Marble basins are made of a mineral powder, polyester and binder. The basins are cast in closed moulds and surface-treated with a clear gel-coat. Marble is often straighter in its lines than porcelain, but requires more maintenance.
Porcelain consists of real sanitary porcelain, which is a strong ceramic material with glaze. When the basin is fired at 1,220 degrees, the glaze melts to form a hard, smooth and shiny surface that is easy to keep clean. As a result of the firing, the porcelain may have variations in its surface and there are allowable tolerance measurements for the porcelain. These tolerance measurements are listed in the price lists in our catalogues.
