Many of our customers ask the question, why does the sink price vary so much? The price is determined on how it made its route to market. Firstly, the country of origin has a great impact on the initial cost of the sink. A factory located in the United Arab Emirates and England have totally different running costs, these include, factory rent, rates and salaries. All of these are much lower in the United Arab Emirates than in England,  meaning the cost of manufacturing the sink is lower.

The other factor is that the more prestigious the brand, the more advertising has been done to create their brand. All this costs money and time and this in turn gives retailers more trust in the product, where less problems occur.
