Installation Guide
Plan for structural support beneath the sink before installation, as proper under-cabinet framing is required to carry the full weight of the fireclay basin.
Verify that your countertop cutout matches the undermount specifications and allows the countertop edge to overlap the rim cleanly.
Apply a compatible waterproof silicone sealant between the top rim of the sink and the underside of the countertop for a secure, watertight seal.
Connect your 3 1/2 inch drain assembly and plumbing trap carefully, ensuring all gaskets are seated properly to prevent leaks.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the sink basin with warm water and mild dish soap after everyday use to prevent food particle buildup.
Stain Removal Wipe away coffee, tea, and food spills promptly using a soft sponge and standard non-abrasive household cleaners.
Avoiding Harsh Abrasives Refrain from using steel wool or harsh metallic scouring pads that could dull the glossy fireclay glaze over time.
Hot Cookware Care While fireclay handles high heat well, always use a protective silicone mat or dish rack when placing extremely hot pans directly into the basin.
Preventing Impact Damage Avoid dropping heavy cast iron skillets or sharp utensils against the interior walls to maintain the smooth white finish.
