First Time Use & Tips
Yes, our stainless steel kitchen sinks are compatible with any waste disposal model.
PVD is an innovative technology that deposits a very fine, thin layer of coloured metal film on a stainless steel sink.
PVD stands for physical vapor deposition. The process takes place inside a vacuum chamber where a precious metal, is evaporated, and the particles are deposited onto the product.
The colouring is achieved through Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) which deposits a very fine and thin metal film onto a stainless steel sink.
Once the colour application is finished, a nano coating is applied to the sink which further enhances the surface making it resistance to mould and bacteria.
Yes, the basket wastes and protective grid included, are colour matched with the sink.
When the ‘Product Care & Maintenance’ guidelines are followed, the colour of the sink is guaranteed from fading, however it is
not guaranteed against scratching and general wear and tear.
The colouring is a very fine, thin metal film on the surface of the stainless steel which will endure everyday use however if scratched harshly enough (i.e. gouged with a sharp knife), stainless steel could potentially show through.
All our sink and tap range, both stainless and coloured options, should be cared for in the same manner and cleaned with a mix of mild liquid detergent / soap and water. Following this step, they should then be rinsed and dried.
Furthermore, juices or acids from food should not be left to settle on the surface and should be cleaned off immediately as they can contain citric acids which over time can etch into the surface.
It is also highly recommended to use the protective grid provided with the coloured sinks, to protect the surface of the bowl from incidental damage and help maintain the appearance.
For further advice, please refer to the ‘Product Care & Maintenance’ section in the installation manual.
Never use harsh detergents, solvents or acidic cleaners, citrus based cleaners, lime scale removers, household vinegar, and cleaning agents containing acetic acid on any products as these will scratch and corrode a stainless steel sink.
Additionally, use of wax based furniture cream should be avoided as these can result in a build-up of deposits, which could detract from the appearance.
