FAQs

What are the dimensions of the sink?

The sink measures 795mm in width. Specific depth and bowl dimensions are typically found in the product's technical specification sheet.

Is the tap included in the bundle?

Yes, the bundle includes the Brushed Brass crosshead tap, along with the necessary wastes for both bowls.

Can I install this sink myself?

Basic DIY skills may suffice for installation if you are familiar with kitchen plumbing. However, for optimal results and to ensure proper sealing and connections, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended.

How do I clean the fireclay sink?

Clean the fireclay sink with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads.

What type of plumbing connections does the tap use?

The tap uses standard plumbing connections found in most kitchens. Please refer to the product manual for specific thread sizes if you need to source replacement parts.

Is the Brushed Brass finish durable?

The Brushed Brass finish is designed for durability with proper care. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals to maintain its appearance over time.

What is the benefit of a stepped weir?

The stepped weir promotes smoother drainage by guiding water efficiently towards the waste outlet, helping to prevent pooling and potential blockages.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Check if the tap is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the internal valve may need servicing or replacement. Consult the tap manufacturer's guide or a plumber.

Slow drainage in one bowl

Ensure the stepped weir is clear of debris. Check the waste pipe for any blockages. Flush with hot water and a mild cleaning solution.

Sink has minor chips or scratches

For minor chips, consider using a fireclay repair kit. For scratches, gentle buffing with a non-abrasive cleaner may help reduce their visibility. Avoid dropping heavy items onto the sink.

Brushed Brass finish is tarnishing

Use a soft cloth and a dedicated cleaner for brass finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the tap is dried after use to prevent water spots.
