Granite Kitchen Sink Single Basin Oval - VidaXL

Yes, the granite composite material (80% quartz, 20% resin) is designed to be highly heat resistant, allowing you to place hot pots and pans directly into the basin without damage to the material.

The sink is described as 'easy to assemble' and designed for overmount installation. However, proper sealing and alignment are crucial to prevent leaks. We recommend carefully reading the provided instructions or consulting a professional if you're unsure about any steps.

For daily cleaning, use mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals like bleach or strong acids, as these can damage the composite surface. There are also specialized granite sink cleaners available for deeper cleaning.

It means the sink can be installed with the basin oriented to either the left or right side of your countertop opening, providing flexibility to match your kitchen layout and plumbing connections.

No, the product description indicates that only a basket strainer is included. You will need to purchase a faucet separately to complete your installation.

This sink requires a minimum base unit width of 500 mm to ensure proper fit and support within your kitchen cabinetry.

The granite composite material is impact resistant, designed to withstand typical knocks and drops of kitchen items like dishes and cutlery without chipping or cracking, contributing significantly to its longevity.

Ensure the included basket strainer is clear of debris. For persistent slow drainage, check the P-trap for blockages. Use a sink plunger or a mild drain cleaner specifically safe for granite composite sinks if necessary. Avoid harsh chemical drain openers.

Clean the sink regularly with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied gently, left for a few minutes, then rinsed thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.

This usually indicates an issue with the sealant. Ensure a continuous, watertight bead of silicone sealant was applied between the sink flange and the countertop during installation. If leakage persists, reapply sealant according to manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the area is dry and clean first.

While highly scratch-resistant, deep scratches can occur from very sharp or heavy objects. For minor surface marks, specialized granite sink repair kits might be available. Prevent future scratches by using cutting boards and avoiding dragging heavy, rough items across the sink's surface.

Check that the mounting clips or fasteners underneath the countertop are properly tightened and secured. If the sink still shifts, additional bracing or re-installation of the clips may be required, ensuring even pressure around the perimeter.
