A fireclay farmhouse sink is a statement piece, and it is also heavy and particular about its rough-in. The plumbing and the cabinet both need to be ready for it.
The material
Fireclay is a ceramic fired at high temperature, giving a durable, glossy surface that resists scratches and stains.
The apron
The farmhouse apron front means the sink sits on a modified cabinet, and the counter and cabinet must be built around it.
The drain
The drain opening is standard, but the sink's depth and weight mean the drain and the disposal need proper support.
The install
The faucet holes and the counter cutout are ordered to spec, and the install is heavier than a standard sink. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Blaine, this is a popular remodel centerpiece.
The cabinet
The farmhouse apron means the cabinet is modified or replaced, and the sink is set before the counter. Plan the whole install together.
