Robust and rustic, yet refined and environmentally friendly. Natural stone simply has many charms, as it gives our homes a touch of timelessness and elegance. It is certainly one of the most beautiful and strongest materials used in both construction and interior design. Garden washbasins made of natural stone are therefore completely timeless.

So natural stone is more and more popular for garden 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 space or setting where it is placed.

Garden washbasin

Garden washbasin is designed for outdoor use: on terraces, in the garden or courtyard, or simply as part of an outdoor kitchen. It can have a simpler or a more complex shape, and either way its beauty sets off the surroundings it stands in.

In most cases, it is larger and more robust than an indoor stone washbasin. Because it is exposed to the weather, it is made from more hard-wearing types of natural stone that cope with all kinds of weather conditions.

A garden washbasin can be wall-mounted or free-standing. It is ideal for use when cleaning up outside, gardening or preparing food outdoors. Because it is exposed to all kinds of weather, it needs extra protection and sealing.

Types of garden washbasins

Granite garden washbasins: Thanks to their strength and durability they are very popular outdoors, and they come in a wide range of colours, from grey and black to red and pink shades.

Marble garden washbasins: They are a little softer than granite basins and need a little more maintenance, but their elegant appearance gives a truly luxurious look.

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

Some advantages of garden washbasins

  • Thanks to the material they are made of, garden washbasins are very resistant to scratches, knocks and stains. Stone garden washbasins can take years of use without showing signs of wear.  
  • They are very easy to clean and maintain. Usually it is enough to wipe them down and clean them with water and a mild cleaner.
