Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Belfast and a Butler sink?

The main difference is the overflow style. A Belfast sink traditionally features a "weir" overflow (a visible slot or weir at the back), designed originally for London's plentiful water supply. A Butler sink historically had no overflow to encourage water conservation. Today, while many Butler sinks include modern overflows, the "Belfast" name still refers to the classic deep-bowl design with a traditional weir.

Will a Belfast sink fit into a standard kitchen cabinet?

No, a Belfast or Butler sink requires a specific apron-front sink cabinet. Because these sinks are heavy (often 30kg-50kg) and sit on top of the unit rather than being suspended, the cabinet must have a reinforced internal shelf and a cut-out front. Most single bowls fit a 600mm unit, while double bowls require an 800mm or 1000mm unit.

What is "Fireclay" and why is it used for farmhouse sinks?

Fireclay is a specialized ceramic material fired at temperatures exceeding 1200°C. This intense heat fuses the clay and glaze together, creating a material that is much harder and more durable than standard bathroom ceramic. It is non-porous, heat-resistant, and highly resistant to acids and food stains, making it the gold standard for a hard-working kitchen.

Do I need a specific type of waste kit for these sinks?

Yes. Because ceramic sinks have thicker walls than stainless steel, you often need a long-bolt basket strainer waste. Many of our premium models, such as those from the London Sink Company, include the correct matching waste and overflow kit. Always check the product description to see if the waste kit is included or needs to be added to your order.

How do I prevent my ceramic sink from marking?

While fireclay is incredibly scratch-resistant, heavy cast-iron pans can sometimes leave "metal marks" (which look like scratches but are actually deposits of metal on the glaze). These can usually be removed with a specialized ceramic cleaner. To prevent this, we recommend using a stainless steel sink protector grid or a rubber mat at the bottom of the bowl during heavy use.
