Few materials can compete with natural stone. Natural stone is versatile: you can use it in the bathroom in many different ways, in many colours, sizes and shapes. It is often used on the floor, but you can also choose a combination of floor and wall tiles or, for example, a stone bathroom washbasin.

Natural stone is one of the most beautiful and strongest materials used in both construction and interior design. So natural stone is more and more popular for indoor washbasins too, as it is a durable and attractive material that is easy to maintain and brings natural beauty and an elegant touch to the room or setting where it is placed.

Natural stone bathrooms

The bathroom is a room that is gaining in importance, as we spend quite a lot of time there. It is not just a place to shower and brush your teeth. For many people it is a corner for peace, relaxation and getting ready for the day. So we need to choose the right materials for the bathroom, and natural stone is certainly one of the most suitable.

A bathroom with natural stone elements is refined and attractive and gives you the feeling of being in touch with nature. Natural stone in the bathroom offers many advantages. Beyond its looks, which create a pleasant feeling and raise the value of your home, it is durable, versatile, resistant to moisture and easy to maintain.

On top of that, the texture of natural stone creates a non-slip surface, which is very important when you choose a material for a bathroom floor.

Important steps when choosing a bathroom washbasin

Choosing the stone – Different natural stones have different properties, patterns, colours and hardness, so choose a stone that suits your taste and lifestyle.

Shape and size – Think carefully about the shape and size of the bathroom washbasin you want, as it is important that it suits your bathroom as closely as possible. You can choose a round, oval or rectangular washbasin.

Made to measure – If you choose a made-to-measure stone bathroom washbasin, you need to visit a supplier natural stone, where you and the specialists will settle the details, such as depth, width, height and any special requirements for extras you want to add.

Fitting and maintenance – Once the bathroom washbasin is made and assembled, it is essential to install it correctly and maintain it regularly. Follow the cleaning and care instructions for the stone, as this keeps it beautiful and durable.

Some types of stone used for stone washbasins

Granite washbasins
Granite is very hard-wearing, resistant and durable, and it needs little maintenance and is easy to clean. That is why it is one of the most common natural stones for stone washbasins.

Marble bathroom washbasin
Marble is a natural stone that allows endless combinations, so a marble washbasin adds elegance, refinement and a timeless quality to the room it is in. It needs a little more care than granite, but if you protect it properly with sealants, it will grace the room for decades. A marble washbasin certainly creates a special atmosphere with a touch of glamour.

Travertine bathroom washbasin
This stone has distinctive pores and a texture that gives it a fully rustic look. It comes in many shades of beige and brown. As it is a porous material, you need to be very careful with strong cleaning products on travertine washbasins.

Whatever bathroom washbasin you choose, it will be a durable and elegant addition to your home. It is a high-quality solution that will serve its purpose for many years and bring charm and refinement to every corner of your home.
