Fireclay is an industrial-grade ceramic material created by blending natural minerals into a specialized pre-fired clay body. During manufacturing, this heavy duty basin is coated entirely with a thick waterproofing glaze and fired in a kiln at a blistering 2264 degrees Fahrenheit. Think of it like baking a piece of pottery at extreme heat until the outer glaze melts and permanently molecularly bonds with the clay body underneath. This high temperature vitrification process eliminates microscopic pores in the material, resulting in a dense, luminous, and rock-hard surface that naturally turns away stains, acids, and thermal shock.
