Product Overview

Ask yourself this question: How much are you spending on your new kitchen? And are you willing to take a chance with an inexpensive farmhouse sink? An apron-front sink is often the focal point of the kitchen, and while inexpensive sinks look nice coming out of the box (resulting in glowing reviews), eventually their "value engineering" will catch up with them. Your kitchen is too important to cut corners, and nothing is used more than your sink. Make a sound investment with a product that has addressed the issue of glaze longevity. Fireclay sinks are comprised of sold genuine crystalline-silica fireclay. When paired with a silica-based glaze and fired at 2200 degrees, the two silicas fuse together, creating a new quartz-like material. As opposed to inferior ceramic sinks, which are usually hollow core, fired at lower temperatures, and exhibit little fusing, ours is FAR superior and engineered to remove even the possibility of hairline cracks/crazing. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and an investment is worth every penny.

Features

  • Overview: Luxury 32.75" L x 19.88" W compression-molded solid fireclay farmhouse kitchen sink. 50/50 double bowl, modern design with 1/2" radius interior corners, straight sidewalls, belted front apron, 7/8" material thickness, and glossy glaze. Elegant matte black "linear" (pattern) sink grid, basket strainer-drain, and disposal flange included
  • Sizing: Large, functional, and beautiful, this sink not only makes a statement but serves to benefit busy households. It can easily fit an entire 8-piece set of tableware after dinner is done, making this the choice of designers and homeowners alike.
  • Fine-grained quartz: This sink features authentic solid fine and ultra-fine fireclay. Authentic fireclay is a semi-rare natural white clay containing higher concentrations of fine-grained quartz (silica) than typical ceramic (kaolin) clays.
  • Compression-molding: We begin with compression molding the sink shape via a 50,000-pound hydraulic press, creating an incredibly solid structure. Next, in the first of two killings, the sink is then low-fired for two days, curing the molded substrate.
  • Glazing: This sink features legendary silica-based glaze, which is robotically applied, allowing for up to twice the glaze thickness compared to hand-sprayed glazing techniques.
  • Included accessories: One (1) custom-fitted sink grid, one (1) basket strainer drain, and one (1) garbage-disposal flange. Each of these three features neutral tones of stainless steel, and matching stainless steel appliances.
  • Over the last five years, Fossil Blu’s 33-inch-class fireclay sinks have grown in popularity to become the top-selling sink size in our line. It is designed to fit atop 33” and 36” sink base cabinets, which are standard for medium-to-large kitchens, saving you time and money during installation. See the specification sheet (below) for spec data and dimensional line art. As a natural product, minor variances in dimensions may occur. QA tolerances are held at +/- 2%.
  • When the silica-based glaze is applied (learn more about our glaze below) and then fired at extremely high temperatures, the silica of both the quartz and glaze fuse together, creating a single structure. This “single structure” is what separates fireclay from typical/inexpensive ceramic products, which are fired at lower temperatures, exhibit little fusing, and are thin and/or hollow structures. This is also why genuine fireclay sinks, such as Fossil Blu, are more expensive than inauthentic “fireclay” sinks found in the marketplace.
  • We source our fireclay base material from mines following reduced-input/output (more sustainable) mining practices in Italy, France, and Israel. Once at our factory (in Turkey), the clay is mixed with just water, then compression molded via a 50,000-pound hydraulic press. This high-pressure process not only forms the sink but removes any trapped air, resulting in a solid structure that will not bubble during kilning. The sink is then low-fired (mild heat) for two days to dry before heading to the glazing room for finishing.
  • Finish details: Ultra-thick, silica-based glaze. Application: High-fired. Sheen: Glossy.
  • Fired (kilned) at over 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, the glaze fuses with the fireclay substrate to create a permanent enamel. This high-gloss enamel has a very high hardness rating, which means it is non-porous and nearly indestructible. Standard household cleaners and mild abrasives (including bleach and bar-keeper’s Friend) are safe to use in moderation. Our white finish is similar to Appliance White (sometimes called Smoke White). RGB value averages are as follows: R: 235, G: 235, B: 237. The consistent RGB values of our finish mean the white color has neither a warm nor cool tint. The high RGB values mean the white is near perfect white (RGB each at 255).
  • Sink front: Belted. Apron wrap: Full length, left and right sides.
  • Turn-of-the-century farm sinks nearly always included a design on the front apron. The most common of which was a vertically grooved (fluted) imprint. Today, as the “modern farmhouse” trend has taken the storm, the majority of new farmhouse sinks sold feature a simple, flat-front, modern apron. However, for those seeking something more, Fossil Blu’s 2” cap-stone style belted sink offers a stately touch to an otherwise flat-front apron. The design is crisp, yet features soft edges and a supple appearance to the front, characteristic of the natural fireclay material underneath. At 1-1/8” thickness, the apron presents as a bold, sophisticated sink and, much like shaker cabinet fronts, is a good fit in a variety of classic stylistic themes. The left and right sides of the sink are fully finished, allowing for any installation depth. We generally recommend 1-1/2” to 2” of the sink to be exposed on the left and right sides.
  • Grid included: Linear pattern, custom-fitted.
  • This is a genuine electro-plated finish, wherein a nickel/copper alloy is permanently bonded to the stainless steel via electrolysis. Due to this color tint, its mirror-like polish tends to darken reflections, providing an added element of contrast against the sink bottom. As a plated finish (as opposed to painted or vinyl coated), it is incredibly durable. The vertical-line format of our design-pro grids was drawn up with input from our interior design clients to be not only eye-catching but purposeful. The narrow gaps of the grid architecture create a perfectly flat surface, preventing glassware tip-overs, yet water and debris freely flow through it, preventing unsightly deposits. These accessories are provided for your peace of mind. The removable grids protect your sink bottom from metal transfer marks and improve drainage. The basket strainer drain is provided for the side in which you will not be installing a garbage disposal, while the disposal flange is provided for the side in which you are installing a disposal.
  • Tru-90™: Some sinks angle inwards towards the base. We've engineered our sinks with 90-degree corners (+/- 2%) and straight sidewalls for easier installation, clean separations (between sink and cabinets), and the perfect rectangular form.
  • Modern design: Fossil Blu fireclay sinks are designed with tighter corners and straighter sidewalls for a definitively up-to-date appearance. Combine this with luxurious accessories and a bold rectangular front apron, and your sink becomes the centerpiece of your remodeled kitchen.
  • Generous sizing: By trimming down the wall thickness, increasing overall front-to-back width, and flattening out curves, Fossil Blu farmhouse sinks boast some of the largest interior work-space measurements in the industry.
  • Fossil Blu fireclay sinks feature a very durable silica-based glaze. Silica is one of the hardest substances on earth and is the base element of quartz, crystal, glass, and more. Given this hardness, your sink will never stain, can handle boiling water being poured into it, will never pit or craze (spiderweb-like cracks in the finish), and aside from major events involving heavyweight, will never crack, chip, or break. Of course, the best thing you could do to maintain your sink would be to dry it after every use, but we recognize this is unrealistic for busy households. The good news is that whatever daily soap and/or cleaner you normally use is the same cleaner you can keep right on using in your Fossil Blu sink. And should you ever see hard-water mineral buildups or other such deposits, semi-abrasive chemical cleaners such as a comet or bar keepers friend are also fine to use in moderation. Nylon scouring pads such as Scotch-Brite pads and sponges are great options and will not hurt the finish. We do not recommend steel wool or other heavy abrasives as, while they won’t hurt the sink, over time they will dull the sheen. Do not use semi-abrasive chemical cleaners on metal finishes, including the drain, grid, faucet, or any other metal hardware as these finishes are not as durable as our silica glaze.
