FAQs

What is fireclay and why is it used for sinks?

Fireclay is a type of ceramic material known for its durability, resistance to stains and scratches, and its ability to be molded into elegant shapes. It's fired at very high temperatures, creating a dense, non-porous surface that is ideal for kitchen sinks.

Does this sink have an overflow?

No, the included basket strainer waste for this sink does not have an overflow feature. This is a common design for traditional butler sinks.

Can I install this sink myself?

While installation is possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended to ensure a secure fit, proper sealing, and correct plumbing connections, especially for undermount applications.

What are the exact dimensions, and why is there a tolerance?

The nominal dimensions are W: 595 mm x D: 450 mm x H: 220 mm. A tolerance of +/- 5mm is stated due to the nature of traditional fireclay manufacturing processes, which involve natural materials and high firing temperatures.

How should I clean my fireclay sink?

Clean your sink with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For tougher stains, a mild non-abrasive cream cleaner or a baking soda paste can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

What is the warranty on this sink?

The sink itself is backed by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, and the included waste fitting has a 1-year guarantee.

Can I use this sink with a garbage disposal unit?

This sink is supplied with a specific basket strainer waste. Compatibility with garbage disposal units would depend on the disposal unit's specific requirements and whether an adapter is available. It is advisable to consult with a plumber or the disposal unit manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Sink has a slight wobble or is not level

Ensure the sink is correctly seated and all support mechanisms or fixings are tightened appropriately. Check for any debris under the rim or on the countertop surface.

Slow draining or blockages in the waste

Check the included basket strainer waste for any food debris or obstructions. Clean the strainer and ensure it is seated correctly. If the issue persists, check the plumbing trap underneath for blockages.

Water spots or dullness on the surface

Wipe the sink dry after each use. For dullness, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and rinse thoroughly, followed by drying.

Minor chips or scratches on the surface

For very minor superficial scratches, a non-abrasive cream cleaner may help. For chips, professional repair kits for ceramic may be available, or contact the manufacturer.

Care:

  • Wipe dry after use to prevent water spots.
  • Periodically check the waste fitting for any debris and clean as needed.
