Shaws SCSQ460WH Square 460mm Wide Inset/Undermount Sink

• Individually Handmade by a Master Craftsman: Each Shaws sink is meticulously handcrafted by a skilled Master Craftsman, ensuring exceptional attention to detail and quality in every piece.
• Designed and Manufactured in Lancashire, England Since 1842: With over 180 years of expertise, Shaws has been producing high-quality sinks in Lancashire, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
• Stamped for Authenticity: Every sink bears the stamp of the Master Craftsman who created it, guaranteeing its authenticity and the craftsmanship behind its production.
• Solid, Dense Fireclay – No Hollow Walls: Crafted from solid, dense fireclay, this sink is significantly more durable and robust than thinner or hollow-wall alternatives, ensuring longevity and reliability.
• Thick Dual Enamel Coating for Exceptional Strength, Shine, and Durability: A heavy dual enamel coating provides an ultra-strong, glossy finish that resists wear, stains, and fading, making the sink both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
• Extremely Robust, Antibacterial, and Both Stain and Acid Resistant: Shaws sinks are built to resist staining, acid damage, and bacteria, offering superior hygiene and durability in busy kitchen environments.
• Includes Polished Chrome Basket Strainer: The polished chrome basket strainer complements the sink's appearance while ensuring efficient drainage and preventing debris from clogging the waste system.

Variance:

• All dimensions are in mm. Dimensions may vary by up to plus or minus 2%; we recommend that customers do not cut out work surfaces or units until they have taken delivery of their sink. Because all our fireclay sinks are handmade using traditional methods, they are 100% unique. Slight variations in the finish from one sink to the next add character and are in keeping with the way these sinks have been made for the past 100 years.

Installation Advice:

• Use flexible sealant in areas where your Shaws sink joins a bench top to allow for expansion.
• When installing a basket strainer or sink drain/waste, please clean each surface with mineral turpentine and apply a sufficient amount of silicone sealant around the metal waste before fixing in place. This ensures a tight seal to prevent water from draining under the flange when the sink is filled. After tightening, be sure to clean any excess silicone from around the waste before it dries.
• As Shaws sinks are a handcrafted product, we recommend your kitchen fitter is made aware of our product dimension variance of +/- 2% and that no work surfaces or cabinets are cut before measuring your sink.
• Due to the weight of our sinks, we also recommend a specialist kitchen fitter installs your sink and that it is adequately supported.

Beauty, Strength and Durability:

• Since 1897, Shaws of Darwen have produced sinks from the finest quality heavy duty fireclay at their factory in Lancashire, England. Renowned for their beauty and durability, a Shaws sink is made to last a lifetime.
• Handcrafted using a process unchanged for 120 years, every Shaws sink is still stamped with the name of the Master Craftsman who made it, a personal guarantee of quality.

Heavy Duty Fireclay:

• Heavy duty fireclay is a blend unique to Shaws, perfected over 120 years. Shaws fireclay includes the world’s finest Devon Ball Clay, which is still mixed and poured by hand. It is up to 25% more dense than clay used by other manufacturers and takes more skill to work with. The fireclay is handcrafted into thick solid walls making each sink much heavier and more durable than thinner or hollow-wall sinks.

Heavyweight Glaze:

• The quality of the glaze and its application affects the durability of a sink. Shaws unique heavyweight glaze is blended to exacting standards of strength and gloss, and is applied by a skilled specialist to ensure an even coating.
• Two layers are applied to every Shaws sink to produce a smoother and hard-wearing glaze which is typically 2-4 times thicker than sinks made by other manufacturers.
• A Shaws sink is fired at 1200 °C for 32 hours to enable the heavy duty fireclay and glaze to fuse into one inseparable and enduring body.
