The Normandy Double Bowl Sink is a traditional French farmhouse ceramic sink and is the second most popular sink. The reason for its continued popularity is that is the largest double bowl sink available.
Unlike many other double bowl sinks on the market, its two equal-sized bowls can easily accommodate bulky oven trays, and specifically those found in Agas. In fact it is the site's only double bowl sink that allows an Aga tray to be fully immersed in water. There is nothing more annoying than having a beautiful farmhouse sink that won't take large pots, pans and trays comfortably. Having a sink large enough to take oversize items makes much lighter work of washing up. The proportions of the Normandy French farmhouse sink were designed with this in mind, and count as its most practical feature to Aga owners and anyone who uses large oven trays or extra large cooking pots.
The Normandy Double Bowl Sink is made from fireclay ceramic, as opposed to the standard ball clay, which ensures an incredibly durable product. Using fireclay ensures the sink will be incredibly hard wearing if it is looked after with a bit of care and attention
This style of traditional French farmhouse sink is very popular at the moment as it fits in with all kitchen schemes, looking great in both traditional natural wood kitchens and even in the most contemporary kitchens where the sleek ceramic lines of the sink complement the streamlined banks of kitchen units. The Normandy Double Bowl Sink not only suits all styles of kitchen, it is a very practical ceramic sink. It is perfectly suited to washing up all sizes of pots and pans, but is also ideal for washing vegetables and even defrosting large pieces of meat. Because of its generous proportions, it's easy to rest a large leg of lamb in it comfortably to defrost.
French farmhouse sinks came into being shortly after the first ceramic Belfast and Butler sinks were being manufactured at the end of the 19th century. Two French brothers, Emile and André Porcher, set up a factory in northern France, using the local clay to make their ceramic sinks. The clay used here was of a superior quality to the rough red Staffordshire clay that was commonly used at the Potteries, and allowed the French manufacturers to create a more refined product. Some of the designs first created at the end of the 19th century are still in production today, proving that good design never goes out of fashion. The Porcher name continues today at its factory in the Loire region, and enjoys a reputation as one of the oldest and most highly respected names in fireclay sink manufacture.
The Normandy Double Bowl Sink features the manufacturer's logo embossed on the side wall of the sink, giving it an authentic vintage look. The french farmhouse sink will accommodate 60mm basket strainer wastes in a non-tarnish brass or Satin chrome finish. Another option is to have a plug and chain, but in this situation the chainstay needs to be drilled into the work surface.
Although fireclay sinks are easy to maintain, it's important to follow a few simple guidelines to keep it looking its best.
Cleaning daily with a non-abrasive cleaner like washing up liquid will prevent stains like coffee and wine building up. For tougher stains, like those from aluminum saucepans, it's best to use a specialist cleaning product recommended by the manufacturers, like Astonish, which is especially formulated for fireclay ceramic sinks. Don't put a plastic washing up bowl in the sink as the dirt that collects on the base of the bowl will scratch ceramic.
The Normandy Double Bowl Sink measures 920 x 560 x 205mm.
