Are Bramstone basins made from natural materials? Yes, Bramstone basins are handcrafted using a proprietary formula that includes natural mineral materials.

What is the difference between Single-Coloured Basin Samples and Custom Basin Multi-Colour Samples?
-
Single-Coloured Basin Samples: These samples provide an authentic look at a single colour. They're a great choice if you're considering one of our basins in a solid colour.
-
Custom Basin Multi-Colour Samples: These samples are perfect for those looking to explore more complex designs like marbling, terrazzo, or layered swirling. Each sample features a blend of light and dark shades, illustrating the range of customisation we offer.
Bramstone developed a unique and proprietary process to ensure that our single-colour basins are not just strikingly beautiful but also highly durable and uniform in colour. Here's how it works:
- Casting in Colour: We begin by casting the basin in your chosen colour. This sets the foundational hue for the entire basin.
- Curing Process: Once the casting is complete, the basin goes through a curing process to prepare it for sealing.
- Advanced Sealing: Next, we apply an intensive sealing process. This isn't your regular sealer; we've innovated a way to infuse additional pigment into the sealer itself. This ensures complete colour coverage that's consistent throughout the basin.
- Durability and Resistance: Our specialised sealer isn't just for looks—it's incredibly hard, resistant to chemicals, UV and colour stable. It's also impervious to water penetration, ensuring your basin stays as functional as it is beautiful.

How long does it take to receive a customised Bramstone basin?
