Frequently asked questions about the Sinks category
Sinks — what are they and what uses do the SityPro.com sinks serve?
Sinks — are ceramic, composite or stainless-steel basins designed for washing and as design elements. Our range includes wall-hung, countertop and furniture-integrated sinks in sizes like 40x22, 60x46 and 70–80 cm suitable for bathrooms, guest WC, kitchens and public spaces.
What’s the difference between countertop, furniture and inset sinks?
Countertop (vessel) sinks sit on top of the worktop and are easy to fit; furniture (basin with vanity) sinks are integrated with a cabinet and have pre-cut holes for a tap and waste; inset sinks are dropped into the countertop for a flush, neat look.
Which sink sizes are best for a bathroom vs a small guest WC?
Bathrooms commonly use 55–80 cm wide sinks (e.g. 70–80 cm Duravit or Ravak) for comfort; small guest WCs suit compact 40–50 cm models such as D-NEO 40x22 cm or 45x34 cm.
Are sinks made of gres/porcelain-granite suitable for kitchens and how do they differ from ceramic?
Gres/granite composite sinks are highly durable, scratch- and stain-resistant, making them suitable for kitchens. Compared with standard ceramic sinks they better withstand mechanical stress and thermal shocks while keeping a matte or glossy finish.
Which sinks work with a vanity unit and what to check when choosing?
Choose furniture-integrated or inset sinks sized to the vanity width (commonly 60, 70, 80 cm) and check tap and waste hole positions. Also verify bowl depth and that the trap/fittings can be concealed inside the cabinet.
Do you offer kauri-style/kauri-shaped sinks and what interiors suit them?
We list round and organic-shaped models resembling kauri style, such as countertop round and oval sinks. They work well as accent pieces in modern or eco-styled bathrooms.
Which shapes and materials are best for heavy-use kitchen sinks?
Choose deep bowls in stainless steel or gres/granite composite that resist impacts and stains. Large-radius inner corners and a deep basin make washing dishes easier and reduce splashing.
What are cylinder sinks and where are they used?
Cylinder sinks are round basins with a cylindrical base or form, often countertop or freestanding. They’re used in modern bathrooms and public areas as a minimalist design accent and where cabinetry is limited.
How to choose between Duravit, Ravak, Jika models — what differ in sizes and shapes?
Duravit often offers slim designer ranges (e.g. D-NEO 40x22, D-CODE 60x46, STARCK 70–80 cm) with multiple mounting options; Ravak and Jika provide more traditional and compact solutions (e.g. Uni 400, Lyra 50x23 cm). Compare overall dimensions, tap/waste hole positions and bowl depth.
Can sinks be installed without a vanity in small bathrooms — which models suit this?
Yes — wall-hung or countertop compact sinks 40–50 cm wide (e.g. D-NEO 40x22 cm, Compactino 60x50 cm slim) are suitable for small bathrooms. Choose models with practical waste placement to maximise space.
