FAQs

What material is the Austen & Co. Florence sink made from?

The sink is engineered from high-quality Quartz Granite, composed of 80% quartz.

Can I install this sink myself?

While possible, professional installation is recommended for best results, especially for undermount applications. Ensure you have the correct 600mm cabinet base.

How do I clean the sink to keep it looking new?

Clean daily with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

Is the sink resistant to hot pans?

Yes, the quartz granite material offers good heat resistance, but it's always advisable to use trivets for extremely hot pans to ensure longevity.

What are the benefits of the 1.5 bowl design?

The larger main bowl is suitable for washing large cookware, while the smaller half-bowl allows for convenient food preparation, rinsing, or handwashing of delicate items simultaneously.

Does the sink come in different colors?

The product description mentions it is available in a range of three colors, including the black variant specified.

What is the warranty on this sink?

The product information states it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Sink appears dull or has water spots.

Rinse the sink thoroughly with water and dry completely with a soft, microfiber cloth. For persistent spots, use a cleaner designed for composite sinks and follow product instructions.

Minor scratches are visible.

Most minor scratches can be buffed out using a non-abrasive cleaner or a specialized composite sink repair kit. Always follow the kit's instructions carefully.

Discoloration from a spill.

For most common spills, immediate cleaning with mild soap and water should suffice. If a stain persists, try a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub and rinse.

  • Flexible installation options (inset or undermount).
  • Easy to maintain and hygienically safe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Installation: The Florence sink is designed for flexibility, supporting both inset (drop-in) and undermount installation methods. It requires a minimum cabinet width of 600mm. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results and to ensure proper sealing and support, especially for undermount configurations.

Compatibility: This sink is compatible with standard kitchen plumbing fixtures and waste disposal units. Ensure your countertop material and fabrication can accommodate either an inset or undermount installation.

Care: Maintaining the pristine finish of your Austen & Co. Florence sink is simple.

  1. Daily Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.
  2. Stubborn Stains: For tougher spots, a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for composite or granite sinks can be used. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals like bleach or oven cleaners, as these can damage the surface.
  4. Protect from Impact: While durable, avoid dropping heavy, sharp objects directly into the sink, as this could cause chipping or scratching.
