Installation Guide
Consult a professional fabricator to ensure precise undermount countertop cutout dimensions for the 17 1/2 by 17 7/8 inch frame.
Support the sink securely from beneath using custom cabinet framing or heavy duty support brackets designed for a 45 pound fireclay basin.
Apply a high grade silicone sealant around the top rim for a watertight junction between the sink and the underside of the countertop.
Connect your 3 1/2 inch drain assembly carefully to the offset drain placement for optimal water flow.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe down the fireclay surface with a soft sponge and mild dish soap after each use.
Stain Removal Use standard household cleaner or a non-abrasive pad on the non-porous glaze if stubborn food residue appears.
Abrasive Scouring Feel free to use abrasive sponge pads when necessary, as the hardened fireclay glaze resists scratching.
Acid Exposure Rinse the basin thoroughly after handling highly acidic foods like lemons or vinegar to keep the glaze pristine.
