A natural stone garden washbasin has a lot of charm and gives our homes a timeless touch. It brings warmth and a homely feel, which is why it is so popular both inside and outside the home.

Natural stone is also more and more popular for making garden washbasins, because it is a long-lasting, attractive material that is easy to maintain and brings natural beauty and an elegant touch to its surroundings.

Garden washbasin

It is made for outdoor use: in the garden, on terraces, in courtyards or as part of an outdoor kitchen. A garden washbasin usually has a simpler shape and sets off its surroundings with its beauty.

It is also usually larger and sturdier than an indoor basin and, because it is exposed to the weather, made from more hard-wearing types of natural stone.

Garden washbasins can be free-standing or wall-mounted and are ideal for cleaning up outside, gardening and preparing food outdoors. Unlike indoor stone washbasins, garden washbasins are given extra protection and sealed because of outside conditions.

Types of garden washbasins

Garden washbasin – granite: These washbasins are very popular outdoors, mainly because they are strong and durable. They also come in a wide range of colours, from grey and black to red and pink shades.

Garden washbasin – marble: They are a little softer than granite washbasins and need a good deal more maintenance, but their elegant look gives a truly refined result.

Garden washbasin – travertine: This natural stone has distinctive pores and texture that give it a truly rustic look. The surface of travertine has an antique look and brings warmth to a home. Another advantage is that it is very resistant to differences in temperature, which means it copes with all weather conditions. It comes in many beige and brown shades. Because it is a very porous material, you need to be very careful with strong cleaning products on travertine washbasins.

When you buy an outdoor stone washbasin , it is important to consider its quality, thickness, surface finish and installation, so that it works well and you are happy with it for a long time. When you choose the stone for an outdoor washbasin, think above all about where it will stand and how much maintenance you can give it.
