See 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%.

SINK MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING

SINK MATERIAL: Fine & ultra-fine fireclay
MANUFACTURING: Compression-molded, low-fired

Fossil Blu fireclay farmhouse sinks feature 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. 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 across Europe and Asia. Once at our factory, 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.

SINK FINISH (GLAZE) INFORMATION

FINISH DETAILS: Ultra-thick, silica-based glaze
COLOR: Appliance White
SHEEN: Glossy
APPLICATION: Robotically applied, high-fired

This sink features Fossil Blu’s legendary silica-based glaze, which is robotically applied, allowing for up to twice the glaze thickness compared to hand-sprayed glazing techniques. 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 means the white color has neither a warm nor cool tint. The high RGB values means the white is near perfect white (RGB each at 255).

SINK FRONT (APRON) INFORMATION

SINK FRONT: Flat / Smooth
APRON DIMENSIONS: 35-3/4" x 9-7/8""
APRON THICKNESS: 7/8””
APRON WRAP: Full length, left & right sides
CORNER RADIUS: 1/2” left & right, 1/4” top & bottom

Our most popular choice for the sink apron, Fossil Blu’s flat-front fireclay farmhouse sinks provide a clean and classic look to updated kitchens. With no imprint, the rectangular shape is itself the design... a muted elegance, allowing for other kitchen elements to share the spotlight. Our flat-front fireclay sinks feature soft edges and a supple appearance to the front, characteristic of the natural fireclay material underneath. At 7/8” thickness, it presents as a contemporary sink and is therefore a neutral fit in a variety of kitchen themes. The left and right sides of the sink are fully finished, allowing for any install depth. We generally recommend 1-1/2” to 2” of the sink to be exposed on the left and right sides.

SINK ACCESSORIES INFORMATION

ACCESSORY MATERIAL: 304 Stainless Steel
ACCESSORY FINISH: Matte Gold
GRID INCLUDED: Linear pattern, custom-fitted
DRAIN INCLUDED: 3.5” basket strainer drain and assembly
DISPOSAL FLANGE INCLUDED: 3.5” disposal flange and stopper

Included with this sink are three accessories: One (1) modern DESIGN-PRO sink grid, one (1) basket strainer drain, and one (1) garbage-disposal flange. For material strength, these accessories are made from 304 stainless steel, and finished in Matte Gold. Our Matte Gold finish is similar to “champaign bronze”, leaning lighter in color than a bold gold hue. When new, the plating of the drain and flange appears slightly shinier than the powder-coated grid, however upon use, the difference quickly fades. All Fossil Blu sink accessories carry a limited one-year warranty.

The vertical-lines 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 flows through it, preventing unsightly deposits.

These accessories are provided for your peace of mind. The removable grid protects your sink bottom from metal-transfer marks and improves drainage. The basket strainer drain is provided for those not installing a garbage disposal, while the disposal flange is provided for those who are installing a disposal.

SINK LAYOUT INFORMATION

NUMBER OF BASINS: 1
NUMBER OF DRAINS HOLES: 1
DRAIN HOLE LOCATION: Rear
DRAINAGE SLOPE: 4°
INTERIOR CORNER RADIUS: 1/2””

With straight sidewalls, tight ½” radius corners, and no center divide, our single bowl sinks provide a best-in-class sink surface from which to work. So, if you have a busy kitchen with large pots and/or many dishes, then a single bowl is the sink for you. You’ll love the roominess it affords.

SINK CARING AND CLEANING INFORMATION

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 heavy weight, 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. 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 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.
