Installation Guide
Ensure your custom apron-front cabinet is correctly measured and structurally reinforced to support the 109-pound weight of the fireclay sink.
Account for nominal dimensional variances of up to half an inch during countertop template creation and cabinet rough-in.
Use a standard 3.5-inch drain assembly, keeping in mind that an extended flange or ferrule may be necessary due to the thickness of the fireclay basin walls.
Apply a bead of mildew-resistant silicone sealant around the perimeter rim during undermount or flush installation to secure a watertight seal.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the glazed fireclay surface daily with a soft cloth or sponge and warm soapy water to prevent residue buildup.
Stain Removal Use mild, non-abrasive cleansers or a baking soda paste for stubborn marks, taking advantage of fireclay's chemical resistance.
Scrubbing Tools Avoid harsh steel wool or metal scouring pads that can dull the glossy finish over time.
Cookware Care Place rubber mats or protective sink grids in the basin to cushion heavy cast iron pots and prevent impact scratching.
Drain Maintenance Check the 3.5-inch drain assembly periodically to ensure the strainer gasket remains tight and leak-free.
