Installation Guide

  • Ensure your cabinetry is structurally prepared, as solid fireclay sinks are heavy and require sturdy support from beneath.
  • Use an undermount installation kit or custom support framing constructed from 2x4 lumber to bear the weight of the sink safely.
  • Verify precise measurements for your cabinet cutouts and countertop overhang before securing the apron-front basin in place.
  • Connect your standard 3.5-inch center drain assembly and compatible garbage disposal unit using plumbers putty or appropriate silicone sealant.

Care & Maintenance

  • Daily Cleaning Wipe the sink surface down with a soft sponge and mild dish soap after each use to maintain its glossy shine.
  • Stain Removal For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a gentle mixture of baking soda and water.
  • Prevent Harsh Chemicals Avoid using steel wool, wire brushes, or harsh chemical bleach scrubs that could dull the glazed finish over time.
  • Rinse After Prep Rinse away acidic foods such as citrus juice or vinegar promptly to protect the integrity of the glaze.
  • Protect the Surface Consider using a protective silicone mat or bottom grid to prevent scuffs from heavy metal cookware.
