FAQs

What material is the sink made from?

The sink is constructed from premium fireclay, known for its durability, resistance to heat and stains, and elegant finish.

What are the dimensions of the sink?

The sink measures 101cm in length, and it is a 1.5 bowl configuration with an integrated drainer.

Are the wastes included with the sink?

Yes, the sink bundle includes stylish and durable brushed brass wastes for both bowls.

Is this sink suitable for a garbage disposal unit?

Yes, this sink is compatible with standard waste fittings, including those for garbage disposal units, provided the unit itself is compatible with the sink's waste outlet size.

How do I maintain the white finish?

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher stains, a baking soda paste can be effective. Always rinse and dry thoroughly.

Can this sink be undermounted?

No, this is specifically designed as an inset sink, meaning it sits on top of the countertop with the rim resting on the surface.

What is the main advantage of a 1.5 bowl sink?

A 1.5 bowl sink offers greater versatility. The larger bowl is ideal for washing pots and pans, while the smaller bowl is perfect for rinsing, defrosting, or as a secondary prep area.

Troubleshooting

Sink appears discolored or stained

Use a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to the stain, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Drainage is slow

Check the included brushed brass wastes for any debris or blockages. Clean the waste trap if accessible. Ensure plumbing connections are not kinked.

Minor chips on the surface

For very small chips, a fireclay repair kit in a matching white shade may be used following the kit's instructions. Avoid dropping heavy items onto the sink surface.

Water spots visible

Ensure the sink is thoroughly dried after each use, especially the drainer. Regular cleaning with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner will also help prevent water spots.
