Welcome to our latest Fireclay Sink review blog post where we dive deep into the world of fireclay sinks. At Turner Hastings, we take our commitment to quality seriously. To ensure that our fireclay sinks are built to last and stand up to the demands of everyday life, we've put them through rigorous testing. In this post, we'll share the insights from our fireclay sink testing video, so you can see for yourself what makes our sinks the perfect choice for your kitchen.


What Is Fireclay and Why Is It So Popular?

Before we get into the testing details, let's briefly discuss what fireclay is and why it's gained popularity as a material for kitchen sinks. Fireclay is a type of ceramic material known for its durability and timeless aesthetic. These sinks are crafted by moulding and glazing the clay then firing at an extremely high temperature, resulting in a non-porous, sturdy surface.


The Fireclay Sink Testing Process

In our video, we performed a series of tests to evaluate the durability, stain resistance, and heat resistance of our fireclay sinks. Here's a breakdown of the key tests:

1. Impact Testing

We dropped a saucepan into the sink to see how it withstands impacts. The results might surprise you!

2. Stain Resistance

From red wine to beetroot, we placed some of the most common kitchen stain culprits into the sink to test its stain-resisting capabilities. Spoiler alert: the outcome was impressive!

3. Heat Endurance

We exposed the sink to boiling water during winter to see if it can handle high temperatures without getting damaged.


The Results

Without giving away too much, let's just say that our fireclay sinks passed with flying colours! They proved to be incredibly durable, resisting both impacts and stains with ease. Plus, they handled high temperatures like a champ, which is crucial for any kitchen sink.
