Verify precise rough-in measurements for the 39 1/2 inch length and farmhouse apron front installation style before cutting your countertop and cabinet front.
Connect standard 3 1/2 inch drain assemblies to the off-set drain placement carefully using plumber putty or recommended silicone sealants.
Clean the non-porous white surface regularly with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or abrasive sponge pads as needed.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe down the fireclay surface with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth or sponge after each use.
Tough Stains Use mild abrasive cleansers or baking soda paste with an abrasive sponge pad safely on the scratch-resistant glaze without harming the finish.
Acid Resistance Rinse away lemon juice, vinegar, or harsh food acids promptly to maintain the luminous white shine over time.
