Installation Guide
Confirm your custom cabinet or apron-front cabinet dimensions before starting installation to ensure a proper fit for the 29.75-inch exterior width.
Note that due to the heavy 109-pound weight of the fireclay material, adequate structural support framing must be built inside the cabinet base.
Account for nominal dimensional variations of up to half an inch when dry-fitting the sink into your countertop and cabinetry template.
Use a standard 3.5-inch drain opening assembly, keeping in mind that an extended flange or ferrule may be necessary to accommodate the thick fireclay walls.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the glazed surface down with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth and warm soapy water after each use.
Stain Prevention Rinse the bowl thoroughly after draining dark liquids like coffee or red wine to maintain the pristine finish.
Cleanser Selection Avoid harsh scouring powders or steel wool pads; instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or non-abrasive ceramic cleaners.
Metal Marks Remove occasional grey metal transfer marks from pots using a specialized ceramic cleaner and a non-scratch pad.
Underside Care Keep the unglazed underside dry during routine maintenance, keeping in mind that any minor cosmetic surface crazing is entirely normal.
