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?

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?

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.
