With the help of one of our partners, who previously purchased a whole container of river stone washbasins from the “producer” without experience, we managed to prepare documentation using photographs to demonstrate several errors in the production of stone washbasins that make it impossible to connect such washbasins in a bathroom.

Defect number 1:
The drainage holes in the washbasins were drilled crookedly, likely done manually. As a result, the recess for the drain plug is 2 mm on the right side and 8 mm on the left side. The drain plug will not be level, meaning the pipe under the washbasin cannot be connected. Additionally, a push-down/pop-up type plug will not be able to function. This defect alone renders the washbasin unsuitable for use. Furthermore, water will not be able to drain completely, and there will always be some remaining in the lowest point of the drain hole.

Defect number 2:
The drain hole is too wide. The diameter of the drain hole is approximately 0.5 cm wider than standard drain plugs. This causes any dirt, which cannot be cleaned, to accumulate around the drain plug. Additionally, there is a real risk of water seeping under the plug and leaking under the countertop instead of flowing into the drain pipe. This disqualifies such washbasins.

Defect number 3:
The drain hole is not polished. This will cause the washbasins to absorb moisture and water in that area, potentially increasing the weight of the washbasin by up to 3 times. While this doesn’t completely disqualify the washbasins, it poses a real risk for suspended cabinets on which such washbasins will be placed.

In summary:
Attempts to install washbasins that, at first glance, appear to be properly made can expose the bathroom owner to significant problems, not only in terms of usage and everyday comfort when using such washbasins, but above all, pose a risk in case of water leakage or an increase in the weight of the washbasin.

Lux4home makes every effort to ensure that each stone washbasin meets the following quality standards for a good reason:

Uniformly drilled drainage hole: Each washbasin has a precisely drilled drainage hole of the same depth. This ensures proper functionality and compatibility with standard drain systems.

Polished surfaces in contact with water: Every part of the washbasin that comes into contact with flowing water is meticulously polished to prevent water absorption. This helps maintain the integrity and durability of the washbasin over time.

Diameter matching country standards: The diameter of the drainage outlet is specifically tailored to meet the standards of the country in which the washbasin is intended for use. This ensures seamless integration with local plumbing systems.

Level base for proper water flow: The washbasin’s base is perfectly leveled to facilitate the smooth flow of water. This allows for efficient drainage and prevents water from pooling or stagnating in the basin.

Polishing instead of waxing: Lux4home prioritizes the use of polishing techniques over waxing. This ensures a long-lasting, lustrous finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the washbasins.

That is why our stone sinks – stone washbasins significantly differ from others, and our partners are well aware of this distinction.

We have produced a very large countertop washbasin (petrified wood stone sink), which is 37 cm high and 65 cm wide. The uniqueness of this washbasin lies in the fact that it is made of an exceptionally rare material, which is petrified wood (a real tree trunk that transforms into stone for millions of years below the earth’s surface, without access to oxygen) and that its size is equally impressive for a countertop washbasin.

It has been installed in an awe-inspiring, atmospheric bathroom where it harmonizes with the natural colors of green, black and twilight. No unnecessary elements. The interior somehow forces you to calm down, relax and refers to nature. Minimalism at its finest form. A piece of art exhibited between the corners of the bathroom

Petrified Wood Stone Sink

From the same material, we are able to make a stone bathtub (although it is more and more difficult to find it), or a bathtub made of petrified wood. These very unique and unrepeatable items cost much more than river stone or marble bathtubs, but they are also of a completely different value – we estimate that in a few years this material will be completely unavailable, because it is more and more difficult to find.

Nobody’s perfect.. Well, maybe except for Lux4home™ natural 

which are always looking naturally. In case there is a river boulder that looks a bit odd, we don’t try too hard to make it look like a perfect rock sink. We just move forward to another one. Ruthless, one may say.. but we keep the “special” rocks for special occasions. Everyone is given a chance at our factory, but we stick closely to standards that work for particular groups of clients.

This point comes from frequent feedback from bathroom designers and architects. “Guys! We are extremely worried about the drain hole. What if we are unable to install your bathtub?”. Don’t worry, we got you covered. Our rock bathtubs and rock sinks are delivered to Europe, Middle East, Asia, USA and Australia. That includes the Petrified Wood Stone Sink. Each of these regions have different drainage standards. That is why the last thing we do on either a natural stone sink or stone bath is drilling the proper drain hole which would work for a local standard. Our freestanding stone tubs are installed just as any other bathtubs.

We have been operating on the market for many years, gaining invaluable experience that allowed us to get us where we are today. We guarantee our clients that they will receive products that are 100% compatible with their personal vision. The Lux4home team are passionate people who are always ready to help and bring their ideas to make this experience unmatched, and create modern stone sinks and bathtubs that will last for years.

The production of Petrified Wood Stone Sink is based in Indonesia, on Java island where the rocks are diverse and the sun is shining all over the territory. Owing to intense volcanic activity in the area called the Circle of Fire, Indonesia offers many solid and beautiful rocks and boulders. You will not find the same quality of stone anywhere else.

Have you ever considered the impact of the bathroom remodelling on the environment? All the debris might appear insignificant, however, if you multiply it by millions of remodels every year it may add up to a terrifying number. Now, imagine working with stone bathtubs or stone sinks.

Not only sinks but stone bathtubs make interiors shine!

We have no doubts that people who own our sinks are generally happier people. We know that directly from them. Those happy customers invite nature to their interiors and they don’t look back, really. It does not matter whether the water enters the rock or leaves it, together they fit like a glove!

Apart from personal preferences, it is also known that natural stone sinks are more eco-friendly than common ceramic sinks. Nature will be happy to accept the natural stone back, but it will not be happy to receive a ceramic sink that is hard to recycle. We are proud to contribute to the popularity of those sinks, as each year we handle dozens of individual interior design projects where natural river rock tubs and sinks are desired by architects and final users.

This might seem insignificant, but it is not, really. Small details like these are important in the age of climate challenges and the strategy of balanced development. What also contributes to the eco-friendliness of natural stone is its durability. The reason why there is no need to replace it anytime soon is its robustness. This results in less consumption in the years to come which you may use, for example, to invest in solar panels.

Solid River Stone Pedestal Basins are produced by us from a single river rock boulder – just like our stone bathtubs Flumen, a classic rock tub. The outside is left untouched, while the inside is meticulously polished to provide a wonderful user’s experience.

Do these freestanding natural stone sinks have any flaw? Some of them certainly do, but if they happen to be unaesthetic it is the duty of our team and Quality Control personel to reject such a sink and give it back to the nature. Our brand relies on only the best quality natural stone items which, believe it or not, is a very rare procedure! Lux4home™ was once called a very efficient filter that only delivers stone sinks and bathtubs that are first quality.
