Installation Guide
Because fireclay sinks can feature a plus or minus 2 percent manufacturing variance in dimensions, always wait until your physical sink is delivered before cutting your cabinet.
Ensure your supporting cabinet structure features a minimum width of 28 inches and is reinforced properly to safely bear the 90-pound weight of the fireclay basin.
Plan for a custom apron-front cutout that accommodates either your preferred decorative arched edge or the smooth flat side during installation.
Apply a bead of mildew-resistant silicone sealant around the perimeter where the sink meets the countertop to prevent moisture seepage.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the glazed surface down with a soft cloth or sponge using mild dish soap and warm water after each use.
Stain Removal Use a mixture of baking soda and water or a non-abrasive cream cleanser to lift stubborn food or drink marks without scratching the glaze.
Grid Maintenance Periodically remove and clean the included bottom sink grid and its plastic bumpers to prevent debris buildup underneath.
Mineral Deposit Care Combat hard water spots by applying a 50-50 solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Harsh Chemical Avoidance Never use harsh steel wool, wire brushes, or abrasive scouring powders that could dull the glossy fireclay finish over time.
