Craftsmanship: Each stone sink is an individual work of art, carved from a single block of stone. Each block of stone has its own characteristics including color variation, veining, minor pits or flecks of minerals such as copper, silver, or gold. It is important to understand granite, marble, and other stones are natural materials and their inconsistencies should be appreciated. Much of the work is done by master craftsmen using simple hammers and chisels. Because very little work is done with hand-held saws and polishing tools, your sink is a one-of-a-kind creation that you can cherish for years to come. |

Installation: Because most stone is porous, it is important to take special care of your sink to protect against harmful substances. Upon receiving your sink, seal with a product such as StoneTech Heavy Duty Sealer. When installing your sink, be careful to use silicone to seal the drain to the sink and use extra caution to keep the silicone away from the exposed sink area. Oil-based sealers or plumbers putty should never be used on your sink. These products will stain the stone if applied near the surface of the polished basin. Support bars should be used with kitchen sinks. |

Cleaning and Maintenance: After each use, wipe the basin dry with a soft cloth. Prevent the development of hard water deposits by cleaning regularly with a granite and marble cleaner, such as Stonetech Revitalizer Cleaner & Protector. Refrain from using acidic household cleaners, wipes with harsh chemicals, or abrasives, as these will damage stone. To retain your sink's natural shine, reseal your sink once or twice a year with a product such as StoneTech Heavy Duty Sealer. If staining occurs, use a standard stone and tile stain remover. For more difficult stains, apply a poultice product from StoneTech directly to the stain. |
