Frequently Asked Questions
Why 4 to 6 weeks?
Each piece is handcrafted to order in our Canadian workshop. Select models may be available from existing stock — contact us to check current availability and potentially reduce lead time.
Is the lifetime warranty truly unlimited?

Can I customize the colour or dimensions?
Absolutely. Our 8 exclusive natural pigments are available, and we can create custom shades, colorations, and dimensions for your project. Contact us for a complimentary consultation.
What makes ultra translucent glass special?
Ultra translucent glass allows maximum light transmission, creating a luminous, almost ethereal quality. Light passes through the countertop and pedestal, casting beautiful reflections throughout the bathroom. It is a signature VERRE Gallery technique developed over 25 years.
Is glass fragile at 18mm?
No. Cast at 18mm thick and fully thermal shock resistant, The Célestine is extremely robust — which is precisely why we back it with a lifetime warranty against thermal shock.
Is installation complex?
Professional installation is strongly recommended. The cylindrical pedestal requires proper floor anchoring and plumbing preparation. Our team provides detailed specifications and can refer you to qualified installers in your region.
How do I care for my basin?
Maintenance is effortless. The non-porous surface requires only mild soap and water. Our mineral pigments are permanent and will never fade. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the polished finish and the luminous quality of the glass.
