Are fireclay kitchen sinks durable?

The material in a fireclay farmhouse sink is fired at an extremely high temperature. This creates a ceramic-like finish that’s durable and resistant to scratches and stains. It’s non-porous, so it's easy to keep clean and prevent the growth of bacteria.

What is the difference between a fireclay and a porcelain sink?

Fireclay and porcelain are both a type of ceramic, but fireclay is heated to much higher temperatures. This results in a more durable finish than what you'll find in an ordinary porcelain sink. It’s denser and more resistant to chips, scratches, and stains. That's largely why a fireclay sink has become a top choice for busy kitchens.

Do fireclay apron sinks require special installation?

Like a farmhouse sink, fireclay apron sink is much heavier than other types of sink and requires an installation that can support all that extra weight. That may include modifications to the undermount kitchen cabinet area. The countertop will also need to be cut to accommodate the apron front of the sink. Installation by a professional is recommended and will save you lots of headaches.Also, understand that standard cabinets won’t be sufficient to fit a 10-inch farmhouse sink. You’ll need one that accommodates the height as well as the weight.

How do I maintain a fire clay kitchen sink?

Rinse your fireclay sink each day with mild soap and a soft cloth. Dry it afterwards to prevent mineral buildup. If there are any stains, use baking soda and gently scrub with a soft brush, or use a non-abrasive cleaner like Bon Ami. Avoid bleach, ammonia, steel wool, and any other harsh scrubbers.
