Calacatta Viola Marble Wall Mount Bathroom Sink With Backsplash

Calacatta Viola with a built-in backsplash

This wall-mount sink is carved from Calacatta Viola marble quarried in Turkey. The stone has a creamy white ground with gray and deep purple to burgundy veining, and each piece is carved individually, so no two are alike. The basin measures 30 inches long, 16 inches wide and 8 inches high, and a 10 inch backsplash rises from the back edge to protect the wall behind it.

Purple veins and a raised back

Calacatta Viola is known for its colour: violet and burgundy veins running through white and gray. The surfaces are polished inside and out, which deepens those colours and leaves smooth faces with no hidden corners or crevices. The integrated backsplash is carved as part of the sink, giving the piece an architectural outline and keeping water off the wall. Moderate colour variation is normal, and the balance of white, gray and purple will differ from sink to sink.

• Integrated backsplash A 10 inch back carved with the sink, protecting the wall from splashes.
• Polished Calacatta Viola White and gray marble with purple and burgundy veining, polished inside and out.

A floating sink with room to work

At 30 by 16 inches, the sink gives generous surface area without crowding a smaller bathroom or powder room. Wall-mounted, it floats above an open floor. It can also sit on a vanity as an above-vanity sink when storage is needed below. A 1 inch bracket space beneath the sink allows secure wall mounting. Three pre-drilled faucet holes accommodate widespread or single-handle faucets, and the standard 1.77 inch drain opening connects to conventional plumbing.

• Size 30" L × 16" W × 8" H, with a 10" backsplash.
• Faucet and drain Three pre-drilled faucet holes and a 1.77" drain opening.

Plan the wall before it arrives

Solid marble is heavy, so the wall needs blocking between the studs at the mounting height before the sink is hung. The sink then rests on brackets in the bracket space underneath. On a vanity, the top must be flat, level and strong, and the sink is set in silicone. Because the faucet holes are pre-drilled, choose the faucet type first and run the supply lines to match. A professional installer is recommended.

Why we chose it

• Carved in one piece Basin and backsplash are carved together from a single block of marble.
• Character with age Polished marble develops a light patina over the years and lasts for decades with care.
• Made to order Each sink is made to order, with custom sizes and finishes on request.

Custom sizes

This sink is made to order on two production schedules, both in the 30 by 16 inch size with a polished finish. The 3 to 4 week option ships sooner, while the 8 to 14 week option is the lower-priced choice. It can also be made in a custom size or finish. To start a custom order, contact us with the measurements of the wall.

Care

Calacatta Viola is a porous calcite marble, so acids such as lemon juice, vinegar and wine can etch it even when sealed. Periodic resealing protects it, and how often depends on use, typically every six to twelve months.
