Washbasins and sinks
Currently, a very relevant trend is to install washbasins and sinks made of natural or artificial stone: marble, granite, quartzite, anglomerated stone or quartz.
AKMI can implement various types of one-off or mass-produced orders from various solid materials. We produce free-standing kitchen sinks and bathroom vanities or we glue them into the countertop to create a seamless design.
Single and batch orders
We can carry out both individual orders and larger projects. We produce limited edition products according to production drawings. We carry out serial production for hotels, cruise ships, offices, etc. You can order products for branded stores.
Bathroom sinks
Bathroom sinks made of natural stone
A natural stone washbasin looks great as a unique element in your bathroom. You can also install the bathtub together with stone floor, wall and countertop decoration and create a truly special and seamless bathroom design.
Natural stone is a unique and luxurious material that fascinates with its form possibilities, so non-standard stone washbasins are also possible.
What natural stone should I choose for washbasins?
When choosing a sink or washbasin, you want the surface to withstand everyday challenges: dirt, soap scum and limescale, and their cleaners.
Granite and quartz sinks are more resistant than marble, so we recommend choosing them.
If, however, you are drawn to marble washbasins, it is important to perform a special treatment using UV technology. The stone washbasin treated in this way becomes more resistant to acids, so you can enjoy easier maintenance.
Advantages of natural stone washbasins
WASHBASINS WITH ROUNDED CORNERS
Rounded corners in the sink are much more convenient than straight joints, as they do not accumulate sediment and dirt residues - they are easy to clean.
UNIQUE STONE SLAB SINK
Each natural stone slab is a unique and inimitable creation of nature's power in terms of color, structure and veins. This natural diversity is combined with a variety of surface finishes, making such a sink a one-of-a-kind in your home.
NATURAL MATERIALS WITHOUT CHEMISTRY
Stone is naturally extracted from nature, compared to artificial stone washbasins, the production process of which requires significant energy consumption to collect various raw materials, resins, and chemicals.
NON-STANDARD WASHBASINS AND BATHROOM DESIGNS AVAILABLE
Natural stone is formless and completely customizable. Since it is not a mass-produced, standardized product, it can be supplied in almost any size, thickness and shape. This amazing advantage is even more pronounced when stone is combined with metal, wood and glass. This way you can create a unique bathroom design by combining different materials.
UNRIVALED DURABILITY
With proper care, natural stone looks almost like new even after many years of use. If you are looking to furnish your bathroom with quality and focus on durability, then do not hesitate to choose natural stone for your washbasin or even the entire bathroom decoration.
SUSTAINABILITY AND LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Thanks to modern technology, the extraction and processing of natural stone is becoming increasingly sustainable. All processing waste is reused, for example for landscaping and gardening. Various scientific studies show that the global warming potential (GWP) of a natural stone countertop is approximately 74 % lower than that of ceramic.
Artificial stone washbasins
When you're looking to maintain the integrity of spaces in minimalist and modern interiors, artificial stone sinks are perfect.
We recommend choosing specialized materials - Silestone, Dekton, Lapitec, Caesarstone - instead of standard tiles, which are not suitable for the production of washbasins and countertops.
Washbasins made of these artificial materials are easy to maintain and extremely resistant to daily use. They will delight you for many years.
Manufacturers of agglomerated stone sinks are constantly updating their color palettes in response to the latest interior trends, so you can easily match the color to other interior decoration elements - floors, walls, or countertops.
Artificial stone bathroom sink
Artificial stone types are divided into two types: fullbody, when the artificial stone pattern, like natural stone, extends throughout the entire thickness of the slab, and laminated (print), when the surface of the artificial stone is covered with a special stone decor.
Solid types of artificial stone: Silestone, Caesarstone, Lapitec
On the bottom surface of the washbasin, we can use CNC equipment to model a slope towards the drain and produce a valve trim from the same stone (see example). These types are suitable for forming rounded corners of washbasins.
Advantages of artificial stone washbasins
LOW ABSORBENCY AND HYGIENE
Artificial stone for the production of washbasins has an extremely high density and low porosity. Therefore, it is water resistant and does not absorb bacteria and dirt. This helps to ensure better hygiene and easier maintenance, as it does not require special tools or strong chemicals.
RESISTANCE
Low porosity makes the product resistant to stains, grease, scratches and other everyday damage. It retains its original appearance for a long time and does not require frequent repairs.
AESTHETICS AND COLOR VARIETY
Artificial stone washbasins create an elegant and modern look in your bathroom. The washbasins' smooth surface, clean lines and various color options allow you to adapt the washbasin to any interior style.
FLEXIBILITY
An artificial stone washbasin can be made to individual dimensions and design preferences. This allows you to adapt the washbasin to the size, style and functionality needs of your bathroom. It is also possible to match the countertops (link?) and create a unique bathroom interior.
Kitchen sinks
Kitchen sinks made of natural stone
We manufacture kitchen sinks from natural stone according to individual orders. Natural stone products provide unique aesthetics and practicality to your kitchen.
The most suitable stone types for kitchen sinks are fine-grained granites and coarse-grained quartzites. For easier maintenance, we recommend choosing sinks with rounded corners. This is a more expensive option, but the easy maintenance is worth the investment.
Due to increased risk factors in the kitchen: such as temperature differences, varying porosity of stone, and many others - we highly recommend consulting when choosing the type of natural stone, sink shape, installation features, and countertop.

It is not uncommon to choose to make a kitchen sink from the same natural stone as the kitchen countertop to create an impressive, seamless look. Stone craftsmen sand the sink that is glued under the countertop during production, so there are no gaps where dirt can accumulate.
Artificial stone kitchen sinks
Artificial stone sinks are usually made from specially formulated stone mixtures that contain various components, such as stone particles, resin for adhesion, and pigments for color. Artificial stone is extremely durable, scratch and stain resistant, and its surface is smooth and hygienic. Such materials are certified and suitable for contact with food.
