Washbasins – Types, materials and maintenance
A sink is an essential part of any bathroom. It's not only functional but also significantly impacts the overall look and feel of the space. Whether you choose a sleek, modern design or a classic model with a warm feel, The right choice of washbasins really makes a difference to the appearance of your bathroom.
At SaniSupreme you will find an extensive collection of washbasins in different styles, materials and sizes.
Types of washbasins
There are many different types of washbasins, each with their own advantages.
A countertop washbasin sits atop the cabinet, creating a modern look. A built-in washbasin is integrated into the countertop, creating a perfectly flush surface. This creates a sleek and timeless look.
Those who love minimalism often choose an undercounter sink, where the edge disappears completely beneath the countertop. A freestanding sink, on the other hand, is ideal for those who want a real eye-catcher in their bathroom. For compact bathrooms, a corner sink is a smart, space-saving solution.
We also offer double sinks that offer extra convenience and hand basins that fit perfectly in restrooms. So there's always a model to suit your style and available space.
Materials and finishing
The material determines not only the appearance of the sink, but also its maintenance and lifespan. Popular choices include:
• Ceramic or porcelain – strong, durable and easy to keep clean
• Solid Surface or composite – seamless, moisture-resistant and modern in appearance
• Natural stone or wood – characterful and warm, but requires a little more maintenance
Those looking for something unique can also opt for glass or stainless steel.
At SaniSupreme you will find all these materials, carefully selected for quality, durability and design.
Making the right choice
Several factors play a role in choosing a sink, such as the bathroom's dimensions, desired style, and ease of use.
In a small space, a compact washbasin or corner model often fits better, while a double washbasin offers more comfort for families or couples.
The style and finish are just as important. Choose a color and texture that complements the interior, such as matte white, concrete look, marble pattern, or glossy ceramic. The faucet also deserves attention: a tall faucet complements a basin, while a built-in faucet creates a sleek look.
Maintenance and care
You use a sink every day, so regular maintenance is important.
Clean the surface with a mild detergent and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasives that can scratch. Use white vinegar to remove limescale and dry the sink after use for a lasting shine.
Helpful maintenance tips:
• Treat wooden and natural stone washbasins regularly with oil or impregnating agent
• Place a sieve in the drain to prevent blockages
• Remove spilled products such as hair dye or cosmetics immediately
With these simple steps your sink will remain beautiful and functional for years to come.
