ClaireSilver Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I'm thinking about making a slab sink/basin for the cloakroom/small wc, rectangle shape so would need sides joining etc. Size to be something like 35cm x 23cm x 14cm. Would this size be suitable for slab building? I think commercial sinks/basins would normally be slip cast. what thickness would the slabs need to be? I've only built on a smaller scale. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hi Claire and welcome to the forum! Yes you could use slabs for a sink that size. 4 - 6 mm thick slabs should be fine. I would miter the corners so there is more surface area for the joins. I know there are many broad firing range clays used in the UK, I would suggest using one that you can fire to the top temperature to get a strong mature body.
