Are fireclay sinks durable?

Contrary to popular belief, Fireclay sinks are extremely durable. They are a sturdy form of ceramic that has a specially coated glaze fused with the fireclay body during the firing process. The clay is transformed into an impact resistant dense material during this period. Their design allows them to keep their sleek appearance over a long period of time. These sinks are very simple to care for and maintain and come with many amazing qualities, making them sit superior to a lot of other sink styles. A fireclay sink is made with hard enamel which makes it highly scratch, heat and stain resistant material.

We do not recommend using undiluted chemicals such as bleach when cleaning your fireclay sink. Instead, we suggest using a soft cloth with a multipurpose cleaner and water when wiping your sink down daily. In rare cases, the sink enamel can potentially chip if pots and pans are handled harshly and dropped in the sink, however, you can protect your sink with the use of a sink grid or mat. These products also protect your glassware and fine china when getting placed into this tough sink.

It is common to mistake fireclay sinks for a regular ceramic sink. Ceramic sinks are known to be more fragile and can smash, scratch or chip more easily. Fireclay sinks on the other hand are more durable than ceramic sinks, as they are non-porous and heat resistant. Our website offers further information on the durability of fireclay sinks, along with a sink care guide, which you can refer to whenever you need.

Double-Bowl Sink Vs. Single Bowl

For years, people have asked the age-old question. Which is better? A single bowl or a double bowl sink? Each sink comes with its advantages and disadvantages and ultimately the decision is yours. Sometimes it can be a hard decision to make however and so you will want to first check the requirements and demands of your project and base your choice from this. A single bowl is a sink made up of a basin with no dividers. A double sink is a large basin that has been separated by a divider to create two individual bowls.

A single-bowl sink is great for small kitchen or laundry layouts and as they are typically smaller than double-bowl sinks. They’re often considered to have more room to maneuver pots and pans with no divider to bump into. The common ailment of a single bowl sink is that the bowl can become overcrowded with dirty dishes, which can get in the way when trying to get a drink, rinse your hands or fill a water bottle. In this case, a build in drainboard can be useful.

Double-bowl sinks are perfect for when you need to wash dishes by hand. Even with the invention of dishwashers, double bowl-sinks still come in handy to help out with this household task. Some double-bowl sinks are multipurpose with a built-in cutting board that covers one bowl to create extra bench space. It’s easy to separate your dirty dishes in one side of the sink while you do veggie food prep in the other side. If you’re using the sink in the laundry, then you can use one bowl for soaking linen or washing your precious pooch, while keeping the other bowl free to complete other tasks. It’s the perfect solution for any major multitasker. A double bowl will take up more counter space and doesn’t allow a lot of space for larger pots, pans and chopping boards.

With these features in mind, you can make an informed decision on what is the best option to choose for your individual project.
