FAQs

What material is the sink made from?

The sink is crafted from durable fireclay ceramic, known for its strength and non-porous surface.

What is the advantage of a 1.5 bowl sink?

The 1.5 bowl configuration offers flexibility, allowing you to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, such as washing in the larger bowl while rinsing or preparing food in the smaller one.

What color are the included wastes?

The sink comes with wastes finished in brushed pewter, offering a premium metallic accent.

Can this sink be undermounted?

No, this sink is specifically designed for inset installation, meaning it sits on top of the countertop within a cutout.

How should I clean the fireclay surface?

Clean regularly with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners to prevent damage.

What are the overall dimensions of the sink?

The sink measures 101cm in width.

Is professional installation recommended?

Troubleshooting

Sink appears to be discolored

Clean the sink with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For persistent discoloration, use a paste of baking soda and water, gently rubbing the affected area. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Water is not draining properly from one bowl

Check the waste and trap assembly for blockages. Ensure the overflow is clear if applicable. Verify that the plumbing connections are secure and not obstructed.

Minor chips or scratches are visible

For very minor surface marks, try a specialized fireclay repair kit or a paste of baking soda. For significant chips, professional assessment may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This sink is designed for inset installation, meaning it sits within a cutout in your countertop. Ensure your countertop is adequately supported and that the cutout dimensions precisely match the sink's template. Standard plumbing connections will be required for the main and half bowls. Professional installation is recommended to ensure a watertight seal and proper fit.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard kitchen plumbing systems and most countertop materials that can accommodate an inset sink installation. Check the specific dimensions against your planned cabinet base and countertop space.

Care: To maintain the bright white finish of the fireclay ceramic, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. For stubborn marks or hard water stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied. Ensure the brushed pewter wastes are wiped dry after use to prevent water spotting.
