Fired Up About Fireclay
If you love to follow home improvement and design trends, then you know that fireclay is everything we love. There’s no sign that will change anytime soon. In fact, Sinkology’s Inspire collection of farmhouse sinks is exclusively made from fireclay material. Want to know what it is about fireclay that has us all fired up? We’ll share our favorite things about it, and we can’t wait to hear what you love, too!
What is fireclay?
Fireclay is a natural clay known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and becomes more durable as it’s fired. At Sinkology, we use this to our advantage by firing each sink at temperatures over 2100°F. This process locks in the clay’s structure, creating a heavy, durable product. Our sinks are finished with the SureFireTM sealant, adding an extra layer of shine and durability while enhancing the crisp white color. This ensures a long-lasting, high-quality sink that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal.
Why is fireclay perfect for sinks?
The combination of beauty and durability of fireclay sinks is hard to beat. Unlike a cast iron or porcelain sink, fireclay sinks are incredibly durable. During the firing process, the clay itself transforms into a dense, durable material that is ideal for handling the demands of a busy kitchen. Our fireclay sinks are guaranteed not to chip, crack, stain, or rust—meaning your sink can always look as beautiful as the day you bought it.
Is fireclay hard to keep clean?
Good news—fireclay is super simple to clean! In fact, Sinkology fireclay farmhouse sinks only need light daily cleaning or rinsing to ensure it remains bright and beautiful. We finish our sinks with the amazing SureFire finish, which coats the exterior of your sink and seals it from any stains or damage. There are a few best practices, like washing your sink regularly with warm soap and water and avoiding harsh chemicals and steel wool/metal cleaning pads. Other than that, just wipe it down and go!
What style of kitchen does fireclay match?
Here’s the best part: fireclay’s classic, timeless look matches any style! We offer three different sizes of farmhouse fireclay sink. The most important part of matching your kitchen’s style is picking the right faucet and handles. Sinkology makes that super easy by doing the hard work for you.
