The Benefits of an Authentic Farmhouse Sink.
The Quality of the Finish – The glazing of the sink surface provides both durability and shine over long periods of time. The raw material used is fine fireclay allows for uniformity in the finish. 

Durability – The sink’s glaze is practically impervious to threatening bacteria from food preparation. Stains do not penetrate the glaze and can be easily wiped away. Acids and chemical cleaners have virtually no adverse effect. Coffee stains, cigarette burns and other daily occurrences that would adversely affect kitchen sinks made from other materials are easily wiped away on fireclay sinks.

Scratches – These sinks are not adversely affected by scratches from pots, pans, knives, etc.

Thermal Shock – Thermal Shock (very hot or very cold water) has no effect whatsoever on the sink.
