ABOUT MATERIALS
Petrified wood
Petrified wood is actually fossilised stone! Petrified wood forms when a tree is buried by sediment and protected from decay from oxygen, such as in a bog. Minerals permeate the structure of the wood and slowly (over millions of years) replace the structure of the tree with stone, whilst keeping the features. Indonesian petrified wood is circa 20 million years old. All sinks are unique and petrified wood is incredibly hard.
Our each sink has smooth polished interior and beautiful refined edging. It has own character and hence no two pieces will be exactly alike.
RIVER STONE
River stone is a naturally occurring rock that is found by a body of water such as (you guessed it) a river. These boulders have been rounded out over time by the running water. The most common color is a grayish tan, however some pieces have brown, red or green hues.
Our river stone sinks are entirely handcrafted from natural gneiss boulder. It has authentic charm, mixed with delicate artistic signature. Its fine, practical and multi-functional design allows you to use it in all kinds of home interiors or outdoor. The outside is natural, the inside is satin polished, creating astonishing human skin effect.
Marble
Marbles, which are a gift from nature to people, are widely preferred because they are stylish and robust. Marbles with different colors and patterns can be used safely for many years. The brightness of marbles provides you with a quality appearance in the area where it is laid.
Our each sink is honed and polished to perfection and because the marble is from Mother Nature, each sink will vary slightly in color and veining.
Teak wood
Teak is perfect for the precision work of making sinks because of its unique combination of great durability and stability. In wet environments where the timber must behave predictably, teak is the king. Teak grows in the mixed deciduous forests of South Asia and is not a tropical rain forest tree. It is also found in plantations across the world. All our finely crafted teak sinks use teak from Indonesia that is harvested in an environmentally sustainable way.
This rustic, free-form nature of this vessel gives it an organic and earthy appeal that perfectly suits it for rustic, tropical, or ethnic home decor.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Petrified wood sink
Your petrified wood sink requires a little extra care to preserve its natural beauty. You shoud wipe the surface dry after each use to avoid stains or discoloration.
Cleaning is simple. Just wipe with a soft damp cloth when needed. A liquid anti-bacterial soap can be used when needed. A solution of vinegar and warm water can also be used. Be sure to rinse and wipe off excess moisture.
DO NOT use harsh cleaners (abrasives/caustics) or bleach on your teak and wood sink. They may damage the finish.
Your wood sink has been sealed with an epoxy resin to help resist stains and aging.
RIVER STONE sink
To clean your River stone sink, use a soft cloth, sponge or soapy nylon brush. Be sure to rinse the sink well after cleaning and dry. Cleaning on a regular basis will help prevent the development of hard water deposits. If you develop persistent stains, try a non-abrasive cleaner such as dishwasher soap, Soft Scrub or a professional stone cleaner solution which can be purchased from a local hardware or tile store.
DO NOT use any acidic tub and tile cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, ammonia, abrasive or soft paste cleaners, vinegar, alcohol, window cleaners or lemon juice. In addition DO NOT use abrasive cleaning pads such as steel wool, metal brushes or scouring powders.
marble sink
Marble is easy to clean and maintain.
Regularly clean your marble with a mild dish detergent or cleaner specifically meant for stone or marble.
Polish your marble sink by hand occasionally with a product specifically designed for marble, which can be purchased at any hardware store. Just use a soft cloth or pad, and polish evenly over the entire surface to keep your marble sink looking shiny and new.
DO NOT use acidic products or abrasive cleaners on the marble, such as ammonia, vinegar, alcohol, window cleaners or lemon juice as these can cause permanent etching on the surface and can eat away at the marble.
Teak wood sink
All woods darken over time, so you should expect that the color of your teak sink will change somewhat. Changes in color are actually desirable in natural products, as a patina indicates the surface is solidifying, which enhances the sense of longevity and permanence.
Just like sinks made of any other material, teak wood sinks do need regular maintenance.
Clean your sink with a gentle soap and a soft cloth or bush. DO NOT use any abrasive, whether in the cleaning tool or a cleaning product. To keep your sink looking its finest, we recommend giving it a light coating of teak oil four times per year.
