Materials (edit)
Stylish and practical sinks from the Russian manufacturer Santek are made of high quality ceramics. The manufacturer gave preference to faience. This material is characterized by high porosity, so its water absorption is up to 12%.
Faience has low mechanical strength, so you must try to use the product carefully, excluding the possibility of falling objects or strong impacts.
To give the sinks strength after firing, the manufacturer covers it abundantly with glaze. Ceramic washbasins are made from environmentally friendly raw materials, do not emit harmful substances. The sanitary faience washbasin has a smooth and even surface, evenly glazed.

Water does not pass through the siphon well, therefore, under strong pressure, water accumulates in the sink.
