  Technical Details      
   
  Will the pattern ever fade or wear away?   Our designs are kiln-fired to temperatures in excess of 1500° Fahrenheit. The design is permanent and is on for the life of the fixture, it will not fade wear off or fade away with proper care.  
         
  Are your sinks hand-painted?   We use a combination of ceramic decals with some hand-painted embellishment. Ceramic decals are made from finely ground glass and are more durable than hand-painted pigments. They are the same kind of decals used on mugs, plates and china. Our fixtures are kiln-fired to temperatures in excess of 1500° Fahrenheit. which fuses the design permanently with the existing glaze on the sink.  
         
  What kind of fixtures do you use?   We use only first quality vitreous china sinks and toilets. Vitreous china is a hard, non-porous surface with a glossy finish that is impervious to water absorption, most sinks and toilets are made of it. Vitreous China is fired longer and at a high temperature than regular ceramic or fireclay fixtures. This makes them more durable and less likely to crack or chip over time.  
         
  Do your fixtures require any special care?   Keeping your fixtures clean and dry will keep them looking new for many years. We recommend regular cleaning with a soft cloth (not paper towel) and ammonia-free dishwashing liquid or non-abrasive spar or foam bathroom cleaners. Fixtures should not be cleaned with harsh chemicals, bleach or abrasives as this will damage the glaze over time. If your fixture has gold on it, use only ammonia dishwashing liquid and take extra care.  
  Fixture Information      
   
  What if I want a specific manufacturer's model of sink or a different style of sink than is shown?   If you don't see the kind of fixture you are looking for on the Fixture Info page of our web site, e-mail us the manufacturer make & model and the design you are interested in and we will send you a price and your options for decorating. Most of our designs can be adapted to many styles of fixture but can be subject to an additional charge.  
         
  How do I know what faucet center size to order?   Most pedestal and drop-in sinks come with a choice of 4", 8" or single hole faucet centers. To determine what size you require, measure the distance between the two outer faucet holes, do not include the center hole in your calculations. Most 4" faucets are one piece, the 8" sets are 3 separate pieces.  
         
  Can I order a toilet to match my sink?   We can create matching toilets to co-ordinate with most of our designs. We can decorate on unlined tanks and lids of most 2 pc. toilets and some round bowls (not elongated). We can assist you in ordering the base from one of our suppliers or your local home store. Smaller one piece toilets are a possibility, contact us for details.  
         
  What additional pieces are available?   Toilets, and a full line of accessories, including tiles, towel bars, soap dishes, toilet tissue dispensers, waste baskets etc. are available for every pattern. See our Accessories Page for more info.  
         
  Can you decorate on the sink from a vanity unit?   We recommend purchasing a slightly larger basin and cutting a new hole in the top of the vanity. This is less expensive, easier and provides optimum results.  
         
  Can a used or vintage fixture be decorated?   Used or antique fixtures cannot be decorated.  
 
  Design Details      
   
  Can the design be modified or put on a different kind of sink or toilet?   Yes, most designs can be modified with more or less of the design or adapted to fit on a different sink. Contact us for details. Can be subject to an additional charge.  
         
  Will the sink I order be exactly the same as the photo?   All of our sinks are made by hand and some variation in design is possible, especially if you are using a different fixture.  
         
  Are the colors on the web site an exact match?   Due to the differences in monitors, the colors on our web site are not completely accurate. Please order a sample tile if you would like an exact match before proceeding.
