Versatile applications
This compact toilet fountain is a real space-saver for any place where you need to quickly wash your hands. The toilet is the most obvious place, of course, but also consider the guest bathroom, where every inch counts. In a small utility room or laundry room, it offers a practical additional washing facility without taking up much space. For offices with limited restroom facilities, the Rakta is a stylish solution. Wall-mounting saves valuable floor space and creates a tidy feel—perfect for any space where functionality and style meet.
Design possibilities
The deep black natural stone combined with the gunmetal Aska faucet creates a bold, industrial look. The dark gray gunmetal finish has a subtle metallic character that contrasts beautifully with the matte black natural stone. The rectangular design with clean lines has an architectural character. This combination fits well in industrial lofts, modern masculine interiors, and rugged urban styles. The gunmetal faucet adds a raw, metallic touch without being too overpowering. This works beautifully in spaces with dark tones, concrete-look tiles, or steel accents. Combine with dark woods, steel, or iron for a consistent industrial look, or mix with warm copper accents for an interesting color contrast. The gunmetal finish is also practical: fingerprints and water splashes are minimally visible on this dark metallic color.
Material benefits
Natural stone is a popular choice for good reason. While plastic can discolor over time and porous materials can retain stains, this black natural stone retains its deep color. Its natural hardness makes it resistant to daily bumps and scratches. Water beads up from the surface, preventing limescale buildup as quickly as with other materials. Moreover, natural stone is naturally antibacterial, contributing to a hygienic environment. The gunmetal Aska faucet is made of high-quality brass with a durable PVD coating that is resistant to corrosion and daily use. The gunmetal finish retains its characteristic dark gray metallic color and will not fade, preserving its industrial character for years to come.

Check wall strength: Ensure a sturdy wall (minimum 100kg load-bearing capacity) and use the supplied plugs for optimal attachment.
-
Optimize tap height: Mount at a height of 85-90cm from the floor for comfortable use.

Creating color harmony: Combine with gunmetal, steel or black accessories such as towel hooks, soap holders and toilet roll holders for an industrial look, or mix with copper accents for some warmth
-
Lighting Plans: Place a wall light or LED strip above the fountain to emphasize the metallic sheen of the gunmetal faucet

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I also use this natural stone fountain in my kitchen?
Yes, the Rakta is also suitable as an additional sink in a utility room or as a convenient dishwashing area in the main kitchen. The natural stone is resistant to kitchen-related liquids, and its compact rectangular design takes up minimal space. The sturdy gunmetal faucet fits well in both industrial and modern kitchens.
How do I best clean black natural stone and a gunmetal faucet?
For natural stone, use only a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and avoid harsh cleaning agents like bleach or vinegar. Clean weekly with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Clean the gunmetal Aska faucet with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap, if desired. Avoid abrasives to preserve the PVD coating.
Is the wall mount strong enough for daily use?
Yes, the included mounting kit is designed for a minimum load capacity of 100 kg. When properly mounted to a sturdy wall, the fountain can easily withstand years of daily use.
Why should I choose the gunmetal Aska tap?
The gunmetal Aska faucet creates a robust, industrial look with the black natural stone. This combination is a great choice for those who appreciate industrial design, masculine interiors, or urban style. The gunmetal accent adds a raw, metallic touch without being too overpowering. Moreover, water droplets and fingerprints are less visible on the dark gunmetal finish, and the high-quality PVD coating ensures the color won't fade.
Does this fountain fit in a toilet that is 80cm wide?
Yes, with a width of only 37cm, the Rakta leaves ample room to move in narrow restrooms. Wall mounting also saves valuable floor space.
Can I combine the gunmetal tap with other finishes?
Yes, gunmetal is versatile. For a consistent industrial look, combine the gunmetal faucet with other steel, gunmetal, or black accessories. For a touch of warmth, mix it with copper or brass accents. Gunmetal also pairs beautifully with dark wood and concrete-look tiles, and can contrast with light elements for added depth.
Does the gunmetal finish fade over time?
No, the high-quality PVD coating of the Aska collection is designed to resist fading. With normal use and proper maintenance (cleaning with mild soap and water), the faucet will retain its characteristic gunmetal color for years.
Please note: Each piece of natural stone is unique and may exhibit natural variations in color, texture, and veining. These characteristics make your fountain unique and do not affect the quality or durability of the product.
