Key Features

  • Solid Fireclay Construction: Built from the highest quality fine fireclay material for long-lasting durability and impact resistance.
  • Heat Resistant Surface: Tested and certified to withstand hot pots and pans up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit without cracking.
  • Stain Resistant Glaze: Non-porous glazed finish repels food stains, coffee marks, and acids for effortless cleanup.
  • Generous Single Bowl: Measures 30 inches by 18 inches overall with a 9 1/8 inch depth to accommodate large cookware.
  • Garbage Disposal Compatible: Features a standard 3 1/2 inch center drain opening designed to work with standard garbage disposals.
  • Extra Thin Walls: Combines classic apron styling with modern thin walls to maximize interior washing space.

Installation Guide

  • Construct a sturdy custom support framing using 2x4 lumber or a specialized undermount kit inside your cabinet to safely bear the 77-pound weight of the sink.
  • Verify that the cabinet opening and countertop cutout match the 30-inch length and 18-inch width specifications before final placement.
  • Connect a standard 3 1/2 inch drain assembly and attach your garbage disposal unit securely to the center drain opening.
  • Apply a bead of waterproof silicone sealant around the perimeter where the sink meets the countertop for a clean, watertight finish.

Care & Maintenance

  • Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink surface regularly using a soft sponge or cloth with warm water and mild dish soap.
  • Stain Removal: Use standard non-abrasive household cleaners or baking soda paste for stubborn marks without harming the glaze.
  • Acid Resistance: Rinse away lemon juice, vinegar, or coffee remnants promptly, though the fireclay glaze resists acid absorption naturally.
  • Metal Marks: Remove gray metal utensil marks easily with a mild abrasive cream cleanser formulated for porcelain or fireclay.
  • Preventing Impact Damage: Avoid dropping heavy cast iron skillets directly onto the bottom surface to protect the ceramic integrity over time.
