Rocco Concrete Basin | Teal

CBFD Concrete Basins:

The perfection of imperfection, this is the nature of concrete. Each CBFD concrete basin is unique and one of a kind, with its own character and charm.  Our basins are made from raw and traditional materials, embracing natural variations in colour and finish over time. Like a fine wine, the appeal of concrete grows as it ages. 

Unlike ceramic or metallic alternatives, concrete basins break the monotony of uniformity and develop their own personalities. With a range of colours and finishes, our basins will live and thrive in a variety of spaces for years to come.

CBFD basins combine a mixture of concrete materials such as stone, sand and cement to form an extremely robust product. Further to this, the basin is finished with a water based nano glaze sealant to provide protection against scratching and stains. The sealer also creates a smooth finish to the basin which acts as a repellent, allowing water and other debris to easily flow off the surface.

Care & Maintenance:

Concrete is a hardy material that will last for years if properly maintained. In order to maximise the lifetime of your concrete basin, please follow these tips:

• Use PH neutral cleaners: Use a gentle PH neutral cleaner or warm soapy water to clean your basin. Using alternative cleaners may damage the sealer on your basin and affect warranty.
• Acid is your enemy. Do not use acidic cleaning products. High acidic contents are common in a lot of cleaning products, so take care to seek out their non-acidic counterparts.
• Avoid abrasive and sharp materials. When cleaning or drying the basin be sure not to use anything that could scratch the surface. A soft microfibre cloth or sponge is recommended.
• Clean up spills immediately. While sealer and wax will provide a strong level of protection against staining liquids, it is always best to clean up spills as soon as possible. 
• Keep it dry after use. Minimise the time the basin is full of water. A general rule of thumb is to not keep a basin filled with water for longer than 15 minutes. Drying the basin with a soft fabric after use will further extend its life.
• Protect the sealer with wax. We recommend applying a food safe wax (such as bees wax) every 4-6 months. This will help protect the sealer and keep your basin looking fresh! 
• Avoid the heat! Hot liquids, oils, and materials will damage the surface of the concrete if left to linger. Safely and carefully remove any exposure to these hot liquids or materials if necessary. 
• Use sink protectors and placemats. Reducing exposure to hot or scratching dishes and cups will keep your basin safe from any marks or stains.  
• Keep the basin out of sunlight. Sunlight will gradually erode the surface of concrete. Make sure your concrete basin is in a place where sunlight exposure is limited.
• Keep weight off the basin. Concrete is strong, but to avoid creating cracks in the surface, do not put any heavy objects on or in the basin. Additionally, do not sit, stand, or lean on the concrete.
