The washbasin is made of high-quality sanitary ceramic with a glossy white finish.
Does this sink have an overflow hole?
No, the Rea Amelia washbasin does not have a pre-drilled overflow hole.
What type of faucet should I use with this sink?
Since there is no faucet hole, it is best suited for wall-mounted faucets or faucets designed for countertop installation behind the basin. Ensure compatibility with Rea's accessory range.
How do I clean and maintain the glossy finish?

What are the dimensions of the washbasin?
The dimensions are: Width: 400 mm, Height: 130 mm, Depth: 100 mm, Length: 510 mm.
Is this sink suitable for small bathrooms?
While it has a striking design, its dimensions (510mm length) might be better suited for medium to larger bathrooms or powder rooms where its unique shape can be appreciated without overwhelming the space.
What accessories are recommended to go with this sink?
Rea offers a wide selection of matching faucets, traps, and waste plugs specifically designed to complement this washbasin. It is recommended to use these for a cohesive look.
Troubleshooting
Sink is not draining properly.
Ensure the waste plug is correctly installed and the trap is not blocked. Check for any obstructions in the drainpipe.
Water is backing up or overflowing.
As this model lacks an overflow hole, be mindful of the water level. Ensure the faucet is fully turned off and the drain is clear.
Faucet installation is difficult.
Verify that your chosen faucet is compatible with sinks without pre-drilled holes. Wall-mounted faucets are often the simplest solution. Professional installation is recommended.
Surface appears dull or scratched.
Avoid abrasive cleaners. Use a specialized ceramic cleaner or a mild paste of baking soda and water, then rinse and buff dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Rea Amelia washbasin is designed for floor mounting. Ensure you have the appropriate mounting hardware and plumbing connections suitable for a floor-mounted fixture. Due to the absence of a faucet hole, you will need to select a wall-mounted faucet or a countertop faucet that can be installed on the counter surface behind the basin. Consult a professional plumber for optimal installation.
Compatibility: This washbasin is compatible with a wide range of Rea accessories, including various faucets, traps, and waste plugs. Ensure your chosen faucet is compatible with wall mounting or countertop installation behind the sink, as there is no integrated faucet hole. Due to its unique shape, always verify dimensions before purchasing additional plumbing components like traps.
Care: Clean the washbasin regularly using a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergents. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the glossy finish. For stubborn marks, a paste of baking soda and water can be used cautiously. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
