Installation Guide
Ensure your custom cabinet or apron-front base is accurately measured and built to support the substantial 119-pound weight of the fireclay basin.
Account for the nominal dimensional variance of up to 0.5 inches when dry-fitting the sink into your cabinetry cutout prior to final plumbing connections.
Verify if your chosen drain assembly requires an extended flange or ferrule to accommodate the thick fireclay wall construction properly.
Routinely clean the glazed surface with mild dish soap and warm water to maintain its luster without needing harsh chemical cleansers.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe down the fireclay bowl with a soft sponge, warm water, and mild dish soap after each use to prevent residue buildup.
Stain Removal Use a non-abrasive cleaner or a gentle baking soda paste for stubborn marks on the glazed surface.
Metal Marks Address grey metal transfer marks from pots and pans using specialized ceramic cleaner designed for fireclay materials.
Grid Protection Utilize compatible bottom grids to shield the base of the double bowls from heavy impacts and scratching.
Underside Care Keep in mind that small cosmetic cracks on the unglazed underside are normal characteristics of fireclay and require no maintenance.
