The benefits of a fireclay sink

Posted by Sinks on 27th Jun 2017

If you are undecided about what type of sink to opt for and you would like something a little bit different, a fireclay (ceramic) sink might be for you. Fireclay is a rare type of clay which can be fired at extremely high temperatures. The clay can only be found in few areas of the world, which means that authentic fireclay sinks are scarce and highly desirable. The clay is fired with a glaze, which fuse together to form a new structure. The beauty of fireclay is that it is exceptionally durable. Fireclay is resistant to acid, alkali, marks and scratches which makes it a very practical choice for a kitchen sink. Fireclay sinks typically outlive the space for which they were bought. In other words, you will probably have to replace your new kitchen long before your sink needs replacing. Whilst fireclay sinks used to be designed for country kitchens, fireclay is now utilized for every style from modern to traditional. One thing is for sure, your fireclay sink will continue to look immaculate for generations. Fireclay sinks can be found in the ceramic sinks showroom
