fitting do I need?

This basin requires a slotted waste fitting because it features an overflow.

Can I install a mixer tap directly onto the basin?

No, this basin has no tap holes. You will need to use either deck-mounted taps installed on the countertop or wall-mounted taps.

What are the exact dimensions for the countertop cutout?

The basin itself measures 475mm deep x 475mm wide. You should consult with your installer or countertop fabricator for the precise cutout dimensions, as this can vary slightly based on installation method and desired edge overlap.

Is the basin supplied with a template for cutting the countertop?

Templates are typically not supplied with the basin. It is recommended to use the basin's physical dimensions and consult with your installer for accurate countertop preparation.

How do I clean the gloss white surface?

Clean the basin with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

What warranty does this basin come with?

The RAK Ceramics Variant Square Under Counter Wash Basin is supplied with a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Is the basin reversible?

No, the basin is designed for under-counter installation with a fixed orientation for the overflow.

Troubleshooting

Basin is not draining properly.

Ensure the correct slotted waste fitting is installed and that the overflow is not blocked. Check the P-trap for any obstructions.

Water is pooling around the rim after installation.

Verify that the basin is correctly seated and sealed against the countertop. Check that the countertop cutout is precise and the basin is level.

Visible scratches on the surface.

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner. Avoid using harsh scrubbing tools in the future.

Difficulty installing the waste.

Ensure you are using a waste designed for basins with an overflow. Consult the waste manufacturer's instructions for specific fitting procedures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Countertop Preparation: Ensure your countertop has a precisely cut opening to match the basin's dimensions (475mm deep x 475mm wide) for an under-counter fit. Consult with your installer for exact measurements and support requirements.
  2. Waste Installation: Secure a slotted waste (sold separately) to the basin's waste outlet. Connect the trap and plumbing according to local building codes.
  3. Tap Installation: Install deck-mounted or wall-mounted taps as per the tap manufacturer's instructions. Ensure plumbing connections are accessible.
  4. Securing the Basin: Apply a suitable sealant around the edge of the countertop opening before carefully positioning and securing the basin from underneath.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Compatible with all deck-mounted and wall-mounted taps. Not compatible with standard pillar taps that would typically sit on the basin edge.
  • Waste: Requires a slotted waste fitting due to the basin's overflow.
  • Countertops: Ideal for solid surface, quartz, granite, or laminate countertops with appropriate support.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the glaze.
  • Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
  • Periodically check plumbing connections for leaks.
